Probably because syslog-ng relies upon pkgconfig, but assumes it will be installed by one of the dependent ports so doesn't explicitly declare the dependency. Poudriere has a habit of only installing the immediate dependencies of the package it is currently compiling, so exposes such issues when a port is updated, but none of its dependencies are. Bug ports/181098 is another I found like this. Add this to the port's Makefile after the include of bsd.port.options.mk: USES+= pkgconfig If that corrects the issue you're seeing, submit a pr. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

Huh. Apparently I ran across this myself in the past, since I found a

The reason this occurs is because you and I are building with NODOC,
which leaves dist/doc empty, and the above find construct will refuse to
-delete if the directory specified on the command line is one of the
ones that would have been deleted.
Either patch the makefile as above, tell make to ignore the return code
of this find invocation, or put some non-empty files into
/usr/obj/usr/src/release/dist/doc during the release building process
(like a README pointing to the docs tarball on the mirrors) to make it
not trigger the empty condition.
Hope this helps!

My scripting skills are not that good. To avoid interaction when scripting or logging portmaster, in addition to the --no-confirm option, I usually set the following environment variables prior to invocation: BATCH=yes PAGER=cat The former should avoid any build-time port interaction (and mark the port BROKEN if it must, so I can deal with it manually); the latter causes portmaster to use 'cat' instead of 'more' to display the pkg-messages afterwards. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

Try turning PARALLEL_JOBS to 1 in poudriere.conf and then rebuilding all the packages. This sounds very similar to a behaviour I was witnessing with non-pkgng repos constructed by Poudriere, whereby the INDEX was ending up incomplete, and so the dependencies were never installed by pkg_add -r. I would imagine a similar race condition could be affecting pkgng as well. I just haven't had time to troubleshoot it very far, and the above seemed to alleviate the issue. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

You can use dump(8) to dump a SU-journaled filesystem; you just cannot create a snapshot. This implies that dump(8) will be run against the live and possibly changing filesystem, which can lead to issues with the consistency of the contents of files thus dumped; but not necessarily with the consistency of the dump itself. Any tool that backs up a live filesystem, such as rsync or tar, will have these issues. > Sigh.

I've used rsync to back up Linux and FreeBSD machines daily for years, and I've never had a problem with the backups nor subsequent restorations. Especially for restorations of the laptop that ate SSDs. Having a decent snapshot capability on the backup target filesystem can help a lot if you want to maintain multiple sparse backup revisions; otherwise, you're stuck using creative scripting around rsync's --link-dest option. > I see that rsync can nowadays properly cope with all sorts of oddities, > like fer instance device files, hard-linked files, ACLs, file attributes, > and all sorts of other unusual but important filesystem thingies.

There will /always/ be problems. The best you can do is become familiar with the tools and procedures so you can tackle them when they happen. My suggestion for something that you can use as a warm standby is to create it as a warm standby: go through the entire installation procedure again for the backup drive, and then use rsync or suchlike to periodically synchronize the second filesystem with the first. When you update the boot code on one, do so on the other. Be extremely careful if you decide to do this with both disks attached to the same machine: if you use geom labels (gpt, ufs, glabel, et alia) or dynamically numbered storage devices, you can easily run into a situation where a reboot with both devices attached suddenly starts using your backup instead without you realizing it, or flips back and forth. > P.S.

Do the disks pass a read-only scan or 'long' SMART test? While unlikely, it is possible that one of the devices picked that precise moment to fail.

If I were to hazard a guess, it's because systemd is intended to replace a subsystem which is simple and has had decades of testing with something that is as yet largely unproven. If not done properly, and with competent oversight, it could result in an unmaintainable system that requires more than just a text editor to repair. Just imagine losing a library against which systemd is compiled: no single-user mode because 'init' couldn't start at all now, and no /bin/sh because the startup scripts required to get the machine into a usable state are no longer written in bourne shell. But the larger issue, in my analysis, is that it forces feature creep into any other posix implementation that must support it to run software that depends upon it. FreeBSD has a jail implementation that is far more advanced and secure than anything Linux currently offers; yet systemd requires what basically amounts to a neutered version (containers) so that it can keep track of processes. Not a dishonourable endeavour in and of itself, but then it's like GEM/KMS all over again, where smaller, more resource-constrained teams are rushing to add otherwise-unneeded features to their kernels in such a way that won't cause instability or security vulnerabilities. In this case, there isn't even any compatibly-licensed reference code for containers that can be freely used; the implementation must be engineered from scratch. Lastly, it's also LGPL-licensed; either someone will have to convince the authors to dual-license it, or a BSD-licensed implementation will have to be written. With the current FreeBSD GPL-exodus, I don't see the adoption of further GPL/LGPL code having much chance of succeeding; especially when said code is required to actually bootstrap the userland. Personally, I think diversity is good, and systemd does offer alternate options that were previously lacking in a sysvinit/bsdinit world; but systemd could be a lot more flexible in supporting platforms that are other than Linux or GPL. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

If you have set dumpdev in rc.conf to the location of a swap device (or AUTO to have it pick one), the core dump (and a neat automated analysis, on 8.x and later) should end up in /var/crash. Keep in mind that coredumps can be as large as the machine's installed RAM, so you will probably want at least that much swap and disk to hold it. Also, there may still be some issues with obtaining consistent coredumps on multiprocessor machines, but I got rid of the miscreant hardware before I could test that claim on anything newer than 8.1.

But zpool gives me a > total of 2.72T, as though the third disk was for data. raidz does not operate entirely like a traditional raid5. It stores enough redundant information to survive a full disk failure, but that's where the similarity ends. When you write to a raid5, the data is striped in even strides across n-1 disks, and parity is written to the remaining disk. The layout is very rigidly structured, such that you can always determine where a particular piece of data will end up by performing simple arithmetic. When you write data to a raidz1, a single ZFS data block is chopped up into n-1 equal-sized pieces (plus 1 piece for parity), and stored wherever it will fit inside the pool. The storage allocator will make sure that each piece ends up on a separate physical disk, but that's the only restriction on placement. So, when looking at the zpool itself, you see raw capacity that is burned through at a rate of four-thirds (for a 4-disk raidz) as you commit data to the pool. > # zfs list > NAMEUSED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT > backup2 206G 1.58T 31.3K /backup2 > backup2/20120615206G 1.58T 206G /backup2/20120615 > > Well, that makes more sense, total is 1.78Tb. ...but, when looking at the dataset itself, you see how much (compressed, deduped) data is present (since you don't care about parity at this level), and how much more data the allocator predicts you can safely store on this dataset (which is affected by things like compression, deduplication, reservations, and quotas). > # df -g > Filesystem1G-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > backup216180 1618 0%/backup2 > backup2/20120615 1825 206 161811%/backup2/20120615 > > Now the total is 1.82Tb.

Because df was designed in the era of static filesystems that never change capacity and always write verbatim, zfs has to be 'creative' to represent the size in a manner that would be in any way useful to a user.

Say: kgzip kernel Curious, it doesn't even look like that binary is hooked into the build process at all on 9.0-RELEASE. It's manpage indicates that it is unsuitable for loader(8) use, and that just running gzip(1) on the kernel file is sufficient; a fact to which I can attest, since I compress everything in /boot/kernel to save space on my flashcard installs, and the loader has no problem decompressing it on the fly. kldload(8), on the other hand, still seems to be incapable of handling gzipped klds. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

This error is from the kernel build process attempting to build the code for a kernel module. Define either MODULES_OVERRIDE or WITHOUT_MODULES as detailed in make.conf(5) to avoid building the if_et module. Note that the syntax of the MODULES_OVERRIDE and WITHOUT_MODULES variables consists of a space-delimited list of directory names found under sys/modules/ and not the canonical module names as found in /boot/kernel/, so some footwork is necessary. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

To my knowledge, Windows (XP, at least; probably others) labels the boot filesystem on install, and just probes all disks every boot for a filesystem with the given label. This is why you can move a Windows disk around with relative impunity (as long as the controller drivers are installed); but simply copying all those files to another filesystem (a-la dump/restore on BSD) never results in a bootable OS, even if you put them back in the same place.

Administrative failure should not be confused with technical failure. Static device nodes are appropriate when the topology is fixed and can be reasonably anticipated. With variable topologies, such as USB, iSCSI, multipath, and PCI hotswap, the disk controllers may not even exist at boot, or may be reordered based on probe order, or the order in which the remote units respond; and that's before the kernel even gets around to setting up the devices attached to those controllers. You cannot reasonably expect the system to statically allocate device nodes for every possible configuration that may exist for all technologies that might be added to a machine, so why offer the expectation when the system cannot possibly hope to fulfill it for even a fraction of the common cases? > Case in point.

Sounds like a bug in the BIOS or boot loader. The boot loader should be able to ask the BIOS for the device from which it read the boot code, and use that instead of just naively using the the first available device in the system; the only instances where I've seen this fail have been on machines that should've been put down years ago.

How about when you add a PATA drive to a machine, but the cable is blocking the last available bay; so you have to move an existing drive to a different position on the cable to make room for the one you're installing? Static device numbering won't save you now. Or how about those silly BIOSes that assume that you must really want to boot to the new disk you just attached to the machine, so helpfully rearrange your boot order for you so now you're booting to a strange disk with who knows what on it?

However, all nestable geoms protect their metadata (when it exists) by providing a device that is smaller, so any nested consumer never even sees the provider's metadata. The end of the glabel device to which zfs writes its metadata in your implied example is actually several sectors prior to the end of the device or partition to which glabel writes its metadata. Explicit glabels are not strictly necessary with the GPT partitioning scheme, since the glabel module can peek into the GPT data structure, extract label names from there, and automatically create appropriate /dev/gpt/ entries for those labels. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

Ideally, you would label the partitions according to their usage. glabel will automatically create labels for GPT partitions based on the GPT 'label' field; likewise for UFS, MSDOS, and ISO9660 filesystems. For example, one of my (few remaining non-ZFS) machines looks like this: 8< /dev/iso9660/root on / (cd9660, local, read-only) /dev/ufs/boot on /boot (ufs, local, read-only) /dev/ufs/conf on /conf (ufs, local, read-only, soft-updates) 8< The root filesystem on this machine is actually mounted off a uzip-compressed iso image on a BSD partition burned to some flash; but the unimportant details are hidden behind the label, which just presents a plain filesystem. It doesn't really matter where these filesystems are: they can be moved to completely different disks with wildly different partition schemes, or even to iscsi- or ggate-imported disks, and the system will find them perfectly by their labels. This works for ZFS as well: since there's no guarantee where these disks will show up, and the ZFS code will not be able to find them across reboots if their names change, labels are useful for assigning static names to the partitions or slices that make up a pool: 8< pool: amani state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM amani ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/amani/r0 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/amani/r1 ONLINE 0 0 0 8< To answer your question, though: You cannot combine GPT with glabel (or any other geom class that writes data to the first or last 34 sectors of a disk, like gmirror) due to layout conflicts. MBR and BSD schemes can be used, since they occupy only the first sectors of the device, and their monikers will be appended to the label. Thus, labeling a single-slice MBR disk (/dev/ada0) with 'test' would produce /dev/ada0, /dev/ada0s1, /dev/label/test, and /dev/label/tests1; nesting a BSD table within s1 would add /dev/ada0s1a and /dev/label/tests1a as well. > The other option seems to be to use tunefs or a partitioning tool to > label each partition, which is even more ugly imo. Ugly how?

If I remember correctly, the old ATA subsystem (ad*) does not support hotswap notification, so the kernel will not see a device change until reboot or reinit.

It is especially useful when you cannot ping, as it can tell you if the packets are even arriving. In my case, it helped indicate that packets were arriving, but that, because I had re-used the SSID, the client was applying encryption settings (from the old AP) that the new AP was not expecting, and so the packets were arriving horribly mutilated. >> wlan0 itself will not assign v4 addresses to clients; you need a DHCP >> server for that >> > I plan to use static addresses as I do already (this is just a backup in case > my WRT54G develops any issues).

Bridging using if_bridge(4) is a different beast, but one that seems much easier to set up in comparison. I am using it in a slightly different configuration for another project, and it's pretty straightforward. Bridging does not require gateway mode to be enabled, as the packet forwarding is performed within the bridge driver, instead of within the network stack. Because of this, however, proper firewalling of wired and wireless clients is more difficult, and can weaken the security of your implicitly trusted cat5 cables. >> If you're intending this to be a home gateway, you will likely also need >> NAT. > > > I think NAT is handled by the telco hardware (on cable) for now. > > Hmm, starting to think this may not work as I expect.

I cannot say this is an easy task, given the number of components involved in a functioning gateway. I can say that it is quite possible given the software involved, though, since I've been running a homebrew FreeBSD-based gateway for years, and just yesterday introduced built-in wireless to replace the aging WRT54G AP and reduce power requirements further. > So maybe this is a solution in search of a problem.

Getting the wireless component functional by itself seems to be the biggest hurdle at the moment; after that, it's just one block atop another. I did recall one more potential issue: during testing with a Gentoo machine with an iwlagn adapter, my adjustments frequently confused the adapter so thoroughly that it refused to function correctly without a reset, even when the settings were correct. It's more annoying, but a full reset of all hardware involved after each change might help isolate any changes that put the hardware into an inconsistent state.

Re: a gmirror disappears after adding gjournals to its partitions
On 11/24/2010 04:52 AM, per...@pluto.rain.com wrote: > It looks to me as if gjournal is confused: It is not gjournal that is confused; it's bsdlabel. The gjournals lie entirely within the partitions defined within the bsdlabel, and don't care about anything outside of that. The ambiguity here is that the bsdlabel is stored at the beginning of the disk, and is very loose about what it accepts as valid, since there is no direct harm in being eager. The metadata for gmirror is stored at the end. The metadata for the bsdlabel is stored at the beginning. When bsdlabel tastes before gmirror, it sees the same label on the component disks that would be on the gm0 mirror. Moreover, all the partitions it then creates are identically sized, and contain exactly the same data, as they would on the mirror. It will complain that partition 'c' doesn't cover the whole unit, but this is not a fatal error as it doesn't take exclusive access, and so you are always free to use that same bsdlabel through another geom path. The problem arises when bsdlabel tastes ad0 before gmirror, and creates all the partitions thereupon, which triggers a taste of all the newly created devices by gjournal, which opens the devices exclusively once it finds the metadata it needs within the partitions. Now that they're opened exclusively somewhere, all the other paths to that device through the geom graph are withered, and cannot be tasted or used by anything else, including gmirror. Hardcoding provider names into gjournal makes it reject these ambiguously created devices. Since gjournal doesn't take exclusive access, gmirror can now taste the still-available ad0, see that it's a mirror, and launch gm0, which triggers a taste by bsdlabel (and creates the partitions) which triggers a taste by gjournal, which matches the names its expecting.

There are a few bioses that throw fits when not all the disks include mbr/slice tables, but those (thankfully) tend to be the minority. Plus, since GPT expects metadata at both the beginning and end of the disk, seeing gmirror metadata instead may prevent it from creating these ambiguous device nodes as well (but test this assumption before relying on it). >> or to make the inner geom avoid the outer devices (hardcode >> provider names in metadata).

When you create a mirror, you give it an explicit name, which will not change over the life of the mirror without your explicit action. This name does not have to be 'gm0' or some such.

Since both gmirror and gjournal are greedy (they take exclusive access of their parent providers upon successful taste, and not upon exclusive access to their own providers like glabel), the first one to successfully taste and start is the winner; the other will never get to taste those devices. The trick here is to either make the two look different somehow (use a different geom that stores its metadata at the beginning of the provider, instead of the end, thus eliminating ambiguity in the bsdlabel taste), or to make the inner geom avoid the outer devices (hardcode provider names in metadata).

On 10/01/2010 12:52 PM, Matthew wrote: > I would be grateful for any pointers on how to resolve this. I suspect > the error message may not be exactly descriptive of whats happening. Kinda. Here's a few points to keep in mind when working with bind in FreeBSD: * By default, named runs in a chroot jail rooted at /var/named/. * For security reasons, named cannot write to anything in that tree, except the dynamic, slave, and working directories. * named uses its current working directory to resolve relative pathnames in the configuration file. * With a recent change to ISC Bind 9, named started complaining if it couldn't write to its current working directory. At the time, this was (chroot)/etc/namedb/; this was subsequently changed to (chroot)/etc/namedb/working/ to make named happy without compromising security. When the working directory for named was (chroot)/etc/namedb/, everything was peachy. Since this was changed, relative pathnames no longer work as expected because the reference point is different. The easiest solution is to alter your configuration file to include only absolute pathnames, relative to the root of the jail. The default named config file (in /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf) is an excellent source of examples for this. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

You've configured a raidz, which chews up extra space to store the redundant parity information; thus, for a 4-disk raidz, 1GB of stored data will use up about 1.33GB of raw space. Since effective capacity in ZFS is so variable, due to things like ditto blocks, raidz, compression, and (soon to be added) dedup, the numbers provided by df no longer make much sense.

Discard file cache
Hi! I'm helping port a utility [1] to program the EyeFi card [2] and I seem to be running into problems properly manipulating the configuration. The card is programmed by writing encoded commands to certain hidden files on the card, and reading the coded responses back from other files. Since the card modifies the data in these files independently of the host operating system, there is a need to avoid all caching (read and write) whenever interacting with the card's interface. fsync(2) works for eliminating write caching, so that's no issue. While the Linux port of the software successfully accomplishes avoiding read caching by utilizing posix_fadvise and POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED to clear the caches for a particular file, the same does not appear to function on FreeBSD. I have also tried using msync with MS_INVALIDATE, but this doesn't appear to work either. Is there an official (or at least consistent) API for discarding a file's cached read data, so that it may be fetched afresh from the backing store? Thanks!

I have run into something similar, while building a ZFS install to run on an Intel SS4200EHW NAS device. Utilizing a series of scripts I have developed[1], I was able to compact an entire functional FreeBSD system into 4.6MB /boot and 84MB root with mkisofs and mkuzip, without permanently tying up a bunch of the machine's limited RAM with an MFS, and with acceptable performance despite the IDE channel's speed limit of 1.6MB/sec. Plus, boot and root are read-only, so the CompactFlash card won't wear out prematurely. You can make use of src.conf(5) while building world and kernel to eliminate a lot of unnecessary userland components, and MODULES_OVERRIDE and WITHOUT_MODULES to control what modules get built, as the kernel build process will build all modules regardless of what might be in your kernel config. Be prepared to perform lots of testing, though, as a missed critical dependency can appear to succeed, but leave something else broken.

Especially since all you really need is one working floppy disk and two floppy-drive-equipped computers to do it. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

I'm fairly certain it's gigabit the whole way, as I get transfer rates greater than 12 megabytes per second. Unfortunately, forcing the phy to 100baseTX/full-duplex does not alter the symptoms at all, and just makes transfers slower. On one of the tests, issuing a shutdown -p after unplugging the ethernet cord caused it to panic and reboot at the point it usually freezes, and thereafter freeze during startup when running netif; I wasn't able to copy down the panic info, though, as the reboot happened within half a second. Alas, this box lacks obvious serial ports. I may investigate building the kernel without the alc device, though, and see if unloading the kld prior to shutdown allows the system to continue past that point.

Atheros AR8131 Ethernet hangs shutdown
Hi! I recently had the chance to play with a Foxconn NetBox-nT330i. It's based off an Atom 330 CPU and an nForce MCP79 chipset. All aspects of this device appear to function quite well with 8.1-BETA1, and it's diminutive stature is quite cute. The only issue I have encountered with it thus far is a seeming propensity for it to lock up on shutdown or reboot if the Atheros AR8131 ethernet adapter is not connected to anything. It gets as far as displaying the 'Uptime' line, then hangs; however, when connected, it will display the uptime message, then indicate that the alc0 interface is going UP and DOWN, then continue. What sort of information would be the most helpful to collect to assist in tracking down the cause of this behaviour? If there is a better mailing list with which to consult, that too would be helpful.

Thus, the above assignment ends up expanding to '0=1'. Leave out the $ on the target variable, and it becomes 'flag_count=1', which is more likely what you intended.

Certain daemons will chroot(2) to that directory to perform sensitive privilege-separation operations, or when they know they will not need to interact with the filesystem to perform their duties. The directory must remain empty to ensure the operation is secure. The best way to ensure no files are accidentally or intentionally created there is to set it schg, which forbids any changes to the directory (such as linking a file there). -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Furry Peace! - http://www.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

During boot, the loader uses the bios-supplied routines to load the kernel, modules, and md root. One would hope the bios knows how to communicate with its hardware. By the time sysinstall is running (from the preloaded memory disk), the kernel has mapped all the hardware it knows, and no longer utilizes the bios routines for I/O. Thus, if FreeBSD knows not of the hardware connecting the CD drive, it will not be able to present it as an option. Fortunately, once you get this far, you need not actually use the CD to install; network installation works quite well. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

This is an excellent idea, and one I ultimately ended up using.

These changes are probably not worthy of inclusion into the official tree, so I'm looking to maintain an overlay, of sorts, in the spirit of Gentoo's overlay capability.

What magic > am I missing that you probably meant under "fix it"? That's the point. Once you have the requisite knowledge and understanding of the innards of the kernel and the intricacies of the filesystem, and how these two interact, then you will know how to 'fix it'. With that understanding, you may also know when it is safe to tell the kernel to ignore a panic that occurs to inform you of a critical problem that could cause far more damage were it left alone. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

[FreeBSD Questions] Filesystem image as root
I have been thinking and experimenting for weeks, but I cannot figure this out. I have an Intel SS4200 NAS that I wish to use as a ZFS NAS with FreeBSD 8.0. The device has 4 SATA bays, and I don't want to use one for a UFS root disk. I don't want to use up hundreds of megabytes of RAM preloading an mfsroot that can never shrink. The single IDE connector is accessible via the legacy ISA ports, and is thus limited to PIO modes (about 1.6MB/sec max, even with an actual hard drive instead of a CF card). Performance is acceptable when using a geom_uzip image from a CF card on the IDE connector, as a lot of it ends up cached in RAM (and is evictable in case of memory pressure, unlike an mfsroot). Try as I might, I am unable to figure out how to use a uzip imagefile on UFS as a root filesystem, without dedicating a slice/partition to it. There seems to be nothing approximating GNU/Linux's pivot_root, and using a stub init (which cannot be a shellscript...?) to mdconfig and mount the image, then chroot to that to exec /sbin/init appears to lead to instant deadlock. I don't really like the idea of mounting the image somewhere below root, and using symlink spaghetti to get everything proper; especially since I wish to place such essentials as /sbin and /etc thereupon, which leads to a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem with setting up and mounting an image that contains its mdconfig and mount... Am I missing something obvious here, or am I truly treading unexplored territory? -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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"

Before you remove the drives, export the zpool; after moving them, import the zpool. This will scan all connected devices and put everything where it needs to be.

Build it as you want it on another machine using ports, then run on that build machine: pkg_create -b -R This will turn the selected install (and all its dependencies, with the -R flag) into tbz packages in the current directory suitable for pkg_add on the target machine. If there are any missing dependencies on the target machine, pkg_add will try to load them from the same directory from which you are adding the main package. If they do not exist, it will most likely fail, so you will likely want to copy over everything that pkg_create spits out, unless you know it's already installed and up to date on your target. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ 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: gmirror slice insertion, "FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51"
Thomas Sparrevohn wrote: > The error occured after I had the disk for a couple of days - WHat puzzled me > was that the drive > did not do it automatically Hard disks will not map uncorrectable bad sectors on read automatically, as it no longer knows what the contents of that sector should be. In this instance, the sector is usually remapped during a write. Given the symptoms of the problem described above, it looks like this uncorrectable sector is located in a portion of the disk that isn't touched by FreeBSD's newfs or installation procedure, and would never have a chance to be written to and corrected. Then, when the mirror sync occurs (which copies every block verbatim, regardless of whether it's in use or not) it's choking on that sector and locking up the disk, thus freezing the OS. One thing to try prior to RMAing the disk is to fill the entire disk with zeroes (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad6 bs=131072 or similar) to give its firmware a chance to remap all flakey sectors, and rewrite all ECC information. I do this with every new or freshly acquired disk that's guaranteed to be empty, to ensure that no surprise errors bite me later on, as well as to make sure no previous data hangs around. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Any ideas? Make sure that the shebang at the top of the script (#!/bin/sh or similar) points to a valid shell, and that it uses unix-style end of lines. If a control character or linefeed gets in there somewhere, the kernel won't be able to find the proper interpreter to run the script, hence the "test.sh: '' not found." -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
