If you install software when your hard drive has bad sectors then the software your installing may be written around those areas, possibly won't run properly (if at all) and cause the system to become unstable which would then result in further data loss. Also, bad sectors are like a disease and continue to `spread' the more it's used. - Russell DISCLAIMER: Disclaimer. This e-mail is private and confidential.

Re: New to FreeBSD
Hello, here I am again with another problem. Thanks for your answers, I managed to setup my system, and now almost everything works. Still, I must configure my printer (Hp LaserJet 6L), but this is not the issue now. I have troubles with my monitor picture: if I set up the monitor picture for windows with the buttons on my monitro, then on FreeBSD my desktop goes always to right for a centimeter. Then again, if I fix the position with my monitor buttons then on windows the picture goes on the right (or left). What's the cause of this? Any solutions? FreeBSD is great, I use it all the times, but still, I miss some programs from windows (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Catia).

2 things....
Guys, I have two things to publicly mumble. First--and this is extremely preliminary--with the barest of first tests, gcc42 seems to be a quantum leap over the default gcc that's in 6.2. Especially with -O3 and -funroll-loops. At least weeks more testings. Second, is there anybody to talk to about the ports/packages upgrade deal? Is this on tap for the summer-of-hacking feast, or is it up to us?

Thank you. I didn't know about those parameters. I'll give it a try. Perhaps, if I add the parameters to the kernel configuration, linuxflashplugin will build on amd64 too? Can it be applied to the kernel modules? I have an intergrated network card from Marvell. They provide i386 binary module only.

In order to move objects of similar sizes between 2 locations, you need 3 locations total : 1 destination, 1 target, and 1 temporary. Similar ideologies apply here. You need to a) dump(3) the data from your FreeBSD disk into a safe spot, and b) copy over all of your Windows files into (another?) safe spot, then, c) install XP over from scratch with the new scheme, and d) boot using a freebsd snapshot iso, copy all of your files over again by "un-dump(3)'ing" them, and modify /etc/fstab accordingly.

dhcpd assigns address, but DNS resolvers and ping fail
Hello all,
Another in my mysterious problems list...
pf.conf is set up to allow icmp anywhere. And dhcpd offers a
plausible IP address and gateway that the client (tested under
both Linux and Windows) accepts.
The client doesn't get the DNS resolver information and can't
ping anywhere, even by raw IP address, even to the router. The
router also fails to ping the client.
This is FreeBSD stable, updated about a week ago. dhcpd.conf
and pf.conf files are attached.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Intel D975XBX2 - BTX halted
Hello. I'm installing FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on a brand new system with Intel D975XBX2 board. It seems that FreeBSD does not support the onboard Marvell 88SE6145 SATA controller. Could someone confirm this? At first, when I tried to boot the installation CD, the loader hung very early in the process with the message "BTX halted". But when I went to the BIOS and disabled "Secondary SATA controller" (in Advanced, Peripheral Configuration), the CD booted and the install began alright. By the way, I did the BIOS upgrade (to version BX97520J.86A.2674), but that didn't help. Even though the board has another RAID controller (ICH7-R/ICH7-DH), I really would like to get both of them working. This system is going to be a server and I was going to hook up 6 hard drives to it: 2 as RAID1 and 4 as RAID5. Now that I figured out what was causing the "BTX halted" error, I'm going to complete the installation, and then try to enable the Marvell controller back. Let's see if that works. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you know the drive is good (e.g. by testing it in another machine), the first thing you should replace is the power supply. Weird drive behavior is often a sign of weak PSUs. FWIW, I tested the power supply with an inexpensive power supply tester; it checked out. I guess I should replace it, nonetheless... Also, if this is just a hard drive crash, shouldn't the system keep going? So, you're saying that if a drive starts giving invalid or noninterpretable communications back to the IDE controller, causing the controller to wedge, which possibly brings down the PCI bus on which it's connecte, tied to the front side bus and the CPU, the OS should just continue? On what? I guess you make a good point: the fact that the system wedges, points to something other than the drive. Still, it's always the same drive that quits...

Your missing the point that when portupgrade fails to upgrade the dependent ports, it doesn't really matter because it has preserved copies of the old libraries. That allows software built against the old and new versions to co-exist until the underlying problem is fixed. I use portmanager myself, but no upgrade utility can guarantee that any port will build. I got into this problem myself - I couldn't start KDE. I got out of it by deleting gettext, reinstalling the old version with pkg_add -r, and re-upgrading gettext with portupgrade. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I too looked at my sysinstall-created labels, and they were all at offset of 0. I actually started writing my own partitioning/labelling tool based on libdisk, as part of a custom install CD I was building, but discovered that it did not support non-disk devices (eg. gmirror)... I started looking at trying to hack support into libdisk to do so (and made some success), but in the end decided that it was probably a task better suited for someone that knows libdisk better than I... As a result I went back to looking at fdisk/bsdlabel to see what I could do using them instead...

I can attest to that -- I would love to see a clear, newbie friendly explanation on disk geometry, and why it is/isn't relevant in this day and age. The big scary warnings sysinstall likes to throw up made me think it must have some significance, but from days of searching/reading, the general gist I came up with is that geometry was a largely obsolete concept (as most things use LBA for addressing, including /boot/mbr from what I could tell), largely only relevant if you have other operating systems on the drive, in which case all OSes needed to agree on the drive geometry in order for the fdisk slice table to make any sense to all of them... In that case, can anyone comment with any knowledge if geometry "fix-ups" are only necessary if the drive is shared with non-FreeBSD operating systems? Or are they important for a drive (non-dangerously dedicated) with just a single FreeBSD slice on it? If they are needed, should some of the sysinstall magic be added to the command line fdisk tool as well (as an option), so it can perform the same modifications if it detects non-sane BIOS C/H/S values? --Antony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Unix systems such as FreeBSD do not usually do an actual 'format' in the way we used to think of Format. When you do a newfs on a FreeBSD partition it is creating a filesystem by writing file system tables and copies of those tables in specific places across the partition. It makes use of the low level format that is already put there by the manufacturer. I don't really know how much of that MS does when it builds an NTFS file system. jerry > > Can someone here offer some in depth information on this for me?

By default, Windows will do a full format - in effect, will write zeroes all over the drive, with the intent of checking if the drive is capable of it. Unix format (newfs) will only initialize file system structures - in effect, will write out (initially empty) file tables to the drive. This takes about 5-10 seconds on 250 GB drives, so 3-5 minutes you got is way too much. There's no way of making newfs to the "checking" phase; there are separate utilities for that. Wow, I guess so! I did this some time ago and was trying to be conservative in my time table as I actually couldn't remember the exact time. my colleague and I because there such a speed difference in formatting > things (once windows is installed) when choosing between a "Quick > Format" or > a "Full Format". Yes, Quick format will just write the file tables (this is simplified, but you'll get the picture) on Windows, too. Sounds like we were on track. The system just creates the appropriate data structures using newfs and one can use the smartmon Chuck mentioned to keep track of the surface, i.e. looking for disk defects.

By default, Windows will do a full format - in effect, will write zeroes all over the drive, with the intent of checking if the drive is capable of it. Unix format (newfs) will only initialize file system structures - in effect, will write out (initially empty) file tables to the drive. This takes about 5-10 seconds on 250 GB drives, so 3-5 minutes you got is way too much. There's no way of making newfs to the "checking" phase; there are separate utilities for that. > my colleague and I because there such a speed difference in formatting > things (once windows is installed) when choosing between a "Quick > Format" or > a "Full Format".

About file systems and formats
Yesterday while working on a problem at work, a colleague and I were talking about the various file systems and something that I have always wondered on is what are the various file systems doing when a format is being done. For example, at home, my PC has 2 80gb drives. One for Windows and the other for FreeBSD. It took Windows nearly an hour (give or take) to format the 80gb drive. On the other hand, it took FreeBSD little more than 3 - 5 minutes to format its 80gb drive. Both drives are similar in capability. They are both 7200 rpm drives, etc. So what is so much different about NTFS from FFS?

I have had problems in the past getting 'portupgrade' to properly update all of the dependencies required when doing a major update; i.e., 'gettext'. On the other hand, I have never had a problem using 'portmanager' provided I used the '-p -f' flags. Portmanager can update its list of ports that need updating on the fly. I do not believe that either portupdate or portmaster have that ability. I noticed that when doing the 'gettext' update, it twice recalculated the number of ports that needed to have their dependencies updated. It would probably behoove anyone prior to doing a massive update to clean out the '/usr/ports/distfiles' directory and possibly running 'portsclean -C -D -l -PP' to insure that any old crud was not laying around. It certainly couldn't hurt. Just my 2 cents. -- Gerard Be careful how you get yourself involved with persons or situations that can't bear inspection. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

FreeBSD X11/GNOME/KDM issue
I am new to FreeBSD and been out of touch with UNIX for a while. I just bought a new system i386 (Intel 3.0 Ghz CPU, 2.0G mem, 500G disk space etc). I think I successfully downloaded the install files and burnt my cds. I think I installed the system OK. I think I installed X11 from ports. I then installed GNOME from ports( Maaan it took so long). I entered into /etc/rc.conf gdm_enable = "YES" ... shut down and loggen in through GDM successfully. Played with it for a while. All utilities showed up fine. I browsed the Internet too. Then I decided to try KDE and installed it from ports (took lng). After install I looged in through GDM. I saw everything KDE brought with it using GNOME interface and read the KDE mannual a bit. Then I used the user administration tab and added myself as a user in addition to root. I also changed kde_enable = "YES" in /etc/rc.conf in place of gdm_enable = "YES" hoping to be able to log back in using KDM. I shutdown and restarted. I got the KDM logon interface but the introduction showed my username I last added, as my default login. I entered root as user but a message came saying "root logons are not allowed." I tried logging in as myself and entered my correct password but I was sent to a window which read : Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation. I clicked OKAY. This took me back to the KDM logon manager. To cut matters short, I have been locked out of my system. how can I get back in? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I searched around on the web a while ago and saw a report (on a firefox bug issue or mailinglist I think) from another FreeBSD user about this. He later followed up to his own post saying that the problem went away after he recompiled ALL of his ports. The thing that was interesting is that he only saw the bad behavior under xfce (what WM are you using, btw?). I'm running xfce 4.4.0 and have the problem, but I haven't gotten around to recompiling everything yet. I may or may not wait for the modularXorg stuff to be committed before I do so... I'm experiencing a similar problem with the GTK file save box. Under fluxbox, the save box starts to grow and shrink horizontally by approx 40% of its size twice per second or so. The only way out of this is to kill and restart Firefox. I don't know if other GTK-based programs are affected though. Another data point: I'm too in the midst of the giant gettext upgrade tango, so this could be temporary, until everything is finally upgraded. I just want to report that I'm no longer having a problem after a complete system refresh. I upgraded to -CURRENT (mostly for better gjournal support, not because of anything in this thread), uninstalled all my ports, deleted the /var/db/ports directory, removed /usr/X11R6 entirely, set $X11BASE to /usr/local in /etc/make.conf, removed everything but a few config files in /usr/local, and installed everything again. Between the firefox issue I was seeing, the gettext upgrade, and upgrading to -CURRENT I definitely needed to reinstall everything anyway. I decided to go ahead and make the X11BASE change so my life will be easier when the default gets changed. (I'm already running the experimental modularXorg ports tree.)

I still don't know if it's possible to get dump and get going... I don't

Anyway I found debug.vfs_badlock_ddb=0 should allow this unattended box

Now I just wonder what would happen if it did...
Futhermore, I got another dump like this and in both case I got to the
conclusion that the userland situation is that cyrus-imapd is receiving
a message which it has to forward to another host. This is probably
irrelevant, but isn't it quite strange that on a busy

You can back everything up with dump(8) Then delete the partition and make two in its place. Then newfs the two new partitions to create filesystems of them. Then restore(8) the parts of the old one you want on to the two new ones. I wonder if it is worthwhile though. Just make two main directories and divide the stuff and don't worry if they are both in the same partition. I am not worried about the data, I want to split /tmp filesystem so I can mount it as /tmp and /var/tmp seperately. Because I want to enable noexec on these and unreachable from each other, it is necessary. The problem was that I use open_basedir with php and session files are in /var/tmp while open_basedir allows /tmp only and programs(like joomla) get confused and say that they cant write to the session directory. But they actually can because session files are created automatically by php, they are just not able to set directory manually. (which is weird thing of php) Programs like joomla and oscommerce etc. work just fine but for example joomla installer complains and my customers tell me that 'joomla says your server is bad' :p But now I think about it again if I put the open_basedir to /var/tmp which gets preset in programs most used by my customers then I should set session save path to /tmp and same problem would occur. Anyhow :) it was a stupid idea... sorry to bother you all with it :) Thanks, Evren ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes, I've always had good luck with this configuration too. I believe the problem is Vista (Home Premium). I can list the resources on my old P3 XP machine just fine with smbclient -L 192.168.0.104 (it asks for a password, which I enter). When I try to list the shares on the Vista box: ===[root] /usr/local/share/apsfilter > smbclient -L 192.168.0.20 Password: smbclient in free(): error: junk pointer, too high to make sense Abort trap: 6 (core dumped) and then I'm stuck :-( I had to hack the registry in the Vista machine in order for it to see and use a share on my FreeBSD hard drive, and that works fine. But since moving from XP to Vista, I can't seem to see or use any shares on the Vista box from FreeBSD (and I have 6.2R now and the versions of samba are noted above). I'm starting to look around samba.org but nothing is popping up just yet. -gerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

route-map and IPFW fwd
Hi all, I think this may be more of a natd question, but I'm not sure. I'll keep this as short as possible, so if anyone thinks they can help, just ask for more info if required. I have a dial-up pool on one interface of a Cisco router, and a DNS server on a subnet on another int. The DNS server is to be re-ip'd (we got our own ARIN allocation and need to return our MCI assigned IP's), so I need to route-map incoming packets from the dun users pointing to the old DNS server IP, to the new one. The route-map on the Cisco works. The fwd on the DNS server properly fwd's the packets sent to the old address to itself on the new address. The DNS server properly formulates it's response, and the client receives said response. The problem is that the DNS server is sending the result back using it's new IP (which is proper), however, a FreeBSD client will drop the packet as it states something to the effect "expecting packet from old.ip.addr.ess, but received from new.ip.addr.ess". I don't know if Windows will barf, but even if it doesn't, I need a proper solution until we can manually have our users change the hard coded DNS server info. Can I force the FreeBSD DNS server to rewrite the src address on the reply packet to the client so it appears as though it's coming from the old IP? I've fooled with natd, but just can't get the configuration right.

Boot the disk1 CD and select the fixit disk. Then run dmesg and look through the output. You are looking for a device whose name looks something like either ad0 or da0 The number [0] on the end indicates which drive device. All of the disk drives on the machine should show up in dmesg. If you are using a raid controller, the names might be something like mfid0 but still include the da0, da1, ... identifiers for the drives used in the raid. In that case you only want to use the mfid[n] identifier and not the individual device names. Is there a reason you need to know the DIOS device numeric identifier?

Re: Can cvs-sup Safely Upgrade a 5.3 System to 6.2?

It should work fine if you fully follow the instructions in the handbook. But, since the system is not yet in production, you may prefer to do a fresh scratch build of 6.2 rather than an upgrade to it. It is likely to leave few artifacts behind. If you do a scratch 6.2 install, then, since it has been a while since 6.2 was released and a few patches have come out since then, you should still do a 'csup' and bring both the system and the ports completely up to the moment. (Note that in 6.2 csup replaces cvsup) You can csup to the RELENG_6_2 or even to RELENG_6 Here is the relevant portion of my supfile. # Command to run # csup -g -L 2 supfile_name # *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default tag=RELENG_6_2 *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ## Main Source Tree. # The easiest way to get the main source tree is to use the "src-all" # mega-collection.

Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Josh Carroll wrote: New to FreeBSD. How can I update my LD_LIBRARY_PATH? There are a couple of ways. First, you can look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the default value of ldconfig_paths. On this 6.2-RELEASE system, it's set to: ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg" So you can edit /etc/rc.conf and append to that list. E.g. if you wanted to add /usr/local/my_libs, you'd put the following in /etc/rc.conf: ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg /usr/local/my_libs" Another possibility, based on a cursory read of /etc/rc.d/ldconfig, would be to add the path to /etc/ld-elf.so.conf (which probably doesn't exist by default). Either way, once you've added your path, you'd run: /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start Which should add the libraries from the added path. Thanks so much for your reply, I was not aware of /etc/defaults or it's contents. Now I know. :-) I was able to correct my issue yesterday with 'ldconfig -m /path/to/libs' which adds the path to /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints. thanks again. --charlie -- Charles Farinella Appropriate Solutions, Inc.
