Re: Installation hangs during Archive extraction phase (9.1)

Hi,

Upon trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 on a HP Proliant DL585G5
installation freezes when it comes to the point Archive Extraction
while extracting ports.

To be specific, the system freezes while extracting ports.txz at 23%
with Overal Progress being 29%.


You don't actually need to install ports.txz. All it does is populate 
/usr/ports, but you can do that after install using portsnap as 
documented in the handbook 
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html):


portsnap fetch
portsnap extract




First I thought about the installation medium, so I re-burned the
installation CD (disc1), tried the DVD-installation, even installing
over the network - the machine always freezes when it comes to archive
extraction.

For the hardware part:
HP Proliant DL585G5
128GB RAM
8 HDs a 146GB: two of them in Raid-1, the remainder Raid0
2x onboard LAN: (HP NC371i)
2 addon NIC-cards with 2 ports each (HP NC360T)

Harddisk has been set up with GPT, for the test automatic
partitioning.

Has anybody out there seen this type of problem? If yes, any known
cure/hint/???

Thanks much in advance for any clue,
-ewald

Re: Errors building mysql55-client

I get these in poudriere:

 [01] Starting build of databases/mysql56-client
 [01] Finished build of databases/mysql56-client: Failed: checksum

This is mysql56, but I think it's related. As far as I know upstream 
changed the package because of man pages license issues. Didn't look 
into it any further, using mariadb mainly.

I'm going to confirm that this was a recent patch to the ports tree:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/databases/mysql55-server/distinfo?r1=320671r2=321789


It's pretty clear the versions the port is trying to download -used- to
match the distinfo file, but they no longer do. This cryptic comment:

   Distfile rerolled to make it clearer the license of this
   community edition (GPLv2).

seems to be the source of these errors which are biting me too.

It would be nice for some clearer documentation on why distinfo was
changed, what the real issue is, and what we can do to build this
correctly. Naively speaking, the version available for download off
the mysql site matches the old distinfo SHA checksum so I'm not sure why
this was changed at all.

I've CC'd the ports list and the responsible committer on this. I'll
file a PR too if I get no response to this message. :)

Without the altroot it replaces the live CD mounts, and basically renders the

other ways to make it work, mounting zroot and specifying a cache file, then cp 
the file over, etc., nothing I did worked except the above.  There is probably 
a cleaner/better way but I was not able to find it.



I seem to remember trying that too, forced import, but after an 
unsuccessful reboot, not at the end of the script. It didn't work for 
me. Anyway, thanks for the answers, it's a bit more clear now.

ZFS root, error 2 when mounting root

2013-02-24 Thread bw.mail.lists
Basically, I tried to follow 
https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE, but ended up 
with a system that didn't know how to mount /.


There are two scripts attached.

zfsnocache.sh follows the instructions on the wiki. The system booted 
just fine, but when it got to the part where it mounts the root 
partition, it stopped with 'error 2' 'unknown file system'. I could 
import the pool when booting from LiveFS, I wrote to it, it was working 
fine, but at boot it just refused to be mounted as /.


zfswithcache.sh from http://strahlert.net/wordpress/?p=142, I think. 
This worked with no issues.


The main difference I see between those two scripts is that one doesn't 
use a cache file and the other one does, hence the name of the scripts. 
But it should work without cachefile too, shouldn't it? The other 
difference is how mountpoints are set, but I can't figure out what could 
be wrong there.


Can someone please explain why zfsnocache fails to mount / ?

Re: convert date and time to epoch in awk

2013-02-19 Thread bw.mail.lists



 So, is there a way to compare two dates in FreeBSD's awk or convert 
a date
 to epoch? Or some other fast way to select the last 10 minutes from 
a log

 file? An example would be appreciated, if possible.


 Converting a date to an epoch is easy with date(1) (note: awk can 
make a system

 call and read back the stdout into a variable).

 For example, if I want to convert the date:

 Fri 01 Feb 2013

 into an epoch using:

 date -j -f %a %d %b %Y Fri 01 Feb 2013 +%s

 The output of which is the following epoch:

 1359763497

 Doing this all from awk:

 echo Fri 01 Feb 2013 | awk '
 {
 mydate = $0
 date -j -f \%a %d %b %Y\ \ mydate \ +%s | getline myepoch
 print mydate  =  myepoch
 }'

 Hope this helps.


It does, exactly what I was looking for, many thanks.

Re: convert date and time to epoch in awk

2013-02-19 Thread bw.mail.lists




b I want to write a script that parses the last, say, 10 minutes of a log
b file looking for a certain string, like 'error', or failed', and returns
b how many times it shows up. The script would be run by Nagios and if it
b returns  0 an alert is raised. Each line of the log file starts with a
b date like 'Feb 19 23:45:32'.

Instead of looking for 'error' or 'failed', I'd recommend weeding out
benign log entries and returning everything else.


Well, that was just an example, my needs are a bit more specific, but I 
found some new stuff for later in those links, thanks.
