Image not booting
Hey guys, I've downloaded multiple copies (from different FTP servers), 6.2-RELEASE-ia64 and it seems like this particular image doesn't want to boot up in my system. The i386 and amd64 distro's bootup just fine, but obviously don't work because system architecture is 64bit Intel. I'm out of ideas and I've ruled out the system as at fault. What do you guys think?

I'm not sure where you found your JAIL_HOME and jails.conf (a script?), but each jail needs a rootdir, which can be a path to whatever you want. You can configure this rootdir in /etc/rc.conf. Have a look there. Depending on how much space your actual jails are using, you may consider moving all your jails onto a new drive, instead of moving part of them. It is maybe easier to manage your system this way, although not necessary at all.

Re: Sorta OT - Backup solutions Mac to FreeBSD
Hello, I am backing up 5 servers on one centralized machines using rsnapshot It is doing a perfect job, including : -- SSH transport. -- Rsync based. -- Incremental backup. As It uses a symlink strategy, It does not use very much space on the backup device. It is in the ports /usr/ports/sysutil/rsnapshot and described as : rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync(1). rsnapshot makes it easy to make periodic snapshots of local machines, and remote machines over ssh. The code makes extensive use of hard links whenever possible, to greatly reduce the disk space required. It is written entirely in perl with no module dependencies, and has been tested with versions 5.004 through 5.8.1. WWW:http://www.rsnapshot.org -- I am backing up 2To of data, with a daily flow of 20 to 100 Go. The first backup is quite long - after it's a matter of hours (1 or 2 max). In order to fully automate the process, I have created an ssh key signature that allows me to access directly as root - if you would like more security, you could create a specific user… which will lead you to ownership problem, unless very well setup. The main problem with mac would be to sync the specific MetaData files specific to the Mac. I don't think these are synced in my backup. This is only a problem if your users are not naming their files with the right extension (.doc, .pdf, …). If you are syncing OSX 10.4 use the Apple provided rsync and not any other (more steady). The main piece if to configure rsnapshot.conf cron # Cron # 0 3 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily; 0 4 1 * * /usr/bin/rsnapshot monthly; # # rsnapshot.conf - rsnapshot configuration file # # # # # PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING RULES: # # # # This file requires tabs between elements # # # # Directories require a trailing slash: # # right: /home/ # # wrong: /home# # # # ### # CONFIG FILE VERSION # ### config_version 1.2 ### # SNAPSHOT ROOT DIRECTORY # ### # All snapshots will be stored under this root directory. #snapshot_root /var/cache/rsnapshot/ snapshot_root /home/snapshot/ # If no_create_root is enabled, rsnapshot will not automatically create the # snapshot_root directory.

Problem updating proftpd

release(7) subtargets and custom internal releng
Does anyone out there use the sub-targets in /usr/src/release independent
of the 'make release' target? I'm looking to build customized install ISOs
from a highly stripped down 'make buildworld'.
I want to build the stripped version of the userland and kernels using my
make.conf(5) in my native environment and avoid the chroot(8) +
re-make-buildworld.
I don't need src sets, mass port builds, docs
I guess I'm spoiled by NetBSD build.sh in this sense. There we just
./build.sh { build, release CHECKFLIST_FLAGS+=-e -m}; mkhybrid(1) and
you've got a customized install ISO.
I understand the how the default release(7) approach creates a sanitized
build environment. Seems logical. But it accomplishes one descrete task.
Essentially I need the following:
make buildworld
release.3
release.4
release.5
release.6
floppies.1
cdrom.1
cdrom.3
iso.1
Before I spend a day getting all of these targets to play nice together,
just curious if anyone else is doing this?

Hi, I am running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE In an effort to update my ports collection, I ran CVSup, with the line ports-all in my cvs_supfile After the update finished, I noticed that some of my ports that were there before, notably php5-cgi, were no longer there. I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction for the solution to my problem. Thanks.

Re: sshd never restarts
Noah [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: FreeBSD 4.9 openssh-3.6.1_6 so I have a script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh that I use to restart sshd but sshd most of the time never comes back. there is nothing relevant that makes it to /var/log/messages if I start sshd manually with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh there are no error messages. My /etc/ssh/sshd_config configuration is fine and has no errors. how can I assure that sshd restarts each time? when I am remote to the machine. I am locked out of it. The first thing you need to understand is why this is happening. The script starts executing, and shuts down sshd. The output from that command is being sent to your terminal, which is no longer reachable. The shell closes, and the script stops before it gets around to starting sshd up again. [This type of problem is also common in resetting firewall settings from a remote terminal.] There are many ways to work around this problem. My favorite is probably to use screen (ports/sysutils/screen), which will disconnect the shell from the terminal session and allow you to reconnect later. You would probably be okay with just redirecting the standard output (and error output) of the script, but the shell is going to close anyway, because the ssh session is closed by shutting sshd down. In some cases, it can also be useful to run the script via cron(8) or at(1). You can decide for yourself. I must say, though, that resetting sshd isn't something I do often. Are you sure it is necessary at all?

Re: Negation in tables for packet filter

This is clear if tables are a simple or'ing of the entries, but the

(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/tables.html):

block in on dc0 all
pass in on dc0 from goodguys to any
* 172.16.50.5 - narrowest match is 172.16.0.0/16; packet matches the
table and will be passed
* 172.16.1.25 - narrowest match is !172.16.1.0/24; packet matches an
entry in the table but that entry is negated (uses the ! modifier);
packet does not match the table and will be blocked
* 172.16.1.100 - exactly matches 172.16.1.100; packet matches the
table and will be passed
* 10.1.4.55 - does not match the table and will be blocked

Sendmail Weirdness on 6.2 (Duplicate Emails)
It seems as though something in my setup or in Sendmail 8.13.8 is causing certain domains, namely Hotmail, to keep sending messages over and over up to 15 times. Each message is accepted and sent to the user. The MX is just a machine that has 6.2, spamassassin, clamav, milter-regex and some dnsbl stuff.

Converting from ata-raid to gmirror
Hello! I'm currently running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE (amd64) on a system based on Intel SE7230NH1-E motherboard, which has Intel ICH7R integrated softraid. The machine has two 500 GB drives which are configured as RAID1 in BIOS. Unfortunately, this setup seems to have some stability issues which I can't figure out how to solve. Specifically, when the storage subsystem is put under heavy load (such as doing nightly backups) the kernel starts spitting out horrible error messages such as: FAILURE - out of memory in ata_raid_init_request g_vfs_done():ar0s1f[WRITE(offset=8091172864, length=16384)]error = 5 FAIg_vfs_done():ar0LURE - out of memsory in ata_raid_1init_reqfu[eWsRItTE(o ffset=8091F1A8I9LU2R4E8 ,- oleuntg tohf= 16m3e8m4o)ry]e rirno ra t=a 5 _raid_init_requestg vfs_done():ar0s1f[WRITE(offsFAeItL=UR8E0 9-1 2o05u6t3 2o,f lmeengmtoh=ry1 6i3n8 4a)t]ae_rrraoird _=in i5t If it looks like garbage, then yes, this is how it appears in /var/log/messages. I'm seriously afraid that similar corruption is sneaking into important user files. Only thing I can think of is converting this setup from BIOS-based RAID to gmirror. This would involve, I think, modifying /etc/fstab so that it references ad4 instead of ar0, then permanently breaking the mirror in BIOS, booting up the system with single disk and then basically following the gmirror chapter in the handbook. Correct? I'm also a little uncertain about permanently breaking the mirror part. I've read all the motherboard and LSI docs I can find and this topic isn't covered anywhere. Some googling seems to hint that it can be done, but nothing too definitive. If anyone happens to have the exact configuration menu map for Intel Matrix RAID (LSI Megaraid V3) as it appears on SE7230NH1-E motherboard, it would be appreciated. Or if anyone can suggest what to do to fix the system without converting to gmirror, then that, of course, would also be appreciated. -- Toomas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Sendmail Weirdness on 6.2 (Duplicate Emails)
This may be from badly formed headers. This occurs most often in SPAM. You can change the logging on your sendmail and see if the conversations actually complete. I would bet they are not completing, instead erroring out, so the messages get resent. The usual fix is to clear the mail out of the hot mail or similar accounts. -Derek At 02:52 PM 1/30/2007, Tom Grove wrote: It seems as though something in my setup or in Sendmail 8.13.8 is causing certain domains, namely Hotmail, to keep sending messages over and over up to 15 times.

Labeling a backward-compatible Zip disk?
Out of idle curiosity, I dug out my old box of Zip disks (mainly consisting of backups of an Amiga computer I sold many years ago). The FreeBSD docs have an excellent howto for making UFS-formatted disks, but I'd really like to format a disk that's basically identical to how it would have originally shipped. The biggest problem is that I have no idea what partitioning scheme the OEM-formatted disks used. Any ideas? Also, should I use any particular newfs options?

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 6.2 hanging and/or spontaneous rebooting
I think I've fixed the spontaneous reboot and system hang problem I've been having with FBSD 6.1 6.2 as described in earlier threads of the same subject. I'm now using FBSD 6.2 to send this message. What I did was to set a hint in /boot/device.hints and also /boot/loader.conf to disable acpi hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 and then I set a hint to enable apm hint.apm.0.disabled=0 hint.apm.0.flags=0x20 plus I set apm and apmd to start at boot in /etc/rc.conf apm_enable=YES apmd_enable=YES and in /boot/loader.conf, I put apm_load=YES The messages log shows that APM is being detected, and the computer now fully powers down via shutdown -p now. I've a suggestion. It would be nice if freebsd could try to detect if acpi is supported on the computer in which it is being installed, and if none is found, it should completely disable acpi and then check if apm is supported. It should then set the appropriate settings to enable the correct power management support for the computer. This would prevent this particular spontaneous rebooting and hanging on old computers like mine which are pre-acpi but have apm support. So far, I haven't had any problems using KPPP.

Re: FreeBSD 6.2 install CD causes immediate reboot

It took a while before they become widespread though. The later revisions of Win95 did have support for USB, which was improved in Win98. When I try to boot up with the FreeBSD 6.2 installation CD, the system tries to boot from the CD; but then reboots before anything messages from the CD appear on the monitor. Is there something I can try, or should I just give up? I have a hard time throwing functional hardware in the trash. Maybe I'm struggling too much with my own mortality; but that's a different discussion. ;-) You could try booting an older version of FreeBSD (4.x probably since 5.x is very similar to 6.x) and see if that works. You could also fiddle with various BIOS settings. You could also try the boot floppies. If none of that works I would give up trying to install FreeBSD on that computer. Booting with FreeBSD 6.2 floppies worked. Thanks! Andrew Try booting the CD without acpi / apm support too. apm support with dell is fruity, and acpi shouldn't have really been supported all the way with the machine either. Moreover, you can try making a boot floppy with the BIOS update as the current BIOS version may not support Unix installs. I agree though--if you can't boot freebsd, you should give up. There are versions of Linux that may run on the laptop though, so you can give that a shot as well.. Also just for the sake of the archives, Win95 ver. b (basically SP2) did have USB support but it really sucked; I couldn't the machine to recognize a number of USB devices with this version of 95. However, Win98 made a big difference in this arena since they started properly supporting USB and so that's probably one reason why many people upgraded. - -Garrett -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFvOhoEnKyINQw/HARAjVxAKCW19E3zOsDLq0TvSgfa+N+W4yxZgCeJapp ZrmxQ0oXi5R0QoRFIRBI/fA= =iUTj -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] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Q: re ASUS motherboard with dual inet interfaces
Hello, I have a new machine with an ASUS motherboard that has, or is supposed to have dual ethernet interfaces. And in fact it has two rj-45 ports for connecters. But when I use sysinstall to configure the interfaces all I get is fwe0 fire wire ethernet emulation. And when I use sysinstall it only lists one device. ifconfig only lists this device. What is the explanation for this and how would I get it to configure and use the second port? Using FreeBSD v6.0. Need separate local and public connections to this machine.

I am trying to PXE boot to an unattended install. I figured out that I needed to add dists=base kernels GENERIC even though kernels and GENERIC are not in the list in the man page. Is there anyone in charge of updating this information? I have never submitted an update. I guess that's me. Could you please raise a PR and send me the number? I sent in a PR. Let me know if you don't get it. I tried with almost every version of 5.X to get an unattended install working. Never worked. It seems as if sysinstall was looking only for a USB floppy drive. Originally I started looking over the code to send in a PR and perhaps a patch, but became busy with other things. I can't speak for 5.x because I didn't really run it, but this worked for 6.x a year ago: http://typo.submonkey.net/articles/2006/02/12/ I am actually pxe booting to it now. However, I am using pxe-1.4.2 instead of having it all in the dhcp config. Also, I saw a not that the floppy drive is not working. I couldn't get it to work either. I am doing this all PXE style. I was using FreeBSD, isc-dhcp-server, pxe-1.4.2, and tftp and ftp from inetd to pxe boot and didn't really try the floppy so I tried the floppy. I have tested two separate hardware machines and VMWare 5.d and I cannot get the floppy to detect and read the install.cfg. I have tried both MS-DOS floppy and a floppy formatted with UFS, so I am guessing this is broken too. So with the PXE solution, I have almost everything working: I cannot get the machine to automatically reboot. This is the one last thing I need for full automation. So it looks like there are three issues that some of us who donate time could address: 1. Update man sysinstall which I submitted a PR for. 2. Fix the floppy not being detected. 3. Figure out how to reboot once the unattended install completes. I found the answer for how to reboot in the code. To reboot add the following to the end of the install.cfg: shutdown I found it in this source file: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/dispatch.c This source file has a list of a lot of the functions that can be called in the install.cfg. Even though the function is called shutdown it is a reboot not a shutdown, which is perfect because I wanted it to reboot. Also, I found that a lot of variables are in this file: /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/sysinstall.h I will try write a few changes to the man page, and send it to you with a diff file and get you my working install.cfg in my next email. The OP's note about adding the kernels line is definitely needed and I'll fix that (though I would really love a PR for it), but for anything else, you have to send hardware (a laptop or Soekris, I'm not fussy!) :) Ceri I will settle for the updated man page for now.

Re: Q: re ASUS motherboard with dual inet interfaces
Using FreeBSD v6.0. Need separate local and public connections to this machine. There's your problem. If it's the board I'm thinking of, it has one of the newer Marvell chipsets which isn't supported in 6.0. Give 6.2-RELEASE a shot, and I imagine it'll see your network cards.

Even though the function is called shutdown it is a reboot not a shutdown, which is perfect because I wanted it to reboot. I have a local patch that we use on our installation process that adds a couple of new commands: poweroff - shutdown and power off the machine (useful for doing installation, then shut down for shipping) poweroffNoRC - as above, but don't attempt to write rc.conf shutdownNoRC - like regular shutdown (reboot), but no rc.conf The latter two options are handy if you write your own scripts that generate rc.conf, as normally sysinstall tries to write rc.conf itself on shutdown, which clobbers any existing file your scripts may create. If anyone is interested and/or these are likely candidates for inclusion then I can submit a PR to have someone check these in. I also have a man page update that documents the above functions.
