Re: Big external drives - which filesystem?

2006-11-16 Thread Alistair Sutton

On 16/11/06, Chris Hastie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I've just acquired a Western Digital 200GB USB 2 external HDD. After
some initial glitches my FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE machine seems to recognise
it fine.

It comes pre-formatted with a single FAT32 file system (although
confusingly there is a note in the manual about FAT32 not supporting
partitions 32 GB and suggesting you change it to NTFS).

Attempting to mount this hits the mountmsdosfs(); disk too big, sorry
problem.

The primary intended use for this drive is for off-site backups, but it
would be useful if it was formatted such that I can easily plug it into
Windows boxes to get at files occasionally. What are my best options for
achieving this?

The MSDOSFS_LARGE kernel option seems to come with a lot of warnings and
caveats. Is it really as ropey as it sounds? Is NTFS an option?


I've not had any trouble using that option but then I tend not to have
too many files open once I've mounted the drive. IIRC the main
warnings about using the option was that memory isn't freed until the
drive is unmounted and as a result would gradually eat up your RAM the
more files you had open etc etc. I could be wrong though ;-)


Or would
I be better partitioning the drive into two FAT32 partitions of  128GB
each? If I go down that route how does this appear to FreeBSD -
presumably as different slices on da0 which are mounted separately?


You'd end up with da0s1 and da0s2 (for example).

Re: Problem with Portsnap Update

I encountered this immediately after running 'portsnap' this moring:

python25-2.5


'python-2.5' does not even appear to exist in the ports tree.


Doesn't python-2.5 live under lang/python25 or has it been removed
from the ports tree?

(Hopefully that doesn't sound like a rephrasing of your question)


'py25-tkinter-2.5_1' also seems to have a problem. Is there something
wrong with this mornings portsnap update?


The problem could come from the downgrading of lang/python back to 2.4
after some problems were found with the 2.5 import.

I've not seen any instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING for those people
that upgraded to python-2.5 before the change was reversed. What would
be the best course of action? (I force-upgraded all the ports that
were depending upon lang/python because I'm crazy and have loads of
time on my hands).

Re: what are pX and #X

2006-10-04 Thread Alistair Sutton

On 04/10/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

What are pX and #X after the version displayed by 'uname'? As far as I
know pX is the 'patch set' and #X is the number of times the kernel has
been updated.

However, yesterday I updated the kernel (of 6.1 installed from the boot
CD and then FTP - some time ago) and p jumped to p10, while #X remained
zero. I thought pX changes only when world is built and #X should have
been changed to #1.

What I did was -

cvsup-ed src with tag RELENG_6_1

cd /usr/src
create MYKERNEL config
(just commented cpu I486_CPU and I586_CPU)

make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
reboot


My understanding is that as long as pX doesn't change then #X will be
incremented.

If you do another rebuild of your p10 system now then I would imagine
that #X would increase to #1 and will continue to increase until pX is
altered.

Hi all,

I'd probably start by getting rid of the -rR from  your portupgrade
command as (unless I'm misreading the man page) that will try to
upgrade all the ports that tcl depends on, plus all the ports that
depend on it.

Just running portupgrade tcl should be all you need to do. Whether
or not it will fix the problem you're describing I'm not sure but give
it a try.

  I find that portmanager generally does a better job at keeping ports up to
  date without manual intervention. A notable example being its ability to
  upgrade Gnome without the help of a script.

 I also found portupgrade both more capable in many cases and more easy-to-use
 (just portmanager -u to do what one usually wants to do).  Too bad it was
 pulled from ports.

It added back into ports very shortly after it was pulled. Quite what
its future is going to be do though I don't know as the author now
seems to be concentrating on Linux as being portmanager's main
platform.

Assuming you're running FreeBSD 6 (or -CURRENT) then unless you've
knowingly turned off background fsck, all you need to do is just leave

Switching the commented lines around to this
CODEC_PORT= ${PORTSDIR}/multimedia/win32-codecs

I'm unsure as to where the problem lies so I wouldn't entirely
recommend making the change unless you're willing to spend time fixing
things if they get broken (note: I've had no problems so far but since
I don't fully understand the way the port works I'm not going to say
this is the Right Thing To Do ;-)

Re: portmanager coredumps [with backtrace]

2005-11-12 Thread Alistair Sutton
 I all ready have one pr against this port that looks like it will be pending
 until maintainer time out.  Saw this a while bck and thought I had
 portmanager working around it. Mind testing the attached patch and seeing if
 it helps?

Note: my /usr/ports tree is symlinked to somewhere within my home
directory so I don't know if this is causing any problems.

With the patch, rather than coredumping, portmanager now offers to
remove the win32-codecs port.

The output is like this:

 Unix/FreeBSD/ports/multimedia/avifile/../win32-codecs is no longer in
the ports collection, see /usr/ports/MOVED
this port must be removed for portmanager to continue
is it OK to remove  from your system? (yes/no/auto yes to all) [y/n/a] [y]

 find / /usr -xdev -mtime +7

 There are plenty there that I created or belong the packages e.g.
 /etc/mail/$HOSTNAME.mc and /etc/X11/XFConfig

 Obviously dollops of common sense are needed, but has anyone attempted
 to formalize this type spring cleaning?

There is something that was committed to -CURRENT a month or so ago
that will delete out-of-date files but I can't remember what the name
of it is.

I'm sure it'll get MFCed from -CURRENT at some point once it becomes
more stable.

At the moment, portmanager dumps core on FreeBSD 6 (and presumably

Installing portmanager from a 5.4 package works though (as long as you

 This is obviously my issue. I cannot figure out what variables to set.
 What I think it should be, it whines about.

 Can someone at least POST what we should use so this will at least be
 in the archives once and for all?

To get the openssl port to overwrite the base files built by the
system you need to put

OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes

into /etc/make.conf

If you then don't want the system to rebuilt openssl you'll need to have

NO_OPENSSL=yes

in /etc/make.conf as well otherwise each time you update your world it
will overwrite the files installed by the port.

It might be easier just to have

WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes

in /etc make.conf so that software will always try to build with the
openssl from the port. Even though the system will rebuild openssl
each time you update your world, nothing outside of the base system
should try and use those libraries.

It might be an idea to read

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf

to get a full list of what the various options are and what they can do.

HTH,

It'll just force the rebuild of amavisd-new.

If you did a 'portugprade -fR amavisd-new' then you'll rebuild all of
amavisd-new's dependencies as well as amavisd-new itself.

 Wait...duh...manpage says it will *also* do a rebuild.  Second

 is there a way to get all the subsequent modules to rebuild that depend

You could do a 'portupgrade -f /var/db/pkg/p5*' to rebuild all the p5*
ports after you've rebuild perl if you like but that is probably only
necessary if you don't do 'portupgrade -fR'.

The output seems to suggest that p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4 isn't

Why it is looping the build I don't know.

Have you tried manualling installing the amavisd-new port? If there is
a problem with the dependencies then manually installing the port

should no longer need to rebuild it thus allowing it to continue on

 right now it looks like after manually deinstalling/reinstalling a
 couple of the perl modules Amavis depends on (well, spamassassin) it
 builds, but there's a problem with a MIME module or something depending
 thereof :-/
 
 I get mime_decode-1 FAILED errors in the amavis logs.

I'm guessing that may have something to do with one of the perl mime
modules but I've no idea which one (helpful aren't I? ;-)

 Is there a way to rebuild amavis and all the perl modules it uses
 easily?

Apologies for asking this but have you read /usr/ports/UPDATING
specifically wrt the recent perl upgrade? Could be worth running the
perl upgrade script mentioned there.

I know that portmanager should handle the upgrade without any issues
but I've not managed to have enough time to let my system work through
all the perl-dependent ports yet.

You could use 'portupgrade -fR amavis' to rebuild all the ports that
amavis depends upon as well as amavis itself. That should work things
out in the right order and rebuild everything so that all dependecies
are sorted.

You can put the option in /etc/make.conf if you want but then it will

If you read the manpage for portmanager I think it should tell you

I don't think portmanager will find and move them but if the port gets

/usr/ports/packages.

The best thing would possibly be to just search for all *.tbz files

I don't think it will affect any distfiles but I'm not sure if there

 Hi, I´m currently using the book by Gary R. Wright and W Richard Stevens
 ¨TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2¨, which uses the 4.4BSD-Lite source code as
 example. My question : Up to which version of FreeBSD is the 4.4BSD-Lite
 code used ? Has it changed much and if so is the source code for older
 version of FreeBSD and/or the code for 4.4BSD-Lite still available for
 download somewhere ?

You can check it out from the FreeBSD CVS repository using the
bsd_44_lite tag.

 Many FreeBSD mirrors still carry code to FreeBSD 2.0, but that is not
 what you want if you just want 4.4BSD-lite.  I think the BSD-lite code
 is still available as a tarball to download from various places.  40MB
 or so if I recall.  I couldn't find it from a very quick search, but I'm
 sure you could find it.  It may even be on ftp.FreeBSD.org if you know
 where to look.

Re: Wine: user_ldt not recognized?

 Hi folks,
 
  trying to install wine on 5.1Release the build of Wine-20030508.tar.gz
 from ports went fine but told me to rebuild the kernel, among other
 options, with
 
   USER_LDT
 
 Now, the kernel build tells me
 
CAMSOUNDWINE: unknown option USER_LDT
make: don't know how to make depend. Stop
 
 What gives?

USER_LDT is included in the kernel by default on 5.x systems so there is
no need to specify it in your kernel config.
