Hello Karl,

Thanks for the pointer to that piece of code; do you know if there is
some implementation of this into a cmdline tool for splitting a Mbox
based on this Perl methods? Thx

Installer: missing GEOM/gpart capabilities slicing disk?

2009-11-09 Thread O. Hartmann

Hello.
I try to install a fresh new FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 (from snapshot-DVD) on a 
barndnew harddrive. As far as I recall partitioning a disk is now done 
via gpart and the limitation of having only 8 (-2) partitions from a 
through h except b and c is now obsoleted. When dropping into the 
installation process, I realised that the 8 partition boundary is still 
present.
Is there a howto (I searched the wiki and lists without success)? I read 
a lot about how to install FreeBSD on op of a complete ZFS 
infrastructure, but key issue seems to be a hands-on partitioning of the 
target haddrive via the fixit procedure.


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Oliver

 +IGNOREME files are only relevant to installed ports.

 can I force math/py-numpy to accept the already installed

 libraries?
 Thanks in advance for any help!

 The easiest way for you to accomplish this would have been to use '-x
 atlas', the second-easiest would have been to use the -i command line
 option. See the man page for more information on that.

 Congratulations, you've managed to defeat three sets of safeguards in
 portmaster.

 Problem #1

 math/atlas and math/atlas-devel don't have proper CONFLICTS entries in
 their Makefiles (this should be fixed),

 Yes, this analysis was essentially correct.

  Problem #2:

 You're using the -x flag incorrectly.  Or portmaster isn't
 implementing it properly when the port to be excluded is not actually
 installed, take your pick.

 The way that -x is implemented currently really depends on the user's
 definition of the exclude pattern, and is designed to exclude things
 as early as possible so as to avoid what would ultimately become
 wasted effort. It's hard to justify modifying the code to guess that
 something we've already started working on might match what we think
 the user MEANT instead of what they SAID.

 Problem #3:

 The +IGNOREME checks in portmaster aren't properly implemented for
 this case, so they fail to prevent math/atlas from being built.

 s/properly implemented for/designed to handle/

 If you think about this for a second, the entries in /var/db/pkg are
 exclusively related to installed ports, so trying to use an +IGNOREME
 file for this purpose doesn't make sense, although I can sympathize
 with the OPs sense of desperation here. :)

 So what can you do while these problems are being fixed?

 Just to be clear, I didn't see anything that needs to be fixed in your
 message, and I hope my explanation makes it clear why. If you think
 that there are actual bugs that need to be fixed please feel free to
 create a thread on -ports to discuss them.


The CONFLICTS for math/atlas* should be fixed, as you remarked.  As
for portmaster, I'll allow that your choices were reasonable, but it
would be wise to note in the manpage that:

1) +IGNOREME files only work with installed ports (just because the
package database is naturally associated with installed ports doesn't
mean that someone won't create an +IGNOREME for one that isn't
installed), and
2) when trying to prevent the build or installation of a port that is
not currently installed, the exclusion glob will be compared with the
port directory, rather than the PKGNAME, as is done for installed
packages.  Using something like:

#!/bin/sh

for _dir in `make -C /usr/ports -V SUBDIR` ; do
 for _dir2 in `make -C /usr/ports/${_dir} -V SUBDIR` ; do
  _pkgname=`make -C /usr/ports/${_dir}/${_dir2} -V PKGNAME`
  case  ${_dir}/${_dir2} in
  *${_pkgname%%-[0-9]*}*) ;;
  *) echo ${_dir}/${_dir2} ${_pkgname} ;;
  esac ;
 done ;
done

one can find a number of ports that might surprise a user that was not
aware of this fact.  And with regard to the selection of exclusion
globs, we should note that a glob that matches too many ports may be
as problematic as one that matches too few.

MSI RAdeon R4670/512 and xf86-video-ati/xf86-video-radeonhd-devel crashes!

2009-11-09 Thread O. Hartmann

Hello.

Please respond also to my eMail address, since I'm not subscriber of 
these lists! Thanks.


Since I utilise a MSI Radeon R4670/512 RV730-based graphics card, I'im 
incapable of using either


x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati or
x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd[-devel]


The box is a ASUS P5K-Premium based system (Intel P35 chipset, CPU Intel 
Q6600), running FreeBSD 8.0-RC2/amd64 successfully. The X11 subsystem 
ist the most recent as one can find in the ports collection. I'll attach 
the logfile of the currently running Xserver.


My box got a new 24 inch TFT display so using VESA driver or lower 
resolutions than 1920x1200 isn't acceptable. The situation is as follows:


In all cases it doesn't matter wheter kernel module 'drm.ko' is loaded 
or not.


Driver 'radeon' (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati) crashes the box immediately 
without any  messages. I can see the xdm-login requester, but just 
before this shows up, I realise that the mousepointer sprite gets a kind 
of 'distorted', it shows up some 'stripes'. They vanish. When log in and 
the desktop is about to show up (using windowmaker), the screen stays 
black, the box crahes and in some lucky situations, it reboots, in less 
lucky situations it remains frozen.


Driver 'radeonhd' (xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.5_2) works, but without 
'options EXA' and without 'options DRI'. It is bumpy, but shows a 
1920x1200 pixel screen in full colours.


Driver 'radeonhd' (xf86-video-radeonhd-1.3.0) doesn't work, it shows the 
same behaviour as 'radeon' (xf86-video-ati). I can wathc the mouse 
pointer sprite getting striped and a kind of distorted, then the box 
crashes.


Those crashes occur mostly when switching from xdm-login requester to 
desktop. In some cases I can switch to the console (pressing 
ctrl-alt-[F1--F7]), but at some point, this also freezes/crashes the box.


I'm a little bit confused, since the ATi-RV730LE chipset is supposed to 
be supported. I run another box, an older nVidia CK804-based Athlon3500+ 
box equipted with a MSI R4830/512 graphics card. The same base OS 
(FreeBSD 8.0-RC2/amd64. The graphics board runs perfectly with ALL(!) 
radeon-type drivers, options EXA and DRI enabled, kernel module drm.ko 
loaded.


Can someone help? Since I do not have Windows XP/Vista/7 running on the 
box in question, I can not update the firmware of the MSI R4760 with a 
potentially existing firmware-update (since those tasks can only be 
performed via a special software from MSI running on XP/Vista as far as 
I know).


Thanks in advance,
Oliver

 Yes, thanks much to both of you.  Cutting the option back to just

 Sigh.  It has *always* been that way for me.  By age 15 I was already
stumbling over compiler bugs, library bugs, operating system bugs, and even
the occasional, very peculiar sort of hardware bug.  It's enough to make
one believe in gremlins developing interests in areas other than aviation. :-}
In the great majority of those cases, I wasn't doing anything out of the
ordinary, but somehow I managed to trigger the bugs anyway.

mfi(4) lockups and the adapter event log

2009-11-09 Thread Steve Polyack

Hello,
We saw an odd crash (more of a lockup) on one of our Dell's with a 
PERC5/i RAID controller (running 6.3-RELEASE-p10):


mfi0: COMMAND 0x89dab0e8 TIMEOUT AFTER 31 SECONDS
(repeated many times with different commands)
mfi0: 3325 (310696326s/0x0020/4) - Type 18: Fatal firmware error: Line 
1091 in ../../raid/verdeMain.c


After some troubleshooting with Dell, they determined that there was no 
problem.  An OpenManage live CD was used to run their diagnostic 
utilities, which turned up nothing.


However, after rebooting the system and checking dmesg(8), it could be 
seen that the adapter was doing some weird things during 
initialization.  It seemed to be going through the whole initialization 
cycle (Firmware initialization started) up to five times.  This does 
not jive with our other mfi/PERC5 systems.  In addition to the multiple 
init cycles it was also printing weeks worth of messages from the 
adapter's event log (mostly battery relearns).  Checking the event log 
with linux-megacli showed TONS of messages.  Trying to clear them using 
linux-megacli seemed to cause a similar lockup, filled with command 
timeouts, but no fatal firmware error.


We ended up clearing the event log using a linux live CD and the linux 
native MegaCLI binaries.  The system hasn't locked up again since, but 
we're not sure what caused it in the first place.


Has anyone else seen any kind of oddities with the PERC series of 
controllers and the adapter's event log?  Does it just fill up after a 
while and start to cause trouble?  I seem to remember a similar post 
recommending a cleaning of the event logs every so often.


Thanks,
Steve

Re: 7.2-p4 serial console not showing kernel messages?

 I'm having trouble getting 7.2-p4 to run. I'm using nanoBSD, either
 under VMware using a virtual serial null-modem or on an Alix
 Soekris-like serial-only CF-based device, both show this problem: my
 serial console does not display kernel messages, they all go to the
 VGA console!

 I'm using the nanoBSD cust_comsole function to enable the console.
 Relevant files are shown here:

 /boot.config:
 -h -S57600

 /etc/ttys, only one line is on:
 ttyd0   /usr/libexec/getty std.57600  xterm   on secure

 These are still in my kernel conf, if I remove these I get no kernel
 messages at all (kernel boots fine with this though):
 device  atkbdc  # AT keyboard controller
 device  atkbd   # AT keyboard
 device  kbdmux  # keyboard multiplexer
 device  vga # VGA video card driver

 I have also tried to set this in the loader, no luck:
 hint.sio.0.flags=0x30

 On the serial console, I see the boot manager (boot0) and the loader
 just fine. show in the loader says console=comconsole so that
 seems to be fine. However all kernel output goes to the VGA console. I
 *do* get a login prompt after a while on the serial console though.

 If I boot the same kernel over PXE on the ALIX, the kernel messages
 *do* go to the serial console...

 What am I overlooking?

Checking the obvious: syslog.conf is configured to send the messages to
the console?

 Since I utilise a MSI Radeon R4670/512 RV730-based graphics card, I'im 
 incapable of using either

Support for this chip is still developing. Accellerated 3D is not available
yet, and EXA might not be complete yet.

 In all cases it doesn't matter wheter kernel module 'drm.ko' is loaded 
 or not.

You also need radeon.ko and agp.ko for accelleration. As far as I can tell,
agp.ko is used for memory management for the card/driver and is necessary even
if your card is PCI-E.

 Driver 'radeonhd' (xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.5_2) works, but without 
 'options EXA' and without 'options DRI'. It is bumpy, but shows a 
 1920x1200 pixel screen in full colours.

DRI for R7xx isn't there yet.

If you want to test a more recent radeonhd driver than the one in ports, you
might have to use the drm and radeon modules from the Xorg git repository as
well. 
 
 I'm a little bit confused, since the ATi-RV730LE chipset is supposed to 
 be supported. I run another box, an older nVidia CK804-based Athlon3500+ 
 box equipted with a MSI R4830/512 graphics card.

That is an RV770, not a RV730.

The Xorg developers are working on the drivers for the R7xx series. Full
documentation wasn't available until a couple of months ago IIRC, so some
patience is required.

Remote ssh tunnel in background or script?

2009-11-09 Thread Kevin Kinsey

Greetings!

I have a client who recently dropped static IP service in
favor of a cheaper solution, so they're now on a DHCP network
blocking port 25, etc.

In order to continue to allow them to connect to an outbound
SMTP box on the LAN, I've done this on their server:

sudo ssh -L thisbox:24:remotebox:52525 m...@remotebox

I've got Sendmail listening there on 52525, and it works
fine; the local clients are told to connect to thisbox
port 24.  The only issue is that I have to run it from
a terminal session.  When I tried to bg the process (cmdstring )
it doesn't work, exactly.  I've gotten an error message
at times*, and at other times I apparently get thisbox
listening on port 24 but it's not an SMTP daemon that's
listening.

I have a feeling it's cause I'm in csh, which is notorious
for backgrounding issues.  ?  At any rate, what I'd
like to do is have a script set up the connection, or
write some daemon that would monitor the connection and
fix it if it gets reset.  At any rate, if I could get this
SSH process to detach from a terminal, it'd be great.

Any suggestions?

Converting a bootable USB stick in to bootable CD-ROM

2009-11-09 Thread Peter Steele
I have a FreeBSD image that I install on USB sticks to build new systems. When 
the stick boots it automatically clones itself on the system's hard drive, 
creating partitions and other configuration parameters that are programmed into 
the stick's cloning logic. I want to create a similar mechanism using a 
bootable CD-ROM. The biggest difference in the process of course is that the 
CD-ROM itself is read-only so clearly there needs to be an mfsroot involved in 
the process. I looked at how the FreeBSD Live CD is setup and the loader.conf 
file has these lines:

mfsroot_load=YES
mfsroot_type=mfs_root
mfsroot_name=/boot/mfsroot

along with the file /boot/mfsroot.gz and no /etc/fstab. I copied this into my 
BSD image and duplicated the mfsroot settings in my loader.conf.

I use the command below to create the iso file from the BSD image I've prepared.

mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -o /tmp/bsd.iso -b boot/cdboot  /bsd

When this iso is copied to a CD, it does boot. However, it doesn't seem to be 
picking up the mfsroot config and complains that the system is running from on 
a read-only file system. What step am I missing?

Check out /usr/ports/security/autossh

autossh is a program to start a copy of ssh and monitor it, restarting
it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.

The original idea and the mechanism were from rstunnel (Reliable SSH
Tunnel). With this version the method changes: autossh uses ssh to
construct a loop of ssh forwardings (one from local to remote, one
from remote to local), and then sends test data that it expects to
get back. (The idea is thanks to Terrence Martin.)

If I have to see anything at the console, not only do I setup

port 24.  The only issue is that I have to run it from
a terminal session.  When I tried to bg the process (cmdstring )
it doesn't work, exactly.  I've gotten an error message
at times*, and at other times I apparently get thisbox
listening on port 24 but it's not an SMTP daemon that's
listening.

I have a feeling it's cause I'm in csh, which is notorious
for backgrounding issues.  ?  At any rate, what I'd
like to do is have a script set up the connection, or
write some daemon that would monitor the connection and
fix it if it gets reset.  At any rate, if I could get this
SSH process to detach from a terminal, it'd be great.

Any suggestions?

There is a subtle but important difference between 'make config' and
'make configure' for ports:

  * 'make configure' runs any autoconf scripts included in the port.

  * 'make config', on the other hand, launches the port menu.

So you can re-configure a port by typing 'make config'.  This will load
any options from the /var/db/ports/PORTNAME/options file, launch the
menu you are looking for, and save the new options when you are done.

try removing the whole line in order to not define the symbol.

Trivial questions about CNTL-ALT-DEL and CNTL-ALT-BACKSPACE

2009-11-09 Thread Ronald F. Guilmette

I've just been installing 7.2-RELEASE/amd64 on a fresh/wiped system
that I plan to use as my future main workstation.

Anyway, I've already noticed a couple of things that seem to be different
from prior release that I need to ask about, i.e.:

1)  It appears that CNTL-ALT-DEL now causes a shutdown/reboot.  (I don't
know what release this new feature started in... I only just noticed it
now.)  Anyway, I'd like to know how I can disable this particular bit of
functionality. How do I do that?

2)  Prior versions of X (Xorg?) allowed CNTL-ALT-BACKSPACE to cause an
immediate shutdown of the X server, but now, that doesn't see to work
anymore.  How can I (re-)enable this functionality?

Thanks in advance for any answers.


Regards,
rfg


P.S.  Please send replies to the list.  Otherwise, I may never see them due
to my draconian and haphazard local spam filtering.  Thanks.

Thanks to the new versions of xorg, they removed that functionality.
A config file with DontZap equal to off re-enables it.

Google for DontZap to find where to put it in the config.

 Hi all

 With pkg_version I can easily see which installed ports has newer

 The reason for this is that commit messages often say that only the
 pkg-plist has changed or something that does not make me want to update.

 Right now I'm reading the commit messages from the cvs web frontend, but
 it would be awesome with a program that could say:
 gd-2.0.35_1,1    needs updating (index has 2.0.35_2,1)
 Commit messages between the versions:
 blah blah blah
 blah ... ...
 ...

 I know freshports exist, but I would rather not have to open a web
 browser.

 Does such a program exist or do I have to write my own. In the latter
 case can anyone point me to an easy way to get raw-text versions of
 commit messages without having to track the whole tree. Does freshports
 e.g. have an api -- it has all the necessary information, just not
 available in a suitable form (to my knowledge)

Hello,

I have on some web servers php4-gd port installed

Any idea where is the true?
Are my servers with php4-gd are secure or not?

This is a bug in the underlying gd library rather than in PHP itself. There
are fixes to two related ports:  if you've  updated graphics/gd to the latest
version (gd-2.0.35_2,1), and built the latest port revision of the php5-gd
module (which is  php5-gd-5.2.11_2) then those should have been  secured.

However, the PHP4 version of the gd module is still at version 
php4-gd-4.4.9, and doesn't seem to have been patched -- there is no patch

for CVE-2009-3546 in the php4 sources -- so it seems you are still vulnerable
when using PHP4.  This is to be expected: the PHP project is deprecating PHP4
and putting all their effort in to developing PHP5 instead.  Patches may
be forthcoming eventually, but who knows when?

Basically, if you're running PHP4 on a public site then you should be making
plans to upgrade to PHP5 ASAP. 


Cheers,

Matthew

  Anyway, the math/py-numpy port now proceeds to build without bothering
 with math/atlas.  It quickly goes astray when it doesn't recognize that any
 of gfortran4[345] has been installed--I guess there no longer is a FORTRAN
 compiler included in the base system--and instead tries to use lang/g95,
 which has also been installed.  Of course, this won't work because the ATLAS
 library needs to have been compiled with the same compiler as the programs
 that use it.

math/atlas-devel build times (was Re: math/py-numpy vs. math/atlas-devel)

wrote:

 Thanks, Maho.  It appears that the most critical change is to make
sure the tools can know that math/atlas and math/atlas-devel conflict
with each other, so that if one is already installed, the tools won't
try to install the other.

I talked with Goto Kazushige (author of GotoBLAS), he told me
that L2 cache handling on FreeBSD is very bad. It may be a reason

 I would be very interested in knowing in detail why he thinks that.
 The ATLAS build procedure, however, does use a very crude algorithm
for detecting the sizes of L1 and L2 caches that detects cache sizes
much smaller than they actually are.  I think there are some ways of
correcting the detected sizes, but they involve editing source files
and making decisions that go way beyond anything that the FreeBSD ports
system is equipped to handle.  Assuming cache sizes that are typically
1/2 or 1/4 of the actual sizes will quite naturally give less than optimal
results.  It is worth noting, though, that this same algorithm for cache
size detection is used for building ATLAS on any operating system on i386
or amd64 architectures.

why ATLAS build is so fragile. On Linux machines, it takes only 20 min or so.

 As I wrote before, the sensitivity is based upon the variance of a
run times.  The sample size is quite small, so any sizable differences in
even one or two run times can put the variance over the build procedure's
tolerance threshhold.  On my machine, I always had to edit a source file
to increase the number of iterations of each test from 10 to either 100 or
1000 in order to get the sensitivity down to where occasional other activity
in the system wouldn't kill the ATLAS build.  However, math/atlas-devel in
FreeBSD 7.2 surprised me by building cleanly with no such intervention
required, which pleased me greatly, of course.  I don't know what the authors
changed to make this happen.  In any case, the variance sensitivity problem
ought to be the same, regardless of operating system.
 The ATLAS build procedure builds an unthreaded version of the library
on any system.  If more than one logical/physical CPU is detected, it also
builds a threaded version.  You didn't mention the system configuration that
can allegedly build ATLAS in only 20 minutes.  I'm building it on a Dell
Inspiron XPS, which has a 3.4 GHz P4 Prescott CPU.  The L1 caches are 64 KB
each, IIRC, and the L2 cache is 1 MB, but ATLAS's build procedure typically
decides that the L1 size is 16 KB or less and the L2 size is 256 KB.  I have
hyperthreading enabled, so the build procedure sees two (logical) CPUs, but
the gains from the hyperthreading are very small in this situation.  Building
ATLAS on a truly dual-cored system ought to give much shorter build times,
and building it on a Core i7 system ought to be tremendously faster with or
without enabling the i7's reputedly better implemented HT.  The P4 Prescott
is now a very old chip model.  (I bought this machine new five years ago.)
 The last time I checked, the LINUX kernel still didn't know the
difference between logical CPUs and physical CPUs, so it's difficult to
see how its cache management in a HT environment could be any better than
FreeBSD's.  Maybe LINUX has been updated to understand five-year-old
technology since I last checked, but that still should only make it closer
to FreeBSD's performance, not radically faster than FreeBSD.
