I upgraded our two main backup servers which are doing I/O via rsync/rsnapshot and sending ZFS snapshots to the other remote site every 15 minutes. I had several instances where the machines went unresponsive. They didn't panic, and they did respond to CTRL+ALT+DEL on the console, but they lost all networking and wouldn't do anything else.

You might want to first browse through the sections here to get an idea: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-features.html HA should be implemented only on the Data storage tier, Active/Active, but one of the sites is remote! When everything is working, each application accesses the local MySQL tier, but when the local MySQL becomes unavailable, it should be able to automatically move to the other database server. I have no access to the application, so I cannot modify it to test if local MySQL is working. So I should have an HA mechanism that enforces changing the IP address on the database server. This is easy. Use HAProxy. It can test to see if your local MySQL instance is up and running and if it detects it is not it will automatically pass connections to the remote site's MySQL server. If both servers are installed at different places, with different addresses, would there be a way beside establishing an IP tunnel/VPN between both places to have all machines in a single subnet? This seems unnecessary. Why do you need them to be on the same subnet? An image is here http://www.cs.ait.ac.th/~on/HA.gif I am really bothered by the IP tunnel, but that's the only way I see to keep HA.

php problems
A few years ago (2011) I set up an email system for a small internet based company. I used postfix with a mysql backend for virtual accounts. I also set up apache to test a php based webmail front-end. I set up several php scripts that would run from cron that would query a database and look for new email account requests and then do a variety of tasks to get everything set up properly. After I left, someone else made modifications to the system and things stopped working properly. A few months ago I was asked to try and get things working again. I discovered that all php scripts now generate a seg fault. I tried a simple hello world type program the actual code is : ?php echo test ? and the output was; testsegmentation fault The system is FreeBSD 8.2 and php 5.3 If anyone has any idea of what changes might have been made that could cause this, please let me know. My other thought was to try reinstalling / upgrading php.

Re: 2 lines
The right way to handle this is to get your own IP allocation and do BGP out both providers. Then the internet can reach you over both internet connections and when one goes down all traffic is routed through your other connection. Another feasible, but poor option: proxy your services out in the cloud and have it be intelligent enough to be able to reach your content over both providers and properly failover when one goes down. ___ 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

In the above configuration, you could have 8 groups of 8 cpu-cores, each handling a specific set of jails.

At the end of the line the question is: how can I make this virtual network and the external real network be able to communicate ? Thanks in advance. Pietro. 1. That link is from 2007. So very much has changed since then. There are more current links on the internet about this subject. Most are for 8.X releases. 2. If your running 8.2-RELEASE or 9.1-RELEASE all you need to add is options vimage statement to your kernel source and recompile. 3. There are 2 networking methods available for creating vnet/vimage jail networks, if_bridge/epair and netgraph. The if_bridge/epair method is far simpler to config and use then the netgraph method. 4. There are 2 methods of jail setup, the rc.d method where your jail definition parameters go into the hosts rc.conf and the jail(8) method where you can place each jails definition parameter in separate files. 5. There are two very important show stopper PRs on vimage, 164763 memory leak and 149050 the rc.d keyword nojail problem. Vimage is a very long way from prime time usage, thats why it's labeled as highly experimental. Host system freezes and page faults are common. 6. When it comes to running a firewall in a vnet/vimage jail your limited to IPFW and it has limitations. Dummynet and in kernel NAT cause system freezes. IPFILTER causes page fault at boot time. PF will run on the host but not run in the vnet/vimage jail.

OT: posix sh problem
Hi all, Hopefully someone here is much more clever than I am. I've run out of ideas on how to cleanly convert this chunk of ksh to posix sh. This is from a BB/Hobbit/Xymon monitoring script for ZFS. I'd really like to have this working cleanly on FreeBSD without requiring any funky shells or using any temporary files. The following is supposed to be able to loop through the output of multiple zpools reading one line at a time and each line item is set as a variable: /sbin/zpool list -H | while read name size used avail cap dedup health altroot do # do interesting things here done Unfortunately you can't pipe through read in posix sh. You also can't use process substitution: while read var1 var1 (/sbin/zpool list -H) Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I know there's a python-based script floating on github but I cant guarantee every server will have python on it...

I can think of 2 things to do: a- export the pool first, then re-import b- Disconnect the original hdd / create pool bsdr on another hdd@s small gpt partition / re-connect the original hdd / somehow force the import or add the original pool to the newly created bsdr pool, and maybe the original data will come back on line??

I'm also anxiously awaiting some improvement in this area. ___ 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

No, the certificate being used on wiki.freebsd.org is NOT the one being used for (www\.)?freebsd.org. http://i.imgur.com/WHg9hI1.png If you're seeing the certificate from (www\.)?freebsd.org on the wiki site you either are a victim of a MITM attack or the specific regional FreeBSD webserver you're talking to has the wrong certificate configured. I'm not even sure if the FreeBSD website has multiple webservers based on geographical region. If you're seeing the (www\.)?freebsd.org certificate on wiki.freebsd.org site please report which IP you're connecting to so we can start comparing notes.

Is this any different for i386? It used to be that there's
no i386 pkgng repository.
I ran pkg and it fetched and setup pkgng. That was easy.
Is it possible that the November 2012 security incident means
there's still no installable packaged via pkg-install?
I was going to install rsync.
If you're interested, we've set up an unofficial but public pkgng format
repository at
http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng
To use these packages, just set your PACKAGESITE variable in
/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf like so,
PACKAGESITE : http://mirror.exonetric.net/pub/pkgng/${ABI}/latest
These have FreeBSD 8 and 9, i386 and amd64 kernel pkgng format packages for the
whole ports tree,
build failures notwithstanding.
You'll have to explicitly make the decision to trust or not these
builds, of course, but all are welcome to use them until the official
ones are available.

Re: Software raid VS hardware raid

Hot swap is more of an issue with the hardware. I have not tried it with SATA drives, although I think it should work. The Handbook chapter on gmirror talks about the problems with GPT and GEOM metadata. In short: right now, they conflict. It's possible to mirror GPT partitions, but be aware that if you mirror more than one partition on a drive, a rebuild after replacing a drive could thrash the heads as mirrors are rebuilt simultaneously. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html Why isn't gmirror more intelligent? I hate to use Linux as an example, but mdadm won't simultaneously rebuild multiple RAID sets if they use the same physical providers to prevent this. Could this be added as a feature?
