error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6

2006-03-16 Thread andy
I recently upgraded to 6.1 beta3, and am now having a problem with
Realplayer.  When I try to start it from the command line, I get the
following:

# realplay
/usr/X11R6/lib/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


I googled, but there does not seem to be a fix.  Any suggestions for
fixing are appreciated.


TIA

Sound Crackling When Reading From Hard Drives

2006-03-16 Thread Mark Kane
Hi everyone. I have been experiencing problems with sound crackling 
under certain situations of disk activity for the life of this machine. 
It has occurred with 5.4-RELEASE, 6.0-RELEASE, and three different 
versions of 6.1-PRERELEASE. It's not a huge problem but I thought I'd 
post about this situation in case there is a known fix, and if not then 
offer to help try any patches to get it resolved assuming it's not my 
hardware being odd.


First off, the relevant hardware is as follows (full dmesg attached):
Athlon64 3000+
GA-K8NS Pro Motherboard (nForce3)
1.5GB RAM
Sound Blaster Augidy 2 Platinum
6 PATA hard drives (varying sizes, see dmesg)
Promise ATA Card (PDC20269)

Originally I thought it was just when extracting archives like tar or 
rar which uses disk I/O and CPU power to extract them, but tonight I was 
just copying data between drives which I don't do very much and the 
problems occurred as well. So then I started doing some tests of copying 
an 800MB file back and forth between hard drives while playing a music 
file and documenting my results. My results and the hard drives are at 
the end of this message. I didn't test every possible combination 
because I realized that it probably has to do with reading from drives 
in general and not just extracting archives.


I then did another test with md5 to test my reading from disk theory. 
When using a utility like `md5`, sound crackling occurred when using 
`md5` on files from the same source drives that had problems copying 
FROM in the below tests. In other words, copying a file from ad12 to ad0 
produced heavy crackling in the below copy tests but copying the same 
file from ad0 to ad12 did not. When using `md5` on the file located on 
ad12 it makes the bad crackling noise, but once again it has no 
crackling problems when md5ing the same file located on ad0.


Three of the drives are on the motherboard's on-board controllers. The 
mobo has a total of four onboard IDE channels, so each hard drive is 
master on it's own dedicated channel and the DVD burner has it's own 
channel too. The remaining three hard drives are on a Promise (PDC20269) 
PCI ATA card. They all have brand new proper cables and have no other 
problems.


The same result happens with different music file types (ogg, wave, mp3) 
being played back from various drives. When rebuilding for 6.1-BETA4 I 
tried the ULE scheduler instead of the 4BSD. ULE seems to do better for 
video playback which had some stuttering problems before, but doesn't 
change this sound crackling problem when reading from hard drives. 
However with ULE I did experience a few seconds of freezing while trying 
to get out of my screensaver (just a black screen) as there was HD 
activity in the background as well as an earlier 5-10 second freeze 
while playing video from one HD at the same time another HD was decoding 
some files, but that's another topic.


I have no special options enabled in my kernel now except for the 
emu_10k1 driver and atapicam.


Here is a sample of the crackling when doing some of the below copy 
tests. A few seconds of the normal song is first, then I start the copy 
when the crackling kicks in...followed by a few seconds of normal 
playback again after it's done. It's harder to notice on the second cut 
but I tried a couple genres of music. Again, this is not the worst 
problem but I'd like to help improve it any way I can (I'm not a coder, 
but am very willing to test).


http://www.tntpowerhost.com/mixx941/FreeBSD_sound_crackling.ogg

So in short, when playing audio and reading files from hard drives, the 
sound has crackling noises in it. It happens when extracting archives 
and copying files from drive to drive with my additional drives, but 
reading and extracting from/to ad0 (the FreeBSD install drive) always 
seems to work with no crackling. It's just the additional ones now that 
seem to have problems when reading/copying/md5ing from them.


Is this some weird hardware problem on my end? Has anyone else seen or 
experienced this? What can I try to help narrow down the problem if it's 
not a known one?


Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Try to increase pcm buffersize either using kenv(1) or
/boot/device.hints.

# Start from 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536
# kenv hint.pcm.0.buffersize=8192

or to make it permanent, put that into /boot/device.hints

Reload your sound driver.

Charactersets and encoding: switching from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8

2006-03-16 Thread Erik Norgaard

Hi:

I have just installed a virgin system, FBSD 6.1-BETA3 and upgraded to 
the head of RELENG_6. Since it is virgin, I thought this may be the time 
to make the switch to UTF-8.


Googling, it appears that UTF-8 was introduced in the base in 2004, but 
  I find no keymaps for UTF-8 console, no fonts, no console definition 
in /etc/termcap.


Is FreeBSD ready for UTF-8?

Secondly, if I successfully switch, how do I best convert files to 
UTF-8? One think is text files, I assume this should be simple, but then 
there are all the other files such as music and images with text embedded.


I have understood that UTF-8 is compatible with ASCII but not with the 
ISO character sets used in Europe.


Thanks, Erik

Slow floppy operation

2006-03-16 Thread Maxim Vetrov

Hi,

I've not used floppy in my notebook for a while, then when I did, I 
found that it worked very slowly :-)

Here is the stats:

 dd if=boot.flp of=/dev/fd0
2880+0 records in
2880+0 records out
1474560 bytes transferred in 607.571848 secs (2427 bytes/sec)

Notebook is a Sharp Mebius PC-MJ730P, system is 6.0-RELEASE, compiled 
from sources. I don't know where to dig.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Do you use MySQL?

2006-03-16 Thread Greg 'groggy' Lehey
If you use MySQL on FreeBSD, you have many choices, probably too many:
which version of FreeBSD?  Which version of MySQL?  Which threading
libraries?  Where do you get the MySQL software from?  How do you
install it?  In all likelihood you'd be happier with less choice: just
the right one.

At MySQL, we're talking about how to simplify this mess^Wsituation.
Obviously with my MySQL hat on, I'd recommend release 5.0; with my
FreeBSD hat on, I'd recommend 6.1-RELEASE when it comes out next week.
But that doesn't mean that you have to agree with me, and there are a
number of other questions anyway.  I'd like some feedback from users
on the following questions:

- Which version of FreeBSD are you running?

- Which version of MySQL are you running?

- If you're not running MySQL 5.0, why not?

- Where do you get your MySQL software from?

  * From the MySQL web site?
  * From a FreeBSD CD/DVD distribution?
  * Package (precompiled) from the FreeBSD web site (either directly
or via a mirror)?
  * From the ports collection?

- Which threading library are you using?  Why?

- Have you had to change the default installation (different compile
  flags, different installation directories, etc.)?

- Do you have any problems that you think are related to the choice of
  the version you're using?

Normally I send messages to this forum with the following request:

  When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
  If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original
  recipients.

In this case, I'm expecting many answers.  Clearly, individual answers
are not as interesting as the statistics.  Feel free to answer
directly to me, or to copy the list, as you prefer.  I'll summarize
after a while.

This message is *not* soliciting information about general problems
you might have with MySQL.  I'll certainly listen if you have this
kind of problem, but please make it a separate message to this list.

I wonder if you should google more on UTF-8 and its
support in operating systems.

For one thing, you won't get a unicode console, not on
your traditional x86 hardware.

It's easy to get UTF-8 support in X, though. Just set LANG,
LC_ALL and some other variables (the more the better) to
en_US.UTF-8 or whatever unicode locale you want. You'll
have to recompile some ports with UTF8 support. Check
their makefiles for that.

Good luck!

Is it a science project or fairly simple?
 


Trivial.  From memory but it should work:

Install healthd: portupgrade -iNR sysutils/healthd  (or just; cd 
/usr/ports/sysutils/healthd; make install clean)

If (t)csh: rehash
Check temps etc: healthd -c 1
First temp should be motherboard, second cpu (third is the 2nd CPU which 
you won't have an can ignore).  The temps I get do agree with the BIOS.



I re-examined my heatsink and decided to redo the paste.  I don't
expect
immediate results but I booted up and I see the temperature rise
steadily
from 30 to 43 in under a minute.

That seems hot to me, but I believe it's well within the tolerance for 
the processor.  AMD website would have that info.  Maybe a google would 
reveal the kinds of temps people get for your specific processor.  
Mine's a 3700 with 120mm heatsink and arctic silver, so I don't think it 
could get much cooler.  Even under load like buildworld, temp only rises 
a few degrees, which amazed me.



 If you haven't done a BIOS update, that might help your
power-up issues.
   



I have the latest BIOS installed.
 

I actually don't have the latest BIOS but 1001, and power-up after 
power-fail appeared to work for me on a quick test last night.  I don't 
have a UPS so all tests done by pulling the power lead and waiting a minute.


BIOS: APM on,  the relevant setting to Last State and Power On.  I 
shutdown -p, pulled the power lead.  Waited and then plugged back in.  
If set to Power On, machine came back on; if set to Last State, staid 
off.  Then tried pulling power lead while BIOS was doing it's stuff.  
Power On, came back on and Last State also came back on.


Maybe you need to check BIOS behaviour just using the power lead and not 
the UPS.  *Maybe* it's the UPS somehow causing your problems, though I'm 
not sure how.

Sorry, at this point I have no clue what's going on.  Assuming 
everything really is OK with the base system, then this looks like a bug.


Clutching at straws, here are some things I might try:

1) which dump - just to be absolutely sure

2) Remake dump from /usr/src.

3) Make sure base system is OK.  Cvsup, buildworld, buildkernel etc.  
This would bring you up to -p12 and require reboot.  If behaviour still 
the same, file a PR.


4) Depending on your C prowess, instrument dump with some debugging info 
- at the point where it decides to back up a file, print out the 
relevant variables (the dates on the file and the date that it is being 
compared against).  This will generate a lot of output but you can just 
hit ^C after a few seconds of printing.  I don't think gdb would be an 
option as dump forks to


5) Do a level 0 of / home.  Check that the restore actually works by 
actually restoring at least some of it, not just using ls.  Then newfs 
/home  being very careful and then restore it! (Being paranoid, I would 
make more than one dump, including one to tape, and would restore one of 
the backups to some spare disk).

I am not sure why it is doing that.  Please, do not take offense but 
have you checked

to make sure you did not make any typographical mistakes.
Another point to consider is that /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla is probably not 
the actual mozilla
binary but rather a shell script to start the browser.  Maybe you can 
find out what the actual
binary is called.  It is probably similar to mozilla-bin, moz-bin, etc.  
Actually it will be mentioned

in the script but beware though that calling it directly may not work.
Yes, that's a script. And a strange bug was actually in it. I've 
commented out some checks in it and now it works fine. So, thanks a lot 
for help.


(Aside:  I thought the mozilla-suite built in email program was 
essentially thunderbird?
I hope I was correct when I assumed you were using mozilla and not 
firefox?)


No, Mozilla Suit's mail programm is named 'mozilla-mail'. It's heir by 
some shared code is Thunderbird (that's already explained yesterday). 
Thunderbird's feature of RSS-reading is the most necessary feature that 
caused me to use it (mozilla-mail can't read RSS-feeds). But as I 
understand, Thunderbird is mostly compat-ed to Firefox and some kind of 
moved away from Mozilla Suite project. That's why we have to do tricks 
to make these same-family projects do well together now.

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.

2006-03-16 Thread Lila

Hi,
I'm using win2k an freebsd 6.0 on my laptop too, and I've been 
reinstalling freebsd pretty often (I'm still tring my way to have it 
working, so I started with 5.4 and than moved to 4.11 and 6.0) without 
ever changing my win partition.
As you say, I'm always prompted about incorrect geometry, I hit ok and 
go on, than fdisk show me something like the one you got, with ad0s1 as 
my win (NTFS) partition and ad0s2 as my freebsd partition. All I do at 
this rate is to set my ad0s1 to be my active partition (I boot both from 
the win 2000 booter) than I go ahead leaving the MBR as is and install 
freebsd in freebsd partition. Unfortunately I've never been able to keep 
the /usr label as is (I always delete them all and start from a auto 
layout), and I can't help you if you're willing to keep their data safe.

I got this article as model when I first did it:
http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2004/10/dual-boot-freebsd-5.html
My windows partition was out of order only once, when I forgot to set it 
bootable, but this is because I actually boot both OS from it: I went 
back to fdisk, fixed it and got my windows working with no problem.
I can't tell you to go ahed with no backup... but I can say your win 
partition is pretty safe with freebsd fdisk.

Regards
Lila

Xorg XFree86 compatibility issues.

2006-03-16 Thread Malcolm Kay
My primary activity at home is on a machine alpha running FBSD 
5.4 and Xorg version of X. But I have a couple of other machines 
running older systems FBSD 4.9, beta and RedHat linux, linux 
both running XFree86.

I can ssh into both these from alpha and run a number ofcommon 
X processes without apparent difficulty. EG:
alpha:200 ssh -X -f beta xterm
,
alpha:201 -X -f linux xterm
or
alpha:202 -X -f beta xv

But others fall over. EG:
alpha:203 ssh -X -f beta xfig
alpha:204 X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to 
access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  102 (X_ChangeKeyboardControl)
  Serial number of failed request:  303
  Current serial number in output stream:  304

or 
alpha:205 ssh -X -f beta nedit
alpha:206 X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom 
parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x6a
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  20

The same error message is reported when calling nedit on linux
alpha:207 ssh -X -f linux nedit
alpha:208 X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom 
parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x6a
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  20

Is this incompatibility between Xorg terminal and XFree86 clients 
to be expected or am I missing something? More importantly is 
there a way around it?

Is it feasible to install both Xorg and XFree86 on the one system
and choose the appropriate one at a given time?

Any help or information appreciated.

For the most part, I just use mysql for testing or for a backend to something

Ports.

Native pthreads.  It's the default choice and works fine for what I do.

The right choice really depends on your needs. If you just need a
MySQL server installation, you can do it all without hassle. Install
whatever FreeBSD version you prefer, and then install whatever MySQL
version you want from the ports tree. It's not complicated. It's a
no-brainer.

 At MySQL, we're talking about how to simplify this mess^Wsituation.
 Obviously with my MySQL hat on, I'd recommend release 5.0; with my
 FreeBSD hat on, I'd recommend 6.1-RELEASE when it comes out next week.
 But that doesn't mean that you have to agree with me, and there are a
 number of other questions anyway.  I'd like some feedback from users
 on the following questions:

 - Which version of FreeBSD are you running?
Latest RELEASE (6.0)

5.0.18 - The latest stable release in the ports tree

A mixture of 4.1 and 5.0, new installs get 5.0.

Yes (also rolling my own packages from them, when needed).

libthr on 6.0. Some minor performance improvements over libpthread, but
combined with some tweaks in my-huge.cnf copied over to /etc/my.cnf,
this can be quite a difference from a default install.

In my opinion something gets damaged at filesystem level after an

By energy block I assume you mean a power cut?  It's certainly 
suspicious but without actually understanding what is causing the 
problem, hard to be sure if there is a relation.  I'm struggling to 
understand how ls can show a date in 2003 for a file, while dump 
thinks that the inode has changed since your level 0 a few days ago.  
I'm no expert on the filesystem, but that's just weird.  I don't see how 
a power cut could have done that or what problem fsck could fix




It could be important to do debugging for this problem, but it's a

Thanks a lot for your support.

One more thought off the top of my head.  What does ls -lsak /home/.snap 
show?  I know there can be issues with snapshots in the 5 series and 
having more than one snapshot can be a bad idea.  I don't think that's 
it because your dump -S without -L showed pretty much the same as with 
-L, but just in case.  If you do find any snapshots (I believe dump 
would leave one called dump_snapshot or .dump_snapshot or something 
obvious if it gets interrupted (by a power failure, for example) then 
you can delete with rm.  I don't hold out much hope but it's easier than 
a dump/restore).


If no-one else replies here with bright ideas, you could also try 
posting to maybe freebsd-hackers or freebsd-fs;

Why should we use 5.0? We use MySQL in a production environment. We 
cannot spend time troubleshooting issues. When a new version has a 
capability we cannot live without we test, test, test, test it first, 
then spend much time reading forums to see what problems others have 
been having. We have run crippled software before because WE found the 
bug and had to wait for a fix. No fun delaying a production application.


When the opportunity presents itself we install and test new software or 
new versions to help the developers move forward (we tested and ran Ruby 
On Rails for three months, now working with it to see if it has a place 
in our development environment). But we cannot do that all the time.


Also we have many older pieces of hardware that cannot run a newer 
version because the older hardware cannot support the newer OS, which in 
turn is required to run the newest MySQL. The new MySQL, if not 
compatible with the old MySQL, does me no good.


Example, we have many old Sparc boxes, still going strong, running 
Solaris 2.5 and MySQL 3.23. If I use MySQL 5.0 I can no longer use 
replication. So an upgrade to MySQL 5.0 means new hardware. It's a hard 
sell upstairs unless the new combination offers substantial improvement. 
(Yes the Sparcs are old, but they run, and they run, and they run. 
Sometimes we forget to check on them they are so reliable, I wish my new 
hardware was as good).


We are looking at a package to upgrade the older Sparcs to 4.0.2, but 
If it ain't broke.

 Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It does not astonish me that you get 5 MB/s on a RAID-5 config, although if you
used SCSI and/or a real HW RAID-5 controller with significant cache (ie, 64+ MB)
that would help the performance by quite a bit.

Use RAID-5 for read-only or read-mostly situations and you'll be better off; use
RAID-10 for write-heavy filesystems instead.

I should rephrase that, it sounds like I am complaining which I am not. 
 We use a lot of replication to push management changes from tech 
support down to Radius, DNS, FTP servers running MySQL. If we install 
MySQL 5.0 on my new servers, we cannot use replication to my MySQL 3.23 
servers, many of which are the old Sparcs.


Of course any replacement for the old servers will use a newer version 
of MySQL, and eventually we will get all our servers running version 
4.X. But by then you will be asking if anyone is running MySQL 7, and if 
not, why not.


Also, keep in mind, if MySQL runs for months on end as a Radius backend, 
or DNS, or FTP. If we never have to do anything because a script 
optimizes the tables once a week and the logs rotate out based on size, 
and it never ever ever ever lets us down. Why would we want to upgrade?


My pager has never beeped because of MySQL.

System Still Freezing

2006-03-16 Thread Grant Peel

Hi all,

Another chapter in the life (and death), of my Dell PE 1850.

As you may be aware, I have a PE 1850 that has started to intermitantly 
freeze (this all started Feb 23rd). SOmetimes, it will run for 2 days, then 
freeze, sometimes it can run as long as 5 days.


All logs and everything turned up to near debug, show nothing. The system 
just stops dead, and again, a physical suyvey of the server reveals nothing. 
All lights still working and blinking, no excessive heat not beeps etc etc.


A week ago, I ran every 32 bit Dell diagnostic I could on it ... for 4 hours 
straight and not 1 error found. I also ran memetst86 for 3 hours and no 
errors found.


Here are some particulars:

FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Dell PowerEdge 1850
-Intel 3.0 GHz Duel Core.
-512 MB DDR RAn
-74 GB SCSI Seagate Cheetah 10k.
- 2 Onboard Intel Pro1000 (1 GB) NICS (Both connected to my switch, 1 LAN 
and 1 WAN.).

- 1 Built in (Dedicated Riser) DRAC 4/I card.
- NO RAID, No Extra VIdeo or sound. No keyboard plugged in, no monitor.

SHould I consider diableing APIC and Hyperthreading? Does anything know if 
these two would be causing all the issues I have in the kernel?


I have been reading alot about interupt storms lately. How can I tell if 
this is whats happeneing here?


Thanks again all,

Maybe your power supply is going bad and delivering marginal voltages?
Do you have it in a redundant config, or could you try adding a second PSU?

 A week ago, I ran every 32 bit Dell diagnostic I could on it ... for 4

That's interesting but not really conclusive.  If it's taking 2-5 days for
FreeBSD to die, you're probably going to have to run memtest or prime95 at least
overnight (12+ hours, and it would be better to run them for longer) to really
catch anything.

  No.

 However you can sup the ports tree for a specific release.  I run ports
 using tag=RELEASE_6_0_0.  The reason I do this is that I find it to be
 much less work.

 I am a much more conservative user than many.  I really hate chasing
 down down upgrade dependencies even with the the very nice ports tools
 we have today.

 If you really wanted a particular port to be updgraded, you can fetch
 just that one port and build it.  This would give you a manually
 controlled psuedo-stable.  It would be more work though.

I don't have an answer for you, but I had a very similar problem. It's 
why I'm running FreeBSD now. I had RedHat 9 installed on a Dell 2650 
running Apache 2, Postfix, Postgresql, Bind ... My system has a DRAC, 
raid, and a single processor. Actually I have 2 identical servers. One 
server is only for backup and lightly used and it never had a problem.


The symptoms on my primary server were exactly the same. Sometimes it 
would seize up twice in one week. Sometimes it would run for weeks. 
The weird thing was that it would respond to pings. However no system 
services responded and the console was totally unresponsive.


In frustration after not being able to figure out what was causing the 
problem, I decided to try FreeBSD 6 Stable. End of problem. I never 
figured out if it was the operating system, or an application or what.


If you're desperate, you might want to try the opposite: load Linux. 
If you're looking for something that feels familiar to a FreeBSD'er, 
try Gentoo.

From ports collection.

The default one, beacuse it works fine. Again, if there were a better

RE: System Still Freezing

2006-03-16 Thread fbsd_user
System freezes are all most always (94% of the time) hardware
problems.
Power supply overheating, power supply voltage output falling to
low,
dust on motherboard causing overheating, or first signs of hard
drive failure.
Running mfg diagnostic will not identify these types of problems
until
they become close to total failure.

If you want to eliminate 6.0 as cause install 4.11.
That's before all the current major changes were applied.

But my money is on hardware starting to fail.

If I was you, I would make an backup to different hard drive of any
data I did not want to lose.

The warning signs are staring you straight in the face.

I had this happen to me and was so frustrated over it. Once I
replaced the
hard drive FreeBSD was installed on the freeze ups stopped. I still
am using
that HD in the same box for backup storage with out any problems
since. Go figure.

Subject: System Still Freezing


Hi all,

Another chapter in the life (and death), of my Dell PE 1850.

As you may be aware, I have a PE 1850 that has started to
intermitantly
freeze (this all started Feb 23rd). SOmetimes, it will run for 2
days, then
freeze, sometimes it can run as long as 5 days.

All logs and everything turned up to near debug, show nothing. The
system
just stops dead, and again, a physical suyvey of the server reveals
nothing.
All lights still working and blinking, no excessive heat not beeps
etc etc.

A week ago, I ran every 32 bit Dell diagnostic I could on it ... for
4 hours
straight and not 1 error found. I also ran memetst86 for 3 hours and
no
errors found.

Here are some particulars:

FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Dell PowerEdge 1850
-Intel 3.0 GHz Duel Core.
-512 MB DDR RAn
-74 GB SCSI Seagate Cheetah 10k.
- 2 Onboard Intel Pro1000 (1 GB) NICS (Both connected to my switch,
1 LAN
and 1 WAN.).
- 1 Built in (Dedicated Riser) DRAC 4/I card.
- NO RAID, No Extra VIdeo or sound. No keyboard plugged in, no
monitor.

SHould I consider diableing APIC and Hyperthreading? Does anything
know if
these two would be causing all the issues I have in the kernel?

I have been reading alot about interupt storms lately. How can I
tell if
this is whats happeneing here?

Thanks again all,

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.

2006-03-16 Thread John Murphy
Thanks Lila, your success encouraged me to try and you were quite right
that your win partition is pretty safe with freebsd fdisk.

Unfortunately the install failed saying:

Write failure on transfer! (wrote 77187 bytes of 1425408 bytes)

And loads of errors like the following were shown on the Alt F2 screen:

/stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error
/stand/cpio: warning: skipped 723757 bytes of junk
/stand/cpio: : No such file or directory
/stand/cpio: invalid header: checksum error
/stand/cpio: warning: skipped 4096 bytes of junk
/stand/cpio: : No such file or directory
[...]
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG HARDWARE ERROR asc=0x08 ascq=0x03 error=0

I tried leaving the partitions (within the ad0s2 slice) as they were
first.  Then I tried 'Auto defaults for all' and lastly some partition
sizes of my own.  I even tried installing 5.3 which only managed to
write -1 bytes.  Which is odd because it must have worked before.

Presumably I would need to change the drive geometry in fdisk to the
figures which the BIOS indicates.  Any one know the implications of
doing so for the non bsd slices?

Thanks again.

RE: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.

2006-03-16 Thread fbsd_user

Write failure on transfer! (wrote 77187 bytes of 1425408 bytes)

When I got this error message during install it mean the hard drive
had a bad spot on it.
This had nothing to do with the hd geometry used.  Bet your hd is
udma 33. Think this is a bug in fbsd since 4.11 where this problem
did not occur. I think since 5.x the udma 33 ata driver does not
handle the bad track pointer to the reassigned track. Or all the hd
alt tracks have been used up all ready.

What I did was to allocate an very small unused partition that
included that area and then allocated the remainder of the hd to the
slice I installed fbsd in.

My suggestion is this is first sign your hd is going bad, replace
now, and backup your data to other hd.

good luck.

RE: VPN Server

2006-03-16 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

John and Hal,

  The company I work for has a customer that setup 4-5 sites
on a vpn network with these.  The 16 port unit is garbage, it
uses different firmware than the lower port count units and
it locks up all the time.

  I have had personal experience both with the Netgear VPN
devices and the Cisco PIXes.  The PIX are vastly superior.
The Netgears have issues with doing a lot of things at the
same time, and with high bandwidth.

  The truth is that the commercial products that play in this
space are either very good, like the Cisco VPN 3000 but cost
immense amounts of money because they are targeted at large
enterprises, or they are really crappy because they are targeted
at the very very very small offices that don't even have a
server, and the companies that make them know that the small
companies won't buy a network device that costs much over $300.
And most of the smaller VPN hardware boxes I've seen only support
peer-to-peer mode IPSec not client-server mode, despite their
marketing literature.

  Most moderate sized organizations use Windows 2003 with
dual NICs in them as VPN servers.  As a result there's no market
for a stable VPN server hardware box that's targeted at the 25-250
person organization.  This is one area where building a VPN
server on FreeBSD is definitely worth doing.

But if you need more I'd go with the 4 ports and get a gigabit switch to
add on to it. It'll be a little more expensive, but it will be worth it,
knowing that if something happens to a machine the VPN won't suffer as a

That really doesn't sound good to me, but I don't really have enough 
experience of system building to do more than guess at the cause.  I 
would strongly suspect the heatsink/processor bond but couldn't be 
sure.  I have no idea if the actually monitoring chip could be faulty, 
for example, or if it could be a BIOS problem (problems related to bad 
temperature readings certainly *can* exist but fluctuating temps is a 
bit different).  If no-one here can help, maybe try an overclockers 
forum - just because there tends to be a lot of system building 
experience there.  Maybe ASUS support would help (but I wouldn't hold my 
breath).


As I said, I went for arctic silver with my heatsink, but I got to apply 
it to clean components and it gets a bit harder if you have to clean the 
thermal paste off.  They do a cleaner as well and had pretty good 
instructions on their website when I last looked.

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.

2006-03-16 Thread John Murphy
fbsd_user [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Write failure on transfer! (wrote 77187 bytes of 1425408 bytes)

When I got this error message during install it mean the hard drive
had a bad spot on it.
This had nothing to do with the hd geometry used.  Bet your hd is
udma 33. Think this is a bug in fbsd since 4.11 where this problem
did not occur. I think since 5.x the udma 33 ata driver does not
handle the bad track pointer to the reassigned track. Or all the hd
alt tracks have been used up all ready.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm fairly sure the hd is ok and it's
udma66 at least.  Actually I've had some success just now.  There
was that error message in the Alt F2 screen output saying:

acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG HARDWARE ERROR asc=0x08 ascq=0x03 error=0

I didn't think it was particularly important as the Alt F1 screen
was saying write failure, but I decided to try an (minimal) FTP
install and it actually completed with absolutely no write errors!
It doesn't boot, probably due to a warning I ignored that it was
using the existing /dev (as the partition existed).

I'll try it again after tea and insist on a new set of partitions,
which I believe will cure that problem.

I'm so happy to be getting there! Many thanks to all for the help.

What I did was to allocate an very small unused partition that
included that area and then allocated the remainder of the hd to the
slice I installed fbsd in.

Hah! I've done that with a 40G laptop drive I was given, which had
loads of bad sectors.  But there's a good 35GB on it running 6.0 :)

Interaction between mpd and ipfilter/ipnat

2006-03-16 Thread Jim Hatfield

I have a FreeBSD firewall which does packet filtering and NAT.
The internal address range is 172.16.64.0/24. The only filtering
is incoming on the external NIC, fxp0.

The machine also runs mpd for remote access.

By pure chance I was tailing ipf.log when I connected an XP laptop
to the mpd service, and immediately I saw these:


Mar 16 16:57:41 inchgower ipmon[61]: 16:57:40.923619 fxp0 @0:2 b 172.16.64.168,137 
- 172.16.64.200,137 PR udp len 20 96 IN
Mar 16 16:57:42 inchgower ipmon[61]: 16:57:42.425811 fxp0 @0:2 b 172.16.64.168,137 
- 172.16.64.200,137 PR udp len 20 96 IN


172.16.64.168 is the address given out by mpd to the laptop.
172.16.64.200 is the Active Directory Domain Controller.

I'm confused as to why ipf is seeing these packets coming in on fxp0.
Surely what comes in is the GRE packet to the external NIC's address,
this is then decapsulated and the embedded packet routed on. Why does
ipf even see it, let alone block it? I would expect the source interface
to be ng0, not fxp0.

From the laptop I can ping and connect to internal machines, so most
packets are not being blocked in this way.

tcpdump also sees the packets coming in on fxp0, but I'm not convinced
they are. I guess I can only really tell if I get the switch to copy
packets to another port and monitor from there.

System does not power off

2006-03-16 Thread Andrea Venturoli

Hello.

After I changed the motherboard, at shutdown my box does not power off 
any more, but waits until I press the power button.
This happens also on other systems of mine, but here it is most easily 
debuggable. Where do I start?


Guess this is the relevant part of dmesg, but on the other systems I 
cited I have 5.4.

I looked into the BIOS of my other system with different m/b and

Low perf of i386 6.0 on dell poweredge 1850 bi-Xeon 2.8ghzDualCore

2006-03-16 Thread Eric

Still me ;=)

I do new test and have this information to add :

Freebsd 6.0 with bi-xeon dual core and smp kernel is two time more slower 
than Freebsd 4.11 with simple bi-xeon

If I configure freebsd 6.0 kernel without smp it's 1.5 faster than with.

Here is a resume :

The test is simple mysql multi-query php script.

With freebsd 4.11 on bi-xeon it took 31 
sec

With freebsd 6.0 on bi-xeon dual core without smp it took 48 sec
With freebsd 6.0 on bi-xeon dual core smp it took 62 sec.

Any idea of what's go wrong or way to have expected result?

Thanks,

Eric.

RE: Constant ssh errors - sign of security issue?

Subject: Constant ssh errors - sign of security issue?


I run two FreeBSD 4.10 systems and access them via ssh2 from a
Windows
XP machine running Cygwin ssh, connecting via EVDO link.  I get a
whole lot of three things:

1.  Spontaneous read from remote host ... terminated; connection
reset by peer.  Mind, this is normal on an actual connection
failure
(timeout), but this one can happen while I'm actively typing
something
through the connection, and with no other evidence that my Internet
connection (at either end) is failing..

2.  On reconnect attempt, a message saying the connection was
immediately closed by the remote (FreeBSD) side.

3.  Less often and frequently on my next connection attempt after
#2,
a software connection abort message.

The normal sequences are (4 being successful relink) 1-4, 1-2-4, and
1-2-3-4.  I think 1-2-4 and 1-4 are about equally common and 1-2-3-4
is comparatively rare.

Being unfamiliar with how all of these can happen while my actual
Internet connection (and other TCP connections for example) seems
fine, I am wondering if any of this could represent a security
issue--packet snooping/redirection/man-in-the-middle attacks, etc.

Thanks in advance for any input.  Please Cc me.

It does not astonish me that you get 5 MB/s on a RAID-5 config, although if
you used SCSI and/or a real HW RAID-5 controller with significant cache (ie,
64+ MB) that would help the performance by quite a bit.

Use RAID-5 for read-only or read-mostly situations and you'll be better off;
use RAID-10 for write-heavy filesystems instead.

Unable to get SIIG PCI serial card to work

Also, /usr/src/sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c implies this card is supported.

First, I added _device puc_ to my kernel config file and built and
installed the new kernel.

When that didn't work, I added _puc_load=YES_ to /boot/loader and now
the card shows up as puc0, but no sioX.  sio0 is used by the onboard
serial port and is being used with an APC SmartUPS 700.

According to sio(4) man page, for single port PCI and PCCARDs use device
sio and that no lines are required in /boot/device.hints.

Where am I going wrong?

I've added the output of pciconf -lv  dmesg, /boot/device.hints and my
kernel config

I would have thought I would at least see the raw single drive throughput,
plus maybe a bit more. I've benched these drives independantly at 20+
MB/second... Is the 3ware card really slowing things down that much with the
RAID-5 overhead?

What real HW RAID-5 controller would you suggest? I'd like to stick with
IDE/ATA since I have a bunch of drives already.

Am I maybe CPU bound, or have another issue?

Re: Raidtest/3Ware 6000 Throughput

2006-03-16 Thread Chuck Swiger
Don O'Neil wrote:
 I would have thought I would at least see the raw single drive throughput,
 plus maybe a bit more.

When choosing RAID levels, you are making a tradeoff between performance,
reliability, and cost.  Choosing RAID-5 means you value performance the least of
the three:

If you prefer... ...consider using:
---
performance, reliability:RAID-1 mirroring
performance, cost:   RAID-0 striping
reliability, performance:RAID-1 mirroring (+ hot spare, if possible)
reliability, cost:   RAID-5 (+ hot spare)
cost, reliability:   RAID-5
cost, performance:   RAID-0 striping

If you've got enough drives, using RAID-10 or RAID-50 will also improve
performance compared to stock RAID-1 or RAID-5 modes.

 I've benched these drives independantly at 20+
 MB/second... Is the 3ware card really slowing things down that much with the
 RAID-5 overhead?

Yes.  It will be less noticeable with big transactions, and more noticeable with
lots of tiny ones.

 What real HW RAID-5 controller would you suggest? I'd like to stick with
 IDE/ATA since I have a bunch of drives already.

Maybe the 3ware 9500S -4 or -8...?

 Am I maybe CPU bound, or have another issue? 

You're probably I/O bound, not CPU bound.

True enough.

It would probably help a lot if the list owner installed the spamassassin
plugin in their Mailman.  We're using this on several technical mailing
lists we host, and it has done a great job of limiting the quantity of spam
that makes it through to the lists.

Just kidding.  I'm pretty sure that some spam filtering is/has
been done in the past.  IIRC, it's one reason that the FBSD
MX's run (ran?) Postfix. I imagine that the filters are still in
place ... these lists have such a long history on the 'Net, and
are very public (with archives all over), so spam bots could
hardly avoid grabbing the list addresses .

So, either the spam is smarter, or something's regressed.
And, actually, most of what I'm seeing is English, and from
a similar source.  So, the other possibility, besides random spam,
is that ... well, I'll let you guess, but it also happens occasionally.

Most likely it will be temporary; I'd be fairly confident that
somebody with control of said server is or will soon be aware
of the issue and is doing or will soon do something about it.

raid 1 with gmirror install loader on 2nd disk

2006-03-16 Thread Petre Bandac
hallo

I have installed a raid 1 system with gmirror and I want to have both
hard disks able to boot from, just in case

what are the steps in order to make /dev/ad2 bootable ?

(I am trying to prevent the following situation: one of the hdd fails
and I must boot from the last remaining, so I guess it should be
bootable too)

Mirror of FreeBSD Ports

Hi there,

 

I would like to know if it would be possible to mirror the FreeBSD Ports on
a server in Australia, I would not require any rsync it would be set up

I am not sure why it is doing that.  Please, do not take offense but

Another point to consider is that /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla is probably 
not the actual mozilla

find out what the actual
binary is called.  It is probably similar to mozilla-bin, moz-bin,

in the script but beware though that calling it directly may not work.
Yes, that's a script. And a strange bug was actually in it. I've 
commented out some checks in it and now it works fine. So, thanks a 
lot for help.


(Aside:  I thought the mozilla-suite built in email program was 
essentially thunderbird?
I hope I was correct when I assumed you were using mozilla and not 
firefox?)


No, Mozilla Suit's mail programm is named 'mozilla-mail'. It's heir by 
some shared code is Thunderbird (that's already explained yesterday). 
Thunderbird's feature of RSS-reading is the most necessary feature 
that caused me to use it (mozilla-mail can't read RSS-feeds). But as I 
understand, Thunderbird is mostly compat-ed to Firefox and some kind 
of moved away from Mozilla Suite project. That's why we have to do 
tricks to make these same-family projects do well together now.

resolv.conf getting rewritten at system startup

2006-03-16 Thread Duane Whitty

Hi all,

I am running FBSD 6.0-RELEASE

I use  DHCP to configure my network interface.
At startup my resolv.conf is overwritten, setting my
nameserver to the address of the router running DHCP.

I tried commenting out almost all of the rc.d/resolv
startup script but to no avail.

I read the man page for dhcp-options and then proceeded to add
option domain-name-servers a.b.c.d
This was also of no help.

I then remembered something about FBSD 6 no longer using ISC dhcp client.

I am running BIND 9.3.1 with internal and external views of my namespace 
set-up so
it is imperative that I be able to tell hosts on the internal network 
which name server

to use.

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance,

Duane

P.S.

Is there a man page for the dhcp client FBSD 6 is using
(what is FBSD 6 using)?

You need to use supersede like this:

dhclient, also the new one updates /etc/resolv.conf with the information

dhclient editing /etc/dhclient.conf


see dhclient.conf(5) and dhcp-options(5)

Re: resolv.conf getting rewritten at system startup

 Hi all,
 
 I am running FBSD 6.0-RELEASE
 
 I use  DHCP to configure my network interface.
 At startup my resolv.conf is overwritten, setting my

 I tried commenting out almost all of the rc.d/resolv
 startup script but to no avail.
 
 I read the man page for dhcp-options and then proceeded to add
 option domain-name-servers a.b.c.d
 This was also of no help.
 
 I then remembered something about FBSD 6 no longer using ISC dhcp client.
 
 I am running BIND 9.3.1 with internal and external views of my namespace 
 set-up so
 it is imperative that I be able to tell hosts on the internal network 
 which name server
 to use.
 
 If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the help.

Read the manpage for dhclient.conf(5) and look at the 'supersede' or
'prepend' directives.

E.g. If you always want to use a nameserver with IP 12.34.56.78
you would put the line

supersede domain-name-servers 12.34.56.78;

in /etc/dhclient.conf


 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Duane
 
 P.S.
 
 Is there a man page for the dhcp client FBSD 6 is using
 (what is FBSD 6 using)?

'man dhclient' should work fine.
FBSD 6 uses the OpenBSD dhclient (which I believe derive from an older
version of the ISC one.)

2006-03-16 Thread Michael S
Hi.

I am relatively new to FreeBSD, have been running it since 5.1.
Nothing like what I experienced today had happened previously.
My machine crashed and I wasn't able to boot it back, the boot
processes wasn't able to find the kernel. I then booted with the 6.0
Release CD and went into the FIXIT mode.
I wasn't able to mount /dev/ad0s1a (I have an IDE drive), I then tried
fsck_ffs /dev/ad0s1 and the message was:
CAN'T READ BLCK 128
ioctl Inappropriate ioctl for device
fsck_ffs: /dev/ad0s1 can't read disk label.

That machine was 6.0 p-1 (patched once) with slightly modified kernel.

Is my data lost? Can anything be done still?
Any help would be appreciated.

Michael

Re: More Server Crash Saga

2006-03-16 Thread Derek Ragona

Grant,

That is a one unit rack mount server, which makes it prone to have heat 
problems, particularly under any load.  You might want to check the ambient 
heat and the internal heat sensors as well.


That server uses an intel chipset (and probably an intel motherboard) which 
should allow out-of-band monitoring.  You should see what you can use to 
monitor the system and see what the system is reporting prior to a lockup.


It may be time to just call dell and have them send a replacement MB or 
entire unit.

Re: Hi there

2006-03-16 Thread Huy Ton That
Excellent choice; I'm still learning myself but I'll tell you between the
documentation, the community and mailing lists, I'm quite amazed.

1- Is FreeBSD compatible with one tool for PHP call Zend Optimizer?

According to their website, it is compatible with FreeBSD 6.0 which is the
recent stable version.

2- Is it hard to configure the drivers?

I haven't had experience with this and have had no issues with my software,
perhaps you should check out www.freebsd.org ; supported hardware is listed
there.

3- Is it compatible with Pentium 4?

Yes.

4- For a Social Network Web with a lot of members what kind of computer
would be the ideal to use with FreeBSD and so the periphericals are
completly compatible with FreeBSD.

Do you mean for a server to an online website?

5- What kind of paquets does FreeBSD to use on a server?

I don't understand your question, please elaborate.

Hope some of the above helps.

Re: Sound Crackling When Reading From Hard Drives

2006-03-16 Thread Mark Kane

Ariff Abdullah wrote:

On Thu, 16 Mar 2006 02:43:36 -0600
Mark Kane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi everyone. I have been experiencing problems with sound crackling 
under certain situations of disk activity for the life of this

machine.  It has occurred with 5.4-RELEASE, 6.0-RELEASE, and three
different  versions of 6.1-PRERELEASE. It's not a huge problem but I
thought I'd  post about this situation in case there is a known fix,
and if not then  offer to help try any patches to get it resolved
assuming it's not my  hardware being odd.

First off, the relevant hardware is as follows (full dmesg
attached): Athlon64 3000+
GA-K8NS Pro Motherboard (nForce3)
1.5GB RAM
Sound Blaster Augidy 2 Platinum
6 PATA hard drives (varying sizes, see dmesg)
Promise ATA Card (PDC20269)

Originally I thought it was just when extracting archives like tar
or  rar which uses disk I/O and CPU power to extract them, but
tonight I was  just copying data between drives which I don't do
very much and the  problems occurred as well. So then I started
doing some tests of copying  an 800MB file back and forth between
hard drives while playing a music  file and documenting my results.
My results and the hard drives are at  the end of this message. I
didn't test every possible combination  because I realized that it
probably has to do with reading from drives  in general and not just
extracting archives.

I then did another test with md5 to test my reading from disk
theory.  When using a utility like `md5`, sound crackling occurred
when using  `md5` on files from the same source drives that had
problems copying  FROM in the below tests. In other words, copying a
file from ad12 to ad0  produced heavy crackling in the below copy
tests but copying the same  file from ad0 to ad12 did not. When
using `md5` on the file located on  ad12 it makes the bad crackling
noise, but once again it has no  crackling problems when md5ing the
same file located on ad0.

Three of the drives are on the motherboard's on-board controllers.
The  mobo has a total of four onboard IDE channels, so each hard
drive is  master on it's own dedicated channel and the DVD burner
has it's own  channel too. The remaining three hard drives are on a
Promise (PDC20269)  PCI ATA card. They all have brand new proper
cables and have no other  problems.

The same result happens with different music file types (ogg, wave,
mp3)  being played back from various drives. When rebuilding for
6.1-BETA4 I  tried the ULE scheduler instead of the 4BSD. ULE seems
to do better for  video playback which had some stuttering problems
before, but doesn't  change this sound crackling problem when
reading from hard drives.  However with ULE I did experience a few
seconds of freezing while trying  to get out of my screensaver (just
a black screen) as there was HD  activity in the background as well
as an earlier 5-10 second freeze  while playing video from one HD at
the same time another HD was decoding  some files, but that's
another topic.

I have no special options enabled in my kernel now except for the 
emu_10k1 driver and atapicam.


Here is a sample of the crackling when doing some of the below copy 
tests. A few seconds of the normal song is first, then I start the

copy  when the crackling kicks in...followed by a few seconds of
normal  playback again after it's done. It's harder to notice on the
second cut  but I tried a couple genres of music. Again, this is not
the worst  problem but I'd like to help improve it any way I can
(I'm not a coder,  but am very willing to test).

http://www.tntpowerhost.com/mixx941/FreeBSD_sound_crackling.ogg

So in short, when playing audio and reading files from hard drives,
the  sound has crackling noises in it. It happens when extracting
archives  and copying files from drive to drive with my additional
drives, but  reading and extracting from/to ad0 (the FreeBSD install
drive) always  seems to work with no crackling. It's just the
additional ones now that  seem to have problems when
reading/copying/md5ing from them.

Is this some weird hardware problem on my end? Has anyone else seen
or  experienced this? What can I try to help narrow down the problem
if it's  not a known one?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Try to increase pcm buffersize either using kenv(1) or
/boot/device.hints.

# Start from 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536
# kenv hint.pcm.0.buffersize=8192

or to make it permanent, put that into /boot/device.hints

Reload your sound driver.


Hi, thanks for your reply.

My sound is compiled into the kernel so I'm not sure how to reload the 
driver without rebooting. I did try the above suggestions though. When 
trying 32768 and 65536 the crackling in the audio got worse/louder than 
before when copying data.

Maybe you're experiencing resource contention caused by irq sharing.
Take a look at the output of vmstat -i. Try to move the soundcard
elsewhere (other pci slot). Another thing to consider is PCI Latency
Timer settings. If your BIOS has the option to toggle the value, try
to increase it. If not, use this:

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.

2006-03-16 Thread John Murphy
Mr J. Happy Chappy here, just noting a few observations:

Jerry McAllister's and Lila's suggestions were quite right that the
installer's fdisk would not affect the other partitions on the HD
if it's allowed to just do its thing.  Its interpretation of the
geometry was entirely useful.

Reinstalling (via FTP) and changing the partitions in the disklabel
editor prevented the warning about using existing /dev but didn't
make the fresh install boot.  Had to reconfigure the boot manager
(Ranish Partition Manager's smallest configuration) simply by saving
it.  I moved its 'active' partition from the FreeBSD slice to the
win2k one, but I don't think that was what did it.

As I had only done a minimal install, I tried installing the man
pages from the disk and DVD drive I had initially tried to install
from, and saw loads of similar read/write errors.  The drive works
flawlessly under windows and the disk is 'known good' as I have
used it previously on other hardware.  In fact; I was able to install
the man pages from the same disk in another drive on the same PC:

acd0: DVDR PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108/1.14 at ata1-master UDMA66
acd1: CDRW LITE-ON LTR-24103S/XB03 at ata1-slave UDMA33

Those drives are connected to the motherboard with a standard 40
conductor cable, not a proper 80 conductor one.  I'll replace that
soon and follow up to this message if it prevents the r/w errors.
I'm expecting that to be the most likely cause :)

Lastly (sorry for the verbosity), after the first successful run of
the newly installed 6.0 and the tweak of the boot manager, when I
ran the win2k installation it brought up an explorer window showing
the contents of the e: virtual drive (the last one on the first HD)
and a message box exclaiming that windows had finished installing
my new hardware and the system needed to be re-booted.  I did so
and all's well that ends well...  Xorg, nVidia drivers and KDE next.

Thanks for reading.
