Re: svn revision in uname
I hope it will be removed soon, it pollutes the uname -a output. 2012/12/15 Lowell Gilbert freebsd-questions-lo...@be-well.ilk.org Anders N. wic...@baot.se writes: Hi. I've noticed in my uname -a on 9.1-RELEASE there is r243826. This is on a system that upgraded from 9.1-RC3 using freebsd-update (binary). On another system, upgraded from 9.0-RELEASE via freebsd-update (source), there is nothing at all and uname -a looks normal. Two other people I asked have r243825 (installed from ISO) and r243872 (upgraded from svn). They're all 9.1-RELEASE, shouldn't they be the same, final version? As I understand it, the revision ID refers to the whole repository, not just a branch. So if you do your own svn checkout tomorrow, you'll get yet another revision number, even though the files will (probably) be completely identical to what you checked out yesterday -- ongoing commits to HEAD will keep kicking the revision number up.

Right? awk 'getline no filename; print no' If there's only one input file, then this is super easy and you don't even need any of the getline or close stuff. Try: filename=$1 awk '{no = $0; print no;}' $filename In the shell script context (outside the awk), $1 refers to the first command line parameter of the script. You don't want $0 there. On the other hand, *inside* the awk part, dollar-sign variables have a completely different meaning. $0 in *awk* (not sh) means the entire contents of each line of the input file. So if your file had multiple lines, that block would run multiple times. But since I'm guessing your file only has one line (that being the number in question), the awk block will only run once. ~Ben ___ 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

Most applications achieve that via the pam_lastlog(8) module. As to why you cannot see anything in the file beyond a certain point: perhaps the file data got corrupted in the middle?

Curious question about using zfs send -R and receive on FreeBSD
I recently migrated a machine that was built on a VM to physical hardware using the zfs send -R option against a snapshot of its root zfs setup. I went from smaller drives to larger, both using a mirrored zpool. However the devices were different, the device IDs on the VM were da0 and da1, the device IDs on the physical hardware were ada0 and ada1. I had used labels when creating the gpt layout to plan for this. And all worked great, in fact it was the fastest I have ever converted a virtual machine to a physical machine. After I finished though, I got curious, was it actually necessary for me to mount the new boot zfs partition while running on the live cd and copy the zpool.cache file I had created when creating the zpool or would have the existing cache file that would have been included in the zfs send contained the right information? As the zpool was pointed at the gpt label devices, or was the fact that the size changed enough difference that copying the file was indeed necessary? -- Thanks, Dean E.

Here is the output of camcontrol showing how the disks are detected within the OS: [root@QA1HWFBSD83201 ~]# camcontrol inquiry da0 pass0: VMware Virtual disk 1.0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device pass0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit), Command Queueing Enabled In the VM settings I can increase the disk size but I can't seem to find the right command within FreeBSD to force it to detect the new, larger size without a reboot. 'camcontrol rescan all' works great to detect a new drive but doesn't detect a larger disk. Within a Linux distribution like Debian, the following command will detect the larger drive: echo 1 /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan I apologize if this has been answered in the archives or online but I just haven't been able to get a definitive answer if this is possible, and how.

Re: FreeBSD as VMWare guest / disk resizing
It can be done but it's not easy and not pretty. You'll have to rewrite the partition scheme to grow *only* the last partition and then use growfs on the last partition to zero the new inodes within its newly defined range. You'll of course need to boot from another medium to do this. I usually use DruidBSD for this: DruidBSD-1.0b1.iso (a tiny 23.5MB ISO that you can write to thumb disk with dd or burn to cd; either works fine) Boot from it and use the tools like disklabel -e /dev/yourdisk But… be extremely careful and do your mathematics! I know this isn't a complete step-by-step guide, but I wanted to get the answer out there that this is possible and it's a known quantity, but it can be dangerous if you get the math wrong when editing the disklabel positions, for example. If you can get that part right, the rest is easy (growfs). -- Devin On Dec 17, 2012, at 4:15 PM, Luke Bakken wrote: Hello everyone - I'm looking for a way to get FreeBSD 8 / 9 to detect that an already existing disk has grown.

Re: Partitioning - please not that again
Several trials failed, but perhaps the kind of issues do lead to the cause. I'll describe one trial. Power on - Enter to boot - Shell - # sysinstall - Standard - set up MBR partition - ada0 - keep geometry: yes - OffsetSize(ST) EndName PType DescSubtype Flags 063 62 - 12unused0 63 121274433 1212574495 ada0s1 8freebsd 165 121274496 250 121274745 - 12unused0 121274746 503862599 625137344 ada0s2 4ext.DOS 5 625137345 5103 625142447 - 12unused0 Q = Finish - Boot manager: None - For other trials I also used W instead of Q and/or I deleted and created ada0s1.

i386 vs. amd64
Ever since 8.X (my system is now 9.1-RC3 [done via csup]) been using i386 with the following main ports: x11-wm/xfce4 www/firefox www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 editors/libreoffice www/tomcat-7 www/apace22 devel/aegis (I am the maintainer) devel/fhist devel/cook java/openjdk6 emulation/virtualbox-ose (and additions) print/cups I have avoided amd64 in the past due to some or not all them working, but want to switch if possible because PAE seems to be broken now on i386. So I have the following questions: 1. Will all the above ports (and their dependencies) work on amd64? 2. Is there any way to do a in place switch to amd64 or do I need to rebuild the system from the ground up? 3. In general is amd64 now as capable of handling ports and such as well as i386 does? ___ 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

Re: last not showing recent login activity
Hi Matthew, Zitat von Matthew Seaman m.sea...@infracaninophile.co.uk: Errr... OK. Yours is a different issue with utx.log. It is not syslog that updates utx.log but the various programs like login(1) or sshd(8) that actually handle the authentication when you try and log in. Most applications achieve that via the pam_lastlog(8) module. As to why you cannot see anything in the file beyond a certain point: perhaps the file data got corrupted in the middle? You might be able to tell by examining the file with hd(1) or getent(1) -- try: getent utmpx log /var/log/utx.log You might also fine the getutxent(3) man page enlightening. Thanks - that's exactly the information I was looking for. I investigated the utx.log with getent and hd. Looks like your guess is proven - it contains definitely more data than last actually shows. I did not find the reason in detail yet but I could track this down to an event occured on the affected machine during the time of the last shown data (had to perform a hardware reset due to a hanging FS snapshot, causing me to do a manual fsck).

Re: i386 vs. amd64
Hi, wasn't the same question here a few days ago?

Apache 2.2 runs. devel/aegis (I am the maintainer) devel/fhist devel/cook java/openjdk6 emulation/virtualbox-ose (and additions) print/cups Yes. The ones I did not answer, I do not have installed. I have avoided amd64 in the past due to some or not all them working, but want to switch if possible because PAE seems to be broken now on i386. It was a big jump forward when I switched during 8.0 or 8.1. So I have the following questions: 1. Will all the above ports (and their dependencies) work on amd64? I gave you the answer if I knew one. I general, I do not have problems which are linked to 32 or 64 bits. 2. Is there any way to do a in place switch to amd64 or do I need to rebuild the system from the ground up? To my knowledge, it is still a fresh installation. Just download an image and start from there. 3. In general is amd64 now as capable of handling ports and such as well as i386 does? I saw that some ports I used to use on i386 went 100% smooth on amd64. I believe that this has improved even further. Just make the jump.
