A strange regression in curl
Hello! We have a web application running on FreeBSD 7.4 (amd64) which uses libcurl to send data to another system via HTTPS POST request. After I upgraded curl from 7.19.6 to 7.24, a mysterious problem appeared. When the length of the POSTed form exceeds 16121 bytes, sending the POST request to another system fails (receiving system responds with Error 500 and writes in its log 'Invalid POST Request received'). Admin of the receiving system says that his system never sees more than 16121 bytes of the incoming POST request. The problem does not appear when sending requests over HTTP instead of HTTPS, but this is no solution due to security requirements. Also I'm told that the problem does not appear when sending requests with curl 7.24 on Linux (don't know which distro). I downgraded curl back to 7.21.3, and the problem seems to have disappeared. I have output of curl --trace from versions 7.24 and 7.21.3, but looking at these two outputs they seem rather similar to me. Interesting thing is that both versions do seem to send the data in two "batches", as seen in the output of --trace. In my test case, after successful SSL negotioation, I see the following actions: Send header, 263 bytes Send data, 16121 bytes Send data, 890 bytes Note how the first "Send data" is 16121 bytes, which is also the size limit where requests start to fail with curl 7.24. It seems that in case of curl 7.24 the receiving server does not receive the second part of "Send data" and thus sees the request as broken. But what is actually the problem? I don't think I can remain with curl 7.21.3 indefinitely... -- Toomas Aas ___ 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"

'cached' is not _technically_ exactly accurate, but you have the concept basically correct. The O/S reads the label information and stores it in an internal data structure, Then, when it needs to use that data (frequently!:) it uses the values in that internal structure, rather than attempting to re-read from the disk, itself. Technically, it's _not_ "cached" -- cached data is used to short-circuit a 'read' attempt, using an in-memory block of byte instead of an actual disk transfer. The -effect- is similar, but there are *important* differences. 'Cache' data is integrated with I/O operations, and a _write_ to the place where the data was read from -invalidates- the cached data, whereupon, the next read attempt will *not* be short-circuited, and the actual on-disk data will be returned. In the case of the disk label, it is read (once) into the internal data structure, and only the internal data is used after that. A userland app can change the 'on disk' data -- or trash it completely -- and what the O/S "thinks" the label info is will NOT be affected by that change to the 'on disk' data. The warnings you see in the documentation, are reminders that the O/S's 'internal' data and the 'on disk' data are *NOT* necessarily the same. That looking at _one_ source of that data does *not* guarantee that what you see =there= is the same as what is in the other place. ___ 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"

ZFS and zpool mistake
Dear list, I installed a freebsd with freebsd on a zfs root and only one disk: pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zrootONLINE 0 0 0 ada0p3 ONLINE 0 0 0 This disk was now insterted into the computer and boots fine. The next step I wanted was to setup a mirror with a second disk.

I don't think there was anything written to the second disk but I cannot remove it anymore. Has anyone a tip for me, howto convert the stripe to a mirror?

proxy setup
Hello: My FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE system is behind a institutional firewall. Obviously I can not change any settings of this firewall. After installing FreeBSD and not setting any proxy servers I could install packages using pkg_add -r command. But when I tried to update the system freebsd-update fetch stopped. I traced that it stopped because getting the file through ftp failed: (with "failed: Connection refused: messages"). Therefore I have set http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables in my .profile file. After this the update ran without any problem. But now pkg_add -r refuses to fetch files with message: Error: Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD: Forbidden wget with --no-proxy option can fetch the file, that is the problem for pkg_add is probably the configured http or ftp proxy. How can fix this so that I should not every time set/unset proxy when I want to update the system or install a package?

4k alignment for attaching new disk to zfs mirror
Hi, Before creating a pool i setup two disks mirror with gnop trick to have ashift=12 - 4k pool alignment. I also did that for the disk partitions (gpt -a 4k option) to have partitions 4k alignment (diskinfo -v disk shows stripesize=4096 for both disks). Now i replaced one disk with a new one, but cant get the diskinfo or gpart list to display stripesize=4096 - did everything as usual (gpt -a 4k for partitions). Or do i have to re-create my pool with gnop trick again ? Do you have an idea if that at all is needed ? Some other information i found says that as long as pool is 4k alignment is done (ashif=12) you do not need to do 4k alignment for new disk for partitions with gpart -a 4k option. Could someone please comment on that ?

Serial console getty broken after upgrading to 9.1-RC2
Hello all, I had a working serial console setup on Freebsd 9.0 for remote access via my HP server's BMC serial console. I recently built and installed 9.1-RC2 on a separate dataset on this machine's ZFS pool and merged in my existing configuration from 9.0. On 9.1-RC2 I no longer get a login prompt. However, I still do have access to the loader prompt and can see the kernel boot messages on the serial console. I built my GENERIC kernel and world using clang with default flags. I see that the kernel identifies the serial port getty has spawned on the port. # dmesg |grep uart uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 uart0: console (115200,n,8,1) # ps axl|grep ttyu0 0 54051 0 20 0 11996 1416 ttyinIs+ u00:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyu0 Here are the relevant configuration bits I copied over from 9.0 setup that works: /etc/ttys: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" screen-256color on secure /boot/loader.conf: boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" # kenv |grep uart.0 hint.uart.0.at="isa" hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" hint.uart.0.irq="4" hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" Have there been any changes to the serial console setup in 9.1 or has anybody else experienced similar problems? __ Thanks, Ziyan. ___ 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 geli and glabel meta data is located at the end of the partition so it shouldn't be affected by the dd if you only deleted a couple of MBs at the beginning of the disk. If you previously weren't using a gpt layout on ada1, however, the gpart call might have corrupted the meta data for both in which case you'll have to recreate it. If the glabel meta data wasn't corrupted, the label should show up again once you recreated the partition at the previous position. If the label shows up, it's likely that the geli meta data isn't affected either and you can try to geli attach the provider and import the zpool. After a zpool scrub you'll know which files were damaged. If the label doesn't show up after the partition table has been corrected, you'll first have to recreate a label and "geli restore" the meta data as documented in geli(8). I'd recommend that you backup the whole disk and work on the backup until you know that the recovery process works. This would allow you to use zfs snapshots to be able to quickly rollback the backup if you need several attempts to get the partition layout right and decreases the chances that the damage gets worse.

Configuring xorg.conf automatically or manually can not fix my problem. installing nvidia driver from ports also can not fix my problem. some ideas -- The release notes for nvidia-driver 304.51 lists the 310M as supported. Check that you have the latest version Maybe try with driver "nv" instead of nvidia to see if the issue is the driver. kldstat | grep nvidia to check that the nvidia kernel module has loaded. Is there any helpful info in Xorg.0.log Lines starting with (EE) are errors. (WW) warning lines may also be helpful. dmesg will show the startup log and may highlight any hardware detection problems. Have you installed x11/nvidia-settings? It is a gui app that should show you all available resolutions. The Xorg.conf from your archlinux install should produce the same results on FreeBSD. Or at least give hints to what is configured wrong. There is a chance that your linux install used a newer version of xorg - 1.7 is default in ports but you can set WITH_NEW_XORG to build 1.10 ___ 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"
