Summary of conflicts: Skipped paths: 1 (687) @ 2:22:43 For some reason svn thinks your local copy of sys conflicts with the copy from the repo. That could happen if you have local patches or similar, but svn would usually prompt you to merge any such. Also this seems to have affected people completely innocent of any such changes. Assuming you've checked out the stable/9 branch then I think this (untested) command should resolve the problems: # cd /usr/src # svn merge --accept theirs-full ^/stable/9 Use 'svn info' to see what the URL setting for your repo is -- you can just paste that in as is instead of '^/stable/9', or you can use the shorthand '^' which stands for the text from the 'Repository Root' setting plus the rest of the URL string. Note that the 'theirs-full' method of resolving conflicts will tend to wipe out any local changes you may have. If that is a concern, then you could try using the 'edit' method instead. (As the name suggests, this puts you in an editor showing the conflicting merge results, and requires you to edit things into what the result of the mmerge should have been.)

Re: pppoe configuration and dns name resolution
Hi This time I configured as simple as possible with minimal settings, and voila things worked. I successfully connected to internet in both cases - DHCP server disabled in adsl modem, and DHCP server enabled in adsl modem. Thanks all of you guys for helping. :) Here are config files: ## /etc/rc.config hostname=jacks_lappy ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP # The below line is to be used if DHCP server on adsl # modem is disabled. #ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 # This is assigned to telnet to adsl modem and configure it, # if you don't wanna communicate with modem, remove # this line. It doesn't affect ppp connectivity, in any way - # I tried removing it and got connected successfully. sshd_enable=YES moused_enable=YES powerd_enable=YES # Set dumpdev to AUTO to enable crash dumps, NO to disable dumpdev=AUTO hald_enable=YES dbus_enable=YES --- ## /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: default: set log Phase tun command adsl: set device PPPoE:fxp0 #MRU is optional too, you can remove it # w/o affecting ppp connectivity. set mru 1492 #set mtu 1492 # This was the cause of failure. # See man ppp for more info. # If MTU is set, ppp will not accept MRU values less than MTU. # e.g. MTU = 1492. Now if your ISP has MTU = 1460(my case), then # ppp on your PC, will not connect to ppp server at your ISP side. # So DO NOT set MTU explicitly. set authname myusername set authkey mypassword set dial set login add default HISADDR enable dns # a must, if DHCP server is enabled in adsl modem # and if you don't wanna edit /etc/resolv.conf # each time before connecting tp ISP's ppp server. #Now you don't need to touch /etc/resolv.conf - My /etc/resolv.conf is updated each time I start ppp, so I didn't needed to edit it. I simply started ppp via ppp -ddial adsl I also didn't start ppp at bootup, as it requires that your adsl modem must be powered on before FreeBSD begins booting, which is not the usual case for me. Also, as soon as I started ppp, an ip address is assigned to tun0 interface by ISP, while fxp0 was assigned its ip address via DHCP server enabled in adsl modem, even before I attempted to dial ppp. That is expected. I also tested this configuration with DHCP server disabled in adsl modem and it too worked successfully, except I need to chnage the line fxp0=DHCP to manually assigned ip address one, no other change was needed. The problem might be I was I trying to explcitly set MTU to be 1492, which ppp takes as minimum value - ie no MTU value less than 1492 is agreed upon by user ppp. My ISP's MTU was 1460, and since 1460 1492, so ppp was not agreeing upon MTU value and no connection was made. Thanks again all of you guys for sorting this out. :) Mean while I created a script to start and stop ppp service for a profile. This script is specifically written for csh/tcsh shell - the default one for FreeBSD, so some changes need to be made if it is to be run in other shells. Just go to c shell and type pppdo profilename start | stop where 'profilename' is the desired profilename defined in etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and either you 'start' ppp or 'stop' ppp. Here goes the script: pppdo.sh #!/bin/csh if ( $#argv != 2 ) then echo Usage: $0 ppp_profile start | stop exit endif switch ($2) case start: /usr/sbin/ppp -ddial $1 ; breaksw case stop: killall -INT ppp killall -HUP ppp ; breaksw default: echo $0 : Invalid Cmd ; breaksw endsw - NOTE: before executing this script make sure it is executable If not, type this at shell: chmod +x ./pppdo.sh After executing this script try pinging to a remote site to confirm connectivity, e.g. type this at shell: ping -c5 freebsd.org If you get 0.0% packet loss, then you made it! So, the only files that require modifications are /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and /etc/rc.conf No other file need to be modified to use user ppp, no matter whether DHCP server on your adsl modem is enabled or disabled, it doesn't matter - just use the configuration mention above. Then use the script as: ./pppdo adsl start to start the ppp profile named adsl(tun0 interface is created), and use ./pppdo adsl stop to stop the ppp. This will destroy the tun0 interface too. PS: The user account from which this script is to be run, must be a member of network group too, though network group need not to be the user's login group. This is the requirement of user ppp itself, and not of this script. Regards -- Jack ___

In this case, I'm afraid it looks very much as if the problem is local to your system, and nothing wrong with the port itself. As the databases/mongodb port uses the generic mechanisms for handling USERS and GROUPS it's likely that if there was a problem with the databases/mongodb port, then you'ld be seeing similar problems with any port that uses the same mechanism. There would be an excess of complaints from many users that would be hard to miss. No such complaining has been observed. In short: something is wrong in the password database on your system specifically, which is causing the installation of databases/mongodb to throw errors.

Thank you Warren. That sums it up. Lucas, I found this blag post informative: https://koitsu.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/using-freebsd-graid-geom-raid/ There are also several interesting posts on Michael Lucas' blag, such as: http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/1071 This is a good discussion thread that dives into a specific configuration and the implications: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/disk-partitioning-with-gmirror-gpt-gjournal-RFC-td4912676.html I've tried to determine which came first GEOM or GPT. It seems GEOM is actually older, dating from FreeBSD 5, around 2003. While GPT seems to have been integrated with what is now known as UEFI in the later half of that decade. It also seems greedy of GPT to require both the first and last sectors of the disk. This seems to almost guarantee it will have issues with other low level disk formatting tools. Of course, given the history of the WinTel partnership, perhaps not interoperating with other tools was a design specification 8-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table In any case, the upcoming wide spread use of UEFI/GPT (i.e. windoze on commodity PCs) compared to the FreeBSD specific nature of GEOM, pretty much insures that it will have to be GEOM that changes to accommodate this conflict. Even given the denial of who is David and who is Goliath, in the fact that the GEOM developers don't seem to consider this their bug: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=162147 It seems inevitable that the FreeBSD devs will have to capitulate and find another way to store the GEOM meta-data or we're going to loose the great benefits of whole disk mirrors under GEOM. [please proceed with tongue in cheek] This may not occur any time soon, as time progresses at a different rate for BSD than it does with the rest of the world. A great example is this sentence from the Architecture Handbook: The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a new way of attaching devices to personal computers. Of course USB is roughly 20 years old now 8-) There are some other great quotes regarding the new computer input device, called the mouse. [safe to freely operate tongue again] In any case, it seems my new 9.1-RC2 installation will be MBR partitioned with whole disk GEOM mirror. This motherboard is BIOS based, not UEFI. It's become fairly de rigueur to accommodate the 4K sector size disks with fdisk and MBR partitioning. As we propel forward into SSDs this may not stay the case.

Any less and the kernel will freeze or panic at boot. This was with the amd64 version though, not i386. Keep in mind that the installer will take some memory on top of what is needed to boot FreeBSD. -- -- ___ 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
Question regarding a server with an unsupported old version
Hello to all, My name is Rei Okamoto posting from Japan. I'm very new to FreeBSD and please pardon and caution me if anything I post is in any way inappropriate. Here's a problem I'm facing right now. I started working for a company this month as a sole engineerer, given all my tasks with virtually no manuals other than IP addresses, IDs and PWs. (Dangerous, but not such a rare case in this country) One of the clients is running the web site using FreeBSD 4.7. Although it is surely the best to renew the server to newest machine and OS, the client is reluctant to do so because of money. So a long story short, because I need to do some testing, I've installed FreeBSD 4.11 to the VirtualBox as a test server in my local PC and got the network connected. I want to build the test server as close to the actual server as possible, such as considering the OS's version 4.11 to be close enough to 4.7, but as I try to install PHP4 with a following command, pkg_add -r php4-4.3.6.tgz I get an error message below. Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.11-release/Latest/php4-4.3.6.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) So you probably can figure out the rest of the story, it is all too old to make a near duplication of the server. Is there any suggestion on what I can do other than convincing the client to renew the server? (which I am doing but already been politely refused) Pardon me for the long message, and thank you in advance for all replies. Thank you, Rei Okamoto ___ 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
How to list /etc/fstab in new BFSD label?
Aloha, I cant find any How TO on writing the hardware devices into /etc/fstab to mount and find how the DVD and CD players get connected. (This happens to be with a test box FreeBSD 10.* which has worked fine other than that.) The BSD install I understand is also for FreeBSD 9.* as well. fd0, /floppy, acd0 /cdrom, acd1 DVD, do not come up although they are in /dmesg list. Any help would be appreciated. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + + http://aloha50.net - Supporting - FreeBSD 7.2 - 8.0 - 9* + email: n...@hdk5.net All that's really worth doing is what we do for others.- Lewis Carrol ___ 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

Although it is surely the best to renew the server to newest machine and OS, the client is reluctant to do so because of money. There is still the option to use a supported version of FreeBSD. You can have a try with 7.4. Some hardware support was taken out with 8. But if 8 works, take 8.3. as I try to install PHP4 with a following command, I doubt that you will get this anywhere anymore. Is there any suggestion on what I can do other than convincing the client to renew the server? (which I am doing but already been politely refused) Just try a newer FreeBSD version. 7.4 is currently still supported. Of course, it also could be that 9.1 is running on this hardware. This would be perfect. But I do not know if you can get the client's web sites running on a current PHP version.

Re: Question regarding a server with an unsupported old version
Dear Rei, One of the clients is running the web site using FreeBSD 4.7. [...] pkg_add -r php4-4.3.6.tgz I get an error message below. Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.11-release/Latest/php4-4.3.6.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) I believe that PHP4 (and most of the ports used in the server of your client) are not supported anymore. You would be able to download it from somewhere, there must exist archives, but you'd have to build everything by hand. Is there any suggestion on what I can do other than convincing the client to renew the server? (which I am doing but already been politely refused) 1) build a new system, with new Apache, new PHP, etc. and port the web site of your client to the new system. Let the client test and approve it, an install that on his old hardware. 2) get your boss approve the fact that the server of the client is ou of date and cannot be maintened anymore. Then you charge the client for colocation (electricity and internet) but the client is responsible for the maintenance.

You can find an archive of packages released with FreeBSD 4.11 here: ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/4.11-RELEASE/packages/All/ However, you'll find the packages are different than those released with your original version. A move from 4.7 to 4.11 doesn't really gain you much. Better off to start a migration strategy or leave it alone. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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

Strange I/O problem on Freenas 0.7.2
Hi all. I'm having a very weird problem with a friends Freenas set-up. I'm trying to backup his data before migrating to nas4free or just plain FreeBSD. The setup is as follows: HP Microserver N36. 2BG Mem (1713 MB Usable) (no swap) 4 x 2000GB (ST2000DL003-9VT166 Seagate) drives in a graid5 setup. Initially he had no problems with the setup. Samba share was fine and he populated the raid set with 3TB of data, but somewhere along the line the disk I/O went VERY slow. I initially thought this might be raid related and did some tests but actually found the problem to be on the discs.
