Force disk with old GPT label to be recognized as MBR one
Hello there, people! I have a FreeBSD box with 9.1-RC3 i386 and an interesting HDD. It was patitioned with GPT and zfs some (long) time ago. After that the hdd has been completely repartitioned with MBR scheme and one single freebsd (165) partition and one slice there. It worked fine in 7.2, but now i have to get the data from that slice and when i connect the hdd to 9.1 box, it finds old corrupt GPT label (i suppose, it's backup GPT header somewhere in the end of actual disk) and does not recognize the MBR scheme there. It sees no freebsd partitions (and one exists there, for sure :) ). So my question is: how do i force the system to ignore old corrupt GPT header on this hdd, or how do i remove the header, or is there any workaround possible? This is what gpart says about this disk: [11:54][border][~] # gpart show ada1 =34 1250263661 ada1 GPT (596G) [CORRUPT] 34 256 1 freebsd-boot (128k) 290 838860800 2 freebsd-zfs (400G) 838861090 411402605- free - (196G) And this is what fdisk says: [11:54][border][~] # fdisk ada1 *** Working on device /dev/ada1 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1240341 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1240341 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 1250258562 (610477 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 14/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED So fdisk sees everything fine.

where is all terminal output sent if the controlling terminal is closed?
I occasionally build ports with extra logs enabled. When I then launch such programs from, say xterm on the background (), I get lots of output on the controlling terminal. If I then close the terminal, where does all the output goes? I presume it's still being sent to the PID of the parent xterm. But this process no longer exists, so what happens then?

utx.log doesn't update for Samba unmounts
Hello, I'm running 9.1-PRERELEASE (built Aug 1) with Samba 3.6 from ports. I've noticed that the last command's output shows still logged in for all previous smb connections since the last shutdown. However, smbstatus seems accurate, showing only a handful of users connected. For instance, right now, 'last' shows 500 users still logged in, when it's really only a few. I discovered this via a Nagios alert that I had a couple hundred users logged in. The last time I had active SMB/CIFS users was in May of this year, and I don't recall this happening then (judging from Nagios), but that was 9.0-RELEASE.

At this time, ports are STILL the recommended way to install things and keep them up to date. Really? I think the last time I compiled X or a web browser (until using poudriere) was about 10 years ago. I mix packages and ports here, heavily using zsh;/var/db/pkg/;pipes;portmaster and a thumbdrive(ftp) to other machines Pkgng is the first step required for us to get a better package management system so we can shift the community towards primarily using packages. I like packages - they save me compiling massive things on my desktop and they let me keep my servers running exactly the same software built from our CI setup. 'make package' is so quick and easy, it'd be hard to beat. So I thought I'd get a grip on pkgng before pkg_* disappears from base. I had a couple of questions I wanted to answer - 1) How easy does it make keeping my desktop (currently releng/9.1 built with dtrace) up-to-date 2) How much easier will it be to maintain production and testing servers? The answer has made me start downloading an OpenIndiana iso. 2. Is there a list of ports like nvidia-driver, nspluginwrapper, linux-f10-flashplugin, sampleicc (dependency of libreoffice!) which aren't in pkgng? Everything can be built into the pkgng format except a few ports that need workarounds. There's a list on the wiki. http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng Go to the bottom Known Failures section. I don't see any of the examples I gave listed, apart from nvidia-driver 3. How do I force pkg to install/upgrade a single package, regardless of dependencies being out of date? You should never try to do this anyway; you'll end up with packages built against the wrong versions of libraries. You're suggesting that I should upgrade an entire machine which may have proven itself over a period of years to be perfectly stable, just because I need a small utility which really doesn't care about the man page typo which caused gettext-0.1.2_3 to change to gettext-0.1.2_4? Notable here, things which depend upon firefox; gcc46; ... 4. How do I get poudiere to build against a local src/obj tree, or a zfs snapshot of a pre-built jail, instead of 9.0-RELEASE? The poudriere man page has all the instructions needed to create jails of any release version to be used for building packages. No, the man page doesn't mention anything about specifying where to pull the distribution from, only what method of access to use. You don't do it this way. You build everything on your poudriere server and push all of your packages to the client. You do this every single time. If you decide you want a new package on your client, you build it on your poudriere server and have your client request it. If you're using poudriere/pkgng, your clients should NEVER be compiling ports or installing packages outside of what your poudriere server is providing. Poudriere is giving you a cleanroom environment where it can guarantee that all the packages and their required packages/libraries are sane. Pkgng doesn't require ZFS -- poudriere does. Your clients should never have poudriere. I am confused. If pkg_* are removed, how is a person with a single desktop machine (worst case, a netbook) expected to operate if they need a specific port build? Are they to spend a week compiling 1000+ ports themselves in a poudriere VM? Or is the flexibility of FreeBSD ports just not deemed to be useful to the end user (or person unable to provide a dedicated any more? I am also perplexed; (unconvinced; ignorant...).. Waiting for a more comprehensive comparison to what exists now. And I've read the documentation thoroughly, but not enough times to fully comprehend all the strata... 8. Is there a pkgng equivalent of 'ls -lt /var/db/pkg' without firing up sqlite? Are you looking for the date column (not sure why that's useful as it can change due to many things)? Doesn't pkg info -a suffice? 'ls -lt /var/db/pkg' will show me what packages were installed sorted by day. It is very useful on servers which aren't routinely upgraded to the latest and greatest untested versions /var/db/pkg/ here is also indispensable, ( which I detailed precisely why in a message to the freebsd-current list, this month... ) Until I'm forced to upgrade to /pkg/ instead (I've workarounds and maybe a PR or two (feature req.) thought out...), I see this as a fork of the package registration API to something less useful to some, more useful to others (those using less ports than the number I've

Hi That is wrong, this worked for me on one of my servers since I did it straight away (as soon as I saw the release for rc1. FreeBSD warsol 9.1-RC1 FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 #0: Tue Aug 14 04:25:06 UTC 2012 r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 that was beta1, and I used freebsd-update to upgrade it! Now, on another server i would like to do I have the same error as the OP. Go to: http://update3.freebsd.org/ Simple put, someone has deleted the whole BETA1 directory/brach!? WHY!? is there another way we can accept the key. or is that data needed.. Can we get the branch restored? It does work. Rebuilding world is so painful. thanks -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Upgrading-9-1-BETA1-9-1-RC1-tp5737452p5739453.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.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
NFSv4 ACL permissions setting
Hello all- I've set up ZFS on a FreeBSD 9.0 64-bit server recently. One of the things I've had to learn relates to NFSv4 ACLs. I've developed two scripts to reset permissions- one for files and the other for folders. I've run into an issue with executing a script to set permissions on a bunch of folders. The root filesystem is /data. There are a bunch of subfolders followed by more subfolders. Allow me to demonstrate as follows: dougs@dorado:/# getfacl ./data # file: ./data # owner: root # group: DSP-production group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:r-x---a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/# cd data dougs@dorado:/data# ll total 45 drwxrwx---+ 5 root DSP-production 5 Aug 28 10:27 ADS-New drwxrwx---+ 60 root DSP-production 118 Aug 27 14:17 ADS-OLD [ .. snip .. ] drwxrwx---+ 12 root DSP-production12 Aug 27 14:16 WorkinProgress dougs@dorado:/data# getfacl ./ADS-New/ # file: ./ADS-New/ # owner: root # group: DSP-production group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data# cd ./ADS-New/ dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# ll total 9 drwxrwx---+ 5 root nobody 7 Aug 27 14:20 Artworks drwxrwx---+ 4 root nobody 4 Jul 17 12:12 ForDSP drwxrwx---+ 78 root nobody 78 Jul 23 13:17 ForMarketing dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# /root/bin/reset-perms-prod-mkt-dirs.sh dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# getfacl ./Artworks/ # file: ./Artworks/ # owner: root # group: nobody group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow - group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow - group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# cd Artworks/ dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# ll total 4234 drwxrwx---+ 2 root nobody2 Jul 17 12:08 Ask JoeS drwxrwx---+ 2 root nobody 10 Jul 17 12:12 Cool - AD d-w-rwx---+ 2 DSP-alfredo nobody2 Aug 27 14:20 Jaye Additional Art -rwxrwx---+ 1 root DSP-production 3770445 Mar 11 2010 comingsoonIntNepal.pdf -rwxrwx---+ 1 root DSP-production 415338 Mar 11 2010 previewcopy.pdf dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# cd Ask\ JoeS/ dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks/Ask JoeS# cd .. dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# getfacl Ask\ JoeS/ # file: Ask JoeS/ # owner: root # group: nobody group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow - group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# As you can see, the ADS-New folder where I executed the script shows duplicate entries of the DSP-production group whereas the Ask Joe subfolder underneath the ADS-New folder shows only one DSP-production group. If I run this script on the ADS-OLD folder, I see the same effect- only the first level of subfolders get duplicate DSP-production entries while the rest of the subfolders only contain one entry of the DSP-production group. Why is this happening? The contents of the /root/bin/reset-perms-prod-mkt-dirs.sh is as follows: #!/bin/sh # run this script where you wish to effect the changes # reset perms to default find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b * # apply perms to files find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -m group@:full_set:fd:allow * find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -m owner@:full_set:fd:allow * find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -m g:dsp-marketing:full_set:fd:allow * find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -m g:dsp-production:full_set:fd:allow * Um?
