Make installworld in single-user mode all the time?
Hi, I'd like to patch a production server, with about 10 jails, running FreeBSD 6.0 Release, in order to get FreeBSD 6.0-p6. Since this server is being hosted on a remote location, rebooting in single-user mode before doing the installworld requires me to move to the hosting center. Documentation mentions that a reboot in single-user mode is necessary. But on the opposite, /usr/src/UPDATING says: Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. Since this is no major release upgrade, does that mean I can do the installworld in multi-user mode? I have tested that on a smaller test server yesterday evening, I have even done the installworld in running jails, and it worked just fine. Was I lucky maybe? Does anyone have a definitive guide to update FreeBSD correctly? Here is what I did: -- 1) Cleaning cd /usr/obj chflags -R noschg * rm -rf 2) Buildworld Kernel cd /usr/src make buildworld (/usr/src/UPDATING mentions we should avoid the -j option) make kernel KERNCONF=MY_KERNEL_CONF 4) When doing a major release upgrade: reboot in single-user mode fsck -p mount -u / mount -a -t ufs swapon -a adjkerntz -i 6) Installworld cd /usr/src mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster 7) Update jail1 mergemaster -p -D /usr/jails/my_jail1 make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/jails/my_jail1 mergemaster -D /usr/jails/my_jail1 8) Update jail2 mergemaster -p -D /usr/jails/my_jail2 make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/jails/my_jail2 mergemaster -D /usr/jails/my_jail2 9) Reboot -- Regards, -- Philippe Lang, Ing.

System hangs displaying 'ata4 : DISCONNECT required'
Hi, I ran into a problem that I don't know how to diagnose. I got a FreeBSD 6.0 box using an Adaptec SATA (fake)RAID 1210SA. Two 250 GB Maxtor hard drives are connected to this card, as a RAID1 mirror, and the resulting filesystem is correctly mounted and NFS exported. When the traffic rises on those disks, especially when I copy a big file (around 700 MB or so) on the exported file system, the system hangs displaying ata4 : DISCONNECT required. ata4 is the first SATA controller on the Adaptec card. The card and the disks are brand new, and the motherboard is a Tyan Tiger LE (dual Pentium 3). Do you have any clue, or just maybe a way to analyse this problem ? Thanks in advance for any advices or clues.

They are different names for the same thing. Let me rephrase it. Is it not uneccesary to mention 6-STABLE, since RELENG_6 is the same thing, and the only string you'll ever use when doing the upgrade the advisory advice is in fact RELENG_6? If RELENG_6 had been mentioned in the quote above it would have been unnecessary to also mention 6-STABLE, but since RELENG_6 was not mentioned, it was not redundant to mention 6-STABLE. One could argue that RELENG_6 should be used *instead* of 6-STABLE, but that is another question. It seems redundant, as they are as you say just different names for the same thing, but RELENG_6 is the only one actually used when cvsup'ing?

So he swore off Samsung. So whom do you like / recommend? For any brand of disk you will always find *someone* who has had trouble. A single report by someone you don't know is statistically insignificant. 4 disks out of how many? How were they treated before they died? How quickly did they die? If you can find multiple reports like that, then maybe you're on to something. I have three Samsung disks (bargain bucket 160Gb SATA for Windows, and a 200Gb and 250Gb SATAII running at SATAI). I can say that they have been fine for me for 9 months (touch wood), but that's not worth much either :-) The sad fact is, that some proportion of hard disks pass quality control but still contrive to die. *Mostly*, a disk that going to die, does so quite quickly. Advice I have seen is that you burn the disk in (run benchmarks for 48 hours non-stop, say. Maybe even a week). And don't trust the disk for a month. If it's still going after that then it'll probably last for years as long as you don't let them overheat. If it dies, that's what the warranty is for! If there is a serious problem with a particular disk model, then google will find it for you. IBM discovered this to their cost when one of their Deskstar models turned out to be scrap disguised as a disk, and got a Class action lawsuit in return. Then they sold the Deskstar line to Hitachi :-) FWIW, my only Deskstar (pre-dating the dodgy model) is still going after 5+ years, and my only Hitachi (successor to Deskstar) is the same age as Samsungs, and fine too. If I were going to run RAID-1, I would pick two disks of the same size but different brands (Samsung and Hitachi 250Gb say). If you buy two disks of the same brand at the same time from the same supplier, it always seems to me that you increase the chance that a) they come from the same batch b) therefore if one has some production-line-related fault, the other is more likely to have the same fault. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Nowadays, there's only one truth: any hard disk is going to fail under load pretty soon. Apart from that, keeping disks cooler helps. Using disks from different manufacturers in redundant arrays helps. Keeping an eye on smart data helps. Seagate, Maxtor, WD, Samsung, Hitachi/IBM - all have their pros and cons.

That's two servers with the same error. My 4.X server did
just fine, as did my 5.4 servers. All my toasters run qmail,
so of eleven servers, these two are all I have left to do.
The Makefile looks fine, I'm missing something obvious here.
Google comes up empty handed.
I don't know if it will help or not, but following is the entire
/usr/src/lib/libsm/Makefile from:
The issue is make fails on the test at line 13 which is the test for
INET6. I can comment out the test and the next makefile fails for the
same reason, on other tests.
Your Makefile reads,
.if !defined(NO_INET6)
CFLAGS+=-DNETINET6
.endif
My Makefile reads,
.if ${MK_INET6_SUPPORT} != no
CFLAGS+=-DNETINET6
.endif
My 4.8 Makfile does not have the INET6 test.
I've never seen this before, kinda odd. Maybe it's because I updated
source, but I am only building sendmail. I had to update my source
because the supplied patch fails against FBSD 5.2.1. If I gotta build
world or something silly to fix this I'd just as soon start over with
5.4 or another MTA.
It just really seems like a simple make issue to me.

e-mail relaying without forwarding the entire message?
When one MTA attempts to deliver an e-mail message to another MTA, the conversation looks something like: - HELO somedomain.com - 250 Hello somedomain.com - MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 250 2.1.0 Sender ok - RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 250 2.1.5 Recipient ok - DATA - 354 Enter mail ... - 250 2.0.0 Message accepted for delivery My question involves redirecting the sending MTA to a different receiving MTA. Rather than the initial receiving MTA having to accept the entire message (all the DATA) and then forward it on to another MTA, the initial receiving MTA simply redirects the sending MTA to another MTA -- preferably the MTA that actually handles the e-mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The conversation that I envision would look something like: - MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 250 2.1.0 Sender ok - RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - XYZ X.W.V Go See someotherserver.otherdomain.com for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is such a redirection possible? Is it hard to configure? Have I just described relaying? It seems to me that such a redirect would be useful (by keeping bandwidth low on the primary MX for a domain) if an organization handles such a large volume of e-mail that it has an e-mail server farm, or if a geographically disparate organization has multiple e-mail servers all connected directly to the internet (well, probably each through a separate firewall).

Number of routing tables
Hello I would like to know if exists a sysctl to get the number of routing tables in the kernel. I don't want the list of the routing tables, I just want the number. The command 'netstat -rn|wc -l' could be a good candidate, but since I want to implement this command on a very busy router, I don't want it to go 100% CPU just to get a simple count. If it doesn't exist I will create something based on netstat's source.

I'm not trying to decide anything for you, but if I were to be in your situation, I would either switch to FreeBSD because there is a clear reason for me not to stay with Linux, or because there is a clear reason for me to prefer FreeBSD. In your case, however, it seems that neither is clear. Back on topic.

Backup Up On Unreliable Link
Hi there, No response so far on the rdiff-backup mail list. Does anybody have experience and/or recommendations and/or scripts that could help somebody who usning rdiff-backup up across an unreliable link? If rdiff-backup fails in the middle of a backup it regresses to the last backup that finished successfully. If you are running this across an unreliable link you could consistently have a partial backup. I would like to know if there are systems to solving this situation.

If it's farther than that, like in another building/city/etc. you can always setup a modem on the box's serial port and dial in to that.

Another alternative might be, to use the sendmail from the ports
collection.
Arrg! This should not be this difficult. Updating an entire server seems
like a bit of overkill for a Sendmail patch. Though it is an opportunity
to go back to 4.X.

I blogged about it here... http://www.averageadmins.com/blog/2006/03/21/what-not-to-do-with-a-video-ipod-and-freebsd/ ...and am anxious to know if anyone knows why my laptop failed the volume checks when mounting the partitions. It hosed my iPod up temporarily as well. If anyone is interested in reading that post and commenting I would greatly appreciate it. I now know not to boot my laptop up with the Video iPod connected!

How to start a script running at boot time?
Hi, I have a script I would like to launch at boot time, as a non-root user, to remain running in the background. What is the best way to accomplish this? I looked through the rc* stuff, and it looks like overkill for what I need, plus my scripting isn't that strong either. I know I can do something like: su - user -c script_to_run But I don't even know what's the best place to include that. Any suggestions, or examples? -Thanks, Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A sample script could be /etc/rc.d/sysctl, it contains a block sysctl_start() which is executed when you run # /etc/rc.d/sysctl start Using that as a sample you can insert you custom startup code.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk12 - gnome applications will not compile
I am trying to upgrade to gnucash 1.8.12 on Free BSD 6.0. It fails with a message saying that the gal libraries are not installed. The gal-0.24_1 package is already installed. In attempting to update it through the ports system, I consistently get compile failures with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk12 The same happened with guppi and gwrap. gtk12 is installed and up to date. I deinstalled and reinstalled, but it made no difference. I have reinstalled all the packages that had been removed and run pkgdb -F to reset the dependencies. Now: $ gnucash ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link: ERROR: file: libgw-gnc, message: Invalid shared object handle 0x28078d00 $ Before I break anything else, I thought I would write this list. How to I make this missing libgtk12 available again? And is there anything else required to get gnucash up and running again?

Why do you prefer this approach over the Ports Collection? well... lately i'm having trouble with ports that don't update on time and i have to 'fish' which mirrors are updated and which not. like for the new asterisk port for example... also for stuff that is 'really' important i usually build from src - apache, php, qmail etc. so i usually go to the src for mysql too. nothing against ports really, i like them... i guess i'm just used to build from src and besides i don't know how to pass options to ports while installing... like --prefix=/here/ --enable-this, --disable-that kinda options/flags... FWIW, there are differences between the version that we (MySQL) supply and the version that we (FreeBSD) supply, notably in the compiler options and installation paths. We're actively trying to ensure that both versions will be the same. If anybody on this list has suggestions which version is better, I'd be interested in hearing them.

RE: business of BSDmall
BSD mall is separate company. This questions list has nothing to do with it. Version 4.9 is very old. The current version is 6.0. That may be strong indicator that bsdmall is no longer current. You can download an .iso file and burn it to your own blank cd, and use that to install from. Instruction are in the handbook at www.freebsd.org. Instruction for getting the .iso file and burning the cd using ms/windows are in the install guide at www.a1poweruser.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of antonio zacca Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 9:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: business of BSDmall Hello I am a consummer from JP and have shopping a CD for FreeBSD4.9 on BSDmall where linked from this site.

Re: which controllers(devices) to disable in kernel?

I'm building a custom kernel and I was wondering which controllers(devices) I need for my new kernel to support my motherboard properly? Is there a way to see which devices my pc uses from the GENERIC kernel? Don't forget to read NOTES. Some devices are not intuitively obvious. You need SCSI to run a USB mass storage device even if you don't have a SCSI host adapter. dmesg like the other fellow said. There is one caveat. If you have some obscure hardware it may not show in dmesg output because it was never built into GENERIC. For this hardware you might look at the chips on the mainboard or in the hardware manual. You the take the chip's identifier (for lack of a better word) and grep the kernel config files to find the right driver. And oh yeah, you could use these docs: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-i386.html But that's less adventurous.
