Re: Question on packages and ports (and versions)
Hi, Ah, I see. So if I need a more advanced version of some software, that has been installed as a package, I can use portupgrade (or other port management tools) to upgrade the package to a port. Am I right? Thanks, Antonio (As a newbie I'm somewhat concerned about keeping consistency between package and port versions, but I suppose this is handled by port management tools automagically) 2010/6/10 Erik Trulsson ertr1...@student.uu.se: A package is best seen as simply a pre-compiled port, i.e. packages are built from ports.

I agree - the load it would impose isn't worth it. I'm just shocked that midphase care so little about their reputation or the impression this is giving, on one of the more widely-archived mailing lists, of their competence and diligence. I have employed VERP with mailing lists that I controlled. I never noticed any adverse effects. I know of several technical lists like Dovecot that employ it. Obviously, they find it useful. VERP itself is reasonably lightweight, as it modifies the envelope sender address -- something that can be applied during processing by the MTA as part of sending the message. As far as mail delivery goes, that's a very different story -- it goes from one message with tens of thousands of recipients, to tens of thousands of messages each with one recipient. Exactly - you can't batch up all the messages for users at the same domain because they now have different envelope senders. The impact of that on your mail delivery system (and the receiver's SMTP receiving system) depends on whether you have lots of individual subscribers, or several large groups. Having said that, I looked up VERP last night to check that I was right about the extra load, and came across a reference to VERP being the idea of DJB, and being acceptable to qmail users because there's no penalty load - qmail never batches up messages for the same domain, always sending each one individually. Is that true? It seems an odd design decision to me.

The packages are built from the ports tree itself. Therefore if your ports tree matches the one that is used to build the packages exactly you will have no problems. If your ports tree is newer you will have no problems attempting to upgrade using a port. However if you want to use packages after you upgraded via ports and the build cluster has yet to catch up to your version the package may depend on an old version and see to install it. -- Eitan Adler ___ 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

Secondly, the c partition of ANY slice is expected to cover the entire slice, i.e. NOT be used for a file system. Perhaps it is possible to do so, but it is not recommended. For historical reasons, I've been told, and that history goes farther back than my *nix experience, and I never researched it further. Perhaps someone else can enlighten us. With that in mind, if I were you, I'd backup the / and /home partitions, delete the s4 slice and make the s3 slice cover the combined space of the current s3 and s4 slices (using either fdisk directly or sysinstall's interactive frontend to fdisk) without touching s1 and s2, and then partition the new s3 like this. ad0s3a -- / ad0s3b -- swap ad0s3d -- /home To make backups, just boot into single user and do not mount / rw. You'll need some extra storage, e.g. a USB disk, to store the backup. To do the reslicing, repartitioning and restoring the backups, you'll need to boot from some other medium, e.g. the LiveFS CD. When making and restoring the backups, you may also need to have a writable /tmp directory. You can accomplish this by mdmfs -M -S -s 20m md /tmp which will give you a 20 MB filesystem stored in RAM with soft-updates disabled. That should be sufficient. This is how I would do it.

Thanks all for this. I got it working (docbook is being installed as I
write this and yes, I'm using the new parallel make on a QuadCore and
things fly indeed [1] ).
As I'm still a FreeBSD newbie I don't dare to write a patch for this
yet. (I still have to learn what ${EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS} means in that
makefile, for instance).
I'm a little bit overwhelmed with FreeBSD documentation. I've just found
the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook. I think I should read that first.
Thanks again,

Is that true? It seems an odd design decision to me. That decision has been the subject of countless arguments. Here's the rationale, according to The Qmail Handbook. You have these basic choices when sending a message to three users on the same host: 1. Open an SMTP connection to the server, send a copy to user1, another copy to user2, the last to user3, close the connection. 2. Start three processes. Each one opens an SMTP connection, sends a copy to one user, and closes. 3. Open an SMTP connection to the server, send one copy addressed to all three recipients, close the connection. (1) is the worst; if the message is small, it takes at least as much time as (3). If the message is huge, it takes a lot longer and wastes bandwidth. (3) is most efficient in terms of network bandwidth. (2) is what qmail uses. It wastes bandwidth but allows SMTP round-trip delays to occur in parallel, so it's usually faster than (3). It's simpler than (3) so the MTA code is easier to write and verify. Finally, you can use VERP because each user gets their own copy. There are pathological cases where it's slower than (3), but VERP allows bad bounces to be handled automatically, and this plus the code simplicity was considered more important. The bandwidth difference was often exaggerated because: a. most messages have multiple recipients *on separate hosts*, so (3) would not be possible in the first place, and b. SMTP usually takes up a small fraction of the bandwidth on a given host compared to (say) HTTP. If SMTP takes 10% of your bandwidth and you can save 25% of that by using method (3), now it will take 7.5%. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company Freedom is the right to tell people what they don't want to hear. --George Orwell ___ 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

I think this is for x86, not x86-64 but they should work, it is not clear for me if cmucl makes use of 64 bits anyways (maxima doesn't). There has never been a 64 bit port of CMUCL. There is a partial port for amd64 by Ed Wang, but it never got finished. Unfortunately there are not more recent snapshots for freebsd 8 and no freebsd snapshots at all since 2010. In january 2010 there is the comment: The FreeBSD binaries I had uploaded for the snapshot were flawed: I just discovered that I accidentally built them without Unicode support. To avoid confusion, these binaries have been removed. -- Alex Goncharov, 2010-03-30 Alex has retired from making CMUCL for FreeBSD snapshots. I volunteered to take over but real life got in the way. I don't have any 32 bit FreeBSD installations left in my home farm. So to build the 32 bit binaries for various FreeBSD versions I probably need to install a bunch of chroots, which then need the usual enter-chroot customization blues. I didn't do that yet. Being a maxima user i am very attached to cmucl which works very well with maxima (faster than sbcl), and i have in the past compiled cmucl using older cmucl versions, which works quite easily. Here i am afraid that Alex Goncharov has encountered some problem, and also that Darwin, Linux and NetBSD support were considered more important ... I'll see whether I can get my behind in gear and get this going this weekend. Interesting you have lower performance in SBCL. Are you comparing a 64 bit SBCL with a 32 bit CMUCL?

For performance reasons, the malloc library may not immediately release free memory back to the OS. Also, depending on the position of the memory block being freed, it may not be releasable back to the OS (if malloc used sbrk for allocations, it can only free memory at the far end of the address space, for example). Setting the environment variable MALLOC_OPTIONS to dM10f might help (disable use of sbrk(), enable use of mmap(), don't cache any free pages), but you still may not see any change according to top. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ 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

I have a 32 bits machine, and i was using the FreeBSD sbcl port without changing any compiling option. It is sufficient to run a number of maxima examples (*) to see that they run frequently faster with cmucl (gcl was also similarly speedy) than with sbcl (sometimes considerably faster). I think having seen similar assertions in maxima mailing list. (*) for example this computation is appropriate http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/en/maxima_54.html#SEC233 batch(grobner.demo) Another thing to consider is that the cmucl compiler is now able to emit sse2 instructions, and this gives a quite substantial gain in numeric computations under maxima, an example being eigens_by_jacobi on a large matrix, which gets a considerable speed boost. -- Michel TALON ___ 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

The dump command operates partition-wise. The common method of using it is # dump -0Lauf dumpfile partition The dumpfile can be on a removable media or on a network drive, it can also be a tape. In order to find out what to dump, see the output of mount. It shows the partitions you can dump, and in most cases, you will dump all of them except the swap partition (which doesn't show up in mount output anyway. So, for example, you can do: # dump -0Lauf /mnt/ /dev/ad0s1a # dump -0Lauf /mnt/ /dev/ad0s1d where your dump media is mounted in /mnt. -- 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

Areca RAID Failure?
This isn't specifically freebsd related but I'm fishing to see if anyone has observered similar behavior from and Areca raid controller before. We're already in touch with their support... Last night a disk failed on a 7 disk raid-6 array on a ARC-1220 with 1TB WD REmumble disks. This is certainly normal enough, except that rather than taking the normal ~30 hours to rebuild array after a failure it appears to have added the spare disk directly into the array and started servicing reads from it without rebuilding it from parity! This obviously seriously scrambled the filesystem on it and sorta defeats the whole point of H/W raid in the first place. XFS recovered well enough, but most files are large enough to span a stripe and are corrupted for it. It's currently running a check and is finding lots of errors, I am optomistic that it's check routine might rebuild the data from parity but am glad this occured on a log archiving volume so it isn't a great loss and we don't have to restore from backups anyway. Anyone else seen such amazing examples of FAIL from Areca's? We've got 50 or so 3wares in production and in the past 8 years have only seen one 3ware tank - it destroyed the filesystem on it's way but also complained on the way out and wouldn't initialize since it failed its internal diags. Performance issues or not, at least they do their job. -K ___ 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

DUMP: Cannot open output /mnt/hd/FBSD/. DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: (yes or no) i tried to reopen the output but it had no effect. Well, it looks like something is wrong with where you are trying to write the dump. What is mounted on /mnt/hd/FBSD? Is anything? Is there a filesystem built on it or is it some serial access media such as tape (in naming convention I have never seen). Or is FBSD a directory? If so, you have to name a file within it eg: /mnt/hd/FBSD/root.dump I don't specifically see any problem with your dump command. It is the media where you are writing that is causing your problem. It hasn't had a filesystem built or mounted on it or something like that. By the way, you don't have to specify the /dev/name in a dump. dump -0Lauf /mnt/hd/FBSD / would be sufficient and more clear to human read. dump -0Lauf /mnt/hd/FBSD/home.dump /home would be good for /home It is hard to guess beyond this what is happening. P.S.:ad0s3a is my root directory (/) s3b is /home and s3d is my swap space Don't dump swap. jerry ___ 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-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

DUMP: Cannot open output /mnt/hd/FBSD/. DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: (yes or no) i tried to reopen the output but it had no effect. The answer is right here: DUMP: Cannot open output /mnt/hd/FBSD/. You need to specify a file, not a directory. For example, you can use this command: # dump -0Lauf /mnt/hd/FBSD/ad0s3a.dump /dev/ad0s3a You just have to make sure that there's enough space for the dump file on the device mounted as /mnt/hd. P.S.:ad0s3a is my root directory (/) Then you have all subtrees on your / partition (like /var, /usr). Correctly, this is what you want to dump. s3b is /home and If you don't need it, don't dump it. :-) Anyway, if its nearly empty, you won't need much space for the dumpfile. s3d is my swap space Partition d is the swap? It's usually b, but... possible. -- 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

Have you previously deleted the created file from the external hard disk? Can you provide mount -v /dev/da0s1? if i make my hard disk a UFS file system then the error it may be fixed. how can i do it? Can you use the WHOLE disk for your backup files? In case you've got nothing to lose on that disk, it's quite easy, but pay attention: The disk will be EMPTY then. Make sure it's unmonted before creating a FreeBSD file system on it. # newfs -U /dev/da0 # mount /dev/da0 /mnt This does omit the slice part, it's often called dedicated. Sometimes it's called dangerously dedicated because Windows can't read it anymore (as if it could by default...). Oh, and did I already mention sade? It's a nice tool for dealing with disks, slices, partitions and filesystems, it works like sysinstall's corresponding subfunctions. You can use it to 1. delete the da0s1 slice 2. create a FreeBSD slice, spanning the whole disk 3. create an UFS partition, covering the whole slice 4. format the UFS partition, maybe using soft updates. This will give you /dev/da0s1c, which you can mount to /mnt. To keep in mind: The c partition always means the whole disk or the whole slice, root partitions usually are a, swap spaces b, and other partitions start at e (they can also start at d, but I think that d was reserved for something in the past, not sure if it's still the case). P.S.:i have 138 gb free space on my hard disk.:) In case you have data on that disk that you NEED - get them off the disk first. :-) -- 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

On Sat, 12 Jun 2010 03:12:57 +0300, Giorgos Tsiapaliokas terie...@gmail.com wrote: after the formats how i will restore my system? With restore. :-) First of all, after you've created a new slice, and within the slice partitions as desired (you can easily do this from the FreeBSD live system CD or DVD, or any other FreeBSD based live system, e. g. FreeSBIE), you will need one restore operation per dumped partition. In this example, I'll assume that ad0s3 is your new FreeBSD slice, and within it, the partitions ad0s3a (root file system), ad0s3b (swap) and ad0s3e (home) have been successfully created (e. g. via sysinstall's functionality, sade, or fdisk + bsdlabel). If you are in a multiboot environment, pay attention to the implications (e. g. FreeBSD boot manager). Then, when in the live system: # mkdir /backup # mount -o ro /dev/da0 /backup # newfs ad0s3a # newfs -U ad0s3e # mount /dev/newfs ad0s3a /mnt # cd /mnt # restore -rf /backup/root.dump # cd /mnt/home # restore -rf /backup/home.dump # cd / # umount /mnt # umount /backup # sync # reboot See man restore for details. Basically, using restore, you go # cd target # restore -rf dumpfile It's quite easy as soon as you've understood this logic. -- 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

freebsd - for the win
I'm working on a project for my client, and I spent the better part of two days trying to get my laptop running OSX to have the right combination of BerkeleyDB and Perl modules to build what I wanted. Turns out my Perl 5.10.1 install was incompatible with BerkeleyDB on OSX, but the macports version 5.8.9 was also in the wrong path, ugh. Finally, I said hey, freebsd would do better here. Within a half day, I had a freebsd VMWare image up and running, executing precisely the code I wanted, and I was able to take my development to the next round. FreeBSD. The Ports Just Work.
