I believe that there are some limitations on booting FreeBSD from
filesystems bigger than 2Tb, but I know of no limitations on building
non-root filesystems bigger than 2Tb. I have copied Kris Kennaway
and the FreeBSD filesystem mailing list in the hope that someone
can give a more precise answer than me.

Hello,

Wikipedia says that you contributed to development of FFS and I
thought you might give a sure answer to a question about it.
These days I saw a question on freebsd-questions mailing list that was
left without a solution till now [see below].

Is there any chance that FFS can be extended to handle larger disks?

Best regards.

Subject: Installing FreeBSD on large disk 2TB
To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org

Hello

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 on a HP DL320s. This server has a P400 RAID
controller with 12 SATA disk drives attached to it. The RAID controller is
supported in FreeBSD through the ciss driver.

The problem happens when i try to use a RAID larger in size to 2 Terabyte,
then the install program freezes and the machine reboots (it cannot find the
disk). If the array is smaller than 2 Terabytes then there is no problem, the
controller detects the disk and i can install FreeBSD on it. I have tried
with i386 and AMD64 versions (the server has a Xeon processor supported by
AMD64)

Any clue on how to solve it? FreeBSD can't be installed on disks larger than 2
TB?

Thanks

There is a simmilar thread related to filesystems greater than 2TB.
The subject is: Filesystems larger than 2TB

I started the thread and from what I can gather you can not have a
filesystem greater than 2TB on your boot device.
Also you can not use sysinstall to create the partition if it is greater
than 2TB.


The problem happens when i try to use a RAID larger in size to 2 Terabyte,
then the install program freezes and the machine reboots (it cannot find the
disk).


Split your drives.
Make a RAID1 with 2 drives and install
/
/usr
/var
/tmp
swap

The second raid with the rest of the drives you should be able to create the
partition manually, not from sysinstall.


Any clue on how to solve it? FreeBSD can't be installed on disks larger than 2
TB?


As far as I can tell no.

As for creating the partition after you have a working system there were two
methods mentioned.

Was was using newfs against the raw device like
newfs -s /dev/da0s2

The other one involves something called GPT, but seems like it is a more
difficult method and it also seems like there is ongoing discussion about
GPT.

I also think, but am not sure, that it will be easier to have partitions
greater than 2TB when ZFS is incorporated into the OS.

I noticed that when I'm compiling, and a lot of data comes on my remote

6to4 has prefixlen 16 so it is within the broadcast and it's not using the
routes at all when it disconnects, though this doesn't result into a crash,
of the server.

Re: Fresh install won't compile requirement libraries for cvsup

At the same place?  If so, I'd tend to suspect memory rather than cpu.

  I'm wondering if it could be hardware, specifically memory.  I've
  never seen a FreeBSD, OpenBSD or Linux (for that matter) hard hang on
  program compilation apart from hardware problems.  Also of particular
[..]
  System configuration is as follows:
  
  AMD K6 700mHz
  256mb RAM (PC 133)
  13gb HDD

700MHz?  Please show us the line from your /var/run/dmesg.boot showing
the exact cpu and clock.  This will also indicate features  stepping
that should pinpoint the cpu model.  From one 4.10 system hereabouts: 

 CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (400.91-MHz 586-class CPU)
   Origin = AuthenticAMD  Id = 0x58c  Stepping = 12
   Features=0x8021bfFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX
   AMD Features=0x8800SYSCALL,3DNow!
 real memory  = 134152192 (131008K bytes)

That's a K6-2, though it doesn't say so there.  From memory, the fastest
ever K6-2 was ~550MHz, but people did tend to wildly overclock them .. 

As others have mentioned, K6s don't like running too hot.  I nurse two,
the 400 and a 450MHz box that run forever as long as the cpu fan is ok.
And when they do overheat, they'll freeze, but I've never actually seen
one damaged (as opposed to a couple of fried P3s of similar vintage)

If you really are running it at 700MHz (at what bus speed setting?) then
I'd treat it to a new heat sink with fresh thermal paste and a BIG fan.

And sure it's best to run matched-speed memory.  Your BIOS probably lets
you play with wait states and such, but the basic PCI bus speed might be
something weird if you've managed to crank the cpu up to 700MHz ..

Cheers, Ian

IMO having a specific card supported is kind of a problem, because
manufacturers tend to change chip revisions pretty fast, and there are
some subtle difference between these revisions that can render the
card useless - even if the driver supports the chipset.
So make sure you find out what the card is actually based on (atheros,
ral, etc.) and look up the manpage for the driver. Find the card and
check the revision. If your revision is newer than the latest
mentioned one, make sure that you can return the card.

Or: Take your laptop with you. I did it when I purchased my D-Link
DWL-650 from a big discounter. I loaded all available WLAN drivers
into memory (gave a nice for-loop and the laptop lots to do).
Afterwards the salespersons handed me one board after the other and I
checked the console/syslog wether the board was recognised as a WLAN
device.
It was great: I figured I could go with a ral-based card, but it
turned out to be unstable. Next try (yes, I went there again and we
did the procedure all over again) I found the card mentioned above.
And I'm really happy with it. It's stable, and the connection quality
is really good.

On a side note: Having a FreeBSD based Laptop with you in a store
where people know only about Windows is an experience one should have.
They need their time to get used to the idea that there are other
Operating Systems as Windows. And that these don't need graphics to
work. And that there are people out there that can work with a
computer without graphics... ;-D

here in the UK you'd be lucky to be allowed to try even one card in your own

Only reason I bought an Acer is that someone else had already managed to get

improvements in FreeBSD have taken me backwards in terms of understanding over 
the last year.

I got stuck with gstreamer during my xorg upgrade, too, and I decided
to remove everything related to gstreamer, including the applications
that depend on it (vlc, mplayer...).
Makes it easier, IMO.

To figure out what happens to your xmlcatmgr port you should provide

I don't thinks that's needed, my tun0 interface MTU is set to 1492 even
though I've not configured it anywhere. AFAIK it's set automatically
based on negotiation with the ppp peer.

If it's for a server, or you have a compelling need for 4GB then
amd64. If it's for a desktop then I'd suggest i386. 

64-bit server software is mature, 64-bit desktop software isn't.

 This machine I'm having problems with is an AMD K6.

A K6-700?  Without doing too much
flabulous research, I believe the K6
stopped at 300MHz.  A 700 would be
a K6-III, which would not have the
32MB problem.  Flaky and heat-sen-
sitive they are indeed.  And there is
a lot of junk 133 memory out there
too.

Based on my limited experience, about
60% of the time you can run 100MHz
memory at 133MHz. If not you may have
to rejumper your bus-speed to 100.
If you are further unlucky the board
won't have a 7:1 multiplier and you'll
be stuck underclocking pretty seriously.



What is a 7:1 multiplier?

No it did not stop at the same place.  I still suspect memory versus
the cpu, especially considering that, apparently, there were several
generations of the K6.  I didn't know this.  For several years, I did
not have the time or money to play with hardware and therefore lost
touch with much of the hardware that was out there.



  I'm wondering if it could be hardware, specifically memory.  I've
  never seen a FreeBSD, OpenBSD or Linux (for that matter) hard hang on
  program compilation apart from hardware problems.  Also of particular
[..]
  System configuration is as follows:
 
  AMD K6 700mHz
  256mb RAM (PC 133)
  13gb HDD

700MHz?  Please show us the line from your /var/run/dmesg.boot showing
the exact cpu and clock.  This will also indicate features  stepping
that should pinpoint the cpu model.  From one 4.10 system hereabouts:

 CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor (400.91-MHz 586-class CPU)
   Origin = AuthenticAMD  Id = 0x58c  Stepping = 12
   Features=0x8021bfFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,PGE,MMX
   AMD Features=0x8800SYSCALL,3DNow!
 real memory  = 134152192 (131008K bytes)

That's a K6-2, though it doesn't say so there.  From memory, the fastest
ever K6-2 was ~550MHz, but people did tend to wildly overclock them ..


I will provide this info., hopefully tonight when I get home.  I'm
pretty sure this was never over clocked.  It was the secretaries
computer of the church I attend.  I'm working on remaking the system
into a web server as the secretary was just given a laptop.



As others have mentioned, K6s don't like running too hot.  I nurse two,
the 400 and a 450MHz box that run forever as long as the cpu fan is ok.
And when they do overheat, they'll freeze, but I've never actually seen
one damaged (as opposed to a couple of fried P3s of similar vintage)

If you really are running it at 700MHz (at what bus speed setting?) then
I'd treat it to a new heat sink with fresh thermal paste and a BIG fan.


Ok, sounds good.  I'll see what I can find for this CPU.



And sure it's best to run matched-speed memory.  Your BIOS probably lets
you play with wait states and such, but the basic PCI bus speed might be
something weird if you've managed to crank the cpu up to 700MHz ..



How do wait states relate to memory speed?  Please enlighten me.  I
have an idea, but I'm only theorizing, I'd like to know what it really
means.  If it's more in depth than one would like to type in a
response, sending a link is fine.  I learned quite a bit on the Sig

Re: Installing FreeBSD-6.2 Xorg-7.2

  I have had nothing but grief since updating to the new Xorg-7.2

  Now, I was wondering how this would work.
 
  1) Download a fresh ISO of FreeBSD-6.2 on to another PC
  2) Erase my HDs on the PC presently running FBSD
  3) Reformat the HDs
  4) Install the fresh copy of FBSD
 
  Will that give me a system that I can directly install Xorg-7.2 on to
  or do I still have to go through the procedure shown in the UPDATING
  file? Suppose I install Xorg-7.2 doing the actual install of FBSD;
  will that make any difference? In any case, I would build a new kernel
  ASAP after the new install.

 That should work fine, as long as you remember to run mergebase.sh on the
 new system. It's counterintuitive and won't have much work to do, but it
 will do useful things like create the /usr/X11R6 - /usr/local symlink and
 change some defaults in /etc so (e.g.) rc.d and periodic scripts won't run
 twice.

 If it's just your ports you're trying to refresh and don't have any worries
 about your base system, you could also try something like this:

 0) Back up your entire system. Also make a note of what packages you have
 installed (pkg_info  /root/pkg-list.txt, for example).

 1) Delete ALL ports from your system. I find it's most efficient to do
 something like this:
   a) make backups, esp of files in /usr/local/etc
   b) # pkg_info | awk -F ' ' '{print $1}' | xargs pkg_delete -f

For the archives, this works better with xargs -n 1 in place of xargs 
above.

JN

   c) review remaining files under /usr/X11R6 and /usr/local, if any
   d) # rm -r /usr/X11R6/* /usr/local/*

 2) Update your base system. csup, buildworld, etc.

 3) Update your ports tree. portsnap, etc.

 4) Run mergebase.sh
   # sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh

 5) Reinstall everything you want installed.

 I doubt this could be a hardware related issue although is memory size 
 related.
 
 
 Finally find cause but no idea why -- in kernel configuration, 
 following line causes the problem:
 
options MAXDSIZ=(2097152U*1024)
 
 Can anyone explain why this can cause /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not seen 
 for some program?
   
 
 This is setting aside 2GB for malloc which leaves only 1GB for all of mmap 
 and 
 stack.  You probably don't have enough address space to map your binary.
   
  This does not quite explain the problem. 
  First of all, the MAXDSIZ is the maximum size for users to set their own 
 datasize limit by 'limit'
  utility.  If user do not set a high limit for datasize, it should not be a 
 problem.

UTSL.  By default proc0 gets a hard limit (lim_max vs lim_cur) of MAXDSIZ,
and the max limit is what the ELF image activator in the kernel uses when
figuring out where to mmap the runtime linker:

/*
 * We load the dynamic linker where a userland call
 * to mmap(0, ...) would put it.  The rationale behind this
 * calculation is that it leaves room for the heap to grow to
 * its maximum allowed size.
 */
addr = round_page((vm_offset_t)imgp-proc-p_vmspace-vm_daddr +
lim_max(imgp-proc, RLIMIT_DATA));

  The second aspect also counters this assumption, for machines that have less 
 than or equal to
  1 GB memory, and setting the MAXDISZ = the maximum memory size will not 
 cause such problem.
  For example, if the physical memory size is 512 MB, and setting 
 MAXDSIZ=(512*1024*1024)
  will not cause this problem. Or if the physical memory is 1GB, setting 
 MAXDSIZ=(1024*1024*1024)
  will not cause the problem either.

Umm, the amount of physical memory has no bearing on how the virtual
address space for userland is laid out.  Do you know what virtual memory
is and how it works?  Your first e-mail seems to contradict this paragraph
as in your first e-mail you noted that the physical memory doesn't matter,
the solution was to not raise MAXDSIZ higher than 1GB and that is consistent
with running out of virtual address space due to MAXDSIZ reserving too much
address space for malloc().

What Chuck said about disabling|securing mod_proxy and PHP, for sure ..

But in most cases you chopped off the most important information; the
HTTP code indicating apache's response to the request.  On those last
two, 200 indicates apache served a page of 7036 bytes.  If that's the
served size of your home / page then you've little to worry about.

40x responses indicate refusal; page not found, permission denied etc.
Here at least weekly I see such as:

220.137.74.222 - - [12/Jun/2007:02:07:08 +1000] CONNECT
msa-mx10.hinet.net:25 HTTP/1.0 403 272 - -

403 = Permission denied.  In this case, because I disallow 'no referrer'
plus 'no browser' (- -) connects from non-local addresses, blocking
heaps of rogue robots, but CONNECT requests don't work anyway in apache
1.3 in default configuration .. older logs show 405 responses to these.

222.141.50.175 - - [21/May/2007:23:46:01 +1000] GET http://www.baidu.com/
HTTP/1.1 200 3847 - Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows NT)

In this case, apache served (200 response) *my* home page (3847 bytes)
on all such would-be proxy requests.  Not a problem.

  122-124-129-55.dynamic.hinet.net - - [10/May/2007:18:29:38 -0400]
CONNECT
  220.1

FWIW, nearly every CONNECT request here for the last 2 years has been
for or from some hinet.net host or other.  They're well up in the top 10
spam sources too, so I won't see any mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] complaining!

2007-06-13 Thread Richard Lynch
Thanks to the fine folks here, I've gotten periodic.conf to only
output messages I need to know, *except* for this one:

Security check:
(output mailed separately)

I've looked through /et/defaults/periodic.conf, Google a fair amount,
and am still coming up empty with a setting to suppress that one...

I'm probably just being stupid (again) but what am I missing?

It lists all available drives mount points and then some, e.g. fd0, da0,
da01, da01s, da0s1a, da0s1b, da0s1c, etc., etc.  None of which mounts.
Below is my /etc/fstab.  So obviously da0s1a or /dev/da0s1a should mount.
But it doesn't.  I had to go into the loader prompt, unload the kernel, load
the old kernel and that booted the system.  Now I've restored the backup
copy of my /etc directory from /var/tmp/etc and I re-ran a new buildworld
and buildkernel.  Now I'm about to go and do the installworld and
installkernel.   But I'm hoping to get a better understanding of what
happened before I do.

Hi Bob, please learn how to quote in a reply to a message - it's pretty hard to

 My question
 is why is apache servicing a request for \x04\x01, this is not a valid
 request in first place.

maybe if you show us your apache config it would be easier to figure out what
you allow or not. To make it simpler, the DEFAULT config in apache (with no
mod_proxy) is quite secure wrt access to / . 

 You wrote because I disallow 'no referrer'
 plus 'no browser' (- -) connects from non-local addresses, blocking
 heaps of rogue robots
 Could you give me a example of the httpd.config coding you used for this?
 These denied requests get logged in the access.log, I would think they
 should be logged in the error.log.

well, they are not an error from apache's POV, are they? they get served OK :)
therefore, access. (the fact that you dont like it doenst make it less correct
for Apache ;)

Worth,
that doesnt mean much - drives can (and do) fail anyway. I suggest you run
smartctl ( sysutils/smartmontools ) to run tests on your drive and ensure you
don't have any actual problems with it

btw, you don't mention from what version you had upgraded to 6.1. Did you do a
full world upgrade as well as kernel?


from your previous email, you ended up having some kernel build problems.
1) it is good practise to rename your kernel file (and ident line inside it)
from GENERIC once you've modified it. It makes it obvious to see whether you
are truly running the same GENERIC as everyone else.

2) make sure you have the latest and proper code for your line of src you need
(eg, -STABLE , or RELEASE-p5 ,etc). You should use cvsup for this. If you need
them, the default config files are in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ .

OpenOffice 2.2 dies under XFCE 4.4

2007-06-13 Thread Norberto Meijome
Hi all,
all of the sudden, i'm having problems with openoffice. I'm using 2.2, 
installed from packages downloaded from the official packager. The time to 
crash crash changes depending on what is done:

  - Writer seems to work the longest (by a few seconds)
  - Calc dies right away
  - the common interface stays on until I open a menu (or close it, if opening 
didnt crash)... v strange.

What may be :
Interestingly enough, if I run an XNest session from within my XFCE and log in 
as another user, also under xfce 4.4, it has no problems at all.
Same user, xfce4.4, default X server, OO dies.
My account using twm, works fine. (twm under xnest works fine too).
I haven't got another gnome-based WM at hand to test with.

What is not (i think) :
I've built the whole thing locally (sigh) , but the same thing happens. I've 
tested the locally built package on another machine (also using xfce4.4) and 
the same thing happens. Both machines have ATI cards and are up to date in all 
their packages. Both are running somewhat modified kernels based on 6.2-STABLE 
(with no problems at all kernel-level).
I thought it was related to new java libraries (refuted), glibmm update 
(refuted). I can't think what else has changed between last night and this 
morning in my computer(s).  Everything else in the system(s) is working fine.


So I guess I'm onto something...i just don't know what yet :-D

I've done a full 
ktrace -i openoffice.org-2.2.0 
and dumped the text version of it at 

http://www.meijome.net/files/freebsd/oo_20070614 

(2 MB compressed, 8 MB uncompressed). OO is exiting with 0x4E , but i cant 
figure out what it means or what's causing it.

Any clues, anyone? :)
thanks!!

Hello,

Video Output is supported by the X Window System and his drivers, not
really by FreeBSD.

Look at http://www.x.org or in the man-pages like e.g. man 4x sis for
the video output capabilities for the sis-chipsets...

 is there somewhere in kde that i can specify that i want arts to be an

 Applications need to be built with arts-Support, so I guess that this
 is missing on your second box. cd to a directory of one of the ports
 in question, and do a make config to check wether arts-support is
 available and selected, or not.

well, i went into the x11/kde3 port, and did a 'make config-recursive', and
checked over every config file that would come into play during the kde3 build. 
the only one that named anything for arts, was x11/kdebase3.  which, i did an
unisntall, and reinstall of that port with:

[X] ARTSWRAPPER  Suid wrapper for aRts, req'd for realtime prio

but amarok still sees no arts options for putput plugin.  there is also no arts
options in the amarok config.

i love the fact that using ports/packages-6-stable, i can do 30 hours of work in
just a few, but i am secumbing to the notion that i may have to come back and
just rebuild kde the old fasioned way  :(

Hardware can be eliminated by running memtest86 bootable ISOs from the
web site.  A bad sector test on the drives would be less ambiguous
(kernel messages preceeding a panic).  Smart can be helpful.

Overheating CPUs and underpowered/overheated Power Supplies can cause
problems, but they would normally manifest in memtest86+ failures

 that doesnt mean much - drives can (and do) fail anyway. I suggest you run

 btw, you don't mention from what version you had upgraded to 6.1. Did you do a

 from your previous email, you ended up having some kernel build problems.
 1) it is good practise to rename your kernel file (and ident line inside it)
 from GENERIC once you've modified it. It makes it obvious to see whether you
 are truly running the same GENERIC as everyone else.
 
 2) make sure you have the latest and proper code for your line of src you need

Ethernet Card Limitations to Number of Connections?

2007-06-13 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost
Hello All:

Are there any physical limitations to the number of connections
(TCP/UDP) that are determined by the physical interface itself?  We have
a PF load-balancing solution in place in front of a large number of mail
servers and we're considering using the same boxes to front our Name
Server/Name Resolvers.  I'm concerned that the single uplink port on the
PF box will be overloaded with the number of connections.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

sftp and tab completion

2007-06-13 Thread Dave

Hello,
   I've got a simple question. Does sftp, the one that comes with FreeBSD 
6.2's openssh, do tab completion? I've read that it could, but it isn't 
working here. I've got bash3 set up as my shell which seemed to matter. 
Also, when hitting a backspace in sftp i get a ^h and the command is 
invalidated as a result.

Thanks.

Sure.  Divide the interface speed by the size of the smallest packets  
one can send including ethernet preamble, all headers, and the  
minimal gap between frames.  There's a PDF here with all of the details:


  ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/techreports/2002/645.pdf

...but for 100Mbs full-duplex, you can send up to ~150 Kpps of  
minimum-size packets, or ~8 Kpps for max-sized packets.

A single ethernet card is going to be limited by available bandwidth, and
knows nothing about connections.  As long as you've got enough bandwidth
on the card to handle the traffic, the physical card will be fine.

A single IP address is limited to ~65,000 connections due to the nature of
IP networks.  You can put multiple IPs on a single NIC and increase that
if you need to, but configuring it can be a challenge.

Hope that answers your question.

Just to clarify, that's a limitation on outgoing connections, rather
than all connections.

due to the nature of IP networks.

I think it's more of a stack implementation issue, I don't think there's
any intrinsic reason why two outgoing connections couldn't share the
same port.

 A K6-700?  Without doing too much

The CPU on basically every x86 machine after the original
pentium runs faster than the bus (or memory) speed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Side_Bus

The board will probably have jumpers (though sometimes
boards this old will have bios options) to select Front Side
Bus speed (typically 33, 50, 60, 66, 75, 100, 120, and 133MHz
on a machine of this age) and a second set of jumpers to
select the CPU multiplier.
An old K6-III 450MHz I have here uses a 100MHz bus and
a 4.5:1 multiplier (which alternately might have been marked
9:2) to obtain the 450MHz CPU speed.  A 700MHz CPU on
a 100MHz bus would require a 7:1.  If it really does have a
133MHz bus, it might be set to something like 5.2:1.

In any case, your troubles are likely either bad memory or
a too-hot CPU, the second of which might be something
as simple as dust or a bad fan bearing.

I believe that this is a memory sub-system bug somewhere because

I doubt this could be a hardware related issue although is memory size 
related.


Finally find cause but no idea why -- in kernel configuration, 
following line causes the problem:

   options MAXDSIZ=(2097152U*1024)

Can anyone explain why this can cause /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not seen 
for some program?
  

This is setting aside 2GB for malloc which leaves only 1GB for all of mmap and 
stack.  You probably don't have enough address space to map your binary.
  
 This does not quite explain the problem. 
 First of all, the MAXDSIZ is the maximum size for users to set their own datas
ize limit by 'limit'
 utility.  If user do not set a high limit for datasize, it should not be a pro
blem.


UTSL.  By default proc0 gets a hard limit (lim_max vs lim_cur) of MAXDSIZ,
and the max limit is what the ELF image activator in the kernel uses when
figuring out where to mmap the runtime linker:

/*
 * We load the dynamic linker where a userland call
 * to mmap(0, ...) would put it.  The rationale behind this
 * calculation is that it leaves room for the heap to grow to
 * its maximum allowed size.
 */
addr = round_page((vm_offset_t)imgp-proc-p_vmspace-vm_daddr +
lim_max(imgp-proc, RLIMIT_DATA));

  

 The second aspect also counters this assumption, for machines that have less t
han or equal to
 1 GB memory, and setting the MAXDISZ = the maximum memory size will not cause 
such problem.
 For example, if the physical memory size is 512 MB, and setting MAXDSIZ=(512*1
024*1024)
 will not cause this problem. Or if the physical memory is 1GB, setting MAXDSIZ
=(1024*1024*1024)
 will not cause the problem either.


Umm, the amount of physical memory has no bearing on how the virtual
address space for userland is laid out.  Do you know what virtual memory
is and how it works?  Your first e-mail seems to contradict this paragraph
as in your first e-mail you noted that the physical memory doesn't matter,
the solution was to not raise MAXDSIZ higher than 1GB and that is consistent
with running out of virtual address space due to MAXDSIZ reserving too much
address space for malloc().
  

   No quite clear on this. Does this mean that the MAXDSIZ cannot exceeed
   1GB regardless
   how many physical memory (say 16 GB) is installed? Then, this is
   definitiely a software bug.
   Then, somewhere the following checking is needed:
   #if (MAXDSIZ  1024 * 1024 * 1024)
   #undef   MAXDSIZ
   #define   MAXDSIZ   (1024 * 1024 * 1024)

fsck of large volume with small memory

2007-06-13 Thread Andreas Kuehl
Hi all

Is there any possibillity to fsck a 1.2 TB 40% filled volume with a
machine that has not that much memory, in this case only 1.5 GB.

The fsck gives me a friendly

# fsck /dev/da1
** /dev/da1
** Last Mounted on /fileserver
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 4290901164 bytes for inoinfo

and quits.

While the volume was not that full, fsck had no problems.

Any hint to tune sysctl.conf or loader.conf or the kernel or anything
else to give fsck the needed memory?

I'm not yet at the point to mount readonly, scrap everything from the
disk and repartition the volume to smaller pieces.

Regards
Andreas Kuehl

Muti Gateways

2007-06-13 Thread ossama abdel-haleem
Dear Sir,
we going to design new concept in my company which built on the redundant 
solutions for this we've two WAN connections from two different providers so 
the question here is :
How can I configure  My FreeBSD server to accept and play with two different 
Routers (FreeBSD Server -Router1 = 172.16.1.254   Router2 = 172.16.1.74 )

every Branch Has a router which call the main routers in the HQ (BSD Server) .
when I assigned the default single Gateway on the NIC the half of the branches  
connected so the second part doesn't connect.
we tried to put another gateway IP address but the server hangs (delaying)
what is the problem? what is the optimum solution ? and How by steps please.


Thanks

You need to provide more information about your networking, such as  
whether you have an ASN and a routable address block, or whether your  
IPs are being delegated to you from your ISP(s).  If so, then you  
ought to look into BGP/EGP.  Otherwise, you might find something like  
carp(4) useful.


However, FreeBSD does not support multiple default gateways-- the  
standard routing table is designed to give one and only one answer,  
based on the destination IP, for where packets should go.  If you  
need more complicated routing, you can use something like the  
openbgpd port, aka http://www.openbgp.org/

You seem to be running 32bit FreeBSD which has a limit of 4GB memory per 
process. fsck_ufs is obviously trying to allocate more (4.2GB) than your 
system would ever be able to provide, so it fails. The only solution in your 
case would be to put the disk (array) in a 64bit system, and running fsck 
from there.

FYI, normally one can increase the memory available to processes with the 
kern.maxdsiz kenv variable, settable in loader.conf. On 32bit FreeBSD it is 
limited to 4G max, but on 64bit FreeBSD it is virtually unlimited. For 
example, I have here an AMD64 machine with 1GB memory, but it has a limit of 
33GB per process. You can see what the current limit is by running 'limits' 
and looking at 'datasize'.

Pieter de Goeje

Hello Chad,

That dependency is optional in mplayer:

  .if defined(WITH_XMMS)
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-xmms
  LIB_DEPENDS+=   xmms.4:${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/xmms
  .else
  CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-xmms

It should be sufficient to turn off Enable XMMS plugin support with

My suspicion is also for the memory.  Due to some laziness on my part,
I'm going to just swap out the PC 133 stuff with the PC 100 stuff that
I have to see if that fixes it.  This PC 100 stuff used to run a
Fedora, and later, an OpenBSD system.  On both I performed builds of
various software.  So, I'm going to give it a try.

2007-06-13 Thread jekillen

Hello;
I have not understood what the request for - - meant. Thank you, 
this as shed a lot of light on it. I
have seen that fairly frequently in my Apache logs. But on one of my 
machines that serves as
secondary name server I also had Apache running to serve a place holder 
site. It was attacked
but voluminous request for that, so much so that it was causing Apache 
to kill processes for
lack of memory. The machine does not have a lot of RAM at its disposal, 
so it was not too surprising.

I do not run Apache on this machine, now, because of that.
I would like to know how do you disallow 'no referrer' and 'no 
browser'? Is this a server configuration
issue? I have not seen mention of this in texts on Apache, nor the 
manual. And queries of the
Apache mailing list yielded indistinct results. I am not running a 
proxy on the public server.
I have shell and ftp access blocked from out side. I am using php as 
application server.
I am running several machines with FreeBSD 6.0 and 6.2 as web servers. 
Only one serves my public addresses.

I am using Apache 1.3.x.
Thanks in advance for guidance.

Interesting.  Any idea why this isn't more obvious?

I guess my mistake was in not trying ri -c.  I'm also not terribly
clear on how I'd have guessed at:
  /usr/ports/distfiles/ruby/ruby-1.8.6.tar.bz2

Something on the ruby site hinted at the
rdoc parser needing the source files,
though I suppose that hardly qualifies
as Easily discoverable guidance.



Thanks much!  It's working now.


No, thank _you_.  I had given up on making

beryl/agpgart/i810/Intel 950 GMA

2007-06-13 Thread Eduardo Viruena Silva


Hello Guys,

I have an Intel 950 GMA video card,
built-in in my computer's motherboard.
My motherboard is D945NT.

I installed FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE, and cvsupdated
it to FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE-p5.

Installed my ports and cvsupdated them.

I found beryl  in /usr/ports/x11-wm, it
seemed to depend on Xorg-7.2

I successfully upgrade Xorg-6.9 to Xorg-7.2.
I also compiled beryl, everything seems to be ok.

..and I have tried to make it work, I give up.

The problem seems to be that X is
trying to find /dev/agpgart, according
to my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: Intel Corporation
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product: Intel(r) 82945G Chipset Family 
Graphics Controller

(II) I810(0): VESA VBE OEM Product Rev: Hardware Version 0.0
(II) I810(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 945G
(--) I810(0): Chipset: 945G
(--) I810(0): Linear framebuffer at 0x4000
(--) I810(0): IO registers at addr 0x5010
(==) I810(0): Write-combining range (0x5010,0x8) was already clear
(II) I810(0): 2 display pipes available.
(II) I810(0): detected 7932 kB stolen memory.
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)
(WW) I810(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available
for allocation.  Using pre-allocated memory only.
(--) I810(0): Pre-allocated VideoRAM: 7932 kByte

I have seen beryl working on Gentoo Linux,
/dev/agpgart is present in an identical system,
and it seems to me that it is not a problem
of memory allocation.

so...

What do I have to do to create /dev/agpgart?

My kernel has

device  agp

present.

Thank you in advance.

 Eduardo.

Hi Nikola,
thanks for the info. I agree, I have been using -STABLE since the 6.0 release 
days with OO and XFCE with no problems at all, it just started yesterday.

I thought that it could be related to having 2 java VMs installed 
(linux-blackdown-1.4, which I use as plugin for linux-firefox, and 
diablo-jdk-1.5 for everything else) - that's the setup in my laptop. But my 
other PC has only diablo-jdk and has the same problem. I dont have any related 
libmap.conf configurations that may/should affect this.

[LoN]Kamikaze's reply solved the problem - see my next post :)

thx!

 Try setting OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to kde or none. This seems to be a GTK related

Mate, thanks ! this solved the problem - the UI elements in OO have now lost 
their distinctive gtk theme look, but that's fine with me . I just wonder what 
has changed over the last few days in my machines to have this problem,after 
all this time with no issues at all.

can not add a partition

2007-06-13 Thread Stevan Tiefert
Hello list,

I left a little bit space left in my slice during the installation. Now
I wanted to use this left space to create a gbde-partition.

When I use sysinstall and create in menu Label a new partition and I
hit W to write my changes to disk an error appears, that label didn't
created the partition I wanted.

My question is why can I not add a partition in my existing slice? On
what should I take care maybe?

sysinstall, while functional, is quite slow
and clumsy.

Assuming your disk is /dev/ad0, try:
% bsdlabel ad0s1
(this won't modify anything)

The out put should resemble:
# /dev/ad0s1:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
 a:  209715204.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 b:   995328  2097152  swap
 c: 200440800unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit
 d:  2594816  30924804.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 e:  2097152  56872964.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
 f: 12259632  77844484.2BSD 2048 16384 28552

If I had any room left here (I don't) I could
# bsdlabel -e ad0s1
and add the line:
g: * * unused 0 0
at the bottom, which would cause bsdlabel
to dedicate any remaining space to partition
g and do all the offset calculations for me.
(If you are unfamiliar with vi, you can type
setenv EDITOR ee
(or export EDITOR=ee if you use bash (ksh
should take bash syntax, I think.  You're on
your own with zsh)) first.)
And then
# newfs -U ad0s1g

Note well that you can only have a-h, as I
believe the eight partition limit still holds
under bsdlabel.

People don't have a GTX8800 to have it just 'work'

Personally I think it's very bad FreeBSD is not supported by nVidia,
like f.i. solaris is.
I don't want to write in favor of solaris, mind you, but it _is_ very
nice to have Xorg-7.2 installed (both 32 and 64 bits) and a working 32
_and_ 64 bits native nVidia driver with it.

I have used FreeBSD for years and still hate to see this lack of
support by others :-(
