Default file permissions
I have a server running Azureus to download torrent files. The Azureus directory is accessible to other computers using samba. Azureus dumps it's completed files with the 644 permissions, making them writable only for the owner. As far as I looked, Azureus cannot be configured to dump it's files with different permissions. Is there any way to apply a Inherited file permissions on a specific directory? (i.e all files created on this folder will have a specific permission set, unless specifically changed by some application) I prefer doing this with the classic permission system, rather then using ACLs.

help with MY Book external drive
I just purchased a WD MY Book external USB disk, I reformatted in UFS and created a filesystem with sysinstall. I was able to put data on it successfully, however overnite I had a power failure. Now I am unable to mount the drive. The blue light is on, so it seems to be getting power but the computer does not see it when I plug in the USB cable. I can not run fsck because the system says /dev/da0s1d no such file or directory. I tried da0s1, da0s1c, and da0s1d no luck. I also tried to plug the disk into another machine, same thing the disk is not recognized. Is it totally gone?Any help to recover this disk would be really appreciated.

PGP: 4BD6C0CB | Hi Jeremy: No messages from the kernel, nothing when I plug it in. Then chances are the ATA-to-USB or SATA-to-USB controller that is internal to the hard disk enclosure is dead. It is not making any 'clicking' sounds that you usually get when a drive dies. Clicking is in no way shape or form usual for a drive failure; it's just one of the hundred ways a drive can fail. Most drives I've seen in the past 5 years fail silently. I just don't get it. Maybe a power spike crushed it, but if so why is the light on? This is really something you should be asking Western Digital. :-) What makes you think the power LED is at all related to the hard disk being functional? The power LED could be directly wired to the AC power supply, in which case it just indicates the PSU works, and tells you nothing about the status of the drive, or the controller that interfaces with the drive. Your options as I see them: 1) Call Western Digital and get a replacement MyBook; you will very likely get a new MyBook, and your old hard disk/data will be gone permanently, 2) Purchase a replacement MyBook. Open it up, open yours up, and swap the hard disks (e.g. your hard disk inside of the new MyBook enclosure). This will void your warranty on *both* MyBook products, but will help determine if just the ATA/SATA-to-USB controller is shot, or if the hard disk is shot, 3) Open your MyBook up, and remove the hard disk. Attempt to hook the disk directly to your PC via ATA or SATA; if it's an ATA 2.5 disk, you may need to buy an adapter to make it work with standard 40 or 80-pin IDE ribbon cables (make sure you note which is pin 1! Some of those adapters are non-keyed, so you could end up sticking pin 40 where pin 1 is, and destroy the PCB entirely) I hope this situation has introduced you to the world of backups, and why they need to be performed regularly. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Under Linux it's supported by the garmin_gps driver but there's no equivalent for FreeBSD yet. Sorry, it turns out that's wrong: the gpsbabel developers recommend not using garmin_gps because apparently it often doesn't work. Instead they recommend using gpsbabel's 'garmin' input/output format. It interfaces to the device using libusb - which, fortunately for us runs on FreeBSD! I've just successfully read back GPS data into a GPX file using gpsbabel on FreeBSD 8-CURRENT and the 'usb2' usb stack. I don't know if it'll work with the usb stack that's in shipping version of FreeBSD though, and even with the new stack I had to make a change to libgpsusb.c in gpsbabel to get it working. The best way to help fix these problems are: A) Submit a patch for the changes you made. B) Contact the maintainers and provide them with all of the details, what you found, what didn't work, what you modified and the final results. If you have traces or data captures, they may want to see them. They can't fix problems they don't understand. If they don't have access to that hardware, or something similar, they might even ask you to do some experiments for them to extend their knowledge. All of that will help them improve the quality of future releases. It looks like it may be a bug in libusb20 or the usb2 stack. I've sent an email to Hans and freebsd-usb@ and will see what they think. I very much suspect it's not a bug in gpsbabel itself because USB_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS_MASK must exist for a reason, and removing the masking was just a hack to get things working just now. -- Bruce Cran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, there is only one journal - for /dev/mirror/umgah0 and it is named /dev/mirror/umgah0.journal. Anything else is just a bsdlabel partitions, there are four of 'em. [umgah] ~ mount /dev/ufs/umgah0root on / (ufs, asynchronous, local, noatime, gjournal) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, asynchronous, local) /dev/ufs/umgah0var on /var (ufs, asynchronous, local, noatime, gjournal) /dev/ufs/umgah0usr on /usr (ufs, asynchronous, local, noatime, gjournal) devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local) And yes, mirror autosynchronization is turned off, gjournal takes care of that too. It's not stated in manual, but gjournal is typically transparent for any type of access, just in case of UFS file system is marked as journaled so any metadata writes can be distinguished from data writes. Without that gjournal does literally nothing. And what does this mean for your swap partition? Just nothing, it's just swap. It can't be journaled. Laszlo Nagy wrote earlier: Another tricky question: why would you journal a SWAP partition? Volodymyr, does your assertion that gjournal does nothing when a file system is not UFS mean that there is no penalty with regard to your swap partition despite the existence of mirror/umgah0.journalb? I haven't seen any perfomance decrease in this configuration. And according to manual and articles about gjournal it should work this way. Any chance you'd like to share your command sequence for constructing your gmirror'd and gjournal'd filesystem, Volodymyr? :-) If we have two disks (ad0, ad1) it should look like this: gmirror label -b load -n umgah0 ad1 We are getting all drive gmirrored without synchronization (we don't need it - journal would take care of any discrepancies) and with load balance (load was fixed not so long ago in stable and should be fine to go with). gjournal label mirror/umgah0 We are creating a journal on top of our gmirror. It eats 1G from the end of the disks and gives us the rest to use. bsdlabel -wB mirror/umgah0.journal We are writing the standard bsdlabel to the disk and making it bootable. After that we will get one partition 'a'. spam Yes, no fdisk. I don't think this old piece of rough junk is ever needed on machine running FreeBSD solely. It just takes space, it requires compatibility to forgotten-and-abandoned standards and gives nothing more. You have your server dual-booting Windows or Linux? This is the only case you need fdisk for. /spam bsdlabel -e mirror/umgah0.journal Now we are splitting our journal to some partitions.

Re: gjournal: journaled slices vs. journaled partitions
Hello, I built a similar setup last weekend on a new home server with two 500GB drives. I didn't want to only put gmirror and have full drives rebuild on power failure/reset on the system. I was told that putting bsdlabels on a gjournal provider wasn't a good idea but I have yet to have an answer about why... I went with this setup anyway and I made some reset tests to see what happens on reboot and everything always went fine. When building this setup I got one big problem. If the root filesystem (/) was on a gjournal provider, an unclean shutdown when data was being written on the disk rendered the system completely unbootable. I got this message: GEOM_MIRROR: Device mirror/gm launched (2/2) GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3672855181: mirror/gma contains data. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3672855181: mirror/gma contains journal. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3868799910: mirror/gmd contains data. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3868799910: mirror/gmd contains journal. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal mirror/gmd consistent. Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm.journal Manual root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices empty line Abort manual input mountroot ? List of GEOM managed disk devices: mirror/gmd.journal mirror/gmd mirror/gmc mirror/gma mirror/gm ad10s1c ad10s1b ad8s1c ad8s1b ad10s2 ad10s1 ad8s1 ad10 ad8 acd0 As you can see, in the proposed list of disk devices devices to boot on, mirror/gm.journala is absent. As I and Ivan Voras, that I contacted about this problem, found, the GEOM_JOURNAL thread that is supposed to mark the journal consistent takes too much time to do it with the root filesystem's provider and the kernel try to mount a device that doesn't yet exist. A bug report has been opened about this problem. For my final setup I decided to put the root filesystem on a separate mirrorred slice of 1GB. Since this slice isn't often written on, not many rebuilds should occur in case of power failure. And I made my power failure test by hitting the reset button while writing data on this filesystem and the rebuild on 1GB doesn't takes too much time (at most 20-30 seconds). Now I have the question. Why the load algorith wasn't recommended? Is it fixed in 7.0-RELEASE-p5? Here is my complete setup that seems to boot correctly every times I made my reset tests while writing data on each filesystems. The 2GB gjournal provider is directly on the mirror provider for all mirrored filesystems exept the root one and I made my bsd labels on the gjournal provider, instead of creating a journal for every filesystem.

Hi Al, thanks for pointing me to safe mode install. That I will probably try tomorrow.

I found that linux UVC driver supports this webcam so I tried to build the UVC driver using the linux-kmod-compat-20080408 and here is what I got: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/hyperwizard/uvc/trunk]# svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/hyperwizard/uvc/trunk]# make -f Makefile.kld Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/home/hyperwizard/uvc/trunk cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -DUSB_DEBUG -DGSPCA_ENABLE_DEBUG -DGSPCA_ENABLE_COMPRESSION -DCONFIG_USB_GSPCA_MODULE=1 -DVID_HARDWARE_GSPCA=0xFF -DGSPCA_VERSION=\01.00.20\ -D__KERNEL__ -DDRIVER_NAME=uvc -DDEV_NAME=\video\ -D_KERNEL -DKLD_MODULE -std=c99 -nostdinc -ISunplus -ISunplus-jpeg -ISonix -IConexant -IVimicro -Idecoder -I/usr/local/share/linux-kmod-compat/linux_compat -I. -I@ -I@/contrib/altq -finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param large-function-growth=1000 -fno-common -mno-align-long-strings -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -mno-mmx -mno-3dnow -mno-sse -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -ffreestanding -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -Wundef -Wno-pointer-sign -fformat-extensions -c uvc_ctrl.c uvc_ctrl.c:19:27: error: linux/uaccess.h: No such file or directory In file included from uvc_ctrl.c:27: uvcvideo.h:473: warning: declaration does not declare anything uvc_ctrl.c: In function 'uvc_entity_match_guid': uvc_ctrl.c:629: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c: In function 'uvc_ctrl_get': uvc_ctrl.c:928: error: 'struct v4l2_ext_control' has no member named 'value' uvc_ctrl.c:934: error: 'struct v4l2_ext_control' has no member named 'value' uvc_ctrl.c:935: error: 'struct v4l2_ext_control' has no member named 'value' uvc_ctrl.c: In function 'uvc_ctrl_set': uvc_ctrl.c:949: error: 'struct v4l2_ext_control' has no member named 'value' uvc_ctrl.c: In function 'uvc_xu_ctrl_query': uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1031: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c: In function 'uvc_ctrl_init_device': uvc_ctrl.c:1326: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1327: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'extension' uvc_ctrl.c:1329: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'processing' uvc_ctrl.c:1330: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'processing' uvc_ctrl.c:1332: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'camera' uvc_ctrl.c:1333: error: 'struct uvc_entity' has no member named 'camera' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/hyperwizard/uvc/trunk.

Re: gjournal: journaled slices vs. journaled partitions
2008/11/4 Volodymyr Kostyrko [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008/11/4 Gabriel Lavoie [EMAIL PROTECTED]: When building this setup I got one big problem. If the root filesystem (/) was on a gjournal provider, an unclean shutdown when data was being written on the disk rendered the system completely unbootable. I got this message: GEOM_MIRROR: Device mirror/gm launched (2/2) GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3672855181: mirror/gma contains data. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3672855181: mirror/gma contains journal. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3868799910: mirror/gmd contains data. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3868799910: mirror/gmd contains journal. GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal mirror/gmd consistent. Just one thing - you have two separate journaled partitions, one journal per one partition. Yes, this is the test setup I made with one journal for / and one journal for /usr. Only an unclean journal on / rendered the journal unbootable. An unclean journal on /usr gave me no problem. If I put the journal on the slice level, with the root filesystem over the journal. Resetting the system while writing data on any filesystem causes the problem as the journal is shared to the root filesystem too. Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm.journal Manual root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype eg. ufs:da0s1a ?

As I and Ivan Voras, that I contacted about this problem, found, the GEOM_JOURNAL thread that is supposed to mark the journal consistent takes too much time to do it with the root filesystem's provider and the kernel try to mount a device that doesn't yet exist. A bug report has been opened about this problem. For my final setup I decided to put the root filesystem on a separate mirrorred slice of 1GB. Since this slice isn't often written on, not many rebuilds should occur in case of power failure. And I made my power failure test by hitting the reset button while writing data on this filesystem and the rebuild on 1GB doesn't takes too much time (at most 20-30 seconds). Good to hear it, i've fallen for that too, but the machine isn't powercycled at all and runs on guaranteed power. I had the similar problems with described setup on virtual test machine too, yet entering anything at mountroot prompt gave gjournal a chance to keep up and needed partition comes up eventually... I didn't reported that, thought it was a virtual machine issue. Same thing here, I had a backup installation on another slice and when I gave this one on the prompt, as soon as I hit Enter, GEOM_JOURNAL was marking the journal consistent. I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one that had this problem. As for my setup. I put / on its own 1GB mirrored slice with auto-synchronization and soft-updates and I put the other filesystems (/home /usr /var /tmp) on a second fully mirrored/journalised slice (with the journal at the slice level), with auto-synchronization on power failure turned off and async mount option. As for the bug report, I consider this is an easily reproductible bug and I hope it will be solved soon! :) Now I have the question. Why the load algorith wasn't recommended?

Does someone has an idea to allow me to use my filesystem in read write mode ? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The tcpdump that you say continues showing packets..are the packets
leaving the freeBSD machine or arriving at the FreeBSD machine.
My guess is you meant leaving the FreeBSD destined for your linux machine.
If this is the case, then the problem most likely lies with the ASA.
If you monitor the ASA's external interface during your testing, do you see
packets arriving? If so, do you see packets leaving the internal interface
going back to your Linux1 machine?

Does the FreeBSD machine run a firewall at all, e.g. pf(4)? If so, you probably have some rules which are broken. (I've seen this problem on FreeBSD 6.x when using rules which are not correctly configured to match initiate state). Also, if a firewall is in use and you're blocking all forms of ICMP, that would impact path MTU discovery. Naughty. You might also try disabling TCP extensions on the FreeBSD box to see if it makes any difference. Note that this can impact performance (large TCP window sizes won't be negotiated), but it's worth disabling for a test case. sysctl net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 If I try to access the Linux2, throught FreeBSD (redirect port on natd or redirect port with rinetd), the same thing happens.

There are linprocfs patches for RELENG_6 too (merging the former commit), but the latter commit can't be merged to 6 (and 7.0) since they lack the cpuset bits, so flash9 probably won't work on SMP there. (Although if you have SMP you probably should be running 7 anyway. :) Oh and if you do have SMP you also need to use the ULE scheduler, the cpuset syscalls are not supported with 4BSD. linprocfs patches for 6: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.3.patchhttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Enox/linprocfs-6.3.patch http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linprocfs-6.4.patchhttp://people.freebsd.org/%7Enox/linprocfs-6.4.patch 2. Your portstree needs to be from at least Sun Oct 19 17:37:28 2008 UTC (the last www/linux-flashplugin9 commit is: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-ports/2008-October/158404.html ) 3. Make sure linprocfs is mounted to /compat/linux/proc . 4. Make sure www/nspluginwrapper, www/linux-flashplugin9 and dependencies are installed and up to date(!). (the default emulators/linux_base-fc4 should work, if you want to use a later one don't forget to set compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 in sysctl.conf and OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT to whichever version you use in make.conf. Note however that on 6, only the default compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 really works.) 5. If the plugin doesnt show up in firefox' about:plugins, run nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and restart firefox. 6. And remember there's a security advisory for the current version of flash9, http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/78f456fd-9c87-11dd-a55e-00163e00 0016.html (if you use portaudit you need to `make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES ...' to be able to install the port), and fc4 seems to be eol'd too, so you probably want to install something like the noscript firefox extension, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 and only allow plugins (and scripts, tho thats a different problem) on sites you trust... And finally, if you still get crashes after following the above even on pages that are reported to work now (like youtube) you probably want to run `ktrace -di firefox...' and look at the output using linux_kdump (thats the devel/linux_kdump port, you want to use a package), paying specific attention to the lines above `PSIG SIGSEGV' (or whichever signal you got), maybe there are still shlibs missing that the plugin needs (NAMI ...something.so...), and if this is the case tell us about it so the appropriate dependencies can be added to the relevant ports. If you can't figure it out I guess it doesn't hurt to post the last few 100 lines of the dump up to the relevant PSIG on -emulation... You may also want to check linked shlibs like this: /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so and /compat/linux/bin/sh /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin (if you see `not found' in there you know something is wrong) - although that doesn't show libs that may be dlopen()d at runtime. Thanks for this. I was able to get linux-flashplugin9 working in native Firefox 3.0.3 on FreeBSD 7-STABLE i386. The only additional thing I had to do was copy /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for Firefox to recognize the plugin. Yeah I forgot to note that you want to run nspluginwrapper -i as the user that will run the native browser, not as root, then the wrapper will go into ~/.mozilla/plugins/... After that Youtube, google video, and google maps (incl. street view) work fine, but slow.

Re: gjournal: journaled slices vs. journaled partitions
Carl wrote: So how do I achieve per-slice journaling instead of per-partition? The docs only says this: gjournal only supports UFS2. It does not specifically say that you cannot have per-slice journaling. However, since you could have other filesystems on your slice, I bet that slice based journaling is not supported. I thought I read somewhere that because gjournal is block based and not really part of the filesystem, that it could easily be extended for any other filesystem. My imagination said that gjournal was probably therefore only temporarily limited to a slice full of UFS partitions. Anyone know for sure? gjournal needs to know what what data is actually metadata. In case of UFS the -J flag given to newfs tells system that using this fs we should mark metadata for gjournal use. Another tricky question: why would you journal a SWAP partition? Well, I don't really want to, but how big does a partition like /var have to be before it's no longer ill-advised to journal it individually? A fair bit of writing can occur in /var and the scenario my server will occupy has me concerned about inglorious shutdowns. What are the actual reasons for why journaling a small partition is considered a bad idea? Journal needs to bee big enough to amass all modifications. By default it's 1G.

Re: Backup Winserver
2008/11/4 Graham Bentley [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi All, Is there anyone using Rsync on windows to backup to a Linux or FreeBSD server? Are the Windows Rsync implementations reliable? I used to do that, the windows rsync client (runs on the top of cygwin) worked well for me. You can use this package: http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp which provides cygwin rsync plus GUI. The only issue I had is with files with non-latin characters in their names, in my case, Hebrew. Once I downloaded the Cygwin UTF-8 dll, which can be found here: http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/ everything seemed to work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Paul,

Can you try capturing the connection setup packets, so we can look at
the TCP MSS negotiation values? Starting TCPDUMP *before* one of the
connections that stall is made should capture that.
There may be an intermediate router or firewall that blocks ICMP and
ends up breaking path MTU discovery. I've seen TCP connections
'stall' when path-mtu was broken by a setup like this and one of the
intermediate routers started dropping TCP packets that were too large
for one of its interfaces.

Since the result set is so big, something else to try may be invoking
the ssh connection with compression on, -C is the flag. THis will allow
us to see if it really isnt working or is just slower than you'd like.
