Just add firewall_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf, choose your firewall type from /etc/rc.firewall and add firewall_type=FOO also to /etc/rc.conf plus write yourself a custom ruleset if you need something other than one of the prepackaged ones. Then reboot and test. However, beware that the default setting without any firewall rules installed is 'block everything via the network', so make sure you've got console access when setting this up. Also, I'd definitely recommend using PF rather than IPFW. Mostly that's personal preference, but I've used both IPFW and PF quite extensively, and IMHO PF blows IPFW out of the water.

Re: Dell 2950: 4GB not seen (amd64; works on other 2950:s)
You need to look closely at the hardware configuration for these servers and their motherboards. Often some memory is reserved for things like onboard video, etc. You can free up that video memory by adding a separate video card, but necessarily other memory that may be used by the motherboard. Unfortunately with dell systems same model's don't necessarily mean same motherboard. Also, how memory is used via the BIOS is dependent on the BIOS version. You should try to be sure all systems you want to compare have the same motherboard and chipset and that these also have the same BIOS version. I'll have a closer look and inquire with Dell what the intended functionality is (hopefully it doesn't turn out to be something that requires Windows/Linux to work around).

Re: Dell 2950: 4GB not seen (amd64; works on other 2950:s)
Derek triggered a thought ... I believe the 2950s have the ability to do RAM RAID1, to increase RAM reliability. If that belief is correct, it could be that you've got 4G physically in the machine, but only 2G logically available to the OS. At least, I think I remember seeing an option like that in a BIOS ... Now that you mention it I do think I recognize that. It would fit with the ~ 2 GB visible memory, but on the other hand the kernel does print the full 4 GB during boot. But will definitely have to look into that.

Increase Disk Size in a gmirror RAID1
Hello. This is my first post onto the list, so please correct me if this is not the correct place. The situation is I currently have a machine running gmirror RAID1 on two 36GB disks. That's all fine and dandy, except that those disks are running out of space (temporarily alleviated through an NFS mount to another machine). What I'd really like to do is upsize the disks on that machine so that it ended with two 73GB disks. The machine only has two drive bays. Does anyone have ideas on how to do this, with minimal downtime and ease? Here's the existing partition scheme for disk da0, which is part of the gm0 mirror: PartMountSizeNewfsPart da0sa1/512MBUFS2Y da0s1bswap4096MBSWAP da0s1d/var4787MBUFS2+SY da0s1e/tmp512MBUFS2+SY da0s1f/usr6144MBUFS2+SY da0s1g/web18675MBUFS2+SY The goal would be a result that adds the new space into the /web partition, or creates a new /web2 partition if adding into the the existing partition is not possible. So something like (noting /web size is not exact below): PartMountSizeNewfsPart da0sa1/512MBUFS2Y da0s1bswap4096MBSWAP da0s1d/var4787MBUFS2+SY da0s1e/tmp512MBUFS2+SY da0s1f/usr6144MBUFS2+SY da0s1g/web48675MBUFS2+SY What I've done so far is to forget da1 from the gm0 mirror, restart, and put the 73GB into drive bay two. But now I'm at bit lost at the process to follow to achieve my desired result. I'm thinking something like fdisk, bsdlabel, newfs on the new da1 73GB drive. Then dd or dump/restore from da0/gm0 to da1. Then shutdown, remove the 36GB da0, put in the second 73GB drive, boot and them get gmirror to sync things from the 73GB drive. I need assistance on how to issue those commands properly to achieve this result. I have a test machine I can do this on, so I will continue to learn/play in the meantime.

The frequency-bands that you are allowed to use without special regulation are country specific. The most commen bands are the ISM bands at approp. 27MHz, 433MHz, 860MHz and 2.4GHz.

Re: xfce 4.4 questions
I told you before. You should not have snapped the ports during the 6.1 installation and you should not have used CD to get Xfce. What you now have is a light version of Xfce 4.2. Metaport probably doesn't work because your port three is not up today or you have some dependency issues in particular related to the fact that you have XOrg 6.9 vs XOrg 7.2. I need some output form the compiler to say anything more about this. My guess is as good as yours. I hope some more knowledgeable says something. The thinks which will not work are auto mounting, CD/DVD players, CD ripping, printing pretty much anything that needs permissions links and enabling in rc.conf file. The Handbook is exceptionally written but you really need to know it to do full configuration your-self. The hand book is also very wide in scope and is not written for particular group of users (Desktop for instance) The following document is also very useful http://www.freebsd.org/ and is mostly written for Desktop users like you and me. It talks about configuring Gnome but the same goes for any full Desktop like KDE or Xfce. The easiest way to configure Xfce is to copy configuration files from FreeSBIE (Based on FreeBSD 6.2) project http://www.freesbie.org/ which uses Xfce as its default desktop environment. You could also use their live CD to check your hardware since if it not working with FreeSBIE it is likely it will need some extra configuration with FreeBSD or it might not work at all (like some audio card of Wi device) I hate to suggest this but if you are finding configuration overwhelming (the fact that you seems unaware of the fact no daemons will work until you enable it in rc.conf file is an indication) you should probably try to install PC-BSD or DesktopBSD versions of FreeBSD. With a little bit luck with your hardware you will get fully functional KDE desktop environment and everything would work out of box. After playing it with couple of weeks you will fill ready to do full customized installation your self or to disable KDE and use maybe some light Window Manager instead. I think Xfce should not have any dependency issues with KDE so you would be able just to turn of KDE install Xfce meta port and have everything working.

At first, I installed Xfce4 from /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4/ (make install clean) after performing a full install, including the ports tree, from the 6.1 Release CD's I downloaded. This installed Xfce4.2, but as I mentioned in my original message, several default features were broken, such as the xfterm menu/options bar (please see original message). Why did I use pkg_add? -- Because after several unsuccessful attempts to install from CD, and doing some research, I thought, why not - the CD install isn't working. What about Xorg, you ask? Well, what do you want to know? Whatever version came with the 6.1 Release is what I'm using. Forget about Xfce4.4 for the moment; if Xfce4.2 AND Xorg came bundled with the 6.1 CD Release, they _should_ be compatible. Btw, I did run through xorgconfig prior to installing Xfce4, before attempting two types of installs: 'make install' locally, and (after a fresh reinstall of the OS) 'pkg_add -r xfce4' as it states in the Handbook. Quick instruction would take only 10 minutes but then you need XOrg and Xfce which will take couple hours to compile. Do fresh minimal installation without X. When the installer ask you about adding port tree you decline. The same when installer ask you to add any of the packages from the second CD. Then after installation cvsup the system and build your world and/or custom kernel as you like it. You will be fine without cvsup and with generic kernel. do portsnap fetch portsnap extract then go to /usr/ports and install XOrg via ports (do not use pkg_add since you will get XOrg 6.9 instead of 7.2) Then go to Xfce 4.4 meta port and do make install clean. You will have complete Xfce which still doesn't mean that all things will work since you need to edit fstab, devfs.conf and rc.conf files Ok. But...what exactly won't work? Where can I find some docs which detail what I have to do with fstab, devfs.conf and rc.conf files in order to _make_it_ALL_work_? Sorry, but the Handbook just is NOT all that clear. Have Fun Predrag P.S. You can not get Xfce 4.4 since you do not even have XOrg 7.2 As I stated in my original message, I really don't care about Xfce4.4 right now; I'll settle for

This means that I have little experience with the binary packages. I suspect that your problems with xfce-4.2 where you are missing some features is due to one of: a) Those features depend on some optional component that you have not installed b) You simply haven't configured xfce4 correctly. c) You misunderstood the documentation in some way. d) A bug in xfce itself. In most of those cases the best place to ask is the xfce developers.

It ain't workin' and I sure could use some help. Full disclosure: I'm new to FreeBSD, although I do have a basic working knowledge of *nix fundamentals. I was able to install xfce 4.2, but the install is broken -- allow me to explain. Xfce 4.2 does install, I can start it, but several features don't work. For example, according to the docs I should see a menu bar (and options) on xfterm, but it isn't there. Several other install defaults are busted too. I've reinstalled the OS several times from a 'minimal' install to 'install EVERYTHING', via the CD, upgrades via sysinstall, via FTP. All were successful). I've installed XFCE4 according to your docs (pkg_add -r xfce4) several times, and from /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 (make install clean), but still the same problems. So, I thought I'd try installing a newer version of xfce (4.4). First question: what is a 'meta port', what does it do and what are it's limitations? A 'meta port' is a port which doesn't install anything itself, but just depends on a bunch of other ports so that they can all get pulled in automatically. Well, as I suspected, but in this case it they don't all seem to be pulled in automatically. What am I missing? Are there any logs detailing the successes/failures? If you install via the ports system, then any error messages should be printed right on the screen. If something does go wrong the exact wording of any error messages will be very useful to figure out what the problem is. Can't find anything in your docs that speak to this (nor any of the books I have, most notably the recent 'FreeBSD 6 Unleashed'). Reading the Ports page of your site, specifically the *xfce-4.4.1_1 http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 *metaport; 'meta' seems to imply run this and you'll install all the basics you need to run XFCE 4.4. Either it doesn't work or I've misinterpreted this. Under xfce-4.4.1, it says: Requires: -- do I really have to install _every_single_pkg_listed_ BEFORE I install the xfce-4.4.1 metaport??? If so, that seems a bit much. Why can't there be a single manifest file which calls/installs all those required pkg's as a part of the metaport installation? In order to install xfce 4.4, do I have to manually install each and every file/port/pkg listed there which references xfce4.4? No,no. The point of the ports system/packages is that all the required ports will be pulled in and installed automatically. Again, to use a local colloquialism: it ain't workin'. Not everything needed is being pulled in as you say -- I need help in determining why.

Re: Increase Disk Size in a gmirror RAID1
So it looks like I came up with a resolution myself on this. Here's a post for posterity or any comments: What I've done so far is to forget da1 from the gm0 mirror, restart, and put the 73GB into drive bay two. But now I'm at bit lost at the process to follow to achieve my desired result. I'm thinking something like fdisk, bsdlabel, newfs on the new da1 73GB drive. Then dd or dump/restore from da0/gm0 to da1. Then shutdown, remove the 36GB da0, put in the second 73GB drive, boot and them get gmirror to sync things from the 73GB drive. So my resolution to upsizing the disk was to utilize gmirror (rather than dump/restore or dd). Here's what I did: 1) Sync the existing smaller disk (da0 / 36GB) to the new larger disk (da1 / 73GB) now in the machine using gmirror. 2) Remove da0 from the gmirror: # gmirror remove gm0 da0 3) Edit /etc/fstab so that after the next reboot it will boot as if only a single disk, instead of the gmirror /dev/mirror . Also comment out: geom_mirror_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf 4) Shutdown and power down. Take out 36GB from drive bay 1. Take 73GB from drive bay 2 and put into drive bay 1. Start the server back up and da0 is now the 73GB drive. 5) Now, since gmirror applied its slice and disklabel partition, checking disk usage shows that the system sees the disk still as a 36GB and the /web partition I wanted to increase was still at 18GB, instead of the 51GB I needed. To fix that I did the following: # fdisk -u /dev/da0 (just following the standard prompts, only needing to change the total byte size from from 71119692 (36GB) to 143363997 (73GB) when that prompt came up) # disklabel -e /dev/da0s1 (updated the disk labels so that c: had the new 143363997 value and so that g: (the /web partition) had the new value 110491549. # umount /web # newfs -U /dev/da0s1g # mount /dev/da0s1g /web 6) Edit the /etc/fstab to restore it to the gmirror style references, instead of single disk. And uncomment out: : geom_mirror_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf Then also: # gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da0 7) Shutdown and power down. Add the second new 73GB drive into bay 2. Restart the server and once booted back in get both bigger drives in sync with gmirror and everything is good to go! # gmirror insert gm0 da1 ... (Caveat) I've only done this on a test machine with no activity and no data in the /web partition. Before I do this on a live server, I'll probably run the whole process again with data in /web and see how it all does.

Re: FreeBSD MBRs
Ivan Voras wrote: Christopher Key wrote: I've a machine with 3 SATA drives. The first (ad8) with a standard FreeBSD install in a single slice with /boot/boot0 MBR. The remaining two drives (ad10, ad12) are in a RAID1 mirror with 3 slices, and used for storing data. They have the /boot/mbr MBR. Ok. Let's call them the first (ad8), second (ad10) and third (ad12) drive After booting off various USB flash drives to try and update the BIOS on my machine, it got into a state where during startup, it would display 'Missing operating system' and hang. What seems to have been happening is that it was trying to boot from one of my data store drives, despite the boot order of the disks set in the BIOS. Flashing the BIOS often resets all settings, including boot order. Depending on your BIOS, controller and motherboard, you might need to first select the active controller, then the drive on the controller. In your case, you need to finally tell BIOS to boot of the first drive (ad8). Another thing that might be happening (though judging from what you said elsewhere it's not probable) is that the changed BIOS code enumerates devices differently than it used to, so ad8 is no longer the drive with boot0. This case will not hurt your RAID if you used gmirror, it might for other systems. The only solution that I found was to start booting from a USB flash drive with a boot0 MBR, and to hit F5 to change to booting from my first drive After this, the machine then reboots quite happily until I hit F5 again, in which case I get the same 'Missing operating behavior'. This persists even while power cycling the machine. Ok, so now you're booting from the first drive, and with F5 you're telling your boot loader to skip it and move on to the second drive, which has the standard mbr (this mbr is what's displaying the Missing operating system message). I had imagined the boot process to be entirely stateless, certainly across power cycles. The BIOS executes the MBR on the first drive in its boot boot. The boot0 MBR then allowed you to either execute the boot sector from any of the slices on the current drive, or to execute the MBR from the next drive in the list. boot0 will by default remember what's the last option you booted from and use it as the default for the next time. It may not be the best thing for you, but I found it to be extremely useful behaviour in several cases, since it allowed me to script a boot order when the BIOS and the disk controller didn't get along for booting. However, this clearly isn't what's happening. Is it boot0 remembering my F5 key stroke, or is it more likely that the BIOS is remembering something? Does anyone have any recommendations to avoid this in the future? Is putting boot0 on all three drives a good idea perhaps? It will not hurt in any case to put boot0 on any drives (as long as you do it with the appropriate utility, else you may destroy the partition table). In your case, it will only be useless. Here's something to try (I didn't try it): Do you have active partitions on the second and the third drive? If so, you might want to unmark them, and hopefully the boot loader won't display the drives in the boot menu. Maybe. Or, if you're seriously worried about hitting F5 during boot, you might try an alternative boot loader such as sysutils/extipl or sysutils/grub. Hello All, Many thanks Ivan, Lowell, Jerry and Alex for your feedback. I've done some experimentation, and had a read of the boot0 and mbr source code, and I think I know what's going on now: When executed, boot0 retains a copy of the partition (slice) table in memory, and in it, marks each slice as being inactive. When you hit F1-F4 to boot one of those partitions, it marks the selected slice as active, rewrites the partition table to the disk, and executes the appropriate boot sector for that slice. If on the other hand you hit F5, it writes the partition table back out *without an active slice*, and executes the MBR from the next disk. In my case, when I hit F5, boot/mbr was executed from my second disk, which displays 'Missing operating system' if there is an active slice but no magic number in the boot sector for that slice. Now, as far as I can tell, when I next attempted to boot my system having hit F5 previously, the BIOS didn't attempt to boot from my first drive because there was no active slice. It instead tried to boot from my second drive, hence giving me the message 'Missing operating system'. Now, when I inserted the USB drive and tried to boot, the BIOS saw the there was an active slice on it, and executed boot0 from it. When I then hit F5 to switch to my first harddrive, boot0 was loaded fro it, and showed its default option as F5, having remembered that from last time. If I then hit F1 to boot from the first slice on that disk, boot0 would mark the first slice as active in the partition table and write that back to

This is for anybody struggling with FreeBSD who might need some encouragement. I wanted to install nxserver from Nomachine.com. There is a port of the sources, along with an open-source implementation of the rest of it. I have been trying to make the ^^%$!!! thing work for [pick a big number. . . any BIG number] of days, and I just couldn't figure out what the double hockey-sticks was going wrong. I tried both the ports and the package installs, but I screwed up the configuration BIG-TIME! I finally decided I had learned too much, and was trying too hard. I decided one more try . . . after all, I'm eventually going to move this installation over to my primary computer and dump windows - - except as a program that runs under FBSD - - and I won't even need it. I gave it one more chance, after hunting down and eliminating every single reference to nxserver, both on my Winblow$ machine and on the FBSD box. I did an install, and then I just fired up the client on Winblow$. First time, it didn't connect, but I don't recall why just now. (I'm two beers into it, and I don't really care why!), but I fixed it, and IT WORKS! I am so excited! Jeez, you'd think I won the Powerball drawing! But to anybody who's struggling, keep struggling. The pay-off is HUMONGUS, in terms of the great feeling of satisfaction you get when something really succeeds. I'm going to try to look at what notes I took (when I sober up), so I can document it and be able to help somebody else. For right now, WHOO-HOOO! I'm gonna open another Bud Lite! Hang in there!

FIFO overflow error
I've been getting a lot of this error on one of my FreeBSD 6.2 boxes. I have 5 other servers running the same configurations as this one and none of them is giving me the error. The only different between this and the other servers is AMD on this one and Intel on the rest. The repeated errors given were: vr0: receive error (0406) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (0407) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (0407) overflow vr0: receive error (0404) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (0404) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (0404) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (0407) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (0407) overflow vr0: receive error (0404) overflow vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: watchdog timeout vr0: rx error (09): FIFO overflow vr0: receive error (1405) overflow vr0: rx shutdown error! vr0: restarting ..

Monitoring CPU usage on multi-core system
Hi again. On a dual-core system, how do I tell how much of each of the CPU cores are in use? Is the CPU usage in 'top' for the two CPUs at once? Is there something in ports (that works without X...) that will give good info? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On 25/08/07 Bill Moran said: If this turns out to be your problem, I recommend using pool.ntp.org. Read up a bit, it should be much more reliable on a consistent basis. Also, OpenNTP has support built in to automatically talk to all of ntp.org's servers without any funky configuration: http://www.pool.ntp.org/use.html The only problem with the ntp pool is that ntp does its best to factor out problems with specific ntp servers, by learning about their quirks over time. An ntp pool where the specific servers that you're talking to change regularly defeats this. Good enough to keep time on my server though, I suppose, since I'm not running a cellular network. :) Mike -- Michael P.
