Re: How to find system call in kernel source code?

The sendfile(2) function is apparently a kernel system call. I've
find /usr/src -type f -exec grep -il sendfile {} \; and several

table.
The default implementation of sendfile() is in the file:
src/sys/kern/uipc_syscalls.c
Look for '^sendfile' with grep(1).
The arguments of sendfile() are copied in a struct sendfile_args{} and
then passed to do_sendfile(). The definition of the sendfile_args
struct is in src/sys/sys/sysproto.h and it looks a bit scary with all
that padding and macro 'magic' going on around it.
This is also related to P/R bin/89100. At least for me, RELENG_6
fails to send files greater than 4 GB after a few hours or days on
the disk. Freshly copied files work fine. No problem copying the file
with cp. And md5 confirms the contents have not changed.
This sounds suspiciously like a 32-bit value overflowing somewhere :-/

Re: inetd.conf becomes blank after reboot
Jayesh Jayan wrote:
Hi,
On some of the machine where I have FreeBSD 5.4, /etc/inetd.conf becomes a
blank file soon after reboot.
I have kept a copy of the file and when the service fails after reboot I
restore the backup and restart the inetd service.
What I need to check, to solve this issue. How can this be solved
permanently ? Please also let me know the logs which I can check to find the
exact issue.
I'm afraid that the most likely cause is something *you* did. Nothing
in the system would deliberately remove that file, and if it is
happening because of some misconfiguration then nothing would appear in
a log file.
Two things to try:
1) Find references in /etc and /usr/local/etc to inetd.conf. These
are the likely places to find the problem.
find /etc /usr/local/etc -type f -exec egrep -H inetd {} \;
2) Compare /etc and /usr/local/etc on the failing machines with the
ones on good machines.
Changing the flags on /etc/inetd.conf to prevent it being blanked should
work around the symptoms, but not the cause. This should work:
chflags schg /etc./inetd.conf
But if you run in secure mode you'll need to go down to single-user to
get rid of the flag, and you can't edit inetd.conf with the flag in place.

Some questions about ports system

Problem with FreeBSD 6 -STABLE and Dell PowerEdge 2850 spewing arp requests
Hi All, I have a problem with FreeBSD 6 -Stable, i built the machine with -RELEASE and it's been running fine for the last few weeks.. Today i tryed to make the jump to -STABLE by running cvsup on the RELENG_6 branch, running makebuildworld/kernel which built fine without any errors.. upon the first reboot the machine did not come back up.. I went down to the data centre where the machine is COLO'd and saw the machine did boot the new kernel.. it just has no network connectivity.. The Machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2850, Raid 1 volume on the Perc4i controller.. there are 2 Intel 1000BT adaptors.. i poked around making sure there were no errors in the syslog etc.. the machine comes up fine as mentioned... and the only odd thing i found was 1) in the output of ps -aux there was over 100 IRQ's listed.. and 2) the network adapter is puking arp requests flooding the local network.. With no fix in sight i re-installed the source and base binary's from the installer which fixed the problem as the machine was back at -RELEASE.. it worked great.. i thought at first i may have had left over files in /usr/obj but from what i thought that should not affect the kernel build/install.. regardless i followed the handbook and removed the /usr/obj/usr dir and ran cvsup again to get the -STABLE source.. i ran make cleandir and started the process over again.. and once again after the kernel install the machine loses it's networking capabilities and starts spewing Arp requests... Could anyone offer any insight? Sorry about not having a dmesg but i dont have access to the machine at the moment as it's dead :P Thanks Rob. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

FreeBSD 5.4 Via Unichrome / CLE266 Xorg hardware mpeg decoding
Hello, I'm kind of lost after all the searching and trying the different solutions. The situation: I have a motherboard with the Via Unichrome Integrated Graphics which should support hardware mpeg2 decoding, a feature I really need on this box. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 Release with xorg 6.8.2 from ports. For the past two day's I've tried a number of possible solutions to get it to work, I do get X to work, but not with hw-mpeg-acceleration. Among the things I've tried: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=freebsd-mobilea=2005-03m=754535 The error I'm getting at this point is : [drm] failed to load kernel module via (EE) VIA(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI Apparently Unichrome doesn't support hw-mpeg-decoding anymore, on the other hand I don't have a clue on how to use the Openchrome alternative. For the record, I only need hw-mpeg-decoding in combination with mplayer, so if there's a solution that doesn't need X at all it would be even better. Can anyone give me some pointers to get hardware mpeg decoding to run in conjunction with mplayer? Whether it is via the kernel module, or any other option, I just need it to work.

It keeps crapping out with sk0: watchdog timeout and appears to take the whole desktop down with it, apps become unresponsive and Nautilus basically freezes. Bringing the interface down and up restores connectivity, unfortunately Nautilus won't continue copying files (despite it offering a Retry button, it just kept spewing errors) so having to manually figure out what was and wasn't copied over every 20GB or so is quickly becoming a pain in the behind. Looks like some PRs were filed on this issue but I guess they haven't been able to fix it (yet? - say yes please). It may also be worth noting that this NIC also lost connectivity in Windows XP from time to time forcing me to disable/enable it, so maybe the NIC itself is just garbage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Unable to install on large hard drive
Steve Bertrand wrote: I have a small partition for the windows system that is 5 gig, a large partition for programs and data that is 18 gig, and around 15 gig left for fBSD. The installer squawks about the drive geometry, and says it will use a more sane geometry. I set up the slices and it doesn't squawk about writing them, and then attempts to install the system. I immediately get an error Write failure on transfer! and it can't seem to write anything to the drive. This may be the wrong approach, but what exactly are you feeding to the installer in regards to space per filesystem? ie: - 250m (for /) - xxxm (for swap) - xm (for /usr) - etc etc / - 512m swap - 1024m (2x system memory) /var - 512m /usr - the rest (something like 12g or so) This setup has worked for me in other computers, but this is the first time I've had such a large drive, or tried dual booting. I've ignored those errors in the past, and have had no difficulty. This has occurred since the 4.x days for me. Mind you, I never have (and god willing) never will run a Windows system alongside FBSD, but perhaps trying to feed it what you want for the most of the filesystems, and when you get to the last, just accept the default block amount that FBSD provides you with, and let it use the rest. That's what I did. It's not writing *anything*, so I doubt filesystem size has anything to do with it. I tried accepting the default fBSD geometry as well as a couple other seemingly obvious choices with the same results. The good news is, it isn't harming my windows partitions. I can easily boot back into windows and everything there works. I'd suggest backing up your data on the Windows partition(s) if you have anything crutially important (especially if you are not familiar with recovering data), before you keep hammering at it.

Problem with Firewall...
Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 6-Release on my AMD AthlonXP box. I recompiled the kernel with 'cvstag=6_RELENG' with firewall enabled and everything went smoothly. I buildworld, compiled kernel and installed it. And after installing the world in single user mode, I tried to boot into newly installed kernel, everything seems to be fine except that there is no internet connection. I enabled the FIREWALL=yes in my rc.conf and the firewall type I specied as 'client'. Also I specified the IP address and network in the 'rc.firewall' file. I have a VoIP adapter at home connected through my cable modem, and my ethernet connection is coming out of it. I specied a static internal IP with a gateway. Even when I booted my newly compiled kernel, the VoIP phone seems to be not working. I also have debian linux on my second harddisk and the internet is working fine on debian. Can anyone please tell me what's going wrong? and if I am missing something. thanks in advance, Siva ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Instructions for upgrading?
where can i find simple instructions for upgrading to a new major version? im running 4.10 right now and want to change to 6.0--why not? heh--but the installation page in the handbook just talks about doing it from scratch. and the entire upgrade' section of the 6.0 release notes just says Source upgrades to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE are only supported from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE or later. Users of older systems wanting to upgrade 6.0-RELEASE will need to update to FreeBSD 5.3 or newer first, then to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. Important: Upgrading FreeBSD should, of course, only be attempted after backing up all data and configuration files. but doesnt say how to really do it. same with the 5.x release notes. im willing to do this in two step, from 4.10 to 5.4 and then to 6.0, if that is neccessary. my laptop doesnt have a CD drive of a floppy drive, so i want to do it over the network but i need simple instructions if someone can help. thank you! jen __ Yahoo!

Re: Yesterday's -STABLE kernel corrupts LAN
Wow I must be missing something here on a very basic, fundamental level. I run FreeBSD-RELEASE on a production box. I have my reservations but it was the only release that supported my RAID controller, so I had no choice (or buy a $300 raid card that was supported). Anyway it works fine so far (knock heavily and repeatedly on huge pieces of wood). I've read the FreeBSD notes regarding the differences between STABLE, CURRENT and RELEASE. So uh, what is supposed to be run on a production box? In plain sight on the FreeBSD site it says Latest production release which is 6.0-RELEASE...are we only supposed to run RELEASE on production systems or are we supposed to run STABLE?

Re: Yesterday's -STABLE kernel corrupts LAN
FreeBSD should really consider changing the name of their branch name STABLE to DEV or PRE-RELEASE, since it clearly states on freebsd.org the STABLE branch is for those wishing to track and contribute to the development process of the next FreeBSD RELEASE. It makes sense to leave RELEASE the way it is, since RELEASE branches are meant exactly for how their namesake states. FreeBSD-CURRENT pretty much self-explains what it's meant for, which is the latest, bleeding edge code, which once tested is added to STABLE...or wait, then maybe CURRENT should be called DEV? ahhh!! :) matt On 11/26/05, J.D.

Fun with passwd files

I run pwd_mkdb on the master.passwdfile. This was working dandy until a few moments ago. I added a user, then attempted to delete the user using pw userdel username and I get this: host# pw userdel jschneider pw: user 'jschneider' does not exist: No such file or directory This was weird. I can usermod, usershow and finger jschneider just fine. When I change jschneider's password using passwd, magically I am now able to delete him using pw userdel. I found out jschneider was being added to /etc/master.passwd but not into /etc/passwd. However previous users I had manually added using the same method did end up in the /etc/passwd file.

Re: Fun with passwd files
Ah-haseems if I do anything to update the /etc/passwd file, it'll populate with the latest /etc/master.passwd entries...for example I just updated the default shell for a different users, and voila, I see good ol' jschneider added to the /etc/passwd file now. So, I was likley only seeing previous users in there because I was randomly updating other user attributes. The question now is this...I see a switch for pwd_mkdb which is -p, meaning generate a /etc/passwd file. Going forward, when manually adding a new user to /etc/master.passwd, am I now to issue pwd_mkdb -p file to properly update /etc/passwd at the same time?

I once had the old driver installed which came with emuctrl, a program which controls the volume. Entering emuctrl set in1 100 enabled sound for the cd player. But with the new driver in the ports emuctrl doesn't work anymore and mixer is unable to control the volume for in1. So my question is how to enable the volume for the dvd player with this driver.

This time syslog records that both named.conf and that zone have been reloaded. Did you actually make a change to one of the zone files? or did you just look at logs? If you make a change to one of the zone files without changing the serial number, and then do rndc reload, the changes will be reflected in queries sent to that named process. To quote the fourth edition of DNS and BIND page 432: When you reload the primary, it loads the updated zone file regardless of whether you've changed the serial number. -Glenn Of course, the serial number change ALSO signals to slaves that they need to update their copies. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Running mrtg on FreeBSD
Heya folks, I hope this question isn't too MRTG-centric in-so-far-as I should be posting it to the MRTG list (which I have and received no response) My quandry: I don't want MRTG run as root, however creating a crontab in /var/cron for the mrtg user yeilds errors every time it tries to run. mrtg user entry: mrtg:*:10103:10103::0:0:MRTG Stats Collector:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin mrtg directory permissions: cd /usr/local/etc drwxr-xr-x 2 mrtg wheel 512 Nov 23 15:10 mrtg My output directory: drwxr-xr-x 2 mrtg wheel 512 Nov 23 14:18 mrtg crontab entry: */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg Error: 2005-11-24 17:55:00 -- Started mrtg with config '/usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg' 2005-11-24 17:55:00 -- Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 720. 2005-11-24 17:55:00 -- Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 720. 2005-11-24 17:55:00 -- ERROR: Can't Execute '/rateup' If I run the same cron job as root, it works just dandy.

There's no need for MRTG to be run by root; any user will do. Add a line like the following to the *crontab* entry for the appropriate user. I've experienced this problem on 4.11 and 6.0.

Re: Fun with passwd files

Going forward, when manually adding a new user to /etc/master.passwd, am I now to issue pwd_mkdb -p file to properly update /etc/passwd at the same time? Seems to me this is the thing to do, however it's my first time really messing with this sort of thing... Set $EDITOR properly, and run vipw. That program will let you edit the password file and then update the other system-specific password databases correctly. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I enabled the FIREWALL=yes in my rc.conf and the firewall type I specied as 'client'. Also I specified the IP address and network in the 'rc.firewall' file. I have a VoIP adapter at home connected through my cable modem, and my ethernet connection is coming out of it. I specied a static internal IP with a gateway. Even when I booted my newly compiled kernel, the VoIP phone seems to be not working. I also have debian linux on my second harddisk and the internet is working fine on debian. Can anyone please tell me what's going wrong? and if I am missing something. thanks in advance, Siva Could you attach your kernel config file and /etc/rc.conf. I suspect that you didn't put gateway_enable=YES into rc.conf but there are other things that could be an issue besides that. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
