Backup sollutions
Hi, I'm looking for a free (ports?) backup sollutions for FreeBSD servers. I would like to have something similare to IBM's Tivoli where you install a client on each server and administer the backup from another server with a web gui. Are there similare sollutions found for FreeBSD? Thanks!

Re: FreeBSD 6.0 compat with DL320 G4
It is fine as long as you buy a 64 bit pc-express intel ethernet card.

That is, replace ipf with pf or fix the program. This is in the category of doctor it hurts when I do this Root can rm -r / and once most of the system is gone, it will probably panic pretty soon. Root can unmount volumes and make the system panic as well. Neither operation is a failure of the operating system. For ipf to work, the program must be given pretty deep control of the OS. If the program uses that control to make the system crash, then who is at fault? The OS? I don't think so. You might also consider that most people use ipfw. One of the benefits of Open Source is that you can run what you want instead of running what the rest of the lemmings run. The downside of this is that if your doing that and it blows up on you, you have to fix it yourself. The developers are going to fix the things that the rest of the lemmings have problems with first, before working on off-the-beaten-trail stuff, simply because there's more lemmings than you.

I need something rock-solid, of course... I'm running -STABLE on a P4C800-E. I've never had a problem with the PDC20378. Recently, I added two drives on the ICH5R with no issues. A little benchmarking shows the ICH5R to be a little faster. Hi, I wasn't as lucky as Doug with my ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe board, both with the ICH5R and Promise RAID controller. 1) With the Promise controller, after simulating a disk problem (shutdown - disk disconnection - reboot - shutdown - disk reconnection - reboot), I wasn't able to rebuild the array at all, either with atacontrol rebuild ar0 or from the bios. I suspect a spare disk is necessary for a complete rebuild. 2) With the ICH5R controller, installation went fine too. If I disconnect a disk, the system still boots, but when I plug the disk back (computer shut down), no boot is possible anymore. At boot, a kernel panic says: softdep_setup_inomapdep. No array rebuild is possible from the bios, so I'm stuck. You need to take the disk you unplugged to some other machine and wipe it, then make sure the one disk with the system left on it is in the 0 position, put the wiped disk in the 1 position, then you should be able to boot. Your simulating a failure when you pull the one disk, but your not simulating a recovery when you insert that disk back in. Ted Hi, I'm sure there are solutions to make things work, but personnaly, I don't feel confortable with a RAID system that acts that way, and that is supposed to make the whole system more robust and problem-free. Your missing the point. If a disk crashes it wipes the metafile off the disk. If you want to simulate a disk crash, issue a raid detach command first, then pull the disk. The ata raid in the ata driver isn't written to handle the condition of a disk being pulled that has nothing wrong with it then reinserted. It is written to handle the condition of a disk crashing, then being pulled, then a new one replaced. I used to play with hardware SCSI RAID controllers, and was never able to trash the system. I have SCSI raid controllers too that I can do that with. But keep in mind that these controllers firmware is written to if a disk is pulled then replaced, it immediately assumes that the disk is toast, and rebuilds it from scratch. Arrays are being rebuilt in the background, that's just great. I hope this is the kind of ease and quality I will get with the 3WARE raid controller I have ordered... Apparently, everyone says very good things about 3WARE. The only problem we had with ours is that the very latest firmware did not work with the FreeBSD driver. This was about 3-4 months ago though so they might have fixed that problem. We always automatically update all cards we buy to the latest firmware before we install them for the first time, that is why we hit that problem.

Re: FreeBSD 6.0 compat with DL320 G4
You got 2 choices Out of the box the DL 320 G4 ships with a riser card that has 2 pci express slots. At least that is what they are supposed to be, we haven't tried them. HP sells a riser card that has a single 64 bit PCI 133 slot on it. You can buy that and replace the existing riser. If you only do the pci express then the adapter you want is the Intel Pro 1000 PT either the single port or the dual port, and make sure it is the server adapter not the desktop adapter (the models carry the same model number but different descriptions, which is infuriating) If you do the riser card replacement then you can use a Pro 1000 MT server adapter. If you buy the optional hot-swap module (which I don't think works under FreeBSD anyhow) then you have to buy the riser card with the pci 133 slot since that module is not pci express.

Re: problem creating filesystem snapshot
Jon Falconer wrote: Greetings, I needed to dump the partitions on a running FreeBSD 6.1R system so I could duplicate them on a test server. The server is a Dell 2850 with the PERC 4e/Di RAID controller with 5 x 73GB disk array. So I thought I would try using the snapshot feature. I used the mksnap_ffs to create a snapshot of a 20GB partition. The command completed in about 15 - 20 seconds. I was then able to run dump against the new snap file and all seemed ok. I then tried the same thing on a 225GB partition. The mksnap_ffs command took over 30 minutes to complete. But every access to that partition after that just hung. I wanted to see the size of the snap file so I typed ls -l /home/.snap (where I had told mksnap_ffs to put the snap file) and it hung. Same thing from several logins. I figured I would have to reset the box so I typed sync, and that hung. All the time, access to other partitions was just fine (/, /usr, /var). All partitions (except /) were created with soft update enables (default when installing.) The questions. Is there anything magic about the /xxx/.snap directory in each partition? When I created the snap file for the 20GB partition, I did not put it inside the /xxx/.snap directory, and it worked fine. Is there some partition size restrictions? You don't need to make snapshots yourself to dump the filesystems. Dump will do it for you: -L This option is to notify dump that it is dumping a live file sys- tem. To obtain a consistent dump image, dump takes a snapshot of the file system in the .snap directory in the root of the file system being dumped and then does a dump of the snapshot. The snapshot is removed when the dump is complete. This option is ignored for unmounted or read-only file systems. If the .snap directory does not exist in the root of the file system being dumped, a warning will be issued and the dump will revert to the standard behavior. This problem can be corrected by creating a .snap directory in the root of the file system to be dumped; its owner should be ``root'', its group should be ``operator'', and its mode should be ``0770''. There were problems reported with snapshots of large filesystems in earlier releases but I have no idea of the status of any fixes/changes or what constituted large. You could try sdearching the PRs from the FreeBSD web site. FWIW a 95Gb partition under 5.4 snapshots in ~30 seconds for me and there are no lockup issues to date. A 20Gb partition I would expect to take a handful of seconds. There were also issues about multiple snapshots of the same filesystem causing problems. Did you make multiple snapshots when you were testing and did you delete them when you had finished with them? I don't believe there is anything special about .snap directory - just a convention and it's where dump will make its snapshots. --Alex PS We use snapshots on the same hardware as you - 2850 PERC4e/Di but with RAID-1 rather than whatever you are running. I don't think any of that makes any difference though. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know from looking at the docs that these drive bays are hot-swappable, but I'd like to know before I attempt this that someone else out there has successfully performed a hot-swap or hot-install of drives on a 2850 or comparable Dell PowerEdge running FreeBSD. RAID-1 I assume and PERC 4e/Di. Yes, did it when testing fresh machines. The controller BIOS has a setting for how much resource to allocate to the recovery of the inserted drive (0?-100%); the lower you set it the slower it will recover the disk, but the higher you set it the slower the machine will go. I think we went for 70% as the machine never gets *that* heavy disk usage. If the machine isn't live yet, then just do a basic install from CD (30 mins) and then try the hotswap test. That way you can't lose any data even if something goes wrong. My advice with these machines is never to swap any disk with the machine off - the controller gets confused. Stick with hotswapping and it seems fine. I think you can set up an auto-spare so that if a disk fails the array is rebuilt automatically using the spare. Use sysutils/megarc for monitoring the RAID from BSD. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: problem creating filesystem snapshot
On Thursday 22 June 2006 21:04, Jon Falconer wrote: Greetings, I needed to dump the partitions on a running FreeBSD 6.1R system so I could duplicate them on a test server. The server is a Dell 2850 with the PERC 4e/Di RAID controller with 5 x 73GB disk array. So I thought I would try using the snapshot feature. I used the mksnap_ffs to create a snapshot of a 20GB partition. The command completed in about 15 - 20 seconds. I was then able to run dump against the new snap file and all seemed ok. I then tried the same thing on a 225GB partition. The mksnap_ffs command took over 30 minutes to complete. But every access to that partition after that just hung. I wanted to see the size of the snap file so I typed ls -l /home/.snap (where I had told mksnap_ffs to put the snap file) and it hung. Same thing from several logins. I figured I would have to reset the box so I typed sync, and that hung. All the time, access to other partitions was just fine (/, /usr, /var). All partitions (except /) were created with soft update enables (default when installing.) The questions. Is there anything magic about the /xxx/.snap directory in each partition? When I created the snap file for the 20GB partition, I did not put it inside the /xxx/.snap directory, and it worked fine. No, there is no magic in .snap directories. You can create a snapshot anywhere you want. You can find all snapshots in a UFS with the snapinfo(8) utility. Is there some partition size restrictions? Can't answer this question, but there are a few commits after 6.1-RELEASE so you can try updating to 6.1-STABLE and see what's going on.

USB
Hi and thanks for your help in advance, My problems with USB devices persists. The astute reader may remember. The OS is FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. The problem, my USB devices and how to talk to them as serialdevices. The devices show up when I run usbdevs, and again when plugged in and out. Drivers load and all seems to be correct. Until I try to access the device. There are no device entry's except, usbd and ugenN. This make getting ppp to work with my usb modem a bit difficult. Loading ucom does not fix the problem nor does umodem. On the other hand the usb mouse runs perfectly, logitech, has its own driver. I assumed and it appears incorrectly that the device entry's (/dev ) where created dynamical, with the now absence of the MAKEDEV in /dev. HELP please. I am obviously doing something wrong!!

FreeBSD and VMWare
I noticed that someone asked questions concerning VMware on FreeBSD which was my first realization that the two even go together. I have the opportunity to advocate FreeBSD as a possible replacement to run that software as a parting shot in the next week prior to finally retiring from that organization. They are a very large windows operation but are putting in some Linux/VMware to reduce the windows server hardware platforms (I already know that this is of dubious value when they could natively migrate and just eliminate the servers, efficiency is not an option in the corporate world paradigms). Before I actually recommend they do this on ~80 servers, I would like to verify that it really can be done to move to a FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE/ VMware environment to support W2K3 and E2K3 on a virtual machine?

An even better alternative (IMHO) is Bacula http://bacula.org/. It supports a wide range of platformshttp://bacula.org/rel-manual/Supported_Operating_Systems.html, including Windows PCs (backup client only). As for a GUI, it only comes with bimagemgrhttp://bacula.org/rel-manual/GUI_Programs.html#SECTION000222000, a web interface only useful to those who backup strictly to disk or CDs. It also comes with some text-based console utilities for Windows and Gnome to help centralize management, but most of your work will still have to be done on the backup server anyway.

Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Hi, I'm sure there are solutions to make things work, but personnaly, I don't feel confortable with a RAID system that acts that way, and that is supposed to make the whole system more robust and problem-free. Your missing the point. If a disk crashes it wipes the metafile off the disk. If you want to simulate a disk crash, issue a raid detach command first, then pull the disk. The ata raid in the ata driver isn't written to handle the condition of a disk being pulled that has nothing wrong with it then reinserted. It is written to handle the condition of a disk crashing, then being pulled, then a new one replaced. I used to play with hardware SCSI RAID controllers, and was never able to trash the system. I have SCSI raid controllers too that I can do that with. But keep in mind that these controllers firmware is written to if a disk is pulled then replaced, it immediately assumes that the disk is toast, and rebuilds it from scratch. Hi, I'm not an expert in RAID Ted, and I don't want to be. Simply, in situations where a disk crashes, and the server is not redundant anymore, I prefer having a controller that I can rely on, both eyes closed. I have just installed the 3WARE controller this morning, and did the exact same operations I did with the ICH5/7R and onboard Promise controller of my ASUS boards. It's simply not comparable at all, and for a really affordable price. The server did not crash, and is by the way rebuilding the RAID at the moment... Despite all my efforts, I was not able to trash it. A 3WARE controller is really worth the investment, really. Ah, you must of missed the thread where I recommended the 3ware controller to someone complaining that there wasn't any hardware support for FreeBSD. I happen to have a couple of the 3ware controllers myself. The 3ware controller works but so does the integrated RAID in the ata driver - if you know how to handle it, and you have the right hardware. And granted, the man page does not do a good job of documenting how to recover from a crashed disk. However, not everyone thinks $200 USD is a really affordable price and if all you want to do is mirroring then the integrated ata RAID is fine. Keep in mind that in a 1U server, you don't have room for more than 2 disks anyway. The 3ware controller's main strength over the integrated RAID is that it has additional features, like RAID-5, offline rebuild, etc. Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Simple DNS For Private LAN
I'm having a hard time understanding what I need to do. I have a small home network that uses a 3Com DSL modem/router as the last hop to the Internet. Currently, the DSL modem/router to provides DNS for both my home network and the Internet. Basically I have a few static entries for machines on my home network and then the DSL modem/router queries my ISPs name servers for everything else. When I registered my domain, I used ZoneEdit as my name servers. 'whois mykitchentable.net' gives this output: domain: mykitchentable.net owner-name: Drew Tomlinson nserver:ns3.zoneedit.com 209.61.140.1 nserver:ns4.zoneedit.com 216.98.150.236 Now I'm changing ISPs and the DSL modem/router will be removed. I am going to use a FBSD 6.x box to be my router, firewall, and DNS server. I read the handbook regarding DNS but remain confused. Should I be a master for mykitchentable.net? I'm thinking not because ZoneEdit is the master, correct? So should I be a slave? And if I'm a slave, will my DNS get it's updates from ZoneEdit?

Re: Simple DNS For Private LAN
If you're getting a static IP, then you can become master for your domain, but you'll still need a secondary NS, and most (if not all) registrars will require that the secondary NS be on a different IP. I prefer to have mine on a completely seperate Class A, but that's just personal. I'd leave ns3.zoneedit.com as the secondary NS. Both name servers will be master for the domain. Master just means that the name server won't try to look elsewherefor the info, IIRC, and you don't want these name servers to look elsewhere. Yes you can break a lot of stuff with wrong DNS, but it really isn't that complicated. Don't worry. As a side note, if you really are a DNS newb, here's some (hopefully funny) reading.

Now I'm changing ISPs and the DSL modem/router will be removed. I am going to use a FBSD 6.x box to be my router, firewall, and DNS server. I read the handbook regarding DNS but remain confused.

This depends on whether ZoneEdit allows ``zone transfers'' from their master name servers to the one you will set up as a slave. Or should I become master for my zone and make ZoneEdit a backup DNS? I'd probably leave ZoneEdit as the master, unless your DSL has a static IP address. Even if you *do* have a static IP address, then it is still a good idea to leave ZoneEdit as the master, as long as they let you become a slave NS. I'm a complete newbie to DNS but know that it's important to get it right or lots of stuff gets broken. Can someone please guide me in the right direction? I don't mind reading if you send me a link. :) I think the next step should be to check if ZoneEdit allows you to become a slave NS for your zones. Then you need to decide if the systems you have behind the FreeBSD gateway will have publicly-visible addresses or use NAT. If you use NAT, then I can guide you through setting up a local ``master zone'' that is only visible inside your home network, and a ``slave zone'' that pulls stuff from ZoneEdit for the ``mykitchentable.net'' domain. I already have a similar setup at home, to let my internal systems (workstation, laptop) see each other with internal names and still use my ISP's name servers for everything else. If you don't use NAT, things are going to be much easier, since you only have to set up the names at ZoneEdit and pull the master zone from there.

Error: shared library expat.5 does not exist

It would seem that fontconfig is looking explicitly for expat.5 and
that perhaps the name of the library has changed?
LIB_DEPENDS=freetype.9:${PORTSDIR}/print/freetype2 \
expat.5:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/expat2
I did follow this advice in UPGRADING, to no avail: Users of expat2
(and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly
update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2
Any suggestions about how to fix or work around this issue?

Display: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Hello, We are about to buy new Thinkpads (T60's), and will be running FreeBSD 5.5 or 6.2 (probably 6.2) on them. The ones I've spec'd out have the the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 as its video adapter -- does anybody have any input on these? Will they work? I'd hate to have 7 new thinkpads show up and find out that we can't run X because of this. There are similar T60's available that ship w/ ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 cards, but they all seem to be heavier and shorter on battery life, and the other folks here put battery life and weight as the #1 items on their wish lists before I started to spec them out, so that leans me towards the ones with the Intel graphics card.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you.

You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

However, it would be highly preferable that this machine NOT be shut down in order to install these drives. I know from looking at the docs that these drive bays are hot-swappable, but I'd like to know before I attempt this that someone else out there has successfully performed a hot-swap or hot-install of drives on a 2850 or comparable Dell PowerEdge running FreeBSD. RAID-1 I assume and PERC 4e/Di. Yes, did it when testing fresh machines. The controller BIOS has a setting for how much resource to allocate to the recovery of the inserted drive (0?-100%); the lower you set it the slower it will recover the disk, but the higher you set it the slower the machine will go. I think we went for 70% as the machine never gets *that* heavy disk usage. If the machine isn't live yet, then just do a basic install from CD (30 mins) and then try the hotswap test. That way you can't lose any data even if something goes wrong. My advice with these machines is never to swap any disk with the machine off - the controller gets confused. Stick with hotswapping and it seems fine. I think you can set up an auto-spare so that if a disk fails the array is rebuilt automatically using the spare. Use sysutils/megarc for monitoring the RAID from BSD. --Alex Thanks for the input, The drives hot-plugged just fine. The machine was live when I plugged the disks and still is right now. I'm trying to avoid another trip to the colo today to (safely) reboot by finding out if/where the drives are loaded at the hardware level and how I can go about mounting them to logical partitions. At this point, I'm not as concerned about getting the 2 drives into RAID1 since they're going to be used for backup purposes and will not be used in a high volume capacity (for now), and since this would almost certainly require a reboot. I *know* rebooting is preferable, but I'm experimenting here, and uptime is pretty important since the server is the main mysql box for a handful of websites. The controller is a Perc 4e/Di as assumed, and I'm still a little unsure as to whether the 2 drives that shipped with the machine are currently set up in a RAID array. The current filesystem is mounted on /dev/amrd0s1[a-f] and I would expect to find the new drives named similarly after using some useful utility that I'm unaware of. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

If not, you can set up a locally-visible fake domain, i.e. `*.drew', and run a local caching name server. This name server can be a master for the ``drew.'' zone (``zones'' is what BIND calls parts of the Domain Name System) and, at the same time, a slave for the ``mykitchentable.net'' zone. Now I'm changing ISPs and the DSL modem/router will be removed. I am going to use a FBSD 6.x box to be my router, firewall, and DNS server. I read the handbook regarding DNS but remain confused. The Handbook needs a bit of work around that area :-/ Should I be a master for mykitchentable.net? Not necessarily. You can leave the name-servers of zoneedit as masters. I'm thinking not because ZoneEdit is the master, correct? Correct :-) So should I be a slave? This would be nice. And if I'm a slave, will my DNS get it's updates from ZoneEdit? This depends on whether ZoneEdit allows ``zone transfers'' from their master name servers to the one you will set up as a slave. Or should I become master for my zone and make ZoneEdit a backup DNS? I'd probably leave ZoneEdit as the master, unless your DSL has a static IP address. Even if you *do* have a static IP address, then it is still a good idea to leave ZoneEdit as the master, as long as they let you become a slave NS. I'm a complete newbie to DNS but know that it's important to get it right or lots of stuff gets broken. Can someone please guide me in the right direction? I don't mind reading if you send me a link. :) I think the next step should be to check if ZoneEdit allows you to become a slave NS for your zones. Then you need to decide if the systems you have behind the FreeBSD gateway will have publicly-visible addresses or use NAT. If you use NAT, then I can guide you through setting up a local ``master zone'' that is only visible inside your home network, and a ``slave zone'' that pulls stuff from ZoneEdit for the ``mykitchentable.net'' domain. I already have a similar setup at home, to let my internal systems (workstation, laptop) see each other with internal names and still use my ISP's name servers for everything else. If you don't use NAT, things are going to be much easier, since you only have to set up the names at ZoneEdit and pull the master zone from there. Thank you for your reply. I use NAT for my servers that are visible from the outside so I set ZoneEdit to return the same address for all servers at mykitchentable.net which is currently 67.137.238.101. Thus www.mykitchentable.net, drew.mykitchentable.net, mykitchentable.net, and whatever else.all return 67.137.238.101. Based up this, it seems that I should leave ZoneEdit alone and set up a local master zone visible only to my private LAN as you describe above. Being a slave and pulling from ZoneEdit wouldn't have any benefit as the public address won't equal the private address. So assuming I understand correctly, yes, please guide me in setting up a local master zone. Thank you very much!!! Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

I use linux also, and I have never experienced it there, so...I just would like to know if there is a command line to restart the mouse device, I am sure it would detect. like usbmouse restart restarting usb device...

But after rebooting once/or just unplug/plug it again it works, kinda crazy ain't that?

Freebsd 6.1 Samba 3 as a PDC not using ldap
Hello I am looking for help with running SAMBA 3 as a PDC on Freebsd 6.1 I can get samba to run as a basic server no problem. but I would like it get samba to run as a pdc but not using ldap, I would be most grateful if I could see a working smb.conf file running as a pdc that would perhaps steer me in the correct direction. The examples that come with samba 3 have not been ported to freebsd and my visits to google have yielded lots of info but nothing that actually helps me. The problem comes for me to add machines get them to 'register' as part of the domain etc Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer Kind Regards Godfrey ~ Compu-Doc On-Line - http://www.compudoc.co.za Striving To Serve You Better ~ Godfrey J.

Re: FreeBSD and VMWare
In response to YTResearch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I noticed that someone asked questions concerning VMware on FreeBSD which was my first realization that the two even go together. I have the opportunity to advocate FreeBSD as a possible replacement to run that software as a parting shot in the next week prior to finally retiring from that organization. They are a very large windows operation but are putting in some Linux/VMware to reduce the windows server hardware platforms (I already know that this is of dubious value when they could natively migrate and just eliminate the servers, efficiency is not an option in the corporate world paradigms). Before I actually recommend they do this on ~80 servers, I would like to verify that it really can be done to move to a FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE/ VMware environment to support W2K3 and E2K3 on a virtual machine? Has anyone done this? FreeBSD 6 runs fine _inside_ vmware -- as a virtual machine. I used it daily with almost no trouble (and the small amount of trouble is likely to be unrelated to vmware). I have never gotten vmware to run as a program under FreeBSD, i.e. using FreeBSD as the host for other vmware machines. I have tried several times. Technically, VMWare doesn't support it. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Cluster File System
Hi Christopher! GFS (Global File System) is for Red Hat Linux, but GPL, if you have the programming muscle to port it. http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/ But does MySQL support accessing one file storage from two separate servers? Even with GFS, applications must play along and do _proper_ filelocking without hanging on to exclusive locks unnecessarily. Also, if you really do need to go with a cluster file system, you probably easily have the pennies necessary for buying Red Hat and GFS subscriptions and do it that way, considering that proper shareable SAN storage is not (yet) available for a butterbread. The el-cheapo variant of SAN storage would be iSCSI. As for ftp; replication or NFS probably are the cheapest solutions.

See, some BIOSes have an option that makes your USB mouse or keyboard appear as a PS/2 device to the operating system so it can be used in older operating systems without USB support. So, FBSD is seeing your mouse as a PS/2 device, and it's not configured for it to work like that., until you unplug and replug it. Then it gets handled by FBSD as an USB device and therefore works. So... open your bios config (reboot and it should say something like hit F1 to enter setup, if it doesn't, try tapping F1, F12, Delete, Tab on startup). Look for something called Legacy Emulation. Mine's called Legacy Keyboard Emulation, but it handles the mouse too. You need to switch that off. xorgcfg didn't help, it is more like freebsd doesn't feel the mouse is there, it doesn't work at shell also, when it wants not to work. But after rebooting once/or just unplug/plug it again it works, kinda crazy ain't that? I repeat, there's nothing wrong with my hardware, it works pretty well at other platforms, I just need the command line to do what the system do when I plug it back to detect it.

Re: Simple DNS For Private LAN
If you're getting a static IP, then you can become master for your domain, but you'll still need a secondary NS, and most (if not all) registrars will require that the secondary NS be on a different IP. I Don't know about the others, but dotster doesn't care. My domain is one box, 5 IP's. bind listens on two of them. sure it's not the most robust solution, but it works just fine. -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The consensus seems to be that FreeBSD/amd64 is a tad slower then

of RAM.
This should give you the speed boost your looking for:
CPUTYPE?=pentium2
CFLAGS+= -mtune=nocona
COPTFLAGS+= -mtune=nocona
Put that in /etc/make.conf and recompile ports/kern/world.
Cool, thanks.

Yea it looks weird but I've benchmarked it:
-march=pentium2 + -mtune=pentium3
-march=pentium2 + -mtune=pentium4
-march=pentium2 + -mtune=prescott
-march=pentium2 + -mtune=nocona
All are equal to or better then -march={your_real_cpu} alone, which is
weird because -march=cputype implies -mtune=cputype. My gcc settings
also produce safer (less buggy) code at compile time and safely
optimizes code that would otherwise ignore the CPUTYPE option in
make.conf... YMMV.
