Re: Corrupted OS
I go to run /usr/sbin/sysinstall. It brings up a little GUI and asks me to select. I selected post-installation configuration, and it sent me back to a prompt! So I tried again, selecting the recommended configuration to start over again, and it again sent me back to a prompt! Besides, this is kinda dangerous. Got another, perhaps more complex but *safer* way to determine if it's ufs1 or 2? 2Also, what are softupdates and why do I need them?

You still haven't answered my question about the filesystem though: are you using UFS2 or something else? Thanks, -Garrett The easiest way to figure out if you're running UFS2 is to go to the disk label feature within sysinstall, and define a mount point for the slice. Make sure _not_ to make any changes though as you'll be thrusting yourself in the middle of a system upgrade (CTRL-C is your friend). If it's ufs1, it should definitely be converted to ufs2. There were some serious limitations in ufs1, in particular dealing with file size (2GB limit I believe) and features. Someone else on the list might be able to advise you or point you in the right direction if you want more details.. Also, you should be running softupdates. If not you're playing a risky game of russian roulette with your data, where if corrupted things can disappear between reboots if you didn't power down the machine properly (power down via ATX dead man power switch, power loss, etc). If all else fails and you're not running ufs1 on the disk, try upgrade your bios or firmware controller that the disk is operating on, and get back to us with more details.

Assuming, of course, that the supfile is valid. Is it necessary? Depends; if you're convinced that something is wrong with your current installation, then you might not need to, because you can rebuild exactly the system that you *should* have (for example, perhaps you fat-fingered a chmod or rm call?). Yes. The system was working fine. The problem is with an extra HD I have that I told the server farm to check out thoroughly before installing it in the new server because I knew it had a problem. They said they didand didn't. So that's what corrupted the system again...exactly the same way it did before, too. But yes, the system was working fine before I had data files on the HD in question linked to s/w on the SCSI hard drives. OTOH, if you are attempting to get up to date on security fixes, etc., then you should read up on the Cutting Edge so that you understand the CVS tags, and use cvsup as shown below. Well, it never hurts to get up to date on security, does it? Where do I find this cutting edge? Be *certain* you have the CVS tag you really want in the supfile before you press enter, though. Will that be outlined in the cutting edge, or elsewhere? Now, if you think that the system is corrupt because your source tree is corrupt, then you would also want to sync your source tree. Of course, why would it be corrupt? If a committer made an error, you'd probably see some discussion of it on this list of the stable@ list. The HD zapped two data files--MySQL and a Zope instance Data.fs--and that's what caused the problem both times. I doubt this would have hurt the source tree. Your thoughts? OK, that's fine. This next stuff is a tad strange, any reason you can't just shutdown -r now? The point is to attempt to boot with the new kernel, and going to single-user at this point doesn't do that. I need to avoid single user mode, as you probably recognize, since the machine is on the other side of the planet. The below worked when I upgraded once from 5.5 to 6.1. sh /etc/rc.shutdown # kills all your services pkill sendmail pkill syslogd mergemaster -p As noted above, this (mergemaster -p) is actually meant to be done pre-buildworld ... see mergemaster(8). In other words, it's not necessary since I'm just rebuilding what I already have, right? Thinking a tad more clearly, I suppose you mean, since the process of upgrading (buildworld, installworld, whatever) is attached to my terminal (which is an SSH session), what happens if I'm disconnected - will my upgrade continue? No, what I mean is if my connection gets dropped. The answer is that it will not continue unless you've planned for that possibility. Are you familiar with job control, e.g.: $ make buildworld Ah! Good idea! So just use the old symbol. How do I know when it's finished? Putting jobs in the background, one can't see their progress, that is, I don't know how to monitor it if it's not flashing before my face ;) And that's the only place I have to put a job in the background? Reviewing my notes again, that wouldn't be necessary for any of the following? make clean;make cleanworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL make installkernel KERNCONF=LOCAL make installworld ...and I don't need this either, since I'm not doing mergmaster at all, right? mergemaster TIA, Drew - Don't be flakey.

Re: Corrupted OS
You have probably already read those details in another one of my emails between when you emailed and when I responded to yours, but in case not, here it is again: I executed a bad command on my old server which I am convinced damaged a 500 GB HD I had. The server farm says otherwise, but it is in their best interest to talk a lot and do as little work as possible...and rake in more money for screwing up OS's, etc. So I had them build out another server which I built out after they got me up. First, however, I built a mirror server here and wrote down every command I executed in building it, to make sure there would be no mistakes. Then one day, all of a sudden, when I wasn't doing any work at all in the given areas, two of my databases got wiped: MySQL and one of my Zope instances' Data.fs, both of which were symlinked to the SCSI HDs from the 500 GB HD. This is exactly what happened on the old server, except on the old one it happened because of an erroneous copy command. Now, strange little things are happening for which there is no logical explanation other than corruption of the OS...exactly what transpired on the old server.

That is a much lower level operation. FreeBSD and all other OSen use the factory format unless you do something unusually drastic. Doing fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs is not technically 'formatting' the drive but rather building slices, partitions and filesystems on the drive. Now. You do not have to redo the fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs to wipe out and reinstall things, but why not do them? They take very little time.The only reason I could think of would be if you have a lot of your own files you don't want to nuke. But, in that case, the better course of action would be to back them up somewhere safe and do the complete reinstall from scratch and then bring your own files back. jerry TIA, Drew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Expecting?

Re: Corrupted OS
Thanks! That's great! Here's why the OS is corrupt: 1) Suddenly, large data files which were on the 500 GB HD were wiped. I hadn't been working in anything associated with them for some time before that. They just disappeared. This is exactly what happened before on the old server, but then I had done something to damage it (entered a bad command). 2) Now, as then, quirky things are happening, forcing me to do work-arounds when none should be done, or to abandon projects I'd like to do. For example, I copied a MySQL database as another dbase with another name, wiped all the data from the new dbase, and copied a shopping cart app I've built in Zope to a new site I'm building. I entered new categories into the new dbase. However, when I surf to my interface in the new Zope site I'm building, the old cats appear! There's no connection whatsoever. Even the background color of the display pages is picked up from the old site, goodness knows how. If I use the Zope interface to enter data into the products table, it works, but with the old cats. If I enter data into that table through MySQL, it displays in the new Zope site. I had to hard-wire the new cats to get it to work. I still don't know why the bgcolor for the page is the same as the old site, either. This kind of crap happens over and over again, and I have no explanation.2 Last time, it screwed up my clients' email, something I'm loathe to do. Eventually, the whole system died on me.

Once everything on that disk is unmounted and unreferenced, then fdisk and bsdlabel will be happy to work on it. The best documentation for that is down in the examples of the bsdlabel man page. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=32 fdisk -BI da0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0s1 bs=512 count=32 bsdlabel -w -B da0s1 bsdlabel -e da0s1 Change the device names to be what yours really are (da0 may be ad3 or something.

You can just fdisk it. If you want, write a few blocks of zeros to it first to make sure the system believes it clean if you want. Probably shouldn't need to, though. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/extra-drive-name bs=512 count=250 As for the corrupt OS, I don't understand what that is and why you think that or whatever. jerry TIA, Drew2 Jerry McAllister wrote: On Fri, Mar 16, 2007 at 09:12:02AM -0700, Drew Jenkins wrote: ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Be a PS3 game guru.

Re: Setting Env
20I wrote the following script (with your help) to solve the problem I'm having
with setting the MySQL environment and getting Zope up after the fact. I have
saved this in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ If I run this after the machine reboots, all
is well. If I simply let it run in the reboot sequence, it doesn't do it's job!
The sleep command is to give the server a chance to finish all its other bootup
sequences, since that appears to be the factor messing things up. But it
doesn't work!! What can I do to tweak this to do what I need it to do?
TIA,
Drew

Some examples are in the /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d directories, as you've discovered. Given your output above, maybe you want to add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH lines to the zopectl file? Brilliant! Why doesn't *that* work?! This is crazy! I even added your little script and, after it booted, tried running that directly (after stopping Zope) and it _still_ didn't work! That makes no sense to me at all! I put together a little script, as I stated earlier, that set the env, stopped and started my Zope instances (calling on zopectl), and *that* worked, so why doesn't this work??

Anyway, I suggest first just working on getting any script to run
at boot time - or rather at the time the system comes up for multi-
user, but that stuff does not run when it comes up to single-user.
So, my next suggestion is to make any little ole script with a couple
of echo-s in it to demonstration that it runs and put that it
the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory with the correct permissions
and name, etc. NOTE, someone in an earlier post clarified the .sh
issue with information that was new to me about the system looking
for certain flags inside the file if the file name does not have
the .sh ending. Go back and check that out, but the this, assume
you have to have .sh and execute permission.
You do not have to have a start/stop/restart check in the script if
the script will always just run regardless of parameter. But,
what the system does is call the script with a parameter of 'start'
at boot time and a parameter of 'stop' at shutdown time.
But for the sake of the primative test, those can be omitted.
Let's say you call the scriptfile: 'rctest.sh'
Put something like:
#!/bin/sh
echo running rctest.sh, got this far
# Add any any other stuff you want to test
echo running rctest.sh, finished
Now, if the bare skeleton works, then start adding more parts
to it until you get to where everything works. Add more echo-s
if they are useful.
But I've done that (except name it *.sh, which I just did). And I'm not at the
server. It's on the other side of the globe. So I can't watch echo's pop up as
it boots. Here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 60
if [ -n $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ] ; then
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib/mysql
else
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql
fi
cd /usr/local/zope/
./instance1/bin/zopectl stop
./instance1/bin/zopectl start
./instance2/bin/zopectl stop
./instance2/bin/zopectl start
The sleep is in there to try to get it to run after everything else has come
up, but it doesn't help. If I run that script after boot, everything works out
fine.
You could also look up how to get your messages written to a log
Hey, now there's an idea! How do I do that? Or where do I go to study how to do
that?

Sounds like your problem is with Zope somewhere and not
the startup script per se - though it could be something
missing in the startup. I have never used Zope.

The rc.conf method will make it available from the parent. That is the whole point of rc.conf. Right. I figured that much. So, what do I actually put in that file? I tried these two options: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ Well, setenv is a csh or tcsh command and isn't in sh and probably not in bash either (I haven't used bash). I am aware of that. I was trying to explain how I used every_possible_combination of things I could think of! The export command is an sh and probably bash command and it doesn't exist in csh or tcsh. Yes, yes. I know. It didn't like either, presumably because it's not calling a bash or c-shell. So, what should I put in /etc/rc.conf that will achieve my objective? Look at other variable setting in rc.conf. That should give you a good clue. For example, in my rc.conf I have several. One is: moused_enable=YES That makes the moused_enable variable have a value of YES. So, if you want LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have the value of /usr/local/lib/mysql/ might that not be: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ I tried that and posted yesterday that that failed. If you put it in the script that starts things - there needs to be one - then it depends on the script language, csh/tcsh sh/bash. csh/tcsh use setenv and set sh [and bash] use set and variable_name=value and needs an export to make it available to other entities besides the shell itself. You should look up the man pages on these things and take a look at some other scripts such as those in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for examples. What *things*? As far as scripts, this *should* be easy... #!/bin/csh setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql/ ...right? It doesn't work. Any other ideas? Drew Never miss an email again! Yahoo!

It is concerning the MySQL environment. 4) Enter the command: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/mysql 5) Restart Zope. Everything fine. Drew Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

The command should be # ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql Thanks for the correction. This is actually what gets run when mysql is installed via ports. With that, I went ahead and chowned the dir back to mysql, ran the command successfully, but it still didn't work. Now I'm wondering if maybe it's a permissions problem.

How Do I Surf To My Server?
Hi; I have a production server that I've crashed a few times by working on it directly and making mistakes. As a result, I've finally built a mock server on my home PC on a separate hard drive with nothing but FBSD. I also have a laptop. All are connected by DHCP to a satellite dish. My question is, how can I surf my laptop to pull up Web pages generated from the home-based FBSD machine? What kind of networking is necessary? How do I call it up? Can this be handled through DHCP, or do I need to use BIND? Or something else? What good resources are out there for studying this? The FBSD manual wasn't much help, unfortunately. Conversely, I could surf to the FBSD machine from the FBSD machine. But I built this mock server like my workhorse...no mouse, no X, no browser. Would I have to rebuild it to incorporate those? Or just build stuff from ports? Finally, which solution is easiest...surfing from the laptop or from the FBSD machine? TIA, Drew Looking for earth-friendly autos?

If however, you browse from within your own home network, all you need is the IP address of the server (assuming that server has apache or some other httpd) and your done. Right, all at home. I have Pound configured (like on my workhorse), not apache. But how do I determine the IP address of the server? I've never set that up before. What file do I edit? Servers should NEVER be ip'ed dynamically. Servers should ALWAYS be static unless of course, you are running some form of DNS internally. All I need is something like this: 123.456.78.90:8080/example_site so I can look at said site. Again, if your intent is to access from outside your network - then the above is mute and you need to educate yourself with the whole networking thing.

Re: Can I Mount A Windoze Drive?
For some reason, I can no longer mount the Windoze drive! The first time I mounted it, I didn't even change the fstab! I just issued the command: mount_ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win and it mounted! I copied off everything I thought I needed. But when I tried to go back in, that didn't work. So I added the line suggested below to /etc/fstab and I still can't mount it! Rebooting doesn't help.

Accessing Server TTW
Hi; Another newbie question. I've successfully built (so far) my FBSD server on a separate HD on one of my 2 PCs at home. I am connected to the Internet via DHCP through my satellite dish. I would like to access Web pages on my FBSD server from my other PC. How do I set this up? TIA, Drew 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Yahoo!

Building Home Server
20Hi; I'm building a server at home to mimic my live server. The instructions require that I gather the following information: * IP address * IP address of default gateway * Hostname * DNS server IP address * Subnet Mask Now, I think I can use 192.168.0.1 as my IP address, since that calls up my satellite interface. I've tried running ipconfig /all from the run command in Windoze, but it flashes the results so quickly then disappears that I don't have a chance to read the results! How do I get this information? Is there a Web site that can read my config? Or, what's a good guess at the defaults that would work for my satellite interface (which would be better, in case my data isn't static)? Also, where do I go in FBSD to edit the config so I can access the net? TIA. Drew Bored stiff? Loosen up... Download and play hundreds of games for free on Yahoo!

Re: Building Home Server
Start menu/Run cmd There you will get a win32 console where you can type in ipconfig /all Miscommunication. I *did* that. It pops up the info I need on the screen so fast then the screen disappears...I never have a chance to read the info!! What do?? Also, I found this info on a Web page built into my satellite interface: IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.225.0 NAT IP Address: 67.46.93.3 NAT Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255 So, now I've got the IP address and the subnet mask, but I still need to find out the IP address of the default gateway, the hostname, and the DNS server IP addresses. However, I do not understand what you are trying to do. I'm trying to configure FBSD so I can get online. There is an interface at setup that requests all this data. Also, the manual says to have this data handy (it is the manual I am currently referencing). Probably your interface uses DHCP. Yes, DHCP is enabled. You should type in /sbin/sysinstall and then configure your network interface. Yes, that is what I will do, but first I need the above questions answered, because that is the data I must enter!

Panic and Dump
20Hi; I've just built a new machine with two drives, one for Windoze and one for FBSD. Although I've built this according to specs, there seems to be a problem with the motherboard, because I've had a number of occasions where the computer automatically shuts down. I can now run Windoze without any problems. However, when I went to install python from ports in FBSD, it crashed. When I booted back up and tried again, it gave me this error: mode = 0100644 inum = 2290285, fs = usr panic: ffs_valloc: dub alloc Uptime 47s Cannot dump. No dump device defined. Now, clearly, I've got to figure out why the computer is crashing...that's another problem, and I'll work with the motherboard company on that. But how do I fix this dumping problem?

Subject: Re: Building Home Server
Is this a Windows box or a BSD box, that you are trying to run a server on?
Both:
a hard drive for each. This is only a personal server. My workhorse is
located elsewhere. But I'm tired of having problems with experimenting
on my workhorse! Once I get this built, then whenever I try something
new, I'll try it on this unit, then once it works build it on the
workhorse. You know, like you're supposed to do it ;)
If you are looking for information on how to set up something similar, I
have an excellent grasp, how to do it, up to and including setting up a
very basic PF, to keep the crackers out.
Fire away! I'd love to see your packet filters and anything else you have that
you think would be of interest! Thanks!
