Multiple mount_smbfs commands fail in bash script
Hi all, I'm having some problems with a bash script. It's a backup script that periodically checks if a list of systems is online, and if so, uses samba to mount a specified list of shares, rsyncs them to a local directory and unmounts again. This used to run fine till a few months ago (I don't know what the trigger was that caused them to first fail). Now, when the script is run, it gives the following error when mounting the shares: mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) Which is strange, as there are (by last count) 1170 /dev/nsmb* devices in /dev/ (is that normal?) Searching the internet, FreeBSD and Samba mailing lists gave me no recent info, and the old info wasn't helpful. I've narrowed it down to the point where I think it's caused by one process trying to open two (or more) shares at the same time. (a simple script mounting two shares gives the same error). I can mount the shares from the command line without problems, it's only in the bash script it gives me problems. ~/.nsmbrc and /etc/nsmb.conf are correct, smbd, nmbd and winbindd are running. The system is FreeBSD 8.0 Stable. Anyone got any suggestions?

Re: installing FreeBSD in VMWare-player
I wrote a small howTo for such a migration for others in the same situation. Comments/Impromvements are welcome; Thanks matthias $Id: moveFreeBSDintoVM.txt,v 1.2 2010/09/02 10:55:29 guru Exp $ How to move a complete FreeBSD installation into a VM Matthias Apitz g...@unixarea.de 1. Preparations in the running FreeBSD system Save the current FreeBSD partition layout to paper, i.e. print: - /etc/fstab - output of 'df -kh' - output of 'bsdlabel ad8s4' (or whatever your disk is) so you later know the sizes you will need in the new VM. Reboot the system to single user mode, run fsck(8) in all file systems and mount them read only, while staying single user. Do dump(8) of all the partitions to some external media you later can use in the VM a) physically and b) could be mounted in FreeBSD. I used an USB disk with an UFS file system on it as /dev/da0s1a: # mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1a /mnt # dump -0au -f /mnt/usr.dump /usr # dump -0au -f /mnt/var.dump /var # dump -0au -f /mnt/root.dump / Finally shutdown the system. 2. Prepare the VM Attach resources big enough to reflect your real system to the VM. I used: RAM: 2 GByte IDE: 164 GByte (as one file in the host) Make sure that the VM's boot order is: 1st CD/DVD, 2nd disk, so you later can easy decide from where to boot by just attaching or not the CD/DVD to the VM, even if the disk has already a MBR. Copy an ISO image of the so called FreeBSD livefs to the host and attach this as CD/DVD to the VM 3. Partitioning of the disk This part is a bit tricky because the FreeBSD livefs does not really guide through it. Boot from FreeBSD livefs and - define country and keyboard - run standard installation from the menu - fdisk(8) the disk, use entire disk for FreeBSD - let it install FreeBSD's boot manager - partition the slice to the layout of your old system, i.e. to the following result: /dev/ad0s1a1 GByte / /dev/ad0s1b4 GByte swap /dev/ad0s1d2 GByte /var /dev/ad0s1e6 GByte /tmp /dev/ad0s1f(rest 146 GByte)/usr - commit the last chance before scribbling on disk The installer will now do the real fdisk(8) and BSD-label of the partitions. It will newfs(8) the above file system and try to install FreeBSD in it, which is not on the CD/DVD and which is not what we want. Answer all questions as NO to get finally back to the main menu of sysinstall(8) tool. Reboot again into the FreeBSD livefs and go to the fixit repair mode menu, start a shell. The above mentioned file systems are created fine and even the boot manager is fine in place (ofc it would not find anything to boot). The file systems are already polluted which things we don't want (because we later will restore from dumps). Run newfs(8) in all file system devices again: # newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad0s1a # newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad0s1b # newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad0s1d # newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad0s1e # newfs -m 0 -o space /dev/ad0s1f We now have clean file systems (and boot manager installed). 4. Restore the dumps First restore the old root file system using the booted FreeBSD livefs, mount the new root as /mnt and the USB disk containing the dumps as /usb: # mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt # mkdir /usb # mount -t usf -o ro /dev/da0s1a /usb # cd /mnt # restore rf /usb/root.dump # cd / # umount /mnt One could as well restore the other dumps the same way, but it's better to see if the new root file system already boot fine, because restoring the /usr dump will take many hours (in my case 9 hours for 120 GByte), Reset the VM (no need to worry, nothing is mounted), detach the CD/DVD and reboot the old/new root file system into single user mode. Remount the /root writable and restore the /usr dump: # mount -o rw / # mount -t usf -o ro /dev/da0s1a /mnt # mount /dev/ad0s1f /usr # cd /usr # restore rf /mnt/usr.dump (after 9 hours) # mount /dev/ad0s1d /var # cd /var # restore rf /mnt/var.dump Check and edit the /etc/fstab to reflect the new device names (in my original system the disk was /dev/ad0s8 and not /dev/ad0s1). Make /tmp writable for all users # mount /dev/ad0s1e /tmp # chmod 1777 /tmp The system is now installed and should be boot up fine to normal multi user mode, just reboot normally. 5. Final changes Edit some system files to reflect the new VM environment: /etc/rc.conf: - network interface is now em0, and not wlan0 /boot/loader.conf - sound (still not working) /etc/X11/xorg.conf - recreate the X11 config file the normal way install the vmware-tools for FreeBSD (still pending) 6. Some notes about performance The host is Dell Precision M4400 with Dual Core CPU of 3.09 GHz and runs Windows 7 Professional. It took 9h to restore a dump of /usr which was produced in ~2h.

you use bash for this purpose? Do you require any special

so why not use it until you reach the ends of its functionality?
Just a guess, regarding your initial question, as I don't have
experience with Windows related things: Did you have the
chance to monitor correct operations of your script in the
past? Did the mound and umount (!) calls work properly? Have
you checked your commands running them in the standard dialog
shell (csh)? I assume you're running them as root (or at least
with sufficient permissions), so I don't think the problem
is there, as the error message
mount_smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device)
doesn't look like refering to that problem.
The error message originates from /usr/src/contrib/smbfs/lib/smb/ctx.c;
having a look around, and remembering that you said

The limit seems to be 1024, if I read that correctly - allthough
I'm considered a C hacker, I'm no OS-level C hacker. :-)
Afterwards, smb_ctx_lookup() fails and gives the error message
mentioned earlier.
Remove the /dev/nsmb* devices and try again. Make sure no other

The script above is a (heavily) reduced version, used to isolate the
problem. The real script is much longer, and uses a bunch of logic to
walk through a list of different systems (each with their own lists of
shares, loaded from external files), taking snapshots of the previous
backup, logging which systems were backed up, rolling back operations if
a backup fails, etc.

I am running it as root, and I just tried running the (test)script
(without the bash reference) under a csh shell, and got the same error,
so it's not a bash problem.
As for monitoring the operations of the script, it has worked fine
before (for several years), so I'm pretty sure the code is correct.

As the nsmb nodes don't seem to be in use any longer, it would be no problem to remove them. The mount_smbfs program will generate them if needed. Just as an addition: After your script successfully performed the operations needing the mounted SMB shares, it could remove the corresponding device files. Still, this looks like a bug to me, a can't image anybody needs more than 1024 of them kind of bug. I would have imagined that IF a program needs files in a temporary way, it removes them after use.

Adding onto Lowell's response, you can see which version of the port was
packaged at release time by logging directly into the FTP server:
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD
and take a look at what is in the package directory. For example:
ls ports/${ARCH}/packages-X.Y-release/${CATEGORY}/${PORT}
replacing ${ARCH}, ${CATEGORY}, and ${PORT} as appropriate, and
replacing X and Y with your current release version (for example, 8.1).

SOLVED: serious (for me) Xorg 7.5 mouse/kbd problem in 8.1-STABLE

Subject: serious (for me) Xorg 7.5 mouse/kbd problem in 8.1-STABLE
For years I have run Open-Motif on FreeBSD without issue.
I use a USB keyboard and a USB three button mouse attached to a Dell
Optiplex 960. This combination has worked fine for the past year.
This week I upgraded from 8.0-STABLE circa January 2010 to 8.1-STABLE.
I do this by doing a buildworld/installworld sequence after csup-ing
stable-supfile and rebooting. In this case I also pkg_deleted all of
my ports and am rebuilding them from source. Building Xorg is one of
the very first ports I attempt since I prefer to work in xterms not
virtual terminals.
This upgrade moved me from Xorg 7.3 to Xorg 7.5, but Open-Motif stayed
the same - open-motif-2.2.3_6 - it hasn't changed in years.
After building Xorg, as root, I ran the Xorg -configure command to
generate my xorg.conf.new file. Since a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file was still around after the upgrade from 8.0-STABLE/Xorg 7.3, I
felt no need to change anything in that file (later file comparisons
confirmed that nothing had changed).
My only relevant additions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf are these:
Section ServerFlags
Option AutoAddDevices off
Option DontZap false
EndSection
In my /etc/rc.conf file I have dbus and hald enabled, and that has
not changed since the beginning of 2010 after the confusion abated.
As a normal user, I start Xorg using /usr/local/bin/xinit as always.
I have several xterms configured in my ~/.xinitrc file. All those
came up in the correct location and state. I was able to open those
that started in iconic mode. In an open/raised xterm I could enter
carriage returns and see my shell prompt move down the window. But
when I tried to close/minimize an open/raised xterm, things failed.
I use the following keyboard/mouse combination (configured in my
.mwmrc file) to close (minimize) an xterm (and other applications):
Shift Btn3Click window f.minimize
This is also unchanged for some years. This particular setting has
no bearing on the problem I came across yesterday. I merely state
it for the record. However, this configuration triggers the bug.
The problem is as soon as I use that Shift/Btn3Click combination,
my arrow cursor disappears, then I cannot move to or select other
xterms - I am frozen, or locked, into the xterm I was trying to
close/minimize. All I can do at this point is to kill(1) the
/usr/local/bin/xinit command to return to the virtual terminal
where I launched my Xorg session.
I am now reluctantly using the good old /usr/local/bin/twm which
is always built when Xorg is built from source. I am at a loss
as to what to look for next. I suspect Xorg, or the keyboard and
mouse driver, not the video driver, that came with. It might be
a problem with hald(8), but again, I don't know how to debug this.
Any help with this very odd bug would be greatly appreciated.
- End forwarded message -
This problem is known (and fixed) in newer versions of xorg-server.
See this URL for details of the problem.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=1884db430a5680e37e94726dff46686e2218d525
I have also attached the changes I made to the dit/events.c file.
After rebuilding xorg-server with those patches, the Open Motif
(mwm) window manager now works with the above minimize keyboard
and mouse squence. Thanks for all the help.
Regards,
web...

Linux emu: ELF file OS ABI invalid
Hello, list! Got a strange problem with some linux binaries (utilset for Dwarf Fortress game, DFHack): file reports them all as 'ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped' All are brandelf'd as in handbook. Utilset requires two libraries, libdfhack.so and libdfconnect.so, that are reported as 'ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, not stripped'; both of them are brandelf'd, too. So, i've put libs into /compat/linux/usr/lib/ and tried to run one of tools and got: ./dfprospector: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libdfhack.so: ELF file OS ABI invalid What could be the source of the problem?

Weird Linux - FreeBSD/ZFS NFSv4 interoperability problem
While doing some interoperability testing between Linux and FreeBSD, I came up with this unusual issue. I could use some help figuring out if this is a bug, and if so, where to file it. Here's the scenario: - FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE server, sharing a ZFS filesystem via NFSv4. - Linux client (I've tested with RHEL 5.4 and Debian Lenny) mounting said filesystem with NFSv4. - A user on the Linux client does a Subversion checkout onto the mounted filesystem. At the end of the checkout, access to the filesystem hangs. nfsd on the FreeBSD server and rpciod on the Linux client seem to be in a tight loop, and there's lots of network traffic between them. I can reproduce this every time. The problem does not occur if the backing filesystem is UFS instead of ZFS, if NFSv3 is used instead of NFSv4, or if the client is FreeBSD instead of Linux. ___ 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
