RAID 1 failure
Hello.. Hope there is some one out here can fix my problem. I have fresh installed FreeBSD 7.1 on my IBM system X3100 server (2 160GB hard drive), I have decided to do a RAID1 by using the steps on the handbook : http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html as the site stated you have to enable the loading of the geom_mirror.ko kernel module during the system intialization by putting #echo 'geom_mirror_load=YES' /boot/loader.conf UNFORTUNATELY, I forgot that steps now I'm facing a problem how to correct it where in after I restart the machine the system refuse to boot, I'm stack on this loading: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Default:F1 BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.02 Consoles: Internal video/keyboard Bios drive C: is disk 0 Bios drive D: is disk 1 Bios 631KB/2094592KB available memory FreeBSD i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 (r...@logan.case.buffalo.edu Thu Jan 1 09:55:10 UTC 2009) Loading /boot/defaults/loader.cof Do you have any idea how to do it?

If you have set up your own cron jobs, then you'll have to be careful to redirect all output /dev/null 21 or else set a MAILTO variable in each crontab directing any output to an address that won't send mail outside the specific box. Perhaps something aliased to /dev/null even.

Did you add the rules needed to let CARP traffic in and out of the boxes? ipfw denies everything by default. So, you have to explicitly let CARP traffic through.

Hi, All I want to install ipsec-tools in FreeBSD6.3. I click command make install in directory/usr/ports/security/ipsec-tools/, and i select all packages in prompted window. while the installation failed, because the kernel do not support one package.

RE: RAID 1 failure
You could download the live cd Start the computer and insert the boot cd. After it is done with booting select the option fixit and then Live cd. It will ask for the live cd. Then do the following # chroot /dist # mount_devfs devfs /dev From version FreeBSD 7 You miust use mount -t devfs devfs /dev # gmirror load In the following command replace gm0 and s1a to the name of your mirror and the name of your / slice. If you followed the howto it should be as follows # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt # ee /mnt/boot/loader.conf Now you can edit the loader.conf file on your mirror. So add the line: geom_mirror_load=YES now exit ee and exit the livecd # exit # exit Shutdown the installer, and reboot your system. Regards, Johan Hendriks No virus found in this outgoing message.

What you said in the above command line is that the copy is to be done one 512-byte block at a time - i.e. read 512 bytes, write 512 bytes, repeat. As common flash memories have large flash blocks (32 kB - 128 kB), you're actually rewriting the whole large flash block by writing small blocks of data. For example, to fill a 32 kB block by writing 512 bytes at a time, the whole block will be rewritten 64 times. Use a bs=1m argument next time. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If you have set up your own cron jobs, then you'll have to be careful to redirect all output /dev/null 21 or else set a MAILTO variable in each crontab directing any output to an address that won't send mail outside the specific box. Perhaps something aliased to /dev/null even. Thanks to all who responded. Not only do the methods do what I wanted, I also have quite a bit of flexibility. Cheers!

libspectre - libgs = 8.61 problem
Morning All: While installing the kde4 port, I got to libspectre. The libspectre port insists that I must have libgs to compile it. After a little research, I found that this is a ghostscript library. So I installed the ghostscript-8.63 port. noe, libspectre insists that I have to have libgs version = 8.61. I checked /usr/local/lib and found the following: ls -l libgs.* libgs.so - libgs.so.8.63 libgs.so8 - libgs.so.8.63 libgs.so.8.63 So I'm guessing there's a problem in the configure script, but if there is, I can't find it. Then again, maybe I'm just missing something simple. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks.

The autodetection of the screen (21 CRT) leads to stupid values that are completely unusable. The screen is located far from my office so I can't be in front of it to test, that's why I haven't spotted it wasn't working. I tought it was because when i take a screenshot with 'scrot' i get a full screenshot in 1366x768 and everything is clean, but the TV itself shows a 1280x720 display. I should've watched the Xorg's log instead of simply assuming it was working with a screenshot, but anyway now my problem is the same : The PC is configured in 1366x768, but the TV don't care and shows a 1280x720.

imap on freebsd7
I want to access a mailbox on a FreeBSD7 server via IMAP from Outlook 2003. I had a setup for accessing a mailbox on a Solaris server via IMAP from the same Outlook 2003.

You can grovel through /bin /usr/bin to see what programs base installed. I guess you're looking for an SQL database so you could give databases/sqlite34 in ports a look but it's a bit difficult to recommend anything without knowing your needs. thanks in advance for any info Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FreeBSD 7.1 on Dell PowerEdge 850
Just wondering if anyone is running FreeBSD 7.1 on a Dell PowerEdge 850 with SATA raid, I have 5.4 installed on one now, because there was a problem with the Intel ich5 sata chipset on 6.x branch at the time I built the server. I don't remember the error message, but I believe the problem had something to do with the chipset not returning a command that FreeBSD was waiting for so it would hang on boot trying to mount the hard drives. It was quite annoying though in that the entire installation runs but then it fails to boot after the restart. Which is why I was hoping someone else could tell me if FreeBSD 7.1 will run before I wipe out the existing 5.4 installation. In case it helps here is the output about the chipset from pciconf -lv pc...@pci0:30:0:class=0x060401 card=0x0050 chip=0x244e8086 rev=0xe1 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801BA/CA/DB/DBL/EB/ER (ICH2/3/4/4-L/5/5R), 6300ESB Hub Interface to PCI Bridge' class= bridge subclass = PCI-PCI Thanks, Dean Weimer Network Administrator Orscheln Management Co. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail
Hiya Nikos, re list, Hm, the promiscuous mode must be needed for the vlan driver. But you don't have to set it. It does not work without, at the router end. Suspicions, please see below. I can't think of any implication in a switched ethernet environment. It is just that every frame received from the cable is offered to the operating system for further evaluation. In a switched ethernet environment every frame that will reach your card will be either: 1) for you. 2) a broadcast frame. 3) a multicast frame. And hence there should be no (notable) effect. That is my interpretation, yes. Things would be very different, if your system was connected to a hub where a multitude of frames(every frame on the ethernet) would be interrupting the kernel for no reason. Exactly. But I connect to a switch and hence expect the behaviour detailed above. Now, it is my suspicion that the apparent need for promisc at the router end indeed is an apperent one and not really the router's fault but rather the other end's. The other end, in this case, is the server below. If the server, with its single MIB, default-routes its packets through one specific of its vlans which may not be the one, at the router's end, with the corresponding IP network the traffic entered into the net, would it be possible that there's something preventing them be received? Unless there's promisc on, of course... I'll grab the laptop next time I think of it and have the switch monitor traffic to it to see what really is on the wire, maybe that helps and gives me a clue. I just keep forgetting the bl**dy thing each time I leave... - On my server, is there any way to set up individual default routes (to the router) for each of the vlans short of tucking the ezjails behind the vlan interfaces each into their own FIB (btw,. has anyone ever done that?)? Yes, from FreeBSD-7.1 and beyond, there is support for up to 16 routing tables. Use the setfib command to select routing table for outgoing connections. So, I interpret your response as that I am correct, I have a single default route per FIB, and that's it. Which effectively means that I do need FIBs. I agree that this behaviour might make some sense :) Something like, setfib 10 jail $JAILOPTSANDARGS, in the jail case. You have to compile a kernel with the option ROUTETABLES=n. Read the message for revision 1.1485 from here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/conf/NOTES I have seen that section as a separate posting [1] which is why I suspected to possibly be able to resolve my issues above with it. It is my intention to insert 4 to 8 FIBs asap but I currently don't know when I take my time doing so. Generally speaking, or rather, inquiring, has anyone ever done FIBs with ezjail? It probably is very easy, and I consider(ed) looking into it myself but I currently spend about max. an hour every 2-3 days on FreeBSE so I don't really progress. Well, might eventually, but that'll be dunno when. But well, such is life, and this is pleasure not work :) and I hope to learn something useful on the way. Thanks a lot, and All the best, Peter.

Re: renaming user account?

You can use tools like the Midnight Commander, function Meta-?, to search files for the old user name (or use find + grep). Eventually, check system's mail aliases file, if you had this user setup to receive mail (e. g. from night jobs). It's somewhat better suited for use in scripts than use by humans. :-) -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: RAID 1 failure
Hi..I followed what Johan Henriks post BUT when i type a command #mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a/mt I get this error: fstab:/etc/fstab:0: No such file or directory fstab:/etc/fstab:0 No such file or directory mount:dev/mirror/gm0s1a/mnt:unknown special file or file system when I go to the directory /dev/mirror then issue ls, heres the filename inside the directory gmo gmos1 gmos1a gmos1b gmos1c gmos1d gmos1e gmss1f I think there is a miss type (typo) in my part during I followed the HOW TO,in which incase of writing 0 i wrote letter o..am I write? but how do i resolve this? Thanks for the reply... FreeBSd ROcks all the time 2009/3/18 Johan Hendriks jo...@double-l.nl You could download the live cd Start the computer and insert the boot cd. After it is done with booting select the option fixit and then Live cd. It will ask for the live cd. Then do the following # chroot /dist # mount_devfs devfs /dev From version FreeBSD 7 You miust use mount -t devfs devfs /dev # gmirror load In the following command replace gm0 and s1a to the name of your mirror and the name of your / slice. If you followed the howto it should be as follows # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt # ee /mnt/boot/loader.conf Now you can edit the loader.conf file on your mirror. So add the line: geom_mirror_load=YES now exit ee and exit the livecd # exit # exit Shutdown the installer, and reboot your system. Regards, Johan Hendriks No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: RAID 1 failure
