Questions about camcontrol, hot-swapping, ciss and Compaq SmartArray
Hello, Today I saw that one of my disks seems to be dead/dying in a RAID 5 array I have: http://pastebin.ca/937249 snip loki.domain.int ciss0: *** Fatal drive error, SCSI port 1 ID 0 loki.domain.int (da1:ciss0:0:1:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 0 c ae 3f d0 0 0 20 0 loki.domain.int (da1:ciss0:0:1:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error loki.domain.int (da1:ciss0:0:1:0): SCSI Status: Check Condition loki.domain.int (da1:ciss0:0:1:0): MEDIUM ERROR asc:11,0 loki.domain.int (da1:ciss0:0:1:0): Unrecovered read error loki.domain.int (da1:ciss0:0:1:0): Retrying Command (per Sense Data) /snip I see messages for port 0 only, but varying ID 0-3, and I'm not sure what that means (partition?). After a while the error messages went away, though the disks were/are still being used. I found cciss_vol_status online but it says the volume is OK (not degraded), which doesn't really make sense to me: # cciss_vol_status /dev/ciss0 /dev/ciss0: (Smart Array 642) RAID 0 Volume 0(?) status: OK. /dev/ciss0: (Smart Array 642) RAID 5 Volume 1(?) status: OK. Is there a way I can tell which port/disk is bad from these messages? Assuming I can determine which disk it is, do I need to do anything in the OS before/after I swap out a drive? I've seen people talk about rescanning and running other camcontrol commands before... Any other tips?

ACL mask problems
Hello, I'm getting quite annoyed at ACLs. I don't understand why this is happening: I have a directory that gets subdirectories created by a web script, but for some reason those directories have different permissions. Here is the parent's default ACL, which as I understand it should be what subdirectories are created with: # getfacl -d private/logs/mail/2007 #file:private/logs/mail/2007 #owner:1005 #group:1005 user::rwx user:www:rwx user:rsync:rwx group::rwx mask::rwx other::--- This is the ACL of a directory created by the script: # getfacl private/logs/mail/2007/10 #file:private/logs/mail/2007/10 #owner:1005 #group:1005 user::rwx user:www:rwx# effective: r-x user:rsync:rwx # effective: r-x group::rwx # effective: r-x mask::r-x other::--- This unfortunately prevents Apache from writing it's log files. Why did the mask change? I know there's some link between the mask and group permissions, or something weird like that, but I thought group being rwx and mask rwx would cause the new mask to also be rwx...maybe other is causing the issue? That seems pretty dumb to me. I've read various pages on ACLs, including the handbook, and I haven't been able to understand this. :( Thanks, Josh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Trouble making packages, wrong path
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I just created a new jail for a pkg repo and I'm trying to make packages, but it isn't using the correct path. I've tried all sorts of things to get it to work correctly but it insists on making packages in /usr/ports/section/port/ instead of /usr/ports/packages/All. I have another jail (pkg repo) that works which I've copied files from to try and fix it but it doesn't work. It's driving me batty. What would cause it to put the files in the wrong place? I've tried setting env vars all over the place but nothing seems to work.

Problems booting on a Compaq DL360 (P21 version)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I recently got two of these old machines used. One installed and runs fine, but the other... I've been working on it for three days now and I can't get it to boot. I can install just fine from the CD (using 6.1-R), but upon reboot it goes past the RAID init and gets to a blank screen with only _ in the top-left corner, beeps twice, and sits there. The good machine does beeps also, but continues booting. This one sits there for a few minutes and then gives me a non-system disk error; it doesn't seem to find anything to boot from. I've tried resetting the dip switch for configuration and doing the system erase and using the SmartStart CD to initialize it before installing. It wants to know which OS when I do this and I've tried Linux, Windows 2000 Server and Other, and none of them work... I haven't gone through all the (dozens of) options. The RAID array seems to work, no disk problems writing during install and nothing reported in the SmartStart utility. I've read threads about ACPI problems with 6.0 but I don't think I'm even getting that far. :( I tried taking the two disks from the working machine and putting them into the non-working one and it didn't work, I still get the _ screen and it doesn't move on from there. I'm installing simply by using A for auto-slices and A for auto-filesystems and installing the standard MBR. Has anyone seen this or successfully installed on a DL360 (g1 I think, P21 BIOS)? If so, is there a certain setting, OS or otherwise, that I might need to do?

RAID online capacity expansion
Hello, Has anyone out there successfully done an online expansion of a RAID array in FreeBSD? How is it done and with what hardware did it work? From what I can gather, it's not possible. Aside from the fact that fdisk(8) says Editing an existing slice will most likely result in the loss of all data in that slice, growfs(8) says it cannot enlarge a mounted filesystem. disklabel seems to be okay with making live changes, but I haven't tested it. Is there any way to do this in FreeBSD or is Linux+LVM the way to go?

Installing a custom kernel with sysinstall over NFS
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have NFS+PXE installs working, but I need quotas enabled. I haven't seen any way to do this other than a custom kernel, so I need to have sysinstall push a custom build kernel out instead of the default one. I copied the disc1 ISO to a directory, /var/export/6.0-RELEASE, and I need to update this with my custom kernel but I don't really know how. I found where it keeps the base distribution gz files, now how do I get my new kernel into there? I read online about making a release, and it seems I should go into my /usr/src and do a make release chrootdir=/var/export/6.0-RELEASE, is this correct or is there an easier way to do this? The machine isn't too fast, it takes overnight to build a kernel, so if there's a better way that would rock. I could copy my files and make my own gz's but I'm hoping there's a better way, or a way to fetch a different kernel, or something.

Adding lines to /etc/rc.conf during sysinstall wihout being REMOVED
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Does anyone know the correct way to add lines to rc.conf without sysinstall commenting them out and prepending REMOVED to them, during an automated install.cfg routine? Currently I have a pkg I made that adds stuff like ntp.conf and rc.conf, but all the lines in my custom rc.conf are removed after the script finishes. I looked through the code for sysinstall but didn't see any way to disable this behavior (my C isn't very good). What would be the correct way to do this?

iSCSI support
I read in the status report that work is being done on iSCSI, which is awesome. We're putting in a SAN at work, starting at probably 8 TB and growing. I'm currently looking at a Coraid AoE (ATA-over-Ethernet) solution since it seems to have good support for FreeBSD and Windows drivers in the works. On the other hand, iSCSI has Windows support and FreeBSD in the works. Has anyone out there had experience with either iSCSI or Coraid/AoE on FreeBSD for a SAN? I'd like to know what NICs/HBAs and stuff works well and what doesn't, if anyone has experience with it.
