Re: virtualbox with FreeBSD as host

No where in that section does it say anything about virtualbox running from the FreeBSD host command line or from A Desktop. Do I need a Desktop for virtualbox to run under? NOPE !! VBoxHeadless -startvm vm name Issueing VirtualBox from host command line gets this msg. Failed to open the x11 display VBoxHeadless -startvm vm name assumes that there a vb guest all ready configured which is not my case. Right! I assumed you already had the VM ready. Sorry. There is no man page for VBoxHeadless command. There are those: http://download.virtualbox.**org/virtualbox/UserManual.pdfhttp://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf and http://www.virtualbox.org/**manual/ http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ VBoxHeadless is covered on both. How do a configure a vb guest from the host command line? VBoxManage can do all that from command line. Check it out or follow my previous e-mail. I read the UserManual and think I am barking up the wrong tree. So lets start over again with what the wanted desired result is. I have 9.0 installed on my 200gb hard drive, it's configured to use the first 100gb leaving the second 100gb free. I was going to install XP in the second half and have a duel boot config. Then I find out XP has to be install first on the HD meaning I have to install 9.0 from scratch again. I read a post on this list where it was suggested to run Virtualbox on my 9.0 host and then run XP as a guest. I want to boot the 9.0 host and login to the 9.0 host, start the Virtualbox XP guest and enter the XP guest [IE: be in the XP OS windows environment], can I do all that from the host command line? I do not run x11 or any desktop on my 9.0 host. I do not want to use an second PC to login to the VB XP guest over ssh. I think I am misunderstanding your ask, so I will describe what I have which sounds awfully similar. I have a headless 9.0 box with plenty of CPU cycles and HDD/RAM to spare. I have installed virtualbox on it, as well as phpVirtualBox (might have the wrong name there). Using phpVirtualBox, I can start/stop/config virtual machines on the host. So I used my Win7 box to create a virtual Win7 (or in your case WinXP) and got it all installed and setup using my laptop. Once it was configured, I copied the virtual hard drive to the fileserver, configured a new virtual machine to use that hard drive and set the network to bridged. After starting the virtual machine on my FreeBSD box I was able to remote to the virtual machine using terminal services (built into windows). The installation of virtualbox on my fileserver did install x11 components, but by using phpVirtualBox, it is all started headless. Hope this helps. ___ 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

HDD READ/Timeout messages after 8.2 Upgrade
Greetings, I replaced mobo/cpu/ram today and found the onboard nic not fully recognized. Since the kernel is just over a year old I decided to try a system upgrade to see if the new hardware would get recognized. I did a csup this afternoon, then a build world/kernel (kernel is default but without debugging enabled). After the reboot step, the system has started spewing hdd errors such as: ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=575 Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/label/rootfs ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3401887 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3403135 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3409375 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3775391 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=388383 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=388427 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=388463 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=388495 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=388743 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=388795 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=389087 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=389015 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=389075 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3407999 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2660479 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2760223 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2742879 ZFS filesystem version 4 ZFS storage pool version 15 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2652351 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2633899 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (0 retries left) LBA=2633899 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=2652159 ad12: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=1704757232 ad14: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=637648115 ad14: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL48 retrying (0 retries left) LBA=637648115 ad8: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=637646968 ad12: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=637646967 ad14: TIMEOUT - READ_MUL48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=1682297102 ad6: TIMEOUT - READ retrying (1 retry left) LBA=3400319 /copy The hardware is a 30g SSD for the O/S and system, and a 4x 2TB RAIDZ array for all else. Reverting to the old kernel has gotten the system back to normal operation, but I would like to move forward. I found a message from someone experiencing a similar issue, but it was geli related and had hardware errors in the message. Above ad6 is the UFS SSD, all other drives are SATA RAIDZ spinning disks (ad16 is non-raid spinning disk ZFS). I have attached the dmesg from the 8.2 PRE-RELEASE kernel. The physical hardware seems fine, particularly since it works on the 8.0 system. Not sure how to troubleshoot and isolate the issue. Any pointers? TIA Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.

[Solved, mostly]: zpool status hangs zfs command, possibly related to spindown

I have a raidz setup with 4x 2TB drives, plus a UFS CF on the IDE
channel I use to boot off of. I have an 1TB ZFS (non-raid) drive in
an attached docking station that I use for nightly backups. Since the
drive in the docking station has no fan on it, and is only used for
about 2 minutes per day, I have a spindown script added to rc.d:

However after running a spindown stop twice within a couple minutes, I
see this in /var/log/messages:

If I issue a 'zpool status storage' command (main raidz) it returns
normally. If I issue 'zpool status' or 'zpool status backup' (backup
is the drive in the docking station), the command hangs. 'zfs list'
also does not return nor do zfs mounting commands associated with the
backup drive.
When I was using 7.x (without ZFS), I was able to use spindown and the
drive would spin up when being used, then shut down after the
requisite inactivity time. Is this no longer recommended, or have I
hit a bug/regression in the ata controller?
I am remote to the machine right now, so I am hesitant to reboot it to
get the spundown drive back up and running. Does anyone know of a way
to kick start a spundown drive so it is mountable (as a short term
fix) and the proper way to spin up/down the drive for 8.x (for a long
term fix).
TIA,
Derrick
Replying to my own thread. Turned out to be a hardware problem - the
eSATA plug had become slightly dislodged from the docking station
explaining why FreeBSD couldn't properly talk to the drive. Wonder if
this uncovers a hotswap issue with either the hardware or the
software. It seems like the device should have been removed from /dev
when the cable came out rather than the ZFS tools hanging when trying
to read... In any case, my backups are running again and I am once
again getting daily report mails, so the need for me to investigate
this further has dropped.

GEOM corrupt or invalid GPT detected on ZFS raid on Freebsd 8.0 x64
Greetings, After not getting daily system mails for a while, then suddenly getting them, I took a closer look and noticed this message appears after a boot: +GEOM: ad4: corrupt or invalid GPT detected. +GEOM: ad4: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable. +GEOM: label/disk1: corrupt or invalid GPT detected. +GEOM: label/disk1: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable. label/disk1 should be the same thing as ad4, and it is part of a 4 disk raidz.

Going from memory, I performed the following steps: * Took the disk offline * Powered down the system * Replaced the physical disk * Powered up the system * Used glabel to label the new disk with the same name as old disk * Told ZFS to replace the disk The operation appear to be a success in that the drive resilvered and the pool is listed as online.

FreeBSD 8.0 system setup with ZFS steps
Greetings, I created the following guide when I was trying out ZFS in VirtualBox on my windows machine. I created 5 hard drives: 1 to represent a flash drive to boot off of, 4 to represent the large hard drives I would be using in raid. It seemed to work to get a running system, but wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid or missing a good step. FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS *Setup Use a 2gig Flash device. 1 gig is enough space though. 512M will be tight. Collect the 4 other SATA drives. *Start FreeBSD normal install. Select the flash device as the device to install to. Use the entire device Install the bootMgr Create a single slice taking up the entire device, mount to / Select distribution minimal Run install Normal post install answers Reboot *Activate ZFS (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/filesystems-zfs.html) Follow instructions for RaidZ Be sure to add the instructions for daily raid mails *Create mount points in pool home local obj ports src var share tmp *One at a time, copy existing data from / to new mount points. Instructions are in the link above *Reboot (make sure nothing is broken) *Swap zfs create -V 4g storage/swap geli onetime -s 4096 /dev/zvol/storage/swap (encryption, might not be needed) swapon /dev/zvol/storage/swap.eli *pkg_add -r bash *Add users *Normal setup at this point. /copy My goal is to not burn out the flash drive with a bunch of writes, so it should primarily be read only, with the occasional edit to a config file or installworld. I tried putting /etc in a ZFS pool to take advantage of snapshots and such, but the machine couldn't find the boot drive as that information is stored in /etc and ZFS is not loaded at that point. Am I doing something stupid that may burn out the flash drive or cause the system to be rather slow?

Hello list, I plan on rebuilding my home fileserver next month with FreeBSD 8.0 x64 and will be using 4x 2TB drives in an external eSATA hotswap enclosure using RAIDZ. I have played around with FreeBSD in VirtualBox just to see how easy it is to deal with ZFS, but a few questions have come up for this configuration. 1) In the event of a disk failure, how do I trace back the name such as adX to a physical drive in the enclosure? Is there a way to take the drive offline then use atacontrol to spin it down or something so it is easy to identify? 2) In the event that I do experience a failure and manage to replace a working disk instead of the failed disk, am I now completely hosed or can I put the working disk back in and try pulling another drive which is hopefully the bad drive? 3) Finally, does the extra load of resilvering the replaced drive 'age' the good drives causing them to fail quicker? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ___ 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

Is there a way to take the drive offline then use atacontrol to spin it down or something so it is easy to identify? In my opinion you are best off using glabel(8) to give names to the disks. This way you can name them in a way that makes sense to you. Additionally, when you create the ZFS pool you will use the glabel'd names. This means that the pool will still come up properly if something causes your devices to be numbered differently (i.e. a drive dies and you happen to reboot the system). I believe ZFS does this automatically. Supposedly, if you take a working set of RAIDZ drives from one machine and put it in another, ZFS will figure out the drives since they get labelled by ZFS internally. My question concerns how to identify the physical disk in question based on the adX or glabel name? Different name in software is fine, but if the drive fails I want to make sure I pull the correct drive. Depending on your controller it is also probably worth it to use one of the SATA-specific drivers in FreeBSD 8 - these are ones like ahci(4) and siis(4). While the generic ata(4) driver will work for pretty much everything, the updated AHCI drivers can take advantage of some more features. Enable the modules at boot to use them. I will look into it, thanks. The machine in question is 2 year old hardware currently with a 3ware raid card. I will be going software raid only, but FreeBSD already recognizes the eSATA drive I have attached as a backup device so I know the O/S can at least talk to sata drives attached to the mobo. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. ___ 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

sendmail not authenticating with smart host
Greetings, Due to port 25 restrictions, I am trying to get my brother's email server to authenticate out on port 587. I have sendmail talking via port 587, but it is not properly authenticating. To help narrow things down, I am having his machine route all mail to my machine with authentication. His machine is a running version 7: 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 Here are some relevant parts of the hostname.mc file: define(`SMART_HOST', `myserver.com') define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')dnl FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info.db')dnl auth/client-info has this: AuthInfo:myserver.com U:hisuser I:hisuser P:password M:PLAIN And I have created client-info.db hash. I have copied the config file workflow from my server which uses smtp auth to talk to my ISP on port 587. On myserver.com, I do see that his machine connects to me, but I see this error in maillog: Relaying denied. Proper authentication required. When I was trying to go through his ISP, I got this error message in his error log: stat=Service unavailable. We share ISP (from different states though) and I am still able to send via my ISP. I even tried to directly copying my auth info for the ISP from my box to his (so he would be sending as me) and I got this same error.

sendmail secondary server routing to alternate port
Greetings, I recently had to rebuild my brother's all in one box to get a SATA controller working. It is now running 7.0 release and was previously using courier and the mail system. With this rebuild, I have switched him over to sendmail and most things are working, but I discovered a small issue with sendmail that I am having trouble working out. As well as being his own primary email server, he acts as secondary for a couple of my domains, the tricky part is my ISP shut off port 25 access to me (no, I am not a spammer) so I use port 587 for handling mail. With courier, I was able to specify specific ports to communicate with on a per domain basis. For example, if I was relaying for example.org on port 2345, I would specify example.org:2345 and that is the port it would use to talk to example.org. Now that I have switched to sendmail, I don't see a way to set the destination port on a per domain basis, only on an all or nothing basis. Am I missing some piece of the documentation or is this an actual limitation of sendmail? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I haven't looked at NUT recently, but I expect the various flags that you are supposed to test are another way around this problem. Trying to test out the scripts, I ran into a road block.

What is in your notify command? I set my NOTIFYCMD in upsmon.conf to a simple shell script I created to send the message via sendmail, here is my script if that helps: #!/usr/local/bin/ksh #set -x SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail MAIL=/usr/bin/mail HOSTNAME=/bin/hostname MYHOSTNAME=`$HOSTNAME -s` echo $* | $MAIL -s UPS Alert from $MYHOSTNAME [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Derek I was previously pointing it at the provided upssched process which is supposed to handle timers and such and fire off upsshed-cmd which is a provided shell script that I had modified. This is the 'documented' way of doing it and gives the extra benefit of being able to add timers so if the power goes out for 3 seconds, I won't be notified. Using your script directly did work for lost/gained power events so I guess I can go that route. I won't be able to do timers or anything, but I will at least be notified when the power goes out. I'll be checking the safe power down this weekend.

Re: Nut and RAID on FreeBSD 7.0
Greetings, I have a RAID fileserver plugged into a UPS and nut is able to communicate with it successfully. With the winds making the lights flicker, I started looking into having the computer shut down when power goes out for more than say 5 minutes or so. Looking at the documentation, I found that the 'true' solution is more like the system goes into a safe state when the battery gets low, then the ups eventually dies. When power is restored, the UPS and computer are supposed to both come back to life. This would be a great system to have in place, but it does sound a bit risky and so may not be worth doing just to save my home fileserver. The instructions and the conf file have the shutdown command of 'shutdown -h +0' which will halt the system. The man page for halt says the the disk cache will be flushed, but doesn't mention anything about going to read-only or anything. I suppose my first question is whether or not flushing the cache is sufficient to save the RAID (5) array, or if I need to find a way to get the file systems into read only mode? The second question has to do with a rc.d script that nut recommends creating. The script does a 'upsdrvctl shutdown' and then a sleep 120, basically waiting for the machine to die while in the script. Won't this block the other rc.d scripts? Also, is this the magic part that enables the machine to auto power up when power is restored? Changing the shutdown command in nut to 'shutdown -p +0' looks like the sure fire way to get the system down clean before the power is lost, but if my concerns are not valid, then I could be missing out on some nice functionality for no reason. Does anyone have experience with this? I have my servers all using nut to safely shutdown. My configuration is the servers are set up with one as master for nut, that master connected to the UPS. The other servers are slaves and get their nut information from the master. My setup has the servers wait until the UPS is on low battery, then they all shutdown. As a separate part of the setup, the servers are set in their BIOS to power on, after a power failure. This is in the BIOS power setup. So if there is a minor power problem, the servers run from battery. In a larger power outage, they are shutdown cleanly once the battery level is low, and power up automatically once power is restored. In my upsmon.conf file I have this: SHUTDOWNCMD /sbin/shutdown -h +0 If you want more specifics, I can look through the configuration files and email you relevant settings. After doing more reading, I am confident that a shutdown -h would be sufficient, but am a bit concern on the order of operations. The nut documentation has a recommendation to add a kill script as such: #!/bin/sh if [ $1 == stop ] then if [ -f /etc/killpower ] then echo Killing the power, bye! /usr/local/libexec/nut/upsdrvctl shutdown sleep 120 fi fi /copy Even if I name this zz_killpower.sh to make it run last, depending on how long it takes FreeBSD to flush the cash after all rc.d scripts are run, I could end up doing a dirty power down, right? Without this, if the power does come back while before the battery finally dies, the system won't restart since the power was never fully interrupted at the computer side? As far as my experiences using nut with RAID and different setups if the shutdown command works from a command line, it will work the same from nut. I would also suggest you test your setup. Pull the plug on your UPS and watch what happens. I absolutely will do a full test as such before I put full faith in the setup, but I want to first minimize the chance of me destroying the file system during the test. Also you should employ other monitoring systems and scripts, should a system not reboot correctly, you do want to know that quickly. -Derek ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are reading the old documentation. The current nut, 2.2, has complete rc scripts that are installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d You need only define the flag file you want to use in upsmon.conf Also define what actions you want in that file as well. You need to use the sample files installed in /usr/local/etc/nut and be sure to read the comments. I have 2.2 installed and am using the existing scripts. In the comments in uspmon.conf, there is this part: # -- # POWERDOWNFLAG - Flag file for forcing UPS shutdown on the master system # # upsmon will create a file with this name in master mode when it's time # to shut down the load. You should check for this file's existence in # your shutdown scripts and run 'upsdrvctl shutdown' if it exists. # # See the shutdown.txt file in the docs subdirectory for more information. POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower Which in the related documentation means I need the custom shutdown script mentioned above which checks for the existence of the /etc/killpower file before doing the upsdrvctl shutdown command to kill the UPS before the battery is completely dead. I suppose in your situation you won't need this extra script as you run until the UPS is critical whereas I am trying to kill the system a bit early, before it is critical.

I would assume from the above that I could perhaps use some other utility to create a big single slice. Is the 2TB max implied here still true? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-August/095504.html Could be but I have *less* than 2TB... ___ I have a RAID-5 setup with 3 - 750GB drives.

Re: ls -l takes a forever to finish.
it is for sure. the fix would be mv /usr/home /usr/oldhome;mkdir /usr/home;mv /usr/oldhome/* /usr/home and after successfull move - rm -rf /usr/home I really hope you meant: rm -rf /usr/oldhome Also, mv just moves pointers around, wouldn't a cp -Rp be needed instead? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: QEMU and tap problems

Hello,
I've been following the various instructions I've found on the web in an
attempt to get tap networking with qemu-devel-0.9.0s.20070802 and
kqemu-kmod-1.3.0.p11_2 on 6.2-STABLE.
qemu was compiled with:

The kernel modules are loaded:
if_tap, bridge, aio, kqemu
The sysctls are changed:
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=ath0,tap0
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
The tap device exists:

The qemu-ifup script exists:
cat /etc/qemu-ifup
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig ${1} 0.0.0.0
I launch qemu like this:
qemu -m 512 -localtime -hda VMs/w2k3.img -net nic -net tap
Windows Server 2003 comes up. If I attempt to use DHCP to configure the
interface in W2K3, I get a several minute pause while it attempts to
contact a DHCP server, finally it fails with the message:
This connection has limited or no connectivity
and windows assigns itself the 169.254.244.101 address.
If I try to manually configure the windows interface, i.e.,
IP: 172.16.1.15
NM: 255.255.255.0
DG: 172.16.1.1
NS: 172.16.1.17
NS: 172.16.1.21
Windows thinks it has connectivity, but I cannot ping the default
gateway from the guest and I cannot ping the IP of the guest from the
host.
So at this point, I have no networking from the guest OS. About the
only thing that I haven't seen on the web is people using wireless NICs
in the host. In my case, I have an atheros chipset connected via WPA2
to my WAP.
All help is appreciated...
I just got tap working with an earlier build of qemu using clues from this site:
http://forums.bsdnexus.com/viewtopic.php?id=1563
Also, I can only get it working when I run it with sudo at the moment
and I have only tried with a wired nic. I have read in some places
that encryption causes problems with tap, but I don't have a link to
where I read it.

This shouldn't delete anything required by the stuff you want to keep and should clean out most of the kipple. Multiple runs are suggested and deleting root packages (as listed under portmaster -l) most likely won't harm anything (though some of them may be reinstalled when you upgrade). pkg_deinstall has the advantage of being able to issue $ pkg_deinstall -Rr kde* , which will delete anything requiring kde and required by kde (at least that is not required by some other package), and the disadvantage of requiring that both perl and ruby be installed. I ended up just creating a new user with a /bin/sh shell, doing a pkg_delete -a and reinstalling the apps. I was very impressed with how quickly pkg_add -r xorg and such (from the handbook) ran and got me back to a working desktop. Just need to selectively add any app I really want reinstalled now.

Is there a solution for 550 User Unknown mails
This is perhaps off topic, but all machines in question are running FreeBSD :) Every day I get dozens of failed email notifications in the form of: UNDELIVERABLE MAIL Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: webmail.hansenet.de [213.191.73.2]: RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 550 RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] User unknown This user Unknown message is due to my server rejecting a mail to my domain (my domain is not alicedsl.de) for an Unknown user. Doing some reading, it appears that in a perfect system where there is only 1 email server per domain, I won't recieve these messages since during the whole email conversation I will tell the person talking to me that I don't know of that account and no extra email is generated. With secondary mail servers, I am accepting mail for other domains, and then forwarding them on. It is my belief that acting as a secondary mail server is what is causing me to receive all these errors. What I believe is happening is that for whatever reason the spammer is talking to my email server for a domain I am secondary on. I accept the mail and finish the conversation. I then talk to the main email host to let them know of the email I got for them. The master host responds with 550 User Unknown as it should. Being the good little secondary email server I am, I try to respond to the sender that they got the wrong address, which turns out to be fake. Assuming that my guessing is correct, is there any way to stop this flood of reject emails short of not being a secondary server for anyone? If my guesses are incorrect, then what is actually going on and how do I stop the flow? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In hindsight I realize I worded my original inquiry inaccurately. What I am attempting to determine is how well or if ver 6.1 will work on a 4GB hard drive with a Pentium 4 - 3.06GHz cpu and 1GB ram? The machine has a 232GB hard drive but I have another 4GB drive sitting around being unused that I was thinking of adding to the machine to configure in a dual boot setup with the 4GB drive being totally allocated to FreeBSD. Well, as everyone has stated... It depends on what you are doing with the machine. I have a 512MB USB device running 5.3-RELEASE, Xorg, Fluxbox, nessus, nmap, firefox, and a few other tidbits (no ports tree). Its darn slow off USB, but it works. So yeah, 4GB is sufficient... for some amount of functionality. If *I* wanted to use a machine, say for a desktop, I'd want no less than 20GB. I have a 20GB disk for a machine, yet I ran out of space while trying to set it up the way I wanted. I had most things setup, then tried to compile OO. I fell back to the package though. Either way, everyones point is... It depends. But I think most would say to have a truly useful Desktop, 4GB is a bit slim. My vote... 20GB+ HTH. However, before attempting that task I am trying to determine whether or not it would be even feasible to use a 4GB drive to install v 6.1 or should I use a larger drive to install the many of FreeBSD's features? And if a larger drive how large of a drive would I need to utilize many or any of its features without limiting myself to a bare bones setup? Additionally, if the 4GB drive will work how limited would the install/capabilities/features be? I am not at all opposed to using a larger drive but at the present time do not have a clue as to what size drive I should use for the most flexibility regarding type of installation options. -art I didn't see it mentioned (may have missed it), I just wanted to point out one thing. There is a bit of a speed difference between a 4gig drive and a 200gig drive. If you are using a 3gig CPU, it would be a shame to have such a huge bottleneck with the hard drive. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many weeks ago I noticed that I my mail server was dealing with about 4x the amount of mail it normally does. After much digging I was able to trace it back to my brother's machine (different network, different location) who happens to be my secondary DNS. I mention the DNS part since most of the spam being sent to my system was addressed to domains I host. In any case, the machine sending me all the spam was not his mail server, but his router. Since his actual mail server lives within his network, all port 25 traffic should have been diverted to his internal machine, so it doesn't seem likely to have been a normal open relay issue. His router had qmail installed on it, and was running FreeBSD 4.5, but aside from the huge amount of mail coming out of it I didn't see any abnormal activity on the machine. So the question becomes, how does a router with port 25/993 directed to the internal network start relaying gobs of spam and why is all (?) mail directed at my domains in particular? I didn't see any new accounts on the machine, nor any strange processes. As soon as I shut down all of qmail's processes the problem went away. Any thoughts on this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

freevo on FreeBSD?
I am not sure if this is a FreeBSD specific question or a freevo question, but here it goes. I was wondering if anyone has been able to get freevo working on FreeBSD 6.1 with a pvr-250 card? I have the card working and can do 'mplayer /dev/cxm0' to watch tv (including sound), but I can't seem to get freevo to play live tv let alone record anything. I did install freevo and the pvr250 driver, I can change channels on the device and watch tv outside of freevo. This might be a simple configuration issue with freevo, but since their list didn't seem to include much FreeBSD specific traffic, I thought I might ask if anyone here has tried it out lately. I can post my config file, but didn't want to spam the list with the huge file if no one else has tried out the port lately. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But that's just a guess. Are you using iwi-firmware from ports? there seems to be a perfectly working driver, # kldload if_iwi That's what people suggest you to compile from sys/dev/iwi, but it's also a loadable as kernel module. If it is not installed in /boot/kernel, then it will also be built with the normal kernel build proceedure. Sorry for the lack of details. Sleep deprivation and hardware troubleshooting shouldn't be mixed. Previously, I was using the iwi-firmware port rather successfully, based on this webpage http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html At the moment, I do have the device listed under ifconfig iwi0 but I cannot associate with my AP. When I go to do a iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware/if_iwi -m bss I currently get an error message in the /var/log/messages (sorry, can't access the machine to get the message) but I think it was something about the device timing out. Checking the help files for the error messages states the the error message should not happen. When I did the searching, several posts mentioned that iwi-firmware didn't work for them on 6.1 when it had on previous versions. Later I can update my ports to see if iwi-firmware-kmod now has the ignore setting removed, but according to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/iwi-firmware-kmod/ the port hasn't been touched in about 2 months (unless I am reading something wrong).

Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Hi. I don't normally back up DVDs so I'm not sure the best software to do that. I did a quick ports search and multimedia/lxdvdrip looks nice, and may do exactly what you want all in one program. As for dvdauthor crashing, I would guess it's because you're not giving it the right format for a DVD. AVI files can't go to DVD, you need to convert it to MPEG-2 PS and the proper specifications. For this, I use a GTK+ program called Avidemux2 (it's in multimedia/avidemux2), although ffmpeg or mencoder should work also. Here are my steps for an AVI file to DVD: 1) Avidemux to video DVD. Set aspect ratios in Configure and set DVD Res in the Filters area. If the audio is not already AC3 (check from the A/V information button on the toolbar), set audio to FFM AC3. Set output format at bottom to MPEG PS A+V. Save the video filename.mpg. This one is the longest step, the other two are quite a bit shorter. 2) Take outputted mpeg file and run it through dvdauthor: dvdauthor --video=ntsc+16:9+720xfull -t -f filename.mpg -o output 3) Burn the authored DVD with dvd+rw tools: growisofs -dvd-video -Z /dev/cd0 output For a simple backup though I'd check out lxdvdrip or search through ports to see if there is a faster solution. I don't see much sense in going from DVD to AVI then back to DVD when you can just rip directly from the DVD and burn it back. I provided that info for when you want to author your own videos though. :) Hope that helps. -Mark You know, I did try dvdrip (forgot to mention it) but I found it to be geared toward VCD and burning to a CD-R instead of DVDs. I didn't even see lxdvdrip. The pkg-descr does look like it could be the exact thing I am looking for and will try it out. If I were to follow your steps about for a DVD copy, I assume VOB copy or something similar to produce the mpeg would be substituted in step 1, correct? Though this would not handle DVD9 to single DVD5 (compressed video), I might need to rethink that scenario...

The only other thing I can think of is that the 'router_enable'=YES' line's creating dramas. As I understand it, this'll cause /etc/rc.d/routed to attempt to launch the routing daemon specified by a 'router=...' line, which you don't appear to have. I don't think this'd interfere with natd anyway, but I don't really understand what the hell's going on in /etc/rc.d/routed. Sorry I can't be more helpful! -- I don't run route(daemon) so I don't know about router_enable, but here is what I have in my rc.conf to get natd working: #router stuff natd_program=/sbin/natd natd_enable=YES natd_interface=rl0 natd_flags=-dynamic -f /etc/natd.conf gateway_enable=YES So I use gateway_enable not router_enable.

New folder permissions
Greetings, I am having issues getting correct permissions set for files in a common area on a web/file server. I have webroot shared out via samba and under there I have an auto-thumbnail generation script that creates thumbnails in somefolder/.cache where somefolder is a newly created folder. Example: autothumbs\ mypics1\ image.jpg .cache image_thumb.jpg mypics2\ .cache ... What needs to happen is when a new folder is created under this autothumb tree, the permissions need to be set correctly so that the .cache folder can be automatically generated by the thumbnail process. I have the main folder listed as root:wheel 777 but when new folders are created they have user:wheel 755 permissions and the thumbnail script fails as it cannot write to the location. Is there something I am missing to get this setup properly? I know a workaround is the manually change the permissions of the folder when it is created, but since my wife will be wanting to add pictures, that isn't an option for her (very non-techy). The machine in question a 5.4-Stable box. Any suggestions on what I need to do?

mount_smbfs and NETSMBCRYPTO
Greetings, I have recently run into a problem mounting windows shares on my 6.1 Beta 2 laptop. smbfs is loaded via loader.conf, but I get an error message stating that encryption support is not available. According to this thread: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2006-02/msg00556.html I now need to add options NETSMBCRYPTO To my kernel config to get encryption support added for mount_smbfs? I am currently running a generic kernel and I have never needed to do this in the past just to mount a windows share. Has something changed recently and I will need to do a buildworld to fix this? I tried kldload netsmbcrypto but I guess the file does not exist. Is there any way for me to mount a windows share without doing a buildworld? I did not pull sources when I built the machine as I intended to just run generic and load anything extra via loader.conf.

Interestingly, when I run 'make' and do 'top' the compilation process steadily grows to 128MB in size and then stays at that size until it grinds to a halt. I was under the impression that FreeBSD imposed a default maximum process size of 512MB, maybe that's changed or I was wrong (anyone ??). After Googling, I found that the way to increase the maximum process size was to add the following entries to /boot/loader.conf and reboot; root$ more /boot/loader.conf kern.maxdsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.dfldsiz=1073741824 # 1GB kern.maxssiz=134217728 # 128MB I did this and tried compiling jdk15 again but it made no difference. So I had the idea that another way to increase the amount of virtual memory available is to increase the amount of swap memory available (correct ??) which I did (to 1GB) as described in the Handbook here ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html ). This I did, and when I do 'top' it shows up as available swap memory but when I tried compiling jdk15 again it also made no difference.

I'm at a bit of a loss what to do next. Do I need to buy some more memory for my PC (just to compile jdk15) or is there anything else I can try or change in FreeBSD which may help me ? Any help is much appreciated. Ken My video card has more memory than your system does. Do you have any swap space mounted/available? /etc/fstab will tell you if you have a swap partition. If you do (and it is big) then I am not sure what the issue is, but is does sound like the system is short on memory. If you have no swap space partitioned, there is a way to make a swapfile, but I have never done it myself. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MySQL auto login problem
Greetings,
I installed mysql on my friend's laptop (remotely) via ports, and now
he has a strange issue when he boots into freebsd. As the screen is
going through its normal checks it mentions it is starting mysql, then
it goes to a bash prompt. When I have him type 'whoami' it responds
with mysql. When he types exit, GDM kicks in and he gets his normal
login window. Is there anything I should check for that could explain
why mysql is getting logged in?
System is 5.3 release, the script for mysql:

Need to delete partition
I have an XP/FreeBSD 5.x dual boot machine that has been running fine for 6mos which I had to power down last week. It had been booted to XP and I did a normal clean shutdown, but now my XP system is hosed. After using BSD to backup data, I tried a normal install to redo the partition, but found that for whatever reason, XP cannot write to the partition table (if that is the term) and the install bails. I tried using /stand/sysinstall to delete the partition, but it too gives an error: Unable to write data to disk ad4! Disk Partition write returned an error status! I have also noticed that when booting into FreeBSD now, it takes a couple minutes to get past the detection of my mouse, hanging after the 5 buttons line below (from dmesg): ums0: Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM), rev 1.10/3.00, add r 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir. uhub0: device problem, disabling port 2 When initially setting up the partitions, I believe I made 4 primary partitions though I wouldn't think this is causing any issue here.

RE: which kinds of AMD work withh FBSD?
snip FWIW, none of my new systems have floppies and the smallest has 3 x 40GB HDs. The new HDs all run ATA-133 and have 8MB of cache. I have about 40GB of mp3 and wma that I have created from CDs that I own and backup on one of the 2400's. It isn't the one with the 3-40's :). None of the on-board audio connect to the CD-Rom with a digital connection. Digital extraction turns out to be very important when converting audio cds. An ATA-133 controller is also important because you will find it difficult to buy HDs under 120GB and the older mobo may not recognize the newer, large ones. A 2400+ with ATA-133 HDs will do a buildworld in 18 minutes. That makes me wonder what I am doing wrong. I have an 2500XP, gig of ram, and a SATA drive, and buildworld take about 45min, buildkernel about 5-10min.

All the pre recks.. are for 1.* versions of Apache. What's the deal? I recommend lang/php4 When you install it should come up with a menu allowing you to choose your options (GD support, CLI, etc). After it is done, it will tell you what to add to your httpd.conf file to get .php files working (apache restart required). To test, make a file like: ?php phpinfo() ? And call it test.php or something, then browse to it.

RE: Gnome 2.6 broke OO and Evo
I was finally able to upgrade to gnome 2.6 on my 5.2 system. When finished, I fired up Evolution and it came up, but with no fonts. I tried a basic portupgrade of evo to accomodate the changes, but afterwards, evo wouldn't even load. Trying the old fashioned method, I did a make deinstall then make install, but still it doesn't load. A task bar item comes up but no splash screen or anything, and after about 10 seconds it all disappears. Similar with OpenOffice, it just hangs when I try to fire anything up, including setup. I did try pkg_deleting it and reinstalling the precompiled package, but setup still won't run. So, I am figuring the gnome upgrade broke something, but I have no idea on where to start on figuring this out. Do I need to wait for new evo/OO source/packages? Hate to reply to my own message like this, but I did solve one of the two problems. I created /etc/libmap.conf based off the manpage for it and that fixed evolution, but I am still having issues with OOo. No matter what I try, it refuses to launch any app and I need to kill -9 it from another terminal. I would hate to have to resort to a full OO port compile to get this working as I don't care to deal with the Java dependancy issue, but besides that, I am out of guesses. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libc_r.so.4 not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libc_r.so.4 not found which leads me to believe I am missing a dependant install. I looked at the dependancies and I thought I saw them all listed under pkg_info, so I would like to verify what produces the above so.4 file. This is the base threads C library replacing libc in pthread applications. From man page pthread(3): INSTALLATION The current FreeBSD POSIX thread implementation is built in the library libc_r which contains both thread-safe libc functions and the thread functions. This library replaces libc for threaded applications. By default, libc_r is built as part of a 'make world'. To disable the build of libc_r you must supply the '-DNOLIBC_R' option to make(1). When I did a buildworld, I didn't have a /etc/make.conf file, so unless that is the default option, I should have gotten libc_r, right? Right now the machine is booted to windows and in another city so I can't check /etc/defaults/make.conf to see the contents, so I will have to check later to see what it is set for. Thanks for the lead atleast. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Courier-MTA/maildrop
Pardon if this is a bit off topic, but here it goes... I have a couier-mta system that is running nicely on my 4.9 box, and I wanted to add some server side mailfilter for some of my email (like put mail from this list into a specific folder automatically). I enabled maildrop in courierd, but I am unconvinced it is working. As a test, I put just this in my $HOME/.mailfilter file: to ./Maildir/.test And the file is owned by me, and rw only by me as required for maildrop. Even so, mail is not being redirected at all. I have tried various thing (sorry didn't keep track) and searched around google to no avail. Does anyone know how to get maildrop working, and as a bonus have aliased acct names working as well?

Accessing MySQL from C
I am trying to write a little program that will talk to my existing mysql db
server (4.1.1), but am having compile issues.
The code is:
#include stdio.h
#include mysql.h
#define HOST localhost
#define USERNAME test
#define PASSWORD test
#define DB pollphp
MYSQL *conn;
int main()
{
conn = mysql_init(NULL);
}
And here are various compile attempts:
# gcc -o sqltest sqltest.c
sqltest.c:2: mysql.h: No such file or directory
# gcc -L/usr/local/include/mysql -o sqltest sqltest.c
sqltest.c:2: mysql.h: No such file or directory
If I change the above include to:
#include /usr/local/include/mysql/mysql.h
I get this on compile:
# gcc -o sqltest sqltest.c
/tmp/ccrC5KFf.o: In function `main':
/tmp/ccrC5KFf.o(.text+0xc): undefined reference to `mysql_init'
And if I and the -l flag:
# gcc -o sqltest -l/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so sqltest.c
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -l/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
(I also tried libmysqlclient.a and libmysqlclient)
I have gotten as far as I can with the man pages for gcc, and google isn't
helping much. Does anyone know how I can compile a program that talks to
mysql?
TIA
-Derrick

RE: Accessing MySQL from C
In the last episode (Apr 20), Derrick Ryalls said: I am trying to write a little program that will talk to my existing mysql db server (4.1.1), but am having compile issues. You need -I/usr/local/include/mysql on your compile line, and -L/usr/local/lib/mysql on your link line. gcc -I/usr/local/include/mysql -c sqltest.c gcc -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -o sqltest sqltest.o -lmysqlclient If you are compiling and linking in one step, you need both. gcc -I/usr/local/include/mysql -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -o sqltest sqltest.c -lmysqlclient -- Thank you very much, missed the -I option in the man completely, and I don't think I tried -lmysqlclient. I knew it was something simple! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: CUPS
Robert Storey wrote: Dear all, Having looked at the mind-boggling amount of configuration information that is in the Handbook, I decided to just install CUPS. I'm very familiar with CUPS, having configured it many times in Linux. So I installed the CUPS daemon, and started it by going to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and renaming the sample file to cups.sh. I even did a ./cups.sh start and that worked - that is, my printer reacted by moving the print head, and I could fire up Mozilla and type http://localhost:631; and then reach the CUPS configuration page. My printer is an Epson 24-pin dot-matrix onf /dev/lpt0 - there is a driver for that, so no problem. So that should be enough to make it work - at least that would do the job under Linux. But attempting to print a test page gives me nothing. The Handbook says almost zilch about CUPS other than suggesting that one should look at cups.org for advice. Of course, cups.org has little to say about BSD. So I'm wondering what I did wrong? Any help is appreciated. best regards, Robert I'm a definite newbie when it comes to printing; but I'll take a shot (hopefully you're taking that first sentence under advisement) in the hopes that keeping the thread alive will get you what you need before too many days pass. Probably these questions are more to satisfy my curiosity than to give help ... but let's go: First, what command are you using to attempt to print the test page? Secondly, what does your entry for the printer look like in /etc/printcap? Anything in your logs? /var/log/messages, perhaps... Lastly, did you restart the daemon? $lpc restart all Like I said; I may be off base here, but maybe there's food for thought; at the very least maybe somebody else can grab the ball and run with it http://www.freebsddiary.org/cups.php I no longer use CUPS myself, but when I had it setup, I had to make sure the system lp* files where chmod'ed to -x so that the CUPS version would be used instead. The above link suggests moving /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in your path, but that just doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: deleting directories with ??? in name
I've tried lynx, but it did not display the files. I tried emacs, but I was only able to rename two of the directories to other names I could delete; the other two gave me an error of illegal character. I tried 'rm -i -- ?*' but it didn't find the files. I tried 'find . -inum 146 -delete' but while it gave no error message, the files/directories remain. Help! How do I delete these odd directories? Please CC me in your response as I'm not currently subscribed to the List. #mkdir dir?me #rmdir dir\?me ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: FreeBSD filesystem performance in Enterprise
Curious how FreeBSD ffs performs in Enterprise-level environments (ie: email stores that send 100's of thousands of messages per day) versus other filesystems like XFS (I heard thre's a port going on for FreeBSD..?), ReiserFS, et al. Is there a FAQ that covers some of this and the various tuning issues one might consider (filesystem and kernel). This applies either disk-alone or across a raid array, etc.I'm interested in hearing others experiences (good and bad). You are almost starting a holy war :) I believe hotmail used to be hosted on FreeBSD until it was bought out by MS, that should be a decent volume indicator. I run a very small email list server and it works fine on a p200. I did see a noticable jump in speed when I switched the mail service from sendmail to qmail, so it is also dependant on what you will run. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: qmail patches...
Hi, I have followed the install from freebsd.qmailrocks.org, and everything appears to be going OK, I'm almost done with the guy's walk-thru...but I found something of interest on the qmail.org website - patches to do smtp-auth so I can have my clients be able to 'roam' while being able to send email through my SMTP gateway out. There are a bunch of links there to patches, for SMTP-AUTH...but I have very little idea about how to implement them? Can someone who's done it before throw me a clue? Here's what I'd like to get working: http://students.imsa.edu/~ngroot/qmail-1.03-starttls-smtp-auth .patch Is there something better? I was thinking about using that very patch, just haven't gotten around to trying it out. So, if you are gunna try this out, do not use a live system for testing. As per the instructions included within the patch: +How to install it: + +Simply patch your qmail-1.03 distribution with the included patch +file and recompile install like usual. + +The steps to do this are as follows (assuming your virgin +qmail-1.03 install is in ../qmail-1.03): + + cp README.auth base64.c base64.h ../qmail-1.03 + patch -d ../qmail-1.03 auth.patch + +Install qmail normally, with the exception of the new arguments +to qmail-smtpd described elsewhere in this file. + +Also obtain, unpack, compile and install the cmd5checkpw utility +(or some other checkpassword utility) and add a sample account to +/etc/poppasswd file. This file must be readable by the qmail-smtpd +user, usually qmaild. So, I am guessing that means you do this: #cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail #make patch #cd work/qmail-1.03 #fetch http://students.imsa.edu/~ngroot/qmail-1.03-starttls-smtp-auth.patch #patch -d ../qmail-1.03 qmail-1.03-starttls-smtp-auth.patch #cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail (make sure qmail is not running) #make install After that you will need to modify /var/qmail/rc to accommodate the qmail-smtpd startup changes. Please let us (or atleast me) know how it works. I am interested in doing this as well as soon as I have some free time. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Firewall blocking natd redirect
