cause of reboot

2013-09-30 Thread Emre Çamalan
Hi,
my server reboots every night and same o'clock last 10 days. But this machine's 
uptime was 96days.

Suddenly reboot this machine and now this continue every night again and again.

I didn't find any reason and I didn't change anything else.

I looked last command, 
reboot ~ ~   AM 03.15  ~


I checked dmesg -a , it has only generic things no other things.

I checked /var/log/messages

I wrote script and checked swapinfo , cpu and memory but all of them was normal 
before reboot.

I checked crontab and scripts.

I checked crashinfo  but no dump from kernel.

I didn't find any useful info from this commands.

I checked praudit /var/audir/20130930..CrashRecovery  
and I didn't understand very well from this file but I think this means my 
machine crash and reboot isn't it??

And How can I understand what is the reason of rebooting my FreeBSD8.3 server.

Please help I need to find cause of reboot..

That's likely something in the daily run going wrong, try disabling
items in there one by one (by editing /etc/periodic.conf - which probably
doesn't yet exist so create it and look in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf for
details) until you get through a night without a reboot. Then the next step
is to figure out why whatever is crashing the system does so, but first
let's find out what.

Firstly, does this machine have the kernel debugger installed?
if not then a kernel page fault will look like a reboot.

if you know when this is going to occur, then I suggest that you
set up some logging of every new process run, to a second machine, or 
possibly

you might just ssh int the machine and leave 'top' running
when it reboots you shoud get a snapshot of what's going on.

you could just rename 'reboot' and see if it still happens.
If not, then replace reboot (and friends) with a script that reports 
who called it.

My gateway/firewall/mail/ids router box at home has 2 GB RAM in it, so 
normally it has enough extra room that nothing ever pushes over into swap 
with one exception: the periodic run at 0300. It is generally never more 
than just a few kilobytes, but I find it slightly surprising nonetheless.

If a sector (or more) on the drive that is backing the swap partition has 
gone bad it might not even be noticeable until something pages out to swap 
(like my 0300 periodic run). 

If the drive is a WD the 'Quick' test using the manufacturers' wddiags 
utility should spot it, and is non-destructive. I have occasionally seen the 
full test not destroy data - but I wouldn't count on it being non-
destructive. However, as long as the remap area isn't full the long test 
will repair the drive by relocating and mapping out the bad spot. When this 
silent fading away of magnetic media occurs wrt to higher-end RAID 
controllers the scrub function in the controller BIOS is where you would 
want to go.

The other problem relative to this that I've run into is the apple before 
the cart syndrome around backups. I have seen dump fail to allow for backing 
up data prior to using the full wddiags to repair a drive so you kinda get 
stuck. If the full test is going to wipe the drive and you can't generate a 
fresh current backup you're stuck only being able to restore whatever is the 
last good backup you have on hand.

Wouldn't surpise me at all if this were to turn out to be the drive just 
recently grew one or more bad spots. A bad spot or few on an old drive that 
gets repaired I might continue to use the drive for a while, maybe even for 
like a year time-frame wise. If 2 months later it starts growing more bad 
spots the drive goes in the rubbish bin.

 Power supplies and hard drives are in a race to see which one will fail

 is the machine in question?

Absolute and total agreement with this. As they age and the filter caps leak 
and dry out more it will eventually become apparent. But in the meantime the 
output DC can just about meet spec up until really loaded. Then the ripple 
becomes so excessive it's not quite DC any longer. You can clearly see it 
using an oscilloscope. 

The 0300 AM periodic does hammer a machine enough to possibly push a 
marginal power supply over the edge. I once had a box where the RAM chips 
would sing with a high-pitched whistle only during the 0300 periodic run. 
It sounded just like the horizontal output on a television right before 
destruction.  :-)

The idea of a hardware problem looks more and more obvious here.

A software configuration problem could be located by diff'ing
the currently used files against stock files, or by checking
the logs of a versioning system (if you use one to track your
local configuration file changes, for example in a CVS reposi-
tory).

It could be a matter of power (by more than usual drain when
the machine is heavily loaded), but also a file system inconsis-
tency is possible. In case the machine is using a background
fsck that silently fails to deal with a specific damage, using
background_fsck=NO in /etc/rc.conf to _definitely_ bring the
file systems up _clean_ prior to multi-user mode booting would
probably be a good idea. Using smartctl to check the hard disks
SMART data would make sure the disk is not dying (and the reboot
is an effect of that).

Monitoring the server when (or while) it reboots would surely be
interesting. Maybe open some sessions to have a close look at
programs like top, systat -v and mbmon (to check for
temperatures and voltages) - and when run at 1 second intervals,
it should be possible to obtain a good system status diagram
of the last state before reboot, when the connection drops.

I have heared something comparable from a graphics card when

Re: Re-add lost device entries without a reboot; troubleshoot RAID card

 I have several hard drives running through an M1015 flashed to think it's
 an LSI 9211-8i IT. I've been running them successfully for the last three
 months through mps(4) as part of a raidz pool, but had the pool drop to a
 degraded state when /dev/da0 (and associated gpt device) disappeared after
 some apparent errors.

 After a reboot, I noticed that the disk that disappeared - da0 - was
 successfully probed and resilvered back in to the existing pool. I ran a
 short SMART self test and everything was fine. I ran a long SMART self test
 and the drive disappeared again towards the end of the scan (I didn't get a
 chance to view the results)

 I'd like to know if there's a way to suggest to 're-probe' connections to
 see if there are any devices that can be reconnected. It's clear that the
 drive is still around and at least partially responsive - is there a way I
 can online this disk, as just a device in its own right, such that I can
 finishing running the SMART diagnostics?

 I've read some old mentions of mps not being the most stable thing under
 load, but the mentions are over a year old. The initial failure happened
 right at the time the daily periodic was running (Which includes a check
 for negative permissions on the zfs partition) and the second failure was
 during a SMART long test, so I guess there's potential for load there.
 How might I go about diagnosing whether this is just the drive or possibly
 the card itself? I suppose the obvious Move it off the raid card is
 probably a good first start...

Re-add lost device entries without a reboot; troubleshoot RAID card

2013-07-14 Thread Jason Birch
I have several hard drives running through an M1015 flashed to think it's
an LSI 9211-8i IT. I've been running them successfully for the last three
months through mps(4) as part of a raidz pool, but had the pool drop to a
degraded state when /dev/da0 (and associated gpt device) disappeared after
some apparent errors.

After a reboot, I noticed that the disk that disappeared - da0 - was
successfully probed and resilvered back in to the existing pool. I ran a
short SMART self test and everything was fine. I ran a long SMART self test
and the drive disappeared again towards the end of the scan (I didn't get a
chance to view the results)

I'd like to know if there's a way to suggest to 're-probe' connections to
see if there are any devices that can be reconnected. It's clear that the
drive is still around and at least partially responsive - is there a way I
can online this disk, as just a device in its own right, such that I can
finishing running the SMART diagnostics?

I've read some old mentions of mps not being the most stable thing under
load, but the mentions are over a year old. The initial failure happened
right at the time the daily periodic was running (Which includes a check
for negative permissions on the zfs partition) and the second failure was
during a SMART long test, so I guess there's potential for load there.
How might I go about diagnosing whether this is just the drive or possibly
the card itself? I suppose the obvious Move it off the raid card is
probably a good first start...

Hi Shane,

Thanks much for the hints you sent me. Since I'm pretty swamped with
work it took me a couple of days before I could go on with my tests.

 Can you boot into single user mode?

Nope - freezes at the exact same point during boot.

 what does sysctl kern.eventtimer.choice show?

Well - nothing to be honest:
variable 'kern.eventtimer.choice' not found

 Have you tried kern.eventtimer.periodic=0 or other values for 
 kern.eventtimer.timer?

With kern.eventtimer.periodic=0 - same result.

What other values would be valid for kern.eventtimer.timer?

 Is the panic the same without the loader adjustments?

Yes, absolutely the same.

 Does it boot 8.3 ?

Haven't tried this, since I need to go to 9.1 on this system
anyway. Besides that the server is in a remote DC so changing disks is
not an easy thing to do.

I did say just guessing and thought someone more knowledgeable may have
spoken by now. One thing I did find - there is a freebsd-proliant
mailing list that may be more helpful than here.

Wondering if the system needs to be running to see that.

That's where the eventtimer.choice comes in.
As an example on my asus mb I get
kern.eventtimer.choice: LAPIC(600) HPET(550) HPET1(440) HPET2(440)
HPET3(440) HPET4(440) i8254(100) RTC(0)
I thought in single user mode you could see your list of available options.

Yes, absolutely the same.

If 8.3 boots it then you can patch and compile your own kernel that
supports your hardware. Being remote it may not be helpful unless you
can have some indication that it will boot 8.3

Panic/reboot while trying to install 9.1 on a HP Proliant DL580G5

2013-06-06 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi,

Several days ago I got a HP Proliant DL580 G5 that I wanted to install
FreeBSD 9.1 (64bit) on - till now without any success :-(.

Symptoms: Upon booting off the installation DVD the system freezes
(when running the installation non-verbose) or installation stops
with a panic followed by an automatic reboot.

Here's what I tried so far:

o) Updating BIOS, array-controller, iLO to the latest version
o) Booting the installation DVD in safe-mode 
o) Booting the installatino DVD verbose mode
o) Escaping to the loader prompt, entering
kern.eventtimer.periodic=1
kern.eventtimer.timer=LAPIC
   and booting the install-DVD with these settings
   (I once could boot and older HP-server using these settings, so 
   I tried them here too)

Nothing of this helped - the system just freezes/crashes in an early
stage even before the actual installer starts.

I uploaded screenshots to a server so you can see what's happening:

(FreeBSD-install-crash-HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-04.jpg shows the actual
panic/stacktrace)

Anybody seen this before?

Any known cure against this problem?

Thanks much in advance for any clue,

Hang on reboot with ZIL on SSD

2013-02-26 Thread b...@todoo.biz
Hi, 

I have a quite big server that I am tuning with FreeNAS running on It. 
It is based on an Intel Server and uses an Adaptec Controler ASR-6805 for a 
potential 12 disks pool (only 6 deployed for the moment). 

I have two more SSD disks intended for the ZIL cache. Connected directly on the 
mother board. 

It comes equipped with 32Gb of memory ECC. 

The system is installed on a specific dongle on the mother board (4Gb SLC 
dongle). 



The system is happy (= reboots without stopping at the real end of the reboot) 
as long as there is no SSD involved for the ZIL. As soon as the SSD are 
running, system freezes (or at least can't proceed with the reboot). 

It really freezes at the real end of the reboot after : 


 Syncing disks, vnodes remaining…*0 0 0 0 done 
 All buffers synced. 
 Uptime: 3d4h12min



I have to manually Power-Cycle the unit for It to complete the reboot.

Does your 9.1-STABLE still hang on reboot?

2013-02-20 Thread Ross
Hi.

I am talking about this PR:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=172952cat=%20jb

It should be fixed in STABLE, but I want to make sure it's safe to
upgrade my 9.0 systems to 9.1-STABLE now.

Use 'netstat' to see what service(s) listen for ipv6 traffic and restart them.

Having no luck connecting with my server, I reboot, and all is fine. 

What could it be about rebooting the server that allows connection
where otherwise it is not possible?

Any ideas where I can look for answers?

5 seconds seems like a pretty tight for it to give up. Do you have any
other defaults in your ppp.conf not shown below ?

also add

 enable echo
 disable vjcomp
 set lqrperiod 10
 set cd 10

and when its not working, try

tcpdump -nei fxp0

You should see responses to your PADI requests from the remote BAS.
Also get rid of the 209.161.205.12 line. Typically your ISP will assign
you the static IP out of RADIUS and you dont need to specify it.

Re: how to force a hard reboot remotely

2011-07-17 Thread Polytropon
On Sat, 16 Jul 2011 22:40:19 -0400, Aryeh Friedman wrote:

I'm not fully sure what you mean by reset in terms
that it happens _after_ powering down. When a machine
is powered down (i. e. switched off), it's implicitely
a reset - compare to pressing the RESET button which
will keep the system powered on, but will perform a
(very hard) reset.

Allow me to point you to the following manpages:

man shutdown

man reboot

man init

A problem will be: How to power a machine back on that
has been powered off?

I assume you don't want the hard reset, you want to
perform a clean shutdown first, followed by a powering
down, and THEN power the machine back up.

That's quite easy, although you need something more than
just onboard means.

I may introduce a (quite stupid) solution I invented many
years ago: Prior to performing the shutdown -p time
command, you access one of the parallel port's lines in
order to start a timer (a quite basic transistor + relay
is sufficient). This timer runs at least as long as the
shutdown needs in average. Let's assume the shutdown
needs (including all timeouts and wait states) 5 minutes.
After those 5 minutes, the timer generates a pressing
of the machine's power button, which means it will power
on again.

It's comparable to C. E. Shannon's Ultimate Machine in
some regards. :-)

Of couse, this approach can be used even to switch on
AT systems which (unlike ATX) have a real power switch.
This switch is then replaced by a self-supporting relay
system that can be externally triggered (as those systems
can't reflect the -p option of shutdown, just -h is
possible).

I hope this is a little inspiration about what's possible
if you're willing to get your hands dirty. :-)

You haven't said what about an ordinary shutdown -r isn't satisfactory, 
but we have an iboot gizmo

that we use on a (non-FreeBSD) server that hangs from time to time. WOL

Sure!

If I understand your question correctly, reboot yes, shutdown then
powerup by itself *Don't know :( *

You can setup a crontab (as root user or with setuid ),

something like
30 09 * * * /sbin/init 6  /dev/null;

would reboot the machine at 9:30 am.  But if you mean shut it down and
then restart it automatically, I don't know for sure if it can be
done?

Powerdown:   'man shutdown'  see the -p option.  Hardware dependant.

Reset after powerdown:  Hardware dependant.  requires remomte 'console'

WOW! That's a tall order. A reboot from remote is simple, but a cold bootI 
don't think that's possible unless you have some kind of Wake-On-Lan capable 
NIC 
which could detect a connection attempt while the machine is off. I can't say 
that for sure because what you've got to remember is that with a cold boot, the 
machine will no longer remember what OS it was running until it reboots. My 
advice would be to get to the console if you absolutely have to cold boot it. 
Or 
call someone nearby the console and have the actually turn the machine off, 
wait 
the obligatory 30 seconds and then restart it. Someone else may have a better 
idea.

When bottom replying, please clear the header and signature - thanks.

You can set up a BIOS boot time, if you can get onsite... that would allow you 
to power it down at, say, 11:59PM and have it power back on at Midnight.

Or a UPS that's controlled by another machine. Or the magic packet WOL 
option... but those require another machine. Maybe a switch or router than can 
send WOL packets would be a possibility?

If you have a server motherboard with IPMI (or a high-end server with a
service processor module), you can use that to power cycle the system
remotely even if the OS is hung.

Odds are this would be a little bit of a hardware mod.  Get a 
microcontroller and a relay, and tell the microcontroller to kill power 
to the system.  Make sure in the BIOS you're set to restart when the 
power comes back on.  If that fails you'll need another relay to short 
the on button.  I don't know of anything in the computer that could be 
easily used instead of a microcontroller.


You might be able to find something that'll work related to home 
automation.  But the only guarantee of a power down is physically 
killing power, even if you're a thousand miles away.

 You can set up a BIOS boot time, if you can get onsite... that would allow 
 you to power it down at, say, 11:59PM and have it power back on at Midnight.
 
 Or a UPS that's controlled by another machine. Or the magic packet WOL 
 option... but those require another machine. Maybe a switch or router than 
 can send WOL packets would be a possibility?

I had something like this in late 1995.  Remotely 
shutdown -h [time]  got my box powered down, then a 
remote timer cycled the power.  Problems were: that the 
timer was hard to set exacrly.  [There may have ben two
timers; it was a bear of a problem.  ]

If you're asking about the userland ppp using tunXX interfaces, yes.  You can 
kill ppp, then re-run ppp -auto config2 and it will bring up ppp using a 
second config instead.

No good ideas here, though I think we just turned off PSL_T by
accident so it ran for a while before hanging after this.  'E' must be
the start of a message on the console.

The free() should be the free to free the softc but that implies it had a 
previous driver and softc.  Maybe add some debug info to devclass_set_driver() 
to print out the previous driver's name (and maybe the value of the pointer)
before free'ing the softc.  You could use gdb on the kernel.debug and the 
pointer value to figure out exactly which driver was the previous one and look 
to see if it's probe routine does something funky with the softc pointer.

One of my systems running 8.1-STABLE started reliably(?) hanging at the
Rebooting... step whenever try to reboot it.  It's been doing this for
the last month or so.  I haven't seen the earlier hang.  9.0-CURRENT on
the same hardware doesn't experience this problem.

I haven't had time to try to debug this, so I've just been using the

Re: How to prevent system to launch interactive fsck after improper shutdown and reboot?

2010-09-16 Thread Polytropon
On Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:11:30 -0400 (EDT), d...@safeport.com wrote:
 I have had two systems die with bad disks.

Personally, I never had trouble with bad disks, but with
defective file systems (origin unknown), and follow-up
trouble caused by background fsck that prevented me many
years from accessing my data. Going the old fashioned
way brought everything back.

Long story short: A present .snapshot from the 1st
background fsck (which was introduced as default in
5.0, as far as I remember) caused fsck from working
as expected; after removing this file, I got all the
missing data back.

Luckily, the problem didn't seem to be related to
actual disk failure, as SMART data didn't give a hint
about that. I did work with a 1:1 dd copy anyway.



 Modern disks die silently which I think is too bad.

You usally see messages in dmesg / console that indicate
disk trouble. In mos cases, those messages say that the
disk is already dying - it's too late for repair. So
time for backup and replacement. Seems that this is the
result of continuing bigger and cheaper disks...



 If this is 
 happening and you have data you want to recover you
 might try booting in single user move and using fsck
 manually on each slice.

The fsck program operates on partitions, not on slices.
Terminology, dear Watson. :-)

How to prevent system to launch interactive fsck after improper shutdown and reboot?

Almost every time after improper shutdown (poweroff) and reboot I get 
into interactive fsck.


I am being asked whole bunch of questions to which I just have to answer 
Y (what are my other options?)


Why drop user into interactive fsck if there is not much choice anyways? 
Is there a way to set it up the way it doesn't drop into interactive 
mode? Like answer 'Y' to all questions?

I think this might do your trick:

fsck_y_enable=NO  # Set to YES to do fsck -y if the initial preen
fails.
fsck_y_flags= # Additional flags for fsck -y

The reason for this to get interactively is because this  might messup
with your filesystem, and you are the one responsible for your filesystem,
not us or the autmated system. So in case you want to play with that,
that's entirely up to you.

In addition, I can imagine that companies (been there done it) do not want
to fsck -y by default, this because of the mentioned potential corruption
and dataloss.

Thanks

 Why drop user into interactive fsck if there is not much choice anyways? 
 Is there a way to set it up the way it doesn't drop into interactive 
 mode? Like answer 'Y' to all questions?

Yes, just do:

$ echo 16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D4D465452snlb xq | dc
$ man rc.conf | col -b | fgrep fsck_

In general one should avoid unclean shutdowns. I even after such event
go into single user mode and run fsck(8) by hand.

 I think this might do your trick:
 
 fsck_y_enable=NO  # Set to YES to do fsck -y if the initial preen
 fails.
 fsck_y_flags= # Additional flags for fsck -y
 
 The reason for this to get interactively is because this  might messup
 with your filesystem, and you are the one responsible for your filesystem,
 not us or the autmated system. So in case you want to play with that,
 that's entirely up to you.
 
 In addition, I can imagine that companies (been there done it) do not want
 to fsck -y by default, this because of the mentioned potential corruption
 and dataloss.

Very important point.

As an addition, allow me to mention

background_fsck=YES

as an entry in /etc/rc.conf. This will let the system boot up and perform
fsck checks while the system is running - running on a maybe defective or
inconsistent file system. This is dangerous, but possible. It utilizes a
snapshot mechanism which can cause further trouble (lost / emptyinodes
and disappearing subtrees of files).

Personally, if fsck requires YOUR attention, there's usually a reason for
this. The reason is possible data loss or file system corruption where YOU
take the responsibility of decision, not fsck. By default, fsck does not
do damaging, but under strange circumstances, it can happen. For example,
if you want to do a special kind of data recovery or forensic analysis on
a file system, you potentially DO NOT WANT fsck to assume y for all the
questions because that can make your job harder.

A common additional y flag is -f (means fsck -yf) to force all operations
suggested by fsck and confirming them.

Train your friends to shut the machine down by pressing (not holding

clean shutdown/poweroff.

I have had two systems die with bad disks. This email contains great information

system I did a -yf in single user mode and was able to get most of my data 
because the bad sectors were in /usr/local which had many missing files and 
directories. Modern disks die silently which I think is too bad. If this is 
happening and you have data you want to recover you might try booting in single 
user move and using fsck manually on each slice. If you are lucky, your errors 
will be in /tmp or /var.

box reboot after hdd write error

2010-08-18 Thread claudiu vasadi
Hello fellas,

My system is a 8.0-RELEASE with 6 hdd's. 2 days ago I had some power
failures and 2 disks were affected. These 2 hdd;s are connected to atapci0:
SiI 3512 SATA150 controller port
0xd000-0xd007,0xd100-0xd103,0xd200-0xd207,0xd300-0xd303,0xd400-0xd40f mem
0xfa4a-0xfa4a01ff irq 12 at device 4.0 on pci2 s-ata controller. Before
the power surge, the disks were operating normally. I use them for storage,
therefore no system data is kept on them.

The issue here is that after the write failure, the box reboots. Up to this
point I cannot figure out why it reboots, since the disks contain no
relevant data (from a OS point of view).

Do you think it's normal for an OS to reboot if 2 disks have write errors ?
even more so, if the disks have no OS files on them ?

How often is it rebooting? And it's not saying or doing anything it just 
randomly reboots? That seems more like a hardware issue than something 
OS related since the OS isn't even on those disks. If it's just data 
disks you could unplug them to see if the machine still reboots. That 
would let you know for sure if they really are the problem or if it's 
something else. Are you sure the power surge didn't affect the power 
supply? Also did you do anything to the system after the power surge 
(like open it up for any reason where there may be a loose wire not 
plugged in all the way). The last thing I would mention is this could 
all be a coincidence and it might be related to heat, make sure all your 
fans are working and that there isn't any big dust buildup inside (gogo 
compressed air).

Fwd: box reboot after hdd write error

2010-08-18 Thread claudiu vasadi
 How often is it rebooting?

Only after the write failure. If I do read from the disks, everything is
fine


  If it's just data disks you could unplug them to see if the machine still
 reboots. That would let you know for sure if they really are the problem or
 if it's something else.

I could try that but it will take some time since I am only administering
the box and I have no access to it  (fizicaly)


 Are you sure the power surge didn't affect the power supply?

Yes I am. The other 4 disks are ok and the system has no other symptoms of
any kind


 Also did you do anything to the system after the power surge (like open it
 up for any reason where there may be a loose wire not plugged in all the
 way).

Nope.


 The last thing I would mention is this could all be a coincidence and it
 might be related to heat, make sure all your fans are working and that there
 isn't any big dust buildup inside (gogo compressed air).

Crossed my mind too. I ran long and short smart test on it and it came up
ok. Temp is ~37 degrees celsius. Like I said, the disks were ok before the
power surge. All the fans are working fine.

Sorry, I forgot to put the list in CC

cpu_reset: stopping other CPUs - machine stalls at halt or reboot

2010-07-25 Thread claudiu vasadi
Hello fellas,


I have a vmware FreeBSD guest with 8 CPU's and 2GB RAM.

I am a bit puzzled of the behaviour the system has when I issue reboot
and/or halt -p now. It shows cpu_reset: stopping other CPUs and stalls
for ~2 minutes.

I have a custom SMP kernel and at the moment I was unable to reveal any
problems with the guest or the host (win 7).

FreeBSD has all ports up to date and at the moment of reboot or shutdown, no
heavy is running.


Did any of you experience something similar ?

Yeah - I've seen the same thing when rebooting - the cpu_reset message
appears and there is a long delay before a reboot happens. I have no
problems powering off though (shutdown -p). I've got a -current vm
under 6.5.4 with 2 CPUs, host OS is Windows 7,  that can take a while
to reboot. I haven't timed it but 90 seconds from the message
appearing is a good estimate. Since the disks should already be synced
by that point, there doesn't seem to be any harm in just resetting the
VM - I've done it a number of times and never had any issues.

However, even on a real computer, there is a bit of a delay here - my
Thinkpad T61 will sit there for around 20 seconds before actually
rebooting. I have no idea how to even start debugging this kind of
thing and it isn't a really big deal to me (I don't reboot too often
and just use the workaround when I do), so I never reported it.

Rob,

In the meantime I installed a real freebsd on my work T400 and I am
experiencing the same thing. I believe that at this point I can rule out a
vmware problem.

PS: I also tried hard rebooting after I consider the sync done and I did not
experience any weird behavior. Still  is it intended to stall so long ?

I hope not, because I don't like it.

  Yes.  I had this happen for a long time.
  The bad news is it had been years since I fixed it, and I no

 Permissions are set using the mtree files:
 
 /etc/mtree/
 

Furthermore, the default setup *is* for named to run as an unprivileged
process.  The setup is very carefully designed so that named doesn't
have write permission on the directory where its configuration files are
stored, or on directories that contain static zone files, but it does
have write permission on directories it uses for zone files AXFR'd from
a master, or zone files maintained using dynamic DNS.

This used to generate a warning from bind about not having a writable
current working directory -- which was basically harmless and could be
ignored.  However recent changes mean bind needs a writable working
directory, so the latest layouts include /var/named/etc/namedb/working

Cheers,

so the logical extension to this is by changing the ownership of the
directory to bind, you are making the configuration directory writeable, and
therefore you are actually lowering security.

 directory, so the latest layouts include /var/named/etc/namedb/working

That turned out to be the issue. I reset the permissions
to match the way they are when one first installs bind.
Root owns /var/named but bind owns directories that should be
writable so the trick is to set one's named.conf file to
reference writable directories for all the zones, logs and
named.pid. It is now starting automatically on reboot just like
it should.

While bind owns all the writable subdirectories, they
all still have wheel as their GID. That appears to be okay since
they are all only writable by owner.

Thanks for explaining this annoying little mystery that
has dogged me at a minor level for years.

I have been running bind for Oklahoma State University
for close to 18 years and one tends to stick with configurations
that work. It is just time to modernize and at least configure
bind in the recommended way so as to take full advantage of the
clever design.

It does still give the message that the working
directory is not writable.

Ownership of /var/named Changes on Reboot.

2010-06-16 Thread Martin McCormick
I run named chrooted to bind but not in a jail. When the
system reboots, something changes ownership of /var/named back
to root:wheel.

I have thought several times I figured out how to
prevent this from happening, but to no avail. The most promising
lead was the following directives in /etc/rc.conf.local:

named_uid=bind# User to run named as
named_chrootdir=  # Chroot directory (or  not to auto-chroot it)
named_chroot_autoupdate=YES   # Automatically install/update chrooted

Is there a way to keep /var/named owned by bind across
reboots?

Our production FreeBSD systems are up for years at a
time so we don't see this problem often, but we have just been
lucky that I am usually the one to reboot and know that named
will come up broken and exit because named can not write in to
/var/named when it is owned by root. It would be really nice to
be able to count on /var/named staying put so named can just
start automatically after a reboot.

I prefer for named to run as a low-priority UID rather
than as root so if I am doing something wrong, tell me that,
also. We have been running named with a high-numbered UID for
probably ten years and the force back to root ownership has
always been a factor when the system is rebooted.

Thank you.

iwi0 and spontaneous reboot on /etc/rc.d/netif restart

2010-04-26 Thread Torgeir Hoffmann
Hi,

over the last 6 months or so, I have been so unfortunate to experience
spontaneous reboots when I restart netif.
Most of the time it leaves no trace in logs, but this time I was fortunate
enough to be able to scrible down something while in console.
I hope someone can shed some light on this - and I will be happy to provide
a config files if necessary - it's basicly a standard setup with
iwi0, wpa_supplicant connecting via wpa. It is a T42 with a Intel 2200BG.

There is no issues in other OSes, so I figure this to be a driver specific
problem. This is from handwritten notes, so there may be some inaccuracies.
It is FreeBSD 8.0-release.

FreeBSD 8.0 reboot hangs at welcome screen

2010-03-03 Thread n dhert
I have a server with VMware ESXi4 with two FreeBSD-amd64 virtual machines
(one 7.2, one 8.0).
I wanted to do a shutdown -r of the 8.0 machine.
The system when down, started 'Rebooting ..', showed the FBSD Welcome
screen, counted down 10 seconds, .. then nothing happened, waited about 5
minutes
nothing happened.
I had do power-off the Virtual Machine, then power-on and it rebooted.
After that I saw the time (date command) on that machine was 5 minutes
behind ...

Why is that?
And can the 5 minutes behind in time be caused by that 5 minute 'hang'
period?

Hi,
 
FreeBSD 8.0 Release send two MLDv2 Reports at reboot before performing DAD for 
its Link Local address,
One for the IPv6 Solicited-node multicase address(i.e FF02::1:FFDB:ACD5)  and 
other is unknown (i.e FF02::2:21d:d024 ).
Could anyone please clarify me, why FreeBSD is send MLDv2 Report for

Please fine the attached  ifconfig output and tcpdump trace captures and reboot

 Only a guess: network interface comes up too late.  If you're using DHCP to
 configure that interface, you could try SYNCDHCP.  Or if it's an re(4)
 interface, there are patches in 8-STABLE that make it come up faster.

Spoke too soon.  On one reboot, the interface couldn't talk to DHCP
until I set it down then back up.  I have gone to statically setting
the IP.  Not ideal, but seems to be working (based on one clean
reboot).

I have most things working, but I have noticed that every time I
reboot the machine, I need to manually restart named to get it
listening on the proper interfaces as by default it is listening on
127.0.0.1 interfaces only.  A simple /etc/rc.d/named restart fixes it
which seems like it would be configured correctly, but I have had to
do this on a install before.

Anyone have a guess as to what could be wrong?


Only a guess: network interface comes up too late.  If you're using DHCP 
to configure that interface, you could try SYNCDHCP.  Or if it's an 
re(4) interface, there are patches in 8-STABLE that make it come up 
faster.

Re: networking won't come back up until reboot after ISP outage

2009-11-13 Thread umage

Sounds like you are narrowing down the culprit(s). Also note that it could
possibly be a timing issue related to the order things start up. If 
the NATD

is attempting to start before the interface has come up it will die.
/etc/rc.d/natd has no REQUIRE section, so it is indeed possible for it 
to activate right at the very start. It also has a 'precmd' that checks 
for dhcp interfaces and sets up the -dynamic flag. Might be related. I 
have no way of knowing though, unless I add some debug messages and 
figure out to log them. I added REQUIRE: NETWORKING and now I'm 
waiting to see if the issue appears again. It's a tedious procedure... 
and the fact that sometimes, this causes named to not work isn't helping 
either.


You can use something like natd_flags=-l in /etc/rc.conf.
I have tried this, and the only thing it logs are nat rules that get set 
up at startup time. I could not find anything that would turn on actual 
status messages for this process...


PS: Is there a way to turn on logging on the entire rc startup 
procedure? There are a lot of messages that get printed onto the 
physical screen, but none of them actually end up in /var/log/messages. 
None of the three 'rc_debug', 'rc_info' or 'rc_startmsgs' do it.

My first gut instinct about your problem was to blame dhclient first. But no 
NATD would definitely be a problem. I am assuming we are talking about IPFW 
and NATD here, and it has been many years since I've used it. I migrated to 
IPFILTER and then on to PF quite some time ago.

Most logging related to IPFW is already present, but IIRC to log NATD you 
need to turn it on, and possibly configure it in syslog.conf should you 
desire the output somewhere other than /var/log/alias.log.

Keep in mind there are two ways to pass options. You can use something like 
natd_flags=-l in /etc/rc.conf. Man natd will provide a list. The second 
method is to place the options in a file such as natd.conf and pull them in 
like natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf.

I looked in my notes and here is a snippet from an old /etc/rc.conf:

natd_enable=YES
natd_interface=ppp0
natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf

My /etc/natd.conf:

interface ppp0
use_sockets yes
same_ports yes
dynamic yes

You could add a 'log yes' line here; it does the same as the -l described 
above. Note that you might need the 'dynamic yes' switch for an interface 
that changes. In my case I was using it for a ppp dial-up connection, change 
interface as needed.

Sounds like you are narrowing down the culprit(s). Also note that it could 
possibly be a timing issue related to the order things start up. If the NATD 
is attempting to start before the interface has come up it will die. 
Shouldn't happen, but...   YMMV

networking won't come back up until reboot after ISP outage

2009-11-07 Thread umage
Hello. I have had 3 network outages this week, and everytime it 
happened, I found that my freebsd8rc1 machine/router was unable to 
communicate over the WAN interface even after the outages ended. A 
reboot helps, but that's not an acceptable solution.


The symptoms are very weird: even though dhclient successfully receives 
a dhcp lease and sets up the interface, I am unable to ping the gateway. 
The ifconfig utility says the interface is up and configured correctly; 
netstat -arn says routes are set up as they should be; and tcpdump 
reports random network traffic arriving on the interface (so the network 
itself is up and running). Taking the interface down and back up doesn't 
help, reloading ipfw rules doesn't help.


I have some more things to test - whether tcpdump reports any attempts 
at outgoing traffic, and whether disconnecting/reconnecting the network 
cable will do anything. And maybe reverting ipfw rules to what I've been 
using before. Other than this, I have no idea what else to do...

Have you tried restarting routing?

/etc/rc.d/routing restart

I have found the same symptoms with other outages and not performing the
above.

I have done /etc/rc.d/netif restart and /etc/rc.d/routing restart.

Wtih using these commands, I have found this to be successful in restoring
network interfaces communication, without having to reboot.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the hint, I will try it when this happens again.
Note: the output of netstat -r was identical to what it is currently...
FYI: I've been using freebsd 6.2 - 7.2 until now, and I never had to 
intervene - the system resumed networking as usual. It might have 
something to do with migrating to 8rc1 (most likely not), or that I'm

My configuration is most likely different from yours in that my DSL modem-
router is configured for split-bridge. This allows the DSL modem to handle 
the PPPoE connection and login but passes the WAN IP to my FreeBSD gateway 
box via DHCP. So the NIC on my gateway is getting it's lease from the DSL 
modem instead of directly from Verizon. Your DHCP lease is probably coming 
directly from the ISP I would presume.

When the connection goes down and comes back up it will take 5 minutes 
before my FreeBSD gateway box checks the lease and decides if a renewal is 
in order. This is automatic. If I am sitting in front of my computer and I 
want to speed this up I issue /etc/rc.d/netif restart on the gateway and it 
will come up and be happy in about 10 seconds, rather than waiting out the 5 
minute time out.

wpi0 went away, though a reboot cures it.

2009-09-13 Thread Kurt Buff
Today, after leaving my Lenovo T61 on overnight to do some compiles, I
lost my wireless. I tried a few other things that what I've listed
below, but none of it worked. This is a dual boot machine - I also run
Windows XP, and don't have any issues with wireless on that OS. Any
clues would be appreciated.

# uname -a

First, in /var/log/messages, I found the following:

So I tried stopping and starting netif:

Then, I let the compile get as far as it could, and rebooted. While
