FreeBSD compatibility with HP ProLiant DL360p Generation 8 (Gen8) ?
Hello, I need to order a few more servers for an internal project, and instead of the usual DL360G7 we now use without any problem with FreeBSD, there would now be the next generation, called Gen8. Intel® C600 Series Chipset Intel® E5-2600 Processor Family Storage Controller : HP Smart Array P420i/1GB Network Controller : HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331FLR Adapter (full specs: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14211_na/14211_na.pdf ) I am just wondering if it would also be compatible with the current version of FreeBSD. I guess it is the case at least for the cpu/chipset according to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/hardware.html , but I miss for example the P420 or the network interface in the actual hardware list, so a confirmation before ordering would be really nice to have :) Thanks kind regards, Olivier ___ 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
restricted ssh shell for ruby on rails hosting ? (rake, git, etc.)
Hello, I'm managing a few hosting servers, mostly php-based: customers have SFTP access (via proftpd and mod_sftp), phpmyadmin, etc. They are jailed in their home directory on both levels: DefaultRoot ~ for FTP, and open_basedir for PHP, and it's working fine like this. Now I have added a few personal ruby on rails hosting on one of the servers (via mod_passenger), and I'd like to do so for other people. Problem: most of the RoR operations will require a ssh shell, for example for rake db:migrate, local gem installation, debugging, and local git repository management as well. I presume I am not the only one in this situation: if it is the case on your systems, may I ask how to you handle this case, to maintain the best overall system security ? I just saw shells/ibsh in the ports list which could have helped, but it doesn't really seem to be maintained (last update was in 2005). The rails user can't browse other user's directories (solved simply with unix filesystem rights), and he can't see other processes ( security.bsd.see_other_gids=0, security.bsd.see_other_uids=0, etc.), but one of the thing I would like to prevent is for example accessing some files like /etc/passwd (= listing all other customers domains in this specific case). Other things would be: - prevent the launch of daemons (- screen, irssi, bots, etc.) - ? - prevent the use of crontab -e (for some people): /var/cron/allow|deny The document under http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/security/harden.php is a good help, but not for all points... And it's also from 2005. Any suggestion welcome :) Merci regards, Olivier ___ 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

imagemagick/tiff lib - inverted tiffs since upgrade
Hello, I just spent some time with an issue: after a standard upgrade (by luck on a test server), the image generation/conversion part of a webpage is not working correctly anymore: pictures (which are dynamically re-sized with pecl-imagick) are simply inverted (but only TIFF's). Before: ImageMagick-nox11-6.4.9.3 Image processing tools gd-2.0.35,1 A graphics library for fast creation of images pecl-imagick-2.2.1_1 Provides a wrapper to the ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick librar tiff-3.8.2_3Tools and library routines for working with TIFF images After: ImageMagick-nox11-6.5.5.10 Image processing tools gd-2.0.35_2,1 A graphics library for fast creation of images pecl-imagick-2.3.0 Provides a wrapper to the ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick librar tiff-3.9.2 Tools and library routines for working with TIFF images I tried to downgrade some or all of these ports with portsdowngrade, but without luck until now (there are many dependencies).

Since a few days and some upgrades, if I try to access a new created repository via apache, I get a blank page and this error in the apache error log: == /var/log/httpd/httpd-error.log == Fatal error 'Recurse on a private mutex.' at line 986 in file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_mutex.c (errno = 86) [Tue May 12 11:56:02 2009] [notice] child pid 64353 exit signal Abort trap (6) The only difference between both repositories is the db/format file: diff -r repos/websites/testing/db/format repos/websites/testing2/db/format 1c1 4 --- 3 If format is 3 (subversion pre-1.6), everything works fine, but if the format is 4 the DAV/SVN part crashes (while everything remains fine via svn client / svnserve). I guess I should recompile something (apache?), or change a configuration somewhere, but I'm still looking where. Maybe you will have an idea? I'd still like to be able to use SVN/DAV with the new svn 1.6.x features...

filesystem: 12h to delete 32GB of data
Hello, $ df -m ; date ; rm -r templates_c ; df -m ; date Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 989 45 864 5%/ /dev/da0s1f128631 102179 1616086%/usr [...] Wed May 6 00:23:01 CEST 2009 Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 98945 864 5%/ /dev/da0s1f128631 69844 4849659%/usr Wed May 6 12:21:02 CEST 2009 - it took about 12 hours to delete these 30GB of files and sub-directories (smarty cache files: many small files in many dirs). It's a little bit surprising, as it's on a recent HP proliant DL360 g5 with SAS disks (Raid1) running freebsd 6.x ( /dev/da0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) ) Surprisingly, cpu load remained quite low during the operation (apache stayed responsive). Is it a known problem on this kind of hardware or something related to the filesystem? Is there a way to improve this? Even on my $500 PC with IDE disks this goes quicker... :) I checked http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/configtuning-disk.html but I'm not sure if this would help in this case. Any suggestion how I can fix that?

Re: filesystem: 12h to delete 32GB of data (4 million files)
Thanks for your answer Bill! (and to Will as well), Some more infos I gathered a few minutes ago: [~/templates_c]$ date; du -s -m ; date Wed May 6 13:35:15 CEST 2009 2652 . Wed May 6 13:52:36 CEST 2009 [~/templates_c]$ date ; find . | wc -l ; date Wed May 6 13:52:56 CEST 2009 305461 Wed May 6 14:09:39 CEST 2009 So this is on the system after a complete cache cleanup (at 00h00). 300'000 files and 2.6GB. So this night, there were probably around 3-4 million files to delete. Deletion may take time, but 20 minutes juste to _count_ all the files seems pretty long to me... I think I'll say a word to the developers to let them tune their caching system a bit :) On Wed, 2009-05-06 at 08:48 -0400, Bill Moran wrote: With lots of small files, the time involved is far less dependent on the size of data, and much more dependent on the number of files, and the resultant number of directory entries that need to be updated. Lots isn't a particularly accurate count of the # of files, but if you're talking web cache files, I'll guess they average 5k each, which means you had 6 million files. df -i would have been more useful in the output above. Thanks, noted for next time. Now it looks like that: Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity iusedifree %iused Mounted on /dev/da0s1f128631 70544 4779560% 1913875 15114219 11% /usr This brings a number of questions up: * Are you _sure_ softupdates is enabled on that partition? That's going to make the biggest improvement in speed. According to mount output, yes. I found no specific message about that in the syslog or dmesg. * Are these 7200RPM disks or 15,000? Again, going to make a big difference. HP 146GB 6G SAS 10K SFF DP ENT HDD (15k were not available at the time the servers were ordered) ( http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/serial/sas/index.html ) * If apache was still running, is it possible that it was creating enough disk activity to slow the activity down? Running top -m io will show you how much disk IO each process is creating. Yes, apache was still running, but the activity was quite low (it was during the night, and the webpage doesn't get so many hits before 9 am local time) While watching top -m io, the du or find takes between 80 and 99%, so I guess it's not the probleme here: PIDUID VCSW IVCSW READ WRITE FAULT TOTAL PERCENT COMMAND 87996 100259 56 0 0 0 0 0.00% php 45389 100235 25 0 0 2 2 0.84% php 3964 1002 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% httpd 3822 1002 151 98 0 0 0 0 0.00% httpd 3005 1002 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% httpd 4129 1002 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% httpd 3971 1002 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% httpd 4231 1002 1 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% httpd 4132 0 234 5234 0 0234 97.91% find 98862 1002 1 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% top 609 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.00% snmpd [...] * When you compared the speed to your laptop, did you delete 6 million files from the laptop? If you deleted a single 30G file, then you're comparing apples to atom bombs. Yes sorry, I know :) If this is a directory that you blow away on a regular schedule, you'd do much better to make it a dedicated partition and simply reformat it. Yes, it is one of the best options. My initial goal was to delete all files older than N days by cron (find | xargs | rm, etc.), but if each cronjob takes 2 hours (and takes so much cpu time), it's probably not the best way. I'll make some more tests on an test-server later this week and speak with the devs. Thanks again for your very constructive feedback!

upgrade 7.0 - 7.1 : portupgrade -af required?
Hello, After an upgrade from FreeBSD 7.0 to 7.1 (with freebsd-update in my case), is it required to recompile all ports (portupgrade -af) like specified in some docs/blog-entries, or is it not *really* necessary? What are you doing on your production systems? Having to upgrade several servers (15), it's quite important for me to estimate the time required for the operation... I did the upgrade on a test server here, and all ports still seems to work (apache, php, mysql, etc.) so I guess the answer is no, but I'd like to be sure before upgrading some important servers :-) According to: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second invocation of freebsd-update install, in order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x. It would be necessary only for major upgrades (6.x - 7.x).

Hello, Le 15 janv. 09 à 19:36, Peter Ulrich Kruppa a écrit : 1) On a production server you don't have so many ports, do you? So a portupgrade -af wouldn't take that long, would it? Well, it depends what you mean by not so many... :-) [...@omega09 ~]$ pkg_info | wc -l 370 just for a basic server with apache + mysql + php + spamassassin + clamav + qmail... 2) Probably you will get around without -af . But better have a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING first. Yes, it seems it's the answer for the upgrade 7.0 - 7.1, thanks for your answer and the 3 others on the list :) regards, Olivier ___ 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

mrtg peak on reboot / snmp-issue?
Hello, Small but curious thing on my freebsd-based systems: when a server is rebooted, it generates a peak (or spike?) on the network mrtg for all interfaces (here just before 1 am): http://8304.ch/om/stuff/mrtg_localhost_1-day.png It happens with both net-snmp and ucd-snmp, with a quite standard mrtg installation (generated by cfgmaker). Do you have the same issue on your own servers? All I can add, is that there is not such a high traffic after a reboot, and that it doesn't happen on similar linux-based systems.
