FreeBSD stuck during the boot process.

2013-09-17 Thread Atar
Hi there!!

When I try to boot FreeBSD from a USB stick, it stuck during the boot process. 
But if I boot it in safe mode, it succeeds to boot. How can I figure out what's 
wrong with the standard boot process? I can't even log the boot messages since 
the computer stuck and not respond.

Thanks in advance!!

Atar.

You could try a verbose boot (equivalent: boot -v) and see _when_
the system stops resonding. It would help to post the error message
(last lines of console output) to the list to get a better impression
about what's happening.

If I remember correctly, safe mode refers to the mode with ACPI
disabled, right? In this case, it _could_ be an ACPI problem (a really
wild guess, as you have provided no information about the system you
are trying to boot FreeBSD on).

 Yes, you remember correctly, safe mode disable the ACPI support
 automatically.

The problem may also be that USB devices take a long time to settle.
I suggest these in your /boot/loader.conf

hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
kern.cam.boot_delay=1
kern.cam.scsi_delay=2000

The CAM boot delay is needed for USB booting on some of my machines,
esp. Soekris boxes.  10 seconds is safe.

Thanks for replying!!

I think it's a problem in the ACPI system because when I disable ACPI, it  
boot successfully even without choosing safe mode.


But what that is strange here, is that Microsoft Windows and Linux  
(Debian) are able to boot with ACPI enabled. furthermore, some days ago  
FreeBSD itself succeeded to boot also with ACPI support enabled.


As for the error messages, there's not a particular error message. it  
simply stuck during the initialization of the PCI bus.


Here are the last eight lines:


pcib2: ACPI PCI-PCI bridge at device 30.0 on pci0
pcib2: domain   0
pcib2: secondary bus2
pcib2: subordinate bus  2
pcib2: no prefetched decode
pcib2 Subtractively decoded bridge.
pcib2: ACPI PCI bus on pcib2
pcib2: domain=0, physical bus=2

2013-07-23 Thread Wolfgang Riegler
Running poudriere with NO_LINUX=yes in poudriere.conf seems to work.

Because I using FreeBSD as a desktop system as well. I need some linux ports. 
Any chance for it?

thanks

It appeared again, without doing much stuff but I can get these message

Let see if the 310.19 version will clear the problem, by the way why 
this version is not in the ports yet, because of the ports freeze?

 You can try to reproduce the problem if you have /usr/ports/shells/bash

 bash).
 Create temporary test file with command: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/file1
 bs=1k count=10

 /usr/local/bin/bash -c 'cat /tmp/file1 | tee (/sbin/sha256

I could reproduce it on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 on 3rd try, but after upgrade
of bash-4.1.11 to bash-4.2.37 it works (tested 30 times).

For starters, what version of Bash? FreeBSD is still a few patches
behind the current patch level, so that is also a possibility.

I would suggest you visit:
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash, subscribe to the
list and then ask your question bug-b...@gnu.org.

It maybe couldn't gather more randomness from /dev/random?

'kern.random.sys.seeded'.
So in fact - when you think the command gets stuck - it's
probably not bash related at all.

Thanks for your answer, but randomly generated file is created fine (it is
only for illustrative purpose). As far as I understand, thing that blocks
is tee inside bash command or pipeline.

Sometimes, Xorg got stuck but I can't reproduce it always. When it 
appears, Xorg just stop being usable and mouse / keyboard can't be used 
also, switching to tty does not work at all and the screen is frozen.


But I still can use ssh to connect the broken host and shutdown it 
normally, Xorg will use 100% of CPU when it breaks like this.


I noticed this message when it appears :

EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

I'm using the nvidia nvidia-driver-304.64 on FreeBSD 9.1-RC3

Cheers,

Combining netcat with fifos results in stuck queues/sbwait

2012-09-03 Thread Wayne Sierke
I was hoping to establish a simple processing server using nc(1). After
finding numerous examples of combining netcat with fifos (named pipes) I
am unable to establish a reliable setup. E.g. following the example of
the canonical netcat server:

server:

#mkfifo backpipe
#nc -l 4242  backpipe | tr -u [:lower:] [:upper:] 
backpipe

client:

#mkfifo frontpipe
#nc localhost 4242  frontpipe  testfile.out 
#cat testfile.in  frontpipe

For any non-trivially small testfile I inevitably end up with the
processes at both ends stuck in sbwait.

I have managed to avoid the stuck condition by setting the TCP buffer
sizes at both ends:

nc -I 2048 -O 1024

with a resulting throughput of ~40kB/s (and a supplementary problem of
truncation).

There are other oddities, such as not using the fifo on the client end:

#nc -I 2048 -O 1024 localhost 4242  testfile.in  testfile.out


also results in stuck processes.

So far I've tried on 8.2/8.3 i386 and amd64. The full implementation is
planned to use fifos for input and output along with fd redirection but
attempts using that have fared no better.

Can anyone provide a secret-sauce recipe for netcat/fifo success?


Thanks,

Wayne

msk0 NIC getting stuck

2011-11-22 Thread Jukka A. Ukkonen

Greetings all,

Has anyone seen similar problems as this...


Nov 22 14:49:49 sleipnir kernel: msk0: watchdog timeout
Nov 22 14:49:49 sleipnir kernel: msk0: prefetch unit stuck?
Nov 22 14:49:49 sleipnir kernel: msk0: initialization failed: no memory for Rx b
uffers


The NIC freezes completely and will not return to sanity with
ifconfig msk0 down and ifconfig msk0 up.

The environment this happens on is
FreeBSD sleipnir 9.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Nov 20 17:34:27
EET 2011 root@sleipnir:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Sleipnir  amd64

The same thing happens with the GENERIC kernel as well as with my
locally compiled kernel. The only difference in the kernels is that
the locally compiled one supports 4 fibs.

The hardware is a Supermicro H8DCL-6F motherboard with 2 AMD 4162EE CPUs
and 16GB of memory.
All of the file systems are mirrored on top of GUID partitions.
Most of them are UFS2+SU on top of gmirror and one ZFS on top of zpool
mirror.

Thanks Boris.  You are a life saver.  Hopefully the Handbook will be  
updated.  The current one has the following:


  Acquire the Memory Stick Image

just for information
  The memory stick image can be downloaded from the ISO-IMAGES/ directory
  from
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arch/arch/ISO-IMAGES/version/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-arch-memstick.img.
  Replace arch and version with the architecture and the version number
  which you want to install, respectively. For example, the memory stick
  images for FreeBSD/i386 9.0-RELEASE are available from
   
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img.

ot :stuck in GRUB

2011-09-27 Thread Jean-Paul Natola

Hi all,


A Friend of mine has some version of either *nux or bsd installed (he does not 
even know for sure), turns out he clicked yes for some updates to install and 
upon restarting  he now winds up at GRUB , I told him to type boot and it 
reports  kernel must loaded prior to booting

I really have no  time to get out there, so he shipped me his hard  drive which 
I should be receiving today or tomorrow. It *seems* to me  the update may have 
corrupted some type of conf file, am I on the right track here? Does anyone 
have any suggestion, since its an old friend I can't charge him, but nor do I 
want to spend a significant amount of time on it.

GRUB is the boot program for several versions of Linux, not for FreeBSD.

For a useful answer, ask where Linux weenies hang out, not here.

Or even better, just google for the text of the error message.

But many people also use it to boot FreeBSD in multi-boot situations. 
The pkg-message in sysutils/grub and sysutils/grub2 might help.

Start with this:

du -x / | sort -nr | head -n 30

This will give you the largest directories; if any of them
don't look right - investigate further.
(For comparison: the root directory on this machine is 2
gbytes, of which I use 1.1.  10 gbytes is a lot of space.)

To fix your booting, I suggest that you check that /boot/kernel.old exists:

# [ -d /boot/kernel ]  echo Yes!

If this doesn't say Yes! then stop, and wait for someone to help you
out a little more.

If it does:

# /bin/mv /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.faulty
# /bin/mv /boot/kernel.old /boot/kernel
# reboot

That should get you back up until you can fix your other problems!

 sysinstalls recommended sizes for the root partion, which is around 
 10G. 

Where is it advised to make / 10 GB? Do you have any other
functional parts that get their own partition traditionally
(such as /tmp, /var, /usr) on the / partition?

The installation process should not make the system bigger,
as updating the system usually keeps nearly the same sizes.
An exception is the kernel: Here, a backup of the previous
kernel will be generated.

On a partition / with 10 GB capacity and at least 1 GB free
you should not run into problems. Kernel and modules should
not grow bigger than that.



 Anyway, when I rebooted, the system rebooted into single user 
 mode, and that is presently where I stand.  I have no idea how to 
 proceed at this point, and would appreciate any help in fixing this. 

You could try to mount the partitions via

# mount -a
# exit

and bring up the system in multi-user mode, if possible.
You can try to make sure there is sufficient space on the
/ partition to repeat the system and kernel installation
procedure.

Make sure you read the comment section of /usr/src/Makefile
which gives a very good roadmap of how to properly perform
an update.



 Of 
 course, I smell a newbie type error in all of this, but haven't quite 
 figured out where I went wrong.

If you can provide command output. You can use the program
script to make a copy of all terminal input/output to a
file.

Remove all the *.symbols files (if you're not going

Build with makeoptions DEBUG=-g commented out

I have INSTALL_NODEBUG=yes in my make.conf, which someone on this list
advised.  Apparently that still builds the symbols but doesn't install
them in /boot/kernel, saving a ton of space.  This will prevent you
running into this same problem the next time you build.

For a current FreeBSD system, this is a bit too small
(although sufficient under certain circumstances).
Making / 1G or 2G should be fully sufficient in all
cases.



 When I ran your command I noticed the /boot/kernel.old was very

The .old file is a backup of the previous kernel, this
backup is created automatically when you make installkernel.



 This was an intuitive 
 move, and probably not that kosher, but it worked. 

It simply removes the ability to boot the old kernel, which
doesn't seem to be a problem here.



 But where do we go 
 from here?

Check your kernel configuration (remove symbols), maybe
remove building of modules you don't need (see man src.conf
for details), repeat the installation procedure outlined
in /usr/src/Makefile (comment section at the beginning).

You should then end up with a fully functional updated system.

Just for reference, I was able to use the steps below to recover the data of 
the zpool that was stuck. The steps below were done using virtual machines. 
The zpool history command was a great help as well.

a) Created a FreeBSD 9.0 system and applied a ZFS v28 patch for a few features 
that looked useful for my problem.

i) Ability to mount zpool in readonly

ii) Ability to mount zpool with -N (do not mount datasets)

iii) Ability to mount zpool with -T to specify a particular transaction set. 
In the end I didn't need this feature.

b) Took an image of one of the mirror partitions housing the zpool using dd 
and transferred that to a file on a stand UFS2 file system. This was so I could 
work on a copy and transfer the data on an external hard disk to the FreeBSD 
9.0 virtual machine.

c) Used mdconfig to mount the file image on the FreeBSD 9.0 system.

d) I was able to use zpool import -o readonly=on -N poolname

The readonly option in particular seemed to stop the last transaction 
continually attempting to run in an endless loop.

e) I could then see the datasets. From here I was able to mount them and 
recover all the data.

zpool won't mount as dataset stuck

2010-11-27 Thread Geoff Roberts


Hi,

In a slight panic here as my main ZFS pool tank won't mount.

I have two ZFS pools on two different drives - a system pool on a  
single disk called data and a mirrored pool on two disks called  
tank.


The tank zpool contains all my jails and non-system boot type data.

I was wanting to test FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE and therefore took a  
snapshot of data and tank:


zfs snapshot -r d...@pre82
zfs snapshot -r t...@pre82

tank seemed to hang on the above command for ages and I had to Ctrl-C.

Long and short is I can see the tank zpool without a problem, but  
whenever I try to import it the disk light flashes every second and  
the datasets won't mount.


I can run a history command on tank and that shows the following  
repeated every second (tgx keeps incrementing by one):


2010-11-28.15:08:33 [internal rollback txg:9645688] dataset = 222  
[user root on systemname.com]
2010-11-28.15:08:34 [internal rollback txg:9645689] dataset = 222  
[user root on systemname.com]



The zpool seems to be stuck.

What should I do from here?

Is there a way to freeze dataset operations so I can at least mount them?

Other thoughts and questions I had:

a) What would be the best way to take a raw image of the zpool so I  
can work on a copy of the zpool rather than the original?


b) Would it be worth trying to import the zpool on FreeBSD current or  
OpenSolaris?


Any help greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Geoff

 thank you very much for your reply, it does seem to be the same type
 of bug.  However, and I apologize for being dense here, it is not
 immediate to me how to proceed practically to apply the patch from
 within the ports framework.  Also, I still wonder why the patch hasn't
 been incorporated in the tree given that the bug is known

 I am not able to answer your final question - that is left to the ports
 maintainers to address.

 I simply installed the latest (was it 1.7.5) xorg-server at that time
 and added those half dozen patches.  If 1.7.7 solved the problem, then
 I'm not sure what issue(s) you have.  If you want to have FreeBSD ports
 upgraded, I would contact the port's maintainers directly.

 I chose not to install xorg-server 1.7.7 since I was unsure if there
 were other dependencies or issues that might arise from doing so.  I'm
 not used to patching a mature, released port, so for me even that was
 a leap of faith!  :-)

 Just for clarity, I did not formally patch this port (xorg-server).
 I went into the directory tree beneath the work directory, found the
 dit/events.c file, and made those above mentioned (about six or so)
 small source code patches.  I then re-made the port and re-installed
 the port.  After it tested successfully, I reported my results to the
 -questions list in case it would help others.  YMMV.  And good luck!

Xorg 7.5 and OpenMotif: mouse stuck in box

Dear all,

I am resending this because it seems to me a really critical bug
(prevents you from using OpenMotif or lesstif applications), but
apparently nothing has been changed since last july.  Upgrading xorg
to 1.7.7 does fix the problem, but I wonder if this may cause
dependency problems in the ports tree.  Also, if this is the correct
fix, is there a reason why it hasn't been integrated in the ports yet?

thanks again

giuseppe




I am having a problem with xorg 1.7.5 and OpenMotif resulting in the
mouse being stuck in certain areas of the Motif windows that are
supposed to open dialog boxes when right-clicked.  I noticed that
somebody else reported the problem already in this list, and that it
seems to have been fixed in xorg 1.7.7.  However xorg 1.7.7 is not yet
available in the ports tree, nor it looks like a patch is in for the
current version (I tried to recompile xorg today after a port tree
update).  Is manually compiling Xorg the only solution right now?

thanks in advance for any advice

Subject: serious (for me) Xorg 7.5 mouse/kbd problem in 8.1-STABLE

For years I have run Open-Motif on FreeBSD without issue.

I use a USB keyboard and a USB three button mouse attached to a Dell
Optiplex 960.  This combination has worked fine for the past year.

This week I upgraded from 8.0-STABLE circa January 2010 to 8.1-STABLE.
I do this by doing a buildworld/installworld sequence after csup-ing
stable-supfile and rebooting.  In this case I also pkg_deleted all of
my ports and am rebuilding them from source.  Building Xorg is one of
the very first ports I attempt since I prefer to work in xterms not
virtual terminals.

This upgrade moved me from Xorg 7.3 to Xorg 7.5, but Open-Motif stayed
the same - open-motif-2.2.3_6 - it hasn't changed in years.

After building Xorg, as root, I ran the Xorg -configure command to
generate my xorg.conf.new file.  Since a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file was still around after the upgrade from 8.0-STABLE/Xorg 7.3, I
felt no need to change anything in that file (later file comparisons
confirmed that nothing had changed).

My only relevant additions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf are these:

   Section ServerFlags
Option  AutoAddDevices off
Option  DontZap false
   EndSection

In my /etc/rc.conf file I have dbus and hald enabled, and that has
not changed since the beginning of 2010 after the confusion abated.

As a normal user, I start Xorg using /usr/local/bin/xinit as always.
I have several xterms configured in my ~/.xinitrc file.  All those
came up in the correct location and state.  I was able to open those

Dear William,

thank you very much for your reply, it does seem to be the same type
of bug.  However, and I apologize for being dense here, it is not
immediate to me how to proceed practically to apply the patch from
within the ports framework.  Also, I still wonder why the patch hasn't
been incorporated in the tree given that the bug is known

thanks again

 I am having a problem with xorg 1.7.5 and OpenMotif resulting in the
 mouse being stuck in certain areas of the Motif windows that are
 supposed to open dialog boxes when right-clicked.  I noticed that
 somebody else reported the problem already in this list, and that it
 seems to have been fixed in xorg 1.7.7.  However xorg 1.7.7 is not yet
 available in the ports tree, nor it looks like a patch is in for the
 current version (I tried to recompile xorg today after a port tree
 update).  Is manually compiling Xorg the only solution right now?

 thanks in advance for any advice

 This is what I found recently.  Hope this helps you.

 Subject: serious (for me) Xorg 7.5 mouse/kbd problem in 8.1-STABLE

 For years I have run Open-Motif on FreeBSD without issue.

 I use a USB keyboard and a USB three button mouse attached to a Dell
 Optiplex 960.  This combination has worked fine for the past year.

 This week I upgraded from 8.0-STABLE circa January 2010 to 8.1-STABLE.
 I do this by doing a buildworld/installworld sequence after csup-ing
 stable-supfile and rebooting.  In this case I also pkg_deleted all of
 my ports and am rebuilding them from source.  Building Xorg is one of
 the very first ports I attempt since I prefer to work in xterms not
 virtual terminals.

 This upgrade moved me from Xorg 7.3 to Xorg 7.5, but Open-Motif stayed
 the same - open-motif-2.2.3_6 - it hasn't changed in years.

 After building Xorg, as root, I ran the Xorg -configure command to
 generate my xorg.conf.new file.  Since a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 file was still around after the upgrade from 8.0-STABLE/Xorg 7.3, I
 felt no need to change anything in that file (later file comparisons
 confirmed that nothing had changed).

 My only relevant additions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf are these:

   Section ServerFlags
        Option  AutoAddDevices off
        Option  DontZap false
   EndSection

 In my /etc/rc.conf file I have dbus and hald enabled, and that has
 not changed since the beginning of 2010 after the confusion abated.

 As a normal user, I start Xorg using /usr/local/bin/xinit as always.
 I have several xterms configured in my ~/.xinitrc file.  All those
 came up in the correct location and state.  I was able to open those
 that started in iconic mode.  In an open/raised xterm I could enter
 carriage returns and see my shell prompt move down the window.  But
 when I tried to close/minimize an open/raised xterm, things failed.

 I use the following keyboard/mouse combination (configured in my
 .mwmrc file) to close (minimize) an xterm (and other applications):

   Shift   Btn3Click     window          f.minimize

 This is also unchanged for some years.  This particular setting has

I am not able to answer your final question - that is left to the ports
maintainers to address.

I simply installed the latest (was it 1.7.5) xorg-server at that time
and added those half dozen patches.  If 1.7.7 solved the problem, then
I'm not sure what issue(s) you have.  If you want to have FreeBSD ports
upgraded, I would contact the port's maintainers directly.

I chose not to install xorg-server 1.7.7 since I was unsure if there
were other dependencies or issues that might arise from doing so.  I'm
not used to patching a mature, released port, so for me even that was
a leap of faith!  :-)

Just for clarity, I did not formally patch this port (xorg-server).
I went into the directory tree beneath the work directory, found the
dit/events.c file, and made those above mentioned (about six or so)
small source code patches.  I then re-made the port and re-installed
the port.  After it tested successfully, I reported my results to the
-questions list in case it would help others.  YMMV.  And good luck!

Regards,

web...

Server cannot boot : mount root got stuck

2010-07-01 Thread dhaneshk k

Fellow FreeBSDians, 


 I am experiencing a problem with my FreeBSD server box. I can't  get the 
system up. when I boot the machine its boots asking for boot options, and going 
with the default boot option
This is an old freeBSD server box with FreeBSD-6.1

then its reaching  mount root 

after that nothing,   its  stuck on this  prompt  mount root

 mount root

I didn't do anything,  day before yesterday its working.. 
Yesterday when I tried to login from my desktop ,  it not allowing  me to login 
through my ssh keys
 so I checked physically the server and connected a monitor, seeing   the   
boot splash image is garbled with some alphabetic characters.. and tried to 
reboot, hardware reboot.
But  it reaching the boot splash image of FreeBSD with   boot options  
displayed, but what ever boot option I select , it not going further, but 
reboots again to the boot splash image screen.

Today morning  I just took its hard disk and connected to another box having 
same specs
Then I started the box, with the harddisk  of my server ...,  then it going 
after the boot, so I thought issues over...

But my bad, this time  it comes to a  prompt  mount root  and stuck there..

No key board inputs works  in   mount root  prompt


Any hints to recover this  issue,  most appreciated, and this is a  production 
server , and I want it up as early as possible.

Thanks in Advance

When you moved the disk to the other server, the device name

 No key board inputs works in mount root prompt

Odd. Are you using a USB keyboard?

gnome install: stuck

2010-03-07 Thread n dhert
Laptop with Freebsd 8.0, with gnome installed and
gdm_enable=YES
gnome_enable=YES
in /etc/rc.conf, no changes to /etc/ttys (that is: ttyv8 ... xdm off)
After reboot, system starts in gnome, gives a greenish background,
a taskbar at the bottom, with only date/time, a button for 'Universal
access preferences'  and an icon for the battery.
In the desktop a grey window with 2 buttons labeled 'Restart' and
'Shutdown'.
Clicking either of them makes them be blueish for the time the mouse
button in pressed, but nothing happens.
I am stuck in Gnome. Why and how to solve it ?

(I can only do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the command prompt, but even that
I have to do twice: the first time it gives a flickering almost entirely
black
screen with at the top some half line of flickering ascii characters (can't
read), doing a Ctrl-Alt-F9 (back to gnome) and again Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives me a
stable login: prompt.)

Re: gnome install: stuck

 I am stuck in Gnome. Why and how to solve it ?

 (I can only do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the command prompt, but even that
 I have to do twice: the first time it gives a flickering almost entirely
 black
 screen with at the top some half line of flickering ascii characters (can't
 read), doing a Ctrl-Alt-F9 (back to gnome) and again Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives me a
 stable login: prompt.)


Sounds like you are in GDM, not gnome.  There's probably a login button
somewhere, you need to authenticate with the system then you'll be logged
into the desktop.  Also, it's just Alt-F9 to return to the graphical
display, ctrl not needed there.

If you have an AMD CPU of a recent generation, Try adding

vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled=0

to /boot/loader.conf and rebooting. This disables Superpages - there is 
a CPU bug on some of those.

Hard tellin'.  When you tried to install from scratch, did you keep the same
partitions and not force a newfs?  When you rebooted, did you reboot into
single-user?

The steps that have never failed me are close to what you have:
   - csup
   - env -i make buildworld
   - env -i make buildkernel
   - env -i make installkernel
   - reboot into single user
   - mount -a
   - mergemaster -paU
   - make installworld
   - mergemaster -aU
   - reboot

Perhaps try a re-install but fiddle a bit with the partition sizes and/or
force a newfs of the partitions.  Also, at the install step where you select
the entire drive (assuming this is what you are doing), you can delete what's
there and re-select use the entire drive.  That also forces newfs'ing.

YMMV

I'm running FreeBSD AMD64 7.1-p4 After the server experienced a DoS attack,

Is this a bug or something else is wrong, how would I troubleshoot this?

I experienced similar behaviour recently when i had built kernel+userland
with -fomit-frame-pointer.

I ended up doing a repair from an install CD, and rebuilding kernel+world
without -fomit-frame-pointer afterwards.

Your init is probably broken.

7.2 system stuck trying at boot, trying to mount root device

2009-06-24 Thread Forrest Aldrich
I'm running a modest PC that has FreeBSD-7.2 installed (fairly current 
build from CVS).


Today, I did a shutdown -r to reboot the system.   When it returned, 
the console is reporting:


Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a

I've gone through and restored the boot loader, this works fine (it's 
back to F1 or F2) -- it continues to do this.


I also did a proper mount, fsck, and umount under the LiveFS shell, 
which made no difference.


Then I tried a modest binary upgrade just in case.  No luck.

After Googling around, and not finding much more info than what I did, I 
figured I would ask here.   If I have to, I can ship off the data to 
another system (after I rebuild) and try to bring all it's functions 
back (but it's a lot, cyrus, etc).


The other messages I see on the console include GEOM output:

GEOM_LABEL:  Label for provider ad4s1a is ufsid/blahblah

then

GEOM_LABEL: Label for ufsid/blahblah removed.

Anyone know how I can rescue this?

How to reset a connection stuck in CLOSE_WAIT state

2009-06-03 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi,

I am runnig FlexNet license manager on FreeBSD (6.4), this is alinux
application, but it is running smoothly.

The problem occurs sometime at stop time, it will not stop cleanly and
leave a connection in CLOSE_WAIT state. As a result, the ports are not
freed and the license managerserver cannot restart.

Is there a simple way to force reset the hanging connection?

Best regards,

Olivier

/usr/sbin/tcpdrop maybe?

Not sure it would reset/kill the connection immediately though.
You'll have to try it.

I think tcpdrop(8) can handle that.

firefox3 gets stuck/freezing for 30 seconds every 30 seconds

2009-04-16 Thread O. Hartmann
Since a week now my firefox3 got stuck and freezing for 30 seconds 
(approx.) every 30 seconds. I'm running a SMP box with FreeBSD 
8.0-CURRENT/amd64, OS is most recent.


I also recompiled firefox3, dbus, libX11 and xcb (maybe senseless since 
I do not know what causes the freezing/hungs), but without success. By 
the way, perl-5.10 is installed and every port has been recompiled 
depending on perl. So ... I'm floating like a dead man in the water. 
What can I do?

   Something like this happened to me. I have i386 CURRENT cvsup'ed
yesterday. Do you have flash support with nspluginwrapper ? Do you have
linux-f8 and compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 ? If both are true, please
try compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 and switch back to f4. With these
settings problems vanished in my case, may be they will work for you
too.

   Looks like linux 2.6.16 emulation has problems with flash9. Can anyone
confirm this ?

ultranav usb keyboard panics on bootup -- stuck

2009-01-29 Thread Craig Butler
Hi All

Anybody know how I work around the following panic ??

panic: ohci_add_done: addr 0x7fef1c30 not found
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 1s

I have just purchased a new Lenovo ultranav usb keyboard from .
(My old ibm ps/2 one died)

http://uk.insight.com/apps/productpresentation/index.php?product_id=LEN31P9304nbs_search=C%3D106%26S%3D1040%26lang%3Den-gb%26K%3D%26M%3DLEN

The panic is definitely happening because of the usb keyboard (with
integrated mouse), if I take it out and replace with a ps/2 counterpart
the computer boots up normally.

Regards

it's at /usr/sbin/named, BUT, /etc/rc.d/named has the location correct so
I'm not sure where anything is getting reference to /usr/local/sbin...

Have you changed named_program in either
/etc/rc.conf
or /etc/defaults/rc.conf ?
as a quick check,
for file in /etc/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf ; do grep -H 
named_program $file ; done


should return

/etc/defaults/rc.conf:named_program=/usr/sbin/named# path to 
named, if you want a different one.

OK - further developments! Got to the first reboot stage after running sh
freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install

First point to note: If you don't want a sudden panic attack, remember to
remove the non-bootable floppy disk from the drive.

Other than that, all has gone to plan and is working fine, other than named
which is failing - at a guess because I ended up with the original file
rather than the new file. Can anyone point me to where I can get me grubby
l'il mits on a clean named.conf from 7.0-RELEASE?

Hi Marc,

Very good - glad you got everything working!  You can pull the
named.conf directly from FreeBSD's CVSweb interface:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/etc/namedb/named.conf?rev=1.26.4.1;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=RELENG_7_0_0_RELEASE

I did similar recently, although I went from 6.2 to 6.3 then to 7 
(almost certainly not necessary though.)

Basicly, its saying the current version contains whatever it lists up to 
the

and the 7 release version has whatever is after the seperator, up to the

  7.0-RELEASE

and you need to edit it to say what you want it to be. If you have never 
modifed the file, just delete the current stuff and leave the 
7.0-RELEASE stuff. I have a very customised named.conf so i just said 
that whatever was fine and then restored it from backup after the 
upgrade was finished.

It's [apparently] expecting you to use vi to create a named.conf
that will work, and showing you the contents of both the old
named.conf and the one found in 7.0-RELEASE.  I'm not familiar
with freebsd-update (still using the old csup/buildworld routine)
but it sure look like mergemaster, more or less, except that
mergemaster not only allowed you to leave it until later and
do the merge by hand but also had a two-column diff with
a selector routine, so you could create a merged version
on-the-fly.

Is the box an important DNS server?  What happens if you just
save the file as is and try and come back to it later? (YMMV,
standard disclaimer, and all that).  if you've *never* edited
named.conf before, you'd probably be OK to just remove all the

Have left as is (for now). Finish the rest off tomorrow... The box runs WHM

If anything in original was modified, it was done by WHM/cPanel, not me...

Sockets stuck in CLOSED state...

2008-06-18 Thread Ali Niknam

Dear All,

Recently i've been upgrading some of my machines from FreeBSD 6.x amd64 
to FreeBSD 7.0 amd64.


After upgrading I noticed a weird error/bug. It seems that after several 
thousand TCP connections some seem to hang in 'CLOSED' state.


netstat -n gives:
...
tcp4  0   0  1.2.3.4.*  4.5.6.7.42149   CLOSED
tcp4  39  0  1.2.3.4.*  4.5.6.7.54103   CLOSED
tcp4  35  0  1.2.3.4.*  4.5.6.7.41718   CLOSED
tcp4  38  0  1.2.3.4.*  4.5.6.7.55618   CLOSED
tcp4  41  0  1.2.3.4.*  4.5.6.7.44230   CLOSED
tcp4  39  0  1.2.3.4.*  4.5.6.7.49439   CLOSED
...

These never go away; they gradually increase and increase until the 
application starts giving errors (probably because some socket or 
filedescriptor limit is reached). When the application is killed these 
entries disappear.


The application in question is a self written DNS server, multithreaded, 
and running fine for years without any troubles on both BSD 5.x as well 
as 6.x. Also 32bits as well as 64bits on 6.x.


Ofcourse that doesn't mean that the application is error free, however, 
after doing extensive testing I really can not find anything wrong with 
the application itself, so I'm thinking maybe there's a change somewhere 
that causes this? I know that tcp/network has been completely redone...


What basically happens in the application is this:
 - one main tcp thread runs an infinite while loop waiting for new 
connections to arrive
 - as soon as one arrives a new thread is spawned that handles the 
newly created stream

 - it reads some bytes, writes some bytes, then closes it
 - thread exits

What appears to happen is this: after the new thread is spawned it tries 
to read 2 bytes (DNS tcp length information). It gets back 0 bytes (EOF) 
and therefore closes the sockets and calls pthread_exit. However in 
netstat that same stream oftenly appears to have bytes 'stuck' in the in 
queue...


I really can't see how this can cause hanging sockets in 'CLOSED' state. 
Even if the incoming queue isnt read entirely a call to close should 
close it. Also I really can't find any documentation in netstat, or 
elsewhere, about the 'CLOSED' state...



Any help would greatly be appreciated!


Kind Regards,


Ali Niknam

do stupid thing - in your source add

#define socket TEST_SOCKET
#define connect TEST_CONNECT
#define bind TEST_BIND
#define listen TEST_LISTEN
all other network functions you use same way here!


and write one .c program where all these TEST_* functions are defined, 
doing the same as  original PLUS logging to file.


after a while (when you see this closed/unclosed connections) stop it and 
look at logs.



i'm almost sure you will notice where is a problem.

possibly threads implementation changed...

Thank you for the suggestions. I had considered that myself, however the 
server is doing about 300 DNS queries per second, so that's not easy to 
log. And even if it is logged you have sooo much information that it's 
nearly impossible to comprehend it.


The thing is that the problem does not occur always; the same ip can 
connect and do queries for thousands of times before 1 connection gets 
stuck.


To give you an idea: after about 24 hours (so that's about 26 million 
queries) I get about 10 stuck connections.

I can imagine; still, as far as I know, it should not be possible to be 
stuck in CLOSED...

Thanks to Steve, Dan and Andrew for offering suggestions for regaining 
access to my box!


I was finally able to mount / from the mountroot prompt using 
ufs:/dev/aacd0s1a (this is a Dell PowerEdge server with a SCSI RAID5 
array.) Fortunately, there was an /etc.old directory left over from the 
last patch level upgrade I did; that was enough to get the system 
booting normally so that I could copy back the former /etc directory 
that I had moved at the start of this whole fiasco.


I think I will start retaining electronic and hard-copy fstab files from 
my FreeBSD boxes for future reference, as Steve suggested in a later 
message.

Tried to symlink /etc to another disk, now stuck

2008-06-12 Thread Glenn Gillis
I think I did just about the worst thing I could do to my
organization's FreeBSD-4.11 email server today:

I was trying to free up space on the root disk and attempted to copy
the /etc directory to another disk, /new/etc, then delete and symlink
the old location to the new:

  $ sudo cp -Rp /etc /new/etc
  $ sudo rm -rd /etc/; sudo ln -s /new/etc /etc

Of course, with the sudoers file in the original /etc directory, the
first sudo command to remove the /etc directory disabled the second
sudo command's ability to run.

Now, I cannot log in as a privileged user to copy or move /new/etc
back to /etc. (Because the password files were also in /etc.) I've
tried booting into Single User mode with boot -s at the boot prompt,
only to receive a mountroot prompt wanting to know where to find
the root filesystem. I've also tried booting from my installation
distribution, but can't get out of the installation without the
machine rebooting.

To make a long story shorter, is there any hope for getting a
privileged user account on this machine to move /etc back to where it
should be?

What type of disk(s) do you have in the box?

I can't remember the exact syntax of the mountroot prompt, but I'll 
break one of my machines here to 'remind' myself if you know what driver 
 you use for your root partition.


ad (IDE)
ar (RAID)
da (SCSI)

...etc.

It may be easiest to boot a live CD (FreeSBIE, or a FreeBSD-7 install
disc 1 should work), mount both of your hard drives from it, and put
/etc back where it belongs that way.

This is a very good point, but in this case, if its only /etc that has 
been relocated, the system is at mountroot because fstab can't be found.


If the disk type is known, it is as simple as typing the appropriate 
location of the root fs at that prompt and the system will come up. 
Under single user, the OP would have full access to everything to revert 
the changes (perhaps other disk areas with binaries may have to be 
mounted manually as well)...


I'm off to try it. I've got a system here with a da device. I'll fsck up 
/etc/fstab, reboot, and report back with the appropriate mountroot 
prompt entry...
