I thought /usr was to only contain binaries installed from ports or packages. In many configurations, /bin and /usr/bin are not in the same slice. In some cases, they're not even on the same drive. I think you wanted to say that they often aren't on the same partition (not slice), but it is possible to have them on different slices, as well as disks, as you mentioned. Example: /dev/ad0s1a / - /bin, /sbin, /etc reside here /dev/ad0s1f /usr- /usr/bin, as well as /usr/local In this example, both are on the same disk and within the same slice, but on different partitions. In case of mount trouble, / would usually be available read-only, to provide a kind of reduced maintenance mode, and /usr wouldn't be mounted at all. Think about scenarios where /usr fails to mount for some reason. Then look at what's in /bin compared to what's in /usr/bin, and perhaps you'll understand the logic of it.

I said that the port populates into /usr/local like it should, and having it on several machines for nearly a decade now, I knew that to be the case. You then changed that to refer to a package rather than a port; I don't know where you got your packages from, but I checked the packages for 8-STABLE and for 8.0-RELEASE, and saw that they install into /usr/local as well. So it sounds like your packages didn't come from the FreeBSD project, if they are really installing anything into /usr/bin. Just as a sanity check: what, specifically, is installed into /usr/bin on your system? Most of the postfix executables go into sbin rather than bin anyway, so it's possible that something in the mailwrapper system is confusing you. If you don't have a /usr/local/sbin/postfix, but have a /usr/sbin/postfix instead, then this is not the case. A comfortable, maybe overcomplicated way to check what a package will install - without actually installing it - is to use the option -n for pkg_add (which obviously operates on packages, not on ports). So you could do: pkg_add -fKnrv postfix /tmp/postfix_add.txt This even works if postfix is already installed. The options, for a short reference, are: -f = force, -K = keep, -n = no install, -r = remote and -v = verbose. You can then search for lines that address specific locations in /usr/bin rather than /usr/local/bin. -- Polytropon 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: How customized can an mfsroot be?
Peter Steele pste...@maxiscale.com wrote: In my read-only CD-ROM boot case, /var is created as a MFS device automatically and populated, but a basic directory layout only is used. Nothing from the CD-ROM /var is copied into the MFS /var that is created. I cannot figure out how BSD can do this automagically, so I'll have to have a duplicate copy of /var on the CD and populate it from that. What I've tried that works well is when I'm about to run mkisofs to create the .iso from, I rename my /var to /var2 and create an empty /var. When the iso is booted, a default MFS based /var is created with a specific collection of directories. I have a startup script that copies my /var2 contents into /var and that does the trick. You might be able to reduce the iso size some by making a tarball of /var (using tar -y or tar -z) instead of keeping /var2 as a tree. Granted you would then need to have tar(1) in the iso, which may cancel out much of the savings if you would not otherwise have needed it. ___ 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

Based on the thread so far, my understanding is that you need to download the FreeBSD source repository (kernel, base system, etc.), because the port you're trying to build (which is a kernel module) requires it. There are two cvsup files associated with the source repo: /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile Which you should use depends on if you're running -RELEASE or -STABLE. The most important part in those files is the *default release=cvs tag=XXX. Specifically the tag=XXX part. 8.0-RELEASE's tag is RELENG_8_0, while 8.0-STABLE's tag is RELENG_8. So which tag you use should be based on what version you wish to run. So at this point, you should: 1) pkg_delete ezm3-1.1_2 2) pkg_delete cvsup-without-gui-16.1h_4 3) csup -h some cvsup server -L 2 /usr/share/example/cvsup/stable-supfile or csup -h some cvsup server -L 2 /usr/share/example/cvsup/standard-supfile This will populate /usr/src on your system. From there, you should be able to build ports/sysutils/fusefs-kmod as normal without any problem.

FreeBSD 8: Postfix policyd-weight not working!!!
Hi people. I'm working in my first spam gateway, using Postfix + policyd-weight. I have 2 jails for this, the jail-A is the mail server, where the mailboxes exist, they are on each user home directory: /home/user-1 /home/user-2 /home/user-3 ... /home/user-N This jail-A have samba+ldap=PDC, nss_ldap+pam_ldap working + dovecot+postfix working to. id test uid=10003(test) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users) id root uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel),5(operator),512(Domain Admins) I can add users without a issue using smbldap-tools. I have test dovecot+postfix and I can send emails with that jail. Now I want to setup my spam gateway, is another jail called jail-B, I have setup nss_ldap+pam_ldap to contact my PDC(jail-A) and is working: id user1 uid=10002(user1) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users) id test uid=10003(test) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users) Now, the part is the one is not working is postfix+ policyd-weight.

gdm background picture missing
hi all, I am not familiar with Freebsd, I installed 8.0-release, it had been working well. I read one post that USB webcam could be used in Freebsd 8.0 so I tried to install multimedia/webcamd, multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod from the port. It also upgraded jpeg from 7.0 to 8.0 and a lot of dependency ports. when I rebooted my pc, gdm background picture was missing, the background was in GREEN, and gimageview could not show pictures. I deinstalled jpeg8 and reinstalled jpeg7, then the gdm background picture/gimageview were good. then I tried to install multimedia/pwcview , it compiled from ports, but failed when tried to install gtk2.20 (I remember), it has upgraded some lib/ports which I had no idea of. I can not tell which ports have been upgraded while I tried to install pwcview. then reboot machine, gdm background picture was missing, all background was in GREEN. when I log in, gimageview works well, and other softwares such as firefox/putty, all were good except rox-filer, (I was using fvwm-crystal) when I opened rox-filer, all files/directories were displayed as red exclamation mark, all files/directories. when I click on it, it still worked, if I clicked on avi files, it will be open in gmplayer, that was good. 1. files/directories in rox-filer are all red exclamation mark. 2. gdm login background picture missing, all in green (the orginal picture was a green leaf) 3. in gdm login window, it also shows red-cross mark where it should be a host picture. So I think it might be that I upgraded some dependency ports/libraries or whatever by accident, but I can not tell which one. Any suggestion on steps to solve the problem? Thank you very much.

RE: How customized can an mfsroot be?
You might be able to reduce the iso size some by making a tarball of /var (using tar -y or tar -z) instead of keeping /var2 as a tree. Granted you would then need to have tar(1) in the iso, which may cancel out much of the savings if you would not otherwise have needed it. Actually, /var is tiny compared to everything else we have in the image so converting it to a tarball wouldn't really have any impact... ___ 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

If so how to activate it. Is there any kind of environment variable that we need to set for it? In Unix you can create file names containing any arbitrary sequence of characters except for NULL (marks the end of a string in C) or '/' (the directory separator) All of the variants on open(2) and similar functions will accept any sequence of bytes conforming to that as a filename. The tricky bit is getting the user-interface to interpret those names as Unicode (or whatever) and show you the appropriate sequence of glyphs in whatever character set you prefer. In general you need to set various locale related environment variables plus you may need to run specialized terminal emulator software to enable means for entering non-roman characters via your keyboard.

See the man page for more options. I extract a list of ports that are not CURRENT from portmanager.status then cycle through them doing 'make config' in each ports directory so that portmanager can be left to run unattended, eg (assuming csh) #foreach i ( `cat ports_to_upgrade`) foreach? cd /usr/ports/$i foreach? make config foreach? cd foreach? end # where ports_to_upgrade contains something like converters/libiconv devel/gettext databases/mysql51-client databases/mysql51-server devel/m4 misc/help2man sysutils/tmux databases/p5-DBD-mysql51 audio/mpg123 x11/dri2proto ... Note upgrading ports can take a long time, even days if you have lots of ports and a slow machine. You can quite happily interrupt portmanager though and start it again later (but see the man page for a caveat). I haven't tested on the bump from jpeg7 to jpeg8 but mostly portmanager just works.

I find this thread interesting because I had similar problems in FBSD with UTF-8. The virtual terminals will not support multi-byte characters nor several other things. Nevertheless, if you have Gnome (and I guess KDE as well) you can configure _that_ environment quite easily to support UTF-8. Just add: gdm_lang=en_US.UTF-8 or whatever other locale you want in your rc.conf and that's it. You can also customize this on a per-user basis. I haven't got the languages list to work yet in GDM, but all I needed was UTF-8 anyway. If anyone knows how to get multi-locales to work with GDM it would be awesome. I searched several threads but noone seemed to have an aswer. Anyway, hope this helps.

Adding a Disk and Changing Mountpoints
Saturday I'll be adding a second 40GB and a tertiary 6GB disk to the system (in favor of adding a CD-RW to a system that already has a DVD super multi-format drive). I'd like to rearrange my mount points a bit. Here is my current fstab. # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# /dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 Specifically I would like to move /usr/home to the 40GB drive and possibly move /var to the 6GB drive (depending on how the drive behaves). I know it should be as easy as moving the relevant directories to the new drives once the file systems have been finalized. I'm just curious as to any issues I might need to be on the watch for (obviously I'll be editing fstab before moving the directories, then issuing the mount command as appropriate). I'm doing this move specifically for space issues. My current drive (40GB) is nearly full (I only have 2.5GB left on /usr). I wish I wouldn't have deleted this mornings reports so I can give a run down on specifically how much is left everywhere, but it's getting pretty full. Once I've moved /var and /usr/home to their own disks, how can I reclaim what has already been allocated for them? Or will that happen automatically? Any specific concerns about that? Or would gparted and not fdisk be my friend here? By the way, the above is the default configuration for my system. I did nothing to modify the default values calculated when I did the install (I also plan on attacking my problem with jpeg that day too, running ldd left me with a 40+KB file to sort through). -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

In general you need to set various locale related environment variables plus you may need to run specialized terminal emulator software to enable means for entering non-roman characters via your keyboard. I find this thread interesting because I had similar problems in FBSD with UTF-8. The virtual terminals will not support multi-byte characters nor several other things. Nevertheless, if you have Gnome (and I guess KDE as well) you can configure _that_ environment quite easily to support UTF-8. Just add: gdm_lang=en_US.UTF-8 or whatever other locale you want in your rc.conf and that's it. You can also customize this on a per-user basis. I haven't got the languages list to work yet in GDM, but all I needed was UTF-8 anyway. If anyone knows how to get multi-locales to work with GDM it would be awesome. I searched several threads but noone seemed to have an aswer. Anyway, hope this helps.

Is there a quick and easy way to have the jail host throttle bandwidth usage of everything going to and out of the .127 jail? I don't really need anything fancy, I just want to set hard limits for the entire jail globally, like don't use more than 500KB/s downstream and more than 150KB/s upstream. What would be the best way around doing this? My understanding is that to do this with PF, I would need ALTQ meaning I have to use a custom kernel and that IPFW with dummynet should have similar functionality but should also work with GENERIC?

I'm just curious as to any issues I might need to be on the watch for (obviously I'll be editing fstab before moving the directories, then issuing the mount command as appropriate). I'd suggest to use dump + restore to move the partitions' contents partition-wise; this makes sure that file permissions and all other stuff that may be important is copied 1:1. Let's assume this is the point you're starting from: /dev/ad0s1a / /dev/ad0s1b swap /dev/ad0s1d /var /dev/ad0s1e /tmp /dev/ad0s1f /usr --- includes /usr/home You'll add other disks, let them be /dev/ad1 /dev/ad2 And create one slice and one partitions on each of them. (It's possible to omit creating the slice, and just creating a partition on the pure disk covering the whole disk, this is called a dedicated partition, and that's why other systems may be unable to access it.) But let's just say you're selecting the maximum compatibility mode and create slice /dev/ad1s1, and one partition /dev/ad1s1e slice /dev/ad2s1, and one partition /dev/ad2s1e You then want to make /dev/ad1s1e the new /var, and /dev/ad2s1e the new /home. Important: To make sure that noting unwanted may happen, do everything in single user mode: Boot the system into SUM (boot -s), then do: # fsck /var /usr # mount /dev/ad1s1e /var # cd /var # dump -0 -f - /dev/ad0s1d | restore -r -f - # cd / # umount /var Now you have transfered the content of old /var on /dev/ad0s1e to new /var on /dev/ad1s1e. The idea of using dump + restore implies that you want an exact 1:1 copy partition-wise. You can't do the same with /usr/home, because it's not on its own partition, but it's a subtree. For copying it, you can use cp -R or tar. Because you won't need the symlink /home@ - usr/home in the future, delete it now, and create a real mountpoint for the new /home partition (on its own disk). # cd / # rm home - deletes the symlink # mkdir home- creates a real directory # mount -o ro /dev/ad0s1f /usr # mount -o ro /dev/ad2s1e /home # cd /usr/home # cp -R * /home # umount /home Now as you have transfered everything to the new locations, adjust /etc/fstab accordingly. Make sure that / is rw. # mount -o rw / Then edit /etc/fstab using your preferred editor, e. g. # ee /etc/fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# # - -- -- --- - - /dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1d /tmpufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /scratchufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad1s1e /varufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad2s1e /home ufs rw 2 2 ... your other entries here... [Esc][Enter][Enter] Now reboot the system. If - really AFTER if you have stated that everything is in place as inteded, delete the /usr/home subtree and the content of /scratch (which was /var). I'm doing this move specifically for space issues. My current drive (40GB) is nearly full (I only have 2.5GB left on /usr). I wish I wouldn't have deleted this mornings reports so I can give a run down on specifically how much is left everywhere, but it's getting pretty full. You can use df -h as well as the du -h dir utility to find out more about the current occupation of disks or directory subtrees. Once I've moved /var and /usr/home to their own disks, how can I reclaim what has already been allocated for them? If you delete the content from a partition, you'll end up with an empty partition. You can give it another mount point and use it, for example, as /scratch partition. Or will that happen automatically? No. Nothing of such a big impact will happen automatically. Any specific concerns about that? Or would gparted and not fdisk be my friend here? I'd suggest using the sade program. In order to re-arrange partitions, it's the common method to delete existing partitions and creating new ones. This assumes that you make backups first, then resize the partitions, and finally load your backup. Allow me
