What type of info should I provide to allow someone to help me with a solution? I would very much prefer to not install another drive just for /var. /usr has plenty of space. Can I mount var off of /usr? Given that I don't know what version of FreeBSD you're running, I would first try to move and symlink /var into /usr Got to single user mode first. Then copy /var with cpio # find /var -print | cpio -pvdmu /usr Remove the old /var and make a symlink to /usr/var # rm -rf /var # ln -s /usr/var var Reboot to normal operations. Second - if all seems like to work well - I would perhaps prefer to expand the g partition into the old e partition and do a growfs on /usr to make use of the extra space left over from old /var, IF these two partitions are close neighbours on the disk. As I understand it's only possible to growfs within a partition, so we need to merge the old e partition with the existing g. Go to single user mode again # bsdlabel -e /dev/ad0s1 Add the size of the g partition to the f partition in the editor. Delete the g partition line and save. Run a growfs on the new g # growfs /dev/ad0s1g Reboot. You will probably run into some fsck problems, but that will hopefully be a one timer. I have only done the last approach one time myself on a 6.2-RC1 install - - so any second opinions from some more seasoned users would be grateful. Don't forget to study the man pages for bsdlabel and growfs - and do your backups. But it would give you a general idea of how your problems may be solved. /Anders -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Grunbacher Altweizen Dunkel Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFhP1UMVyOPWVstbURAgYRAKCikpLatgEUq5L1bDOccUOf21wrfACfT/YJ gu41y+tiHOnNyn4yJk2/9pc= =alP4 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Unicode support on FreeBSD
CONSOLE As we know, the console drivers atkbd and sc do not support unicode (in contrast to linux console drivers, for example). So we have to use programs able to translate unicode to a single byte code table. I use my PC successfully in such a manner. X You should set LC_CTYPE to ru_RU.UTF-8 (for russian) before running X programs, and you should have correct unicode support. I have the next line in .xinitrc: env LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 twm And I have no problem with X programs for years.

My brain is fried trying to track down a HOWTO, and the wiki is just a half millimeter left of useless. The quickest and easiest method would be to run this on your desktop *before* SSH'ing to the other machine: xhost +LOCAL: That means that any user on the same machine (technically, any user accessing your display via the local domain socket /tmp/.X11-unix/X0) can pop up windows on your X display. Because of the way SSH X- forwarding works, all the processes on your remote machine appear to the local X server as if they were running on your local desktop, so that command will work for them too. Obviously this has security implications on machines where you do not trust all of the users -- for instance it would be fairly trivial for anyone else with access to either of those machines to be able to capture all of your keyboard input including any passwords you needed to type. You need to be able to trust implicitly both your local desktop and the remote server you're logging into. You can have more fine-grained control by using xauth to copy the access tokens for your display into the .Xauthority file in another users' home directory: xauth nextract - $DISPLAY | su - otheruser -c xauth nmerge - You should only need to do that one time per $DISPLAY, but if you're doing X forwarding over SSH, you may need to do that at least once for each desktop machine you log in from, even if you get the same $DISPLAY setting each time. ssh, when doing X forwarding, does pretty much that internally to forward your credentials so commands on the remote machine can display on the desktop in front of you. Note: $DISPLAY is set automatically for you when you enable X forwarding and SSH in. You may need to quietly eliminate misguided attempts to set $DISPLAY in the shell startup scripts of otheruser --- it should inherit the value from your environment if you become that user by su(1) or sudo(1). See xauth(1) for more information about what you can do with it -- quite a lot more really.

What decision junction leads to SELECT DEFAULT DESKTOP in 6.1 install?
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 2006 December 17 Sunday What decision junction leads to SELECT DEFAULT DESKTOP in 6.1 install? I cannot find what decision junction leads to the SELECT DEFAULT DESKTOP screen as featured in the installation documents and portrayed in Figure 2-51. Select Default Desktop I have installed from scratch three times looking for this but have failed to find it. Naturally, my subsequent efforts with % echo exec startkde ~/.xinitrc followed by startx have lead to failure. I appreciate that from your point of view this probably comes under the heaing of one more for the idiots of the year list, but I have racked my brains over this one and have come to a total dead end. I have done a basic installation okay, and can log in and can see a three-pane display which I presume to be the default tmw desktop. I can su okay and can shutdown okay with shutdown -h now. So I figure my equipment is compatible and that my basic understanding of the installation fundamentals is correct. If you could favor me by pointing me in the direction of the decision junction which I am failing to spot, then I would be very grateful.

Dear All,
I am very new to Bind and FreeBSD.
I have just configured a Local DNS server using the built-in
Bind 9.3.1 on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine.
My problem is that the machine can cache queries on the
localhost and loop back (127.0.0.1) interface only.
I have a public static IP on this machine too and I can't
seem to query the caching name server from my local network.
In Linux, this is no problem. I just can't seem to get Bind
to work as in my local network. It works only on the
loopback interface.
The default /etc/namedb/named.conf configuration file for BIND
says:

It looks like if you comment out that option, it will listen
on * by default. You could also add the other IP address on
which you want named to listen.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your help. I did comment and added my public
static IP like the following:
listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP
Now when I do from my local PC:
dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups.
But when I try doing that from another computer on my network, I
can't do any DNS lookups.
Is that anything that I miss?

You have to tell the other machines on your network to use the IP
of the local DNS server for domain name resolution. If you are
using DHCP you can configure your DHCP server to give this
information with the IP. Otherwise you must manually do it, which
will be different between operating systems.

Re: i finally got wireless working
hi... I would like to ask a wireless problem but has little to do with the article here... i want to setup my desktop to use wireless, but there doesn't seem to have a lot of wireless PCI card supported available, and the supported ones are quite expensive... I wonder if there is a more updated hardware list about the supported PCI card?? thank you!!

GEOM Gate: sparc64/i386 compatibility issues?
Hi there, I've two machines with a 6.1-RELEASE installed on: one is a sparc64 and the another is an i386 machine with a little (and I think not relevant) kernel configuration differences. If I run ggated on the i386 and I try to connect through ggatec from the sparc, ggated exits telling me it has created ggate0 device but the device does not exist in /dev con the sparc machine; moreover, when I run ggatec list (or ggatel list) the machine freezes (not an hard freeze, but there is inability to do anything). Conversely, if I try to export from the sparc and connect from the i386, i get this error from 'ggatec -v': - error: ggatec: ioctl(/dev/ggctl): Invalid argument. From another i386 machine running a 6.1-RELEAS too, everything is ok. All this seems to be a little strange.. Has anybody any ideas?

PHP 5 with Apache 1.3
Hi all, bit of a long saga, and a (by now) humble question .. I reinstalled php5-5.2.0 from its package, after having to deinstall php 4 and reinstall 5 after the only major glitch on a portupgrade -aPP on a 5.5-STABLE system upgrading old ports, mostly from 5.4-R days. [FWIW, portupgrading phpMyAdmin from packages forces php5, as does its dependency pecl-pdflib-2.1.2, neither of which require later than php 4.1 according to their docs. Anyway, having decided to go with php5 ..] Despite being listed as PHP Scripting Language (Apache Module and CLI) the php5-5.2.0 package is not built with mod_php5, which seems kinda odd as that's what most folks want to install php for, I'd have thought? So I've made php5 from ports (make config; #add 'build Apache module'; make deinstall; make reinstall) and now have a shiny new mod_php5.so and the install added that to httpd.conf, looking good: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache/libphp5.so .. AddModule mod_php5.c However despite also adding to httpd.conf, hopefully in the right place, DirectoryIndex index.php index.html .. AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps and after an apachectl restart (even apachectl stop; apachectl start), with things looking ok according to /localhost/server-info and -status, apache still wants to send raw .php pages to Mozilla, which whinges 'the file is of type application/x-httpd-php ..', offering to save it. I'm trying this with phpmyadmin, all this was working before on php4, and I've tried both -dist and -recommended as php.ini What do I need to do to get Apache to execute mod_php5 on .php files?

libmap.conf file????
Hi, I am running a FreeBSD6.1 Webserver with mysql but having problems I found below mentioned quote on the net? But I don't know where to find this libmap.conf file? -quote from the NET For FreeBSD 6 tests show that using libthr gives the best performance (search on the net for some benchmarks). To use libthr, just download the precompiled mysql for FreeBSD 6, and add the following lines to your /etc/libmap.conf : [mysqld] libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 libpthread.so libthr.so After that restart your mysqld, and from then on it should be using libthr. --end of quote... While, it says that one has to download precompiled mysql. But I installed the mysql50-server from the FreeBSD ports collection. 1. I wonder, that would I have to create /etc/libmap.conf file by myself? Or 2. Do I need to install another port to have it work? 3. If I make the file by myself and restart the server, how could I know that mySQL is using now libthr library? Thanks for your help -- Thanks!

I checked /usr/ports/UPDATING, but didn't seem to find anything (unless I made a typo in my text search). Portupgrade or portmaster are your friends. It failed with portmanager, so I tried portupgrade to see what the problem was. When I ran portupgrade, I got the following: Note: Configure has discovered that you already have Audacious installed and it does not match with the given --prefix. You have Audacious installed in /usr/X11R6/bin and you chose /usr/local/bin. If you don't want two copies of Audacious installed, rerun configure with the --prefix option set to the location of the old Audacious, or uninstall the old Audacious. After compiling for a bit, it exited with the following error: playlist.c: In function `playlist_entry_get_info': playlist.c:181: error: structure has no member named `mtime' [ ... ] Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/audacious. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portupgrade.81965.0 env UPGRADE_TOOL=portupgrade UPGRADE_PORT=audacious-1.1.2 UPGRADE_PORT_VER=1.1.2 make ** Fix the problem and try again. I think I had similar issues in the past when I tried to update Audacious, and a make deinstall / make install clean fixed the problem. This is when I attempted to deinstall Audacious, and was unable to. I've never tried portmaster, but I'm thinking it only works if you install from packages (please correct me if I'm wrong), and I have everything compiled from source. Any ideas? I had exactly the same problem as you. IMHO, it should be reported to the mantainer as a problem report.

Re: write(2) takes 17 seconds even with O_NONBLOCK
In the last episode (Dec 17), Dieter said: I've always thought that writing to a file descriptor with O_NONBLOCK set was supposed to return quickly. Isn't that the whole point of O_NONBLOCK ? I have a C program writing to stdout, which is set to O_NONBLOCK, and the shell redirects stdout to a regular disk file. Dispite O_NONBLOCK, my program reports that a write call took 17.701340 seconds. non-blocking really only applies to sockets or pipes, and means I have at least one free byte in my outbound buffer. Files don't have buffers and are always writable. There is no guarantee on how long the write will take, however. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The moving-your-system FAQ: Anything else I should know?
I'm about to move my system, I've read the FAQ, I don't want to rearrange anything. I want to make sure I have the process down correctly before I try, so I am asking here. I am using 6.0 #2. First, I hook up both drives. I partition the new hard drive and label it the same way as the previous drive. Then, I would reboot to single-user mode. I would use newfs to create new file systems form each new partition. I mount each partition in turn to a temporary mount point and change directory to the newly mounted partition. Then the FAQ gives the following command for the dump-copy process: dump 0af - / | restore xf - This is to be used without modification for each partition. It this really it? It seems... easy.

Yep, it's really that easy. I've been experimenting with different RAID configurations on my main work PC and I've done this procedure at least twice in the last few months. (I'll be doing it again in a couple weeks when some new drives come in). If you are changing additional hardware (besides just the hard drive), here are some things to keep in mind: If you have CPUTYPE set in /etc/make.conf you should be sure that the setting you had for the old computer is compatible with the new computer. If it's not, you should un-set it or set it to the lowest common denominator between the two systems the rebuild world, kernel, and all your ports (preferrably before you make the switch). If you use a custom kernel be sure that it has support for the disk and network devices on your new system. If it doesn't, add the drivers back in or switch back to GENERIC. It's entirely possible that your hard drive will come up as a different device on your new system. This is especially true if you are moving from e.g. IDE to SATA or something similar. The easiest way to deal with this is after you make the switch. The kernel will boot but then fail to mount the root filesystem and prompt for the name of the root device to use. Use the kernel's boot output and your knowledge of how you laid out the disk to supply the correct device name. After that, you'll probably get other mount failures forcing the system to come up in single-user mode. Manually mount /usr and re-mount / r/w so you can edit /etc/fstab with the right values. Save and reboot. You might need to do other things like reconfigure X, etc. but that can all be handled after you make the switch.

geli load key before rootfs is mounted
Hi, I've been playing around with geli and I was wondering if anyone managed to actually use the feature which loads the keyfile before the root filesystem is mounted. Specifically, to use something similar in /boot/loader.conf: geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_load=YES geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_type=da1s3a:geli_keyfile0 geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_name=/boot/keys/da1s3a.key If it worked, please let me know. I couldn't do it on a 6.1-REL0. (keeps saying password is wrong, probably because it doesn't see the keyfile). Of course, the .key file is on unencrypted media. I appreciate your time and suggestions.

PC-BSD 1.2: /dev/agpgart missing on i810 chipset
Hi All, I installed PC-BSD 1.2 (FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2) on a PC with i810 chipset. Well, as you might have guessed from the subject, X did not start, with an error indicating the /dev/agpgart was not present. AFAIK, agp, drm support is built-in for FreeBSD 6.1 - so I am not sure why /dev/agpgart was not created. Other similar threads did not help much, as the solutions involved creating the node by hand (which I think won't work), or adding some patch to the kernel (not sure if this will work either, as the support is built-in). As a sidenote, Ubuntu 6.06 on the same machine properly created /dev/agpgart, and things are fine. I tried doing X -config, which gave me a crude 640x480 resolution. In the Device section, giving module to be i810 or vesa did not help either. The same error persists. Any pointers to get X working shall be appreciated. I do not have an access to this machine, so cannot really post the errors or log files. Also, since PC-BSD uses FreeBSD 6.1, I thought of posting here. Thanks in advance.
