Re: Two-way Sync of Directories - how? (rsync?)
Have you tried unison (FreeBSD, linux, win32, OSX) ? http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ (available in ports too) Dany Steven N. Fettig wrote: I have two workstations I use (one at home and one at work) connected via a private DSL link that each have the directories /home/me. I want to run a cron job to sync the directories (bi-directionally). Rsync seems to work only in one direction (I know I could set up the script on both machines), but I wanted to see if I could run the script on one machine and simply copy new files over to the lacking machine or update files via checksums (where a file has been updated on one machine and I want that updated file to be copied over the old file on the other machine). I am not worried about the case where I might update a given file on both machines at the same time - it doesn't happen. Any advice and scripts that you use to accomplish this?

Re: Backups: rsync, software RAID, other strategies?
Hi Bob, I use the following configuration on my file server. It's a small cube based on a low power mini-ITX EPIA 5000 motherboard (fanless) and running two 120GB HDDs. I looked at RAID but it doesn't help solving one of the potential issue ... me, user removing files that are not supposed to be removed so incremental backup is a plus. This baby is powered by FreeBSD 5.2.1 (used to be Debian). DISK 0 (live) 128M ad0s1a / 512M ad0s1b swap 128M ad0s1d /var 200M ad0s1e /tmp 3200MB ad0s1f /usr 110GB ad0s2d /data DISK 1 (Backup) ad2s1d 128M /backup/os/root ad2s0b 512M swap ad2s1e 128M /backup/os/var ad2s1f 200M /backup/os/tmp ad2s1g3199M /backup/os/usr ad2s2d 108G /backup/data/backup I use 3 different programs : - Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/): 2-way synchronization using rsync/ssh, multi-platform graphical interface. I can have the same files on my file server, laptop running win2k as well as my desktop running BSD. Very convenient especially with laptops when you can't be connected all the time.Very fast too (only transmit diffs) - rsync (man rsync) : typical rsync that will mirror the source to the destination - rdiff-backup (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/index.html): it's based on rsync but you get the advantage of incremental backups so you can restore from a specific date. You can also purge the backup by removing old stuff. No fancy file format, just .gz for the diffs. Here is how I use those tools : /data/current/user0_live (DISK 0) UNISON : 2-way synchronization with laptop/desktop /data/current/user0_incremental (DISK 0) RDIFF-BACKUP : incremental backup of user0_live using RDIFF system /backup/data/backup/user0_incremental (DISK1) RSYNC : quick mirror of the already incremental backup /backup/data/backup/pictures (DISK1) RDIFF-BACKUP : in this case, rdiff-backup between drive0 and drive1 (no incremental on disk0) /backup/os/root (DISK1)DUMP : 1:1 copy of the live root fs /backup/os/tmp (DISK1) /backup/os/var (DISK1) /backup/os/usr (DISK1) RSYNC : (with -delete option) for a quick mirror of current /usr PS: for user0, there are two copies of the data on disk0, 1 live synchronized with Unison and another one which is an incremental of the first one. For less critical data (like /data/current/pictures) I use rdiff-backup between disk0 and disk1. In that case I would lose incremental backups if disk1 fails. I've simulated a crisis situation by removing the drive0 and swapping it with drive1. It worked (except for those entries in fstab referring to disk1). I have a cron job taking of the different backups at night. #!/bin/sh # Duplicate / # erase slive before mirroring, any other way? umount /backup/os/root newfs /dev/ad2s1a mount /backup/os/root # dump with 'live filesystem' option dump -0 -L -f - /dev/ad0s1a | (cd /backup/os/root ; restore -r -v -f -) # Duplicate /var umount /backup/os/var newfs /dev/ad2s1d mount /backup/os/var dump -0 -L -f - /dev/ad0s1d | (cd /backup/os/var ; restore -r -v -f -) # Duplicate /tmp (probably a wate of time) umount /backup/os/tmp newfs /dev/ad2s1e mount /backup/os/tmp dump -0 -L -f - /dev/ad0s1e | (cd /backup/os/tmp ; restore -r -v -f -) # incremental backup of the ./pictures directory on the second drive rdiff-backup /data/current/pictures /backup/data/backup/pictures # First, incremental of the user0_live dir on the same drive then rsync on the second drive rdiff-backup /data/current/user0_live /data/current/user0_incremental rsync -a --delete /data/current/user0_incremental/ /backup/data/backup/user0_incremental The only I don't like is the NEWFS command. Is there a cleaner way to do this dump ? I use this configuration is a non-critical installation (my house) but it has been serving its purpose so far. Dany PS: On the rdiff-backup webpage there is a link to another tool call duplicity (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/duplicity.html). You can do remote backup but in that case the image can be stored on a remote FTP server and encrypted with GPG... sweet if you're planning to use your ISP's disk space for backups! Bob Johnson wrote: A bunch of related questions: I'm setting up a small mail and file server. The mail server part will be Courier, while the file server part will primarily be used via NFS and Samba to store backups of my desktop and laptop computers.

My plan is to use one of the drives as a backup for the other. I want to use a backup method that creates a mirror of the working drive so that if it fails, I can simply mount the backup in place of the working drive, and get back in business.

Re: VMware 3 crashes 5.2 system
Vmware3 worked for me under 5.2RC2... I haven't tried on 5.2 Release
yet. The only thing that never worked was the full screen mode using
either nvidia or nv driver.
You can find some tips for installing VMWARE under FreeBSD at :
http://www.packetwatch.net/documents/papers/vmware2.txt
Here is what I did (comes from the link above and other sources... sorry
for the lack of copyright notice) :
Install Linux-base first (should be installed)
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base
# make install make clean
add to /etc/fstab
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
add to etc/sysctl.conf
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
add to /etc/rc.conf
gateway_enable=YES
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_type=OPEN
natd_enable=YES
natd_interface=vr0#physical ethernet card... put your own
natd_flags=
Now, we will set the firewall rules. Before we set the firewall rules
make a
backup of the /etc/rc.firewall file. Clear everything from the rc.firewall
file. Add the following to the file:
fwcmd=/sbin/ipfw
${fwcmd} -f flush
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to any via
vr0 - again replace vr0 with your physical interface
${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any
edit Kernel config file
options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT
options VFS_AIO # you can also use aio_load=YES in loader.conf
options SYSVSHM # should already be there
options SYSVMSG # should already be there
options SYSVSEM # should already be there
Recompile kernel, install, reboot
Install using ports.
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3
# make install
1) Do you want to use netgraph bridging? Yes/No
Answer No
2) What will the IP address of your host on your private network?
I like to use 192.168.2.1
3) What will be the netmask of your private network?
I like to use 255.255.255.0
In VMware Configuration Editor, change Ethernet Adapter to 'Host-only'
Edit .cfg file of the virtual machine.
vmnet1.hostOnlyAddress = 192.168.254.1
vmnet1.hostOnlyNetmask = 255.255.255.0
-- vmnet1.hostOnlyAddress should be the same as the vmnet1 interface
(use ifconfig to get it).
In the virtual machine, statically configure IPaddress to an IP address
on the same network (i.e. 192.168.254.2) and the netmask should be the
same as above. Set default gateway to 192.168.254.1. Add in DNS servers,
and you should be ready to surf the web or whatnot from within your
virtual machine.
After the installation is complete type:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh start
Now, run ifconfig to see the new interface: vmnet1. Then, run kldstat to
make sure the proper modules are running for VMware. You should see:
vmmon_up.ko
if_tap.ko
linux.ko
Then you should be able to start vmware, enter the license information
and configure your VM.

Using SBM Smart Boot Manager http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ I was able to boot my FreeBSD 5.2R out of the box which is located on the upper part of the disk (40G to 80G).

Re: windows killed my boot manager
I use Smart Boot Manager to boot my Windows and FreeBSD. If fits on the MBR of the first disk and allow ID swap as well as hidding. http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ Dan Dan wrote: I needed to reinstall Windows after a FreeBSD 5.x install.

However, looking at the FAQ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#WIN95-DAMAGED-BOOT-MANAGER to answer my question, the answers don't work for me: - if I try to run bootinst from within XP, it won't let it access the MBR - I don't have a floppy drive. When I go through this process on the CD, there's no (W)rite command in the partition editor (which should actually be called a slice editor, right?)

FreeBSD AGP or Nvidia AGP?
Running 5.2RC2 on a Epox 8K5A2+ motherboard I've experienced multiple hard reset problems while running simple process like compilation under KDE. The result was either a blank screen and reboot or frozen window. I don't know exactly where to look at in order to determine the problem. Dmesg doesn't show anything bad. If I understand correctly they are two ways of installing Nvidia graphic cards and using them with Nvidia drivers : using Nvidia AGP support or FreeBSD AGP support. I took the default one as described at the bottom of this email. What is the preferred method ? The one that would give the most stability (I don't really care about performance and fps). After those reboots and according to some posts, I changed my kernel config and commented the following two lines : #options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel #device apic # I/O APIC It didn't really help and I got the same hang up situations. So I've added hint.acpi.0.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints and it looks like more stable but didn't have time to confirm it. Can this problem come from the AGP support selection I've made or is it more related to ACPI ? Now that I've disabled ACPI, should I enable APM in order to be able to turn off the PC without compromising stability ? Thanks Dany 1) Use the Nvidia AGP support - cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver - make install Add Option NvAgp 1 in XFree86config : and nvidia_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf 2) Use the FreeBSD AGP support - cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver - make WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=yes install Add Option NvAgp 2 in XFree86config : and AGP_LOAD=YES in /boot/loader.conf nvidia_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
All the possible Kernel options
This week-end I was trying to get my Atapi CDRW to burn something and noticed I needed the CAM support enabled for it. Reading the handbook gave me the necessary option for the kernel : *device atapicam *It worked but I remember posting a question about where to find all the different options for the Kernel. The response was easy and located into the /sys/i386/conf/NOTES file (under 5.x). The thing is I couldn't find any trace of the Device atapicam in either GENERIC or NOTES. Is this normal or is there any other hidden options I should be aware of ?

Re: pkg_add and openoffice package problems (5.2-RC2)
I got OpenOffice working on my 5.2 with the help of a gentleman for the bsdforums who sent me a newer version compiled for 5.2RC2. I didn't want to compile it by myself (time consuming) so it was kind of him to make this available. Worked right out of the box. If you want I can post the file on my webserver so you can download it. Just say the word. Cheers Dany Luca Gerli wrote: Hello all, I'm totally new to FreeBSD, and I come from a Linux-Gentoo experience. I installed 5.2RC2 yesterday without much hassle, but I'm having problems installing OpenOffice.org v1.1 package, due to some dependency errors coming from pkg_add that I couldn't solve either looking at the docs or skimming through past posts. So, I downloaded the FreeBSD package from: http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz First thing I tried was to run pkg_add on the downloaded package, which failed due to some dependency errors: falcon# pkg_add ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz pkg_add: could not find package glib-1.2.10_10 ! pkg_add: could not find package gtk-1.2.10_10 ! pkg_add: could not find package ORBit-0.5.17 ! Then I tried the -r option, hoping the command would automatically download the missing and necessary packages, without much luck as pkg_add refused to use the local ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz, and was looking for it on ftp.freebsd...: falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ i386/packages-current/Latest/./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz' by URL I then set the PACKAGESITE to the appropriate link to download openoffice, but then this same site was used to download the missing packages which were obviously not found. falcon# setenv PACKAGESITE http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/current/ falcon# pkg_add -r ./openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz I'm surely doing something wrong, but my questions are: . is there a way to specify more than one FTP/HTTP source for packages ? PACKAGESITE does not seem to accept a syntax where different URLs are separated by a semicolon (:); . do I have to manually download the necessary packages that openoffice depends on ? Or is pkg_add really able to do that alone ?

Re: AMD Processors
My 2600+ overclocked doesn't complain on the 5.2 (worked also with 4.9) Don't worry I don't use it a production server ;) For the kernel configuration you can even optimize the compilation for such processors (5.x only) : options CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK options CPU_ENABLE_SSE and also a special cpu type in the make.conf /CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp/ I would think that the second one (CPUTYPE) is more critical than the first set of options (more multimedia oriented).

I promise I will switch to fbsd) as well as data (2 directories) : DISK 1 / OS current | | user 1 current --- UNISON with laptop/desktop... backup | |- user 1 backup RSYNC-BACKUP of user 1 current, incremental backup DISK 2 / backup | | linux backup - RSYNC of the file system from the first drive excluding data | - user 1 backup (2) - RSYNC of the user 1 backup directory (already incremental in the first place) I use 3 different programs : - Unison : 2-way synchronization using rsync/ssh, multi platform graphical interface. I can have the same files on my file server, laptop running win2k as well as my desktop running Linux/BSD. Very convenient especially with laptops when you can't be connected all the time.Very fast too (only transmit diffs) - rsync : typical rsync that will mirror the source to the destination - rsync-backup : it's based on rsync but you get the advantage of incremental backups so you can restore from a specific date. You can also purge the backup by removing old stuff. A couple of cron jobs take care of the different backups at night. I don't know if that answers to your question but I thought that could give you some ideas. Dany Francisco Reyes wrote: With every HD problem I loose less and less data. On my last episode I lost only the current day's worth of data (backup at night). However I realised that I also need to backup programs installed on the machine. It takes a long time to rebuild all packages (I had a list of ports I had installed). How do others backup their programs? I am undecided between trying to backup the entire /usr/local and making packages of my critical ports and burning that to CDs. I also took care of all system files, but I realized that backing up all of /etc wasn't so helpfull if I didn't know which files I used. I also, as of last crash, am going to backup /usr/src since restoring all of /etc only makes sense with matching sources. The one thing I have against trying to backup all of /usr/local is that something like PostgreSQL may cause the backup problems whereas the package solution will be a one time deal and will not affect production. The other thing I learnt that needs to be backed up is the /usr/ports directory. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I also keep several days worth of backups in case I corrupt a file. Overall I think I have the data part of the backup covered properly, although I plan to backup some directories every few hours instead of daily. - Unison : 2-way synchronization using rsync/ssh, multi platform graphical interface. I use unison to backup data from a remote machine to my local machine, - rsync : typical rsync that will mirror the source to the destination Why use both unison and rsync? Unison can do the same as rsync. Because it's one-way, so no worries about conflicts. I know I'm not supposed to change the destination files but I like to use a one-way backup solution. - rsync-backup : it's based on rsync but you get the advantage of incremental backups so you can restore from a specific date. You can also purge the backup by removing old stuff. Will look it up. I made two mistakes in my description. First the tool is call rdiff-backup (and not rsync-backup which also exists) : http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/index.html Secondly, for the OS, I also use rdiff-backup and not rsync so I have a fast, space efficient, incremental backup of the OS too ! PS: On the same web page you will also find a link to another tool call duplicity (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/duplicity.html). You can do remote backup but in that case the image can be stored on a remote FTP server and encrypted with GPG... sweet if you're planning to use the disk space of your ISP for backups! Cheers Dany A couple of cron jobs take care of the different backups at night. Same thing here, except that I plan to do some dierctories more often (ie emails). I don't know if that answers to your question but I thought that could give you some ideas. Didn't really answer what I asked, but all suggestions/feedback/comments on how other people are doing things are always welcome. It helps to see other possible solutions to what one is doing. I am a firm believer in learning from the experience of others if they are willing to dedicate the time to share their experience with me. :-) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Mounting CDROM as user under 5.x
Hello, Because I didn't get any response on BSDforums, I've decided to try my chance here. I'm trying to get my single user (belonging to the wheel group) mounting a CD drive under 5.x using devfs (5.2RC2). Could somebody post a very simple howto showing the files to modify ? Thanx So far I've tried the following things without success : mkdir /home/username/mount/cdrom chown username /home/username/mount/cdrom chmod 755 /home/username/mount/cdrom added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf vfs.usermount=1 added the following to /dev/devfs.conf link acd0 cdrom perm acd0 0660 added /etc/devfs.rules with [my_ruleset=10] add path 'acd*' mode 660 added the following to /etc/rc.conf devfs_system_ruleset=my_ruleset /dev/cdrom now shows up and root can use it to play a DVD for example but user cannot use it either directly (/dev/cdrom) or when trying to mount a CD (mount_cd9660 /dev/cdrom /home/username/mount/cdrom) .. the result is Operation not permitted Thank you Dany ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mozilla-firebird dependency on gnomecontrolcenter?
Chuck, Did you solve this issue? I had a similar problem on my first 4.8 install. I was getting No running window found. and then I got got the shell prompt back. I didn't keep track of the things I've changed... but I think it started to work after I ran fc-cache (It took a while for that command to complete). I still get the No running window found. msg, and then my firebird window would start.

Now when I run firebird, nothing happens (i.e. no browser window, no message stating an error, no core dump, and nothing logged to dmesg). Since there aren't any error messages, I'm not sure what info to send you. The machine is running 4.8-RELEASE with Linux compatibility built into the kernel. firebird -v reports [92] firebird -v Mozilla 1.5a, Copyright (c) 2003 mozilla.org developer build This is a FAQ. When you update mozilla you often need to remove your old .mozilla directory (save the bookmarks.html if you like). They are not very careful to maintain backwards compatibility. This is a brand new system that has never had a .mozilla dir mozilla is also VERY sensitive to being built with consistent library interfaces - if you have stale headers lying around on the system, or old/mismatched versions of the dependencies, it can become confused in this fashion. Kris Would you suspect this to be a problem on a brand new 4.8 install (i.e. there has never been anything else on this disk)? Maybe it doesn't build with a stock 4.8 version of ports?
