Wouldn't the lockf command be better than touch? That way you get the condition code telling you whether or not the script is already running. Yes, it would probably be better in this case. This, in combination with the suggestion of test-t 0 to check if the script has been interactively called or not, looks like a better solution. However, the intial question does not make fully sure (at least to me as a non-native speaker) if the intention is (a) to check _if_ the script has been run via cron, or (b) to check if the script has been run via _cron_. :-) Of course you would have to manually remove that file after you have verified its existence and content. If you use lockf as a drop-in replacement for touch then, yes, you'll need to keep the lock file until removing it at the end of the script. Depends. Let's say the script is scheduled at 3:00 and will finish in about half an hour. The evidence file will only be visible from 3:00 to ca. 3:30, so removing the evidence file after the script has finished could lead to a false-negative result (has not been run). This is also true for the more simple solution using the touch command (no rm call at the end of the script). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Abstraction leakage burning test DVD+R
Hello, After my dump/restore test failed back in May of 2010[1], I finally got around to burning a test DVD after installing about 2.5 inches of semi-rigid foam under the machine to dampen any local vibration. In designing the test, I was under the mistaken impression that buffer under-runs would reduce the amount of space for writing. Apparently, DVD+R media supports loss-less linking[2]. Test Procedure (using ATAPI interface, rather than the newer ATAPI/CAM interface). The man pages do not imply any major differences for this test. The drive in question is a LG drive with the SuperMulti logo. Test procedure: 1.# mkfifo auxout aux45G 2. In other terminals: # cat auxout | md5 # dd if=aux45G count=2197266 bs=2048 | md5 3. Write test disk: # dd if=/dev/urandom bs=2048 count=2295104 | \ tee auxout aux45G | dd of=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 Error: dd:/dev/acd0: Input/output error 679+0 records in 678+0 records out 1388544 bytes transferred in 80.97 seconds (step 4 not completed due to premature burn failure after 684 blocks, 80 seconds (from 'dd if=aux45G'...) (15743 bytes/sec)) Drive spun up at least twice during this time. 4. Read test (in another term 'cat aux45G | md5') # dd if=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 count=2295104 | tee aux45G | md5 Questions: Currently, the drive is locked. Before forcefully ejecting it and risking an new disk, I want to know what may have gone wrong. Was I expecting too much of FreeBSD on old hardware? The hardware is a Pentium-II desktop machine with 256MB of RAM, with a Promise ATA100 controller card. An extra-long 80-wire cable is in use (to ad4). acd0: DVDR HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GSA-H55N/1.03 at ata-1-master UDMA33 ad4: 78167MB Maxtor 6Y080L0 YAR41WB0 at ata-2-master UDMA100 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/home/test Wrote at 4485315 bytes/second: faster than I was expecting (based on linux's slow urandom function), but still slow enough to cause buffer under-runs. So the second question is: do I have to do anything special to enable buffer underrun protection? (with DVD+R's lossless linking feature, no data should be lost.) How important is running ATAPI/CAM? Obviously DVD burning was happening before the release of version 8, as far as I know. If running out of data is supposed to be abstracted away, did I find a bug that only shows up on old hardware or heavy load? (Or possibly drive firmware bug?)

Hello list, are there any emulators out there that can run the non-x86 versions of FreeBSD on a FreeBSD/i386 or FreeBSD/amd64 host? Such things, by definition, are a 'simulator', not an 'emulator'. They exist, they are *pricey* (think 5 figures, left of the decimal point) and they are =SLOW= (very, VERY slow!) compared to the real hardware. Okay, let it be a simulator then. ;) I don't care that they're slow (I know how emulators work under the hood). As I've used Bochs on SPARC back then to run x86 OS, it was slow too, but that didn't matter either. The only multiplatform simulators I've seen right now belong to the qemu family: /usr/local/bin/qemu /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-mipsel /usr/local/bin/qemu-img /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-cris /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppcemb /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-m68k /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-sh4 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-microblaze /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-sh4eb /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-mips /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-sparc /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-mips64 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-sparc64 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-mips64el /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 But they don't emulate enough of a real system to run the FreeBSD ports, AFAICT. That's why I'm asking for other (more specialized?) emulators/simulators. I'm especially interested in trying FreeBSD/sparc64 port, but I'd also like to test the FreeBSD/powerpc and the FreeBSD/arm ports on an emulator, before seeking real hardware. Pick up some low-end used hardware, it's _lots_ cheaper, and will give you a better feel for how it works.

It depends a bit on what you're trying to determine. If you're looking to test stability or performance, the results you get from an emulator are unlikely to have any real comparison to what you get on real hardware. Basically, I'm interested in assembly language programming on those platforms. So if they ran in an emulator, that would be ideal, but I wouldn't mind a couple of real hardware boxes if there's no software alternative. BTW, have you guys any experience with emulators/gxemul? It doesn't cover sparc but claims to implement a complete arm and powerpc machine, at least for the corresponding netbsd ports.

Are kernel stress test results displayed online?
Before one of the releases, I remember, kernel stress tests results were online. Now I can't find them. Are they run? (I guess they must be.) Particularly would be interesting to see tests for FreeBSD 8.1-RC2, FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE and FreeBSD-9.0. Also does stress test only cover kernel or device drivers as well?

The test source code is available, so you could run your own tests if you wanted. You could also look at the tests in /usr/src/tools/regression, or some of the benchmarks and tests in Ports. b. ___ 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

I just updated the kernel to RC2, if I get one more freeze I will rebuild and run it as debug. BTW are there instructions how to build debug kernel (8.1) ? Somehow googling building debug FreeBSD kernel doesn't fetch instructions for *debug* kernel, it only fetches instructions for just kernel which I do frequently. I know there should be WITNESS and DIAGNOSTIC options enabled, also coredumps should be enabled. But are there step by step instructions online? Also when the system freezes will it dump core?

dump/restore (to DVD+R) test failure
Hello, It took reading the source code of a backup front-end to figure out that incremental backups are not the same thing as multiple incremental backups on the same medium; spilling over to the next disk if necessary. As the handbook (section 18.12.1) says, dump has quirks due to its design dating back to 1975. Optical write-once media was punch tape or cards. Seeking to the middle of the media was time consuming, so daily tapes were simply written from the beginning, then rewound. So, knowing this, I decided to test a full dump and restore to DVD+R media, following the example in the dump(8) man page. I suspect that the example was written with DVD-R in mind, but according to wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R#Recordable_DVD_capacity_comparison the smaller DVD+R media can handle the example in dump(8) with 184 2048 byte blocks to spare (implying the example intended 3576 spare sectors). The package for the DVD media just says 4.7 GB with only 2 significant digits. I used the following command for the dump: $/sbin/dump -0u -L -C16 -B4589840 -P 'growisofs -Z -dvd-compat /dev/cd0=/dev/fd/0' /home Growisofs said 4700372992 bytes were written on the first disk (my notes don't record exactly which disk that was). That works out to 4590208kiB or 2295104 sectors. Edit: This matches the Wikipedia number; I assumed it to included zero padding I tried the restore on a fresh freeBSD 8.0 install with no user accounts created (and atapicam not yet enabled): dusty# cd /home #restore -r -P 'dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/fd/1 bs=2048 count=2294920' warning: ./.snap: File exists expected next file 706561, got 4 unknown tape header type -365754194 abort?

It appears the first disk lost 712 sectors of data (and a total of 896 sectors of capacity) with that read error. Should I just burn the disks 1024-4096 sectors short? 3. What is the best way to verify dumps at dump time? I still have the data on another disk. I can restore it with dd if need be.

You can use ftp or fetch from the base system to test downloads of some reasonably large files, and get a decent estimate of your bandwidth (or that of the server, depending on which is lower). However, the network-based tests from your ISP, speedtest.net, dslreports.com, etc including the tweak test often provide useful information about MTU, dropped packets, tweaking TCP window size, etc, so a browser-based test is a good approach.

But removing spaces around == or replacing == with = makes it to work.
Maybe those files are not intended to run on FreeBSD's standard
Bourne shell?
On Linux though this line works fine.
This may be due to the fact that on most Linusi, sh is bash.
On FreeBSD, sh is a different shell than bash; it's the
original Bourne shell.
Why spaces around == would cause failure?
First of al, refer to man test for the string operators. The
form == isn't mentioned there.
s1 = s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are identical.
s1 != s2 True if the strings s1 and s2 are not identical.
s1 s2 True if string s1 comes before s2 based on the binary value
of their characters.
s1 s2 True if string s1 comes after s2 based on the binary value
of their characters.
Furthermore, it's wise to enclose the variable names in curly
brackets when used in a compositum. Your statement
if test x$my_var == xyes; then
would correctly read as follows:
if test x${my_var} = xyes; then
You can of course use [ instead of test, so it would be
if [ x${my_var} = xyes ]; then
What
is the version of /bin/sh currently used in 7.2? Where is it taken
from? --version, -v, -version don't ever print version I guess due to
FreeBSD policy of not versioning individual utilities.
FreeBSD's Bourne shell does not have GNU long options such
as --version. According to the shell's manpage, -v is used
for verbosity, and -version isn't even defined. Refer to
man sh for more options.
The parts of the base system (as in opposite to Linux where no
real the OS does exist) usually have the version of the
release, but to be more precise, the individual version can be
obtained from the source code. It can be found in /usr/src/bin/sh.
For example, I have
@(#)main.c 8.6 (Berkeley) 5/28/95
$FreeBSD: src/bin/sh/main.c,v 1.29 2006/10/07 16:51:16 stefanf Exp $
in the source file main.c, and the Makefile indicates
@(#)Makefile8.4 (Berkeley) 5/5/95
$FreeBSD: src/bin/sh/Makefile,v 1.46 2006/04/17 17:55:11 schweikh Exp $
as its particular version number and date.
The manual man sh includes this statement:
The sh utility is the standard command interpreter for the system. The
current version of sh is in the process of being changed to conform with
the IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') specification for the shell. This ver-
sion has many features which make it appear similar in some respects to
the Korn shell, but it is not a Korn shell clone like pdksh. Only fea-
tures designated by POSIX, plus a few Berkeley extensions, are being
incorporated into this shell. This man page is not intended to be a
tutorial nor a complete specification of the shell.
as well as
This version of sh was rewritten in 1989 under the BSD license after the
Bourne shell from ATT System V Release 4 UNIX.
It's important, especially for interoperability, to declare
#/bin/sh only and ONLY if the script is for Bourne shell. If
you're using bash specifics, use #!/usr/local/bin/bash instead.
Keep in mind that you'll have to install bash (pkg_add -r bash)
in this case. A tidy way of coding, such as using the curly
brackets, is an important thing, too, as you can see. :-)

See the FreeBSD manpage, or the Posix docs: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/toc.htm. You need to use =. Certain Linux distributions use bash as /bin/sh, which shortcuts the test command internally and allows bash extensions, even in bourne-shell mode.

print test page - false negative
Just an anecdote to any of you who may be having trouble configuring printing: I installed FreeBSD 7.2 Release with CUPS and gutenprint-cups. The printer in question is an Epson Stylus Photo R280, which is supported by gutenprint. After configuring CUPS, including permissions for /dev/ulpt0, I could print; but the test page came out as garbage. In a moment of frustration, I tried to print the CUPS configuration window from the File menu in firefox..it worked! I then shutdown and left to see Star Trek before anything could go wrong. :-) I'll try to print from other applications later.

You must used crossed Ethernet cable between your FreeBSD bridge and each of your Linux boxes. As someone suggested, what is ifconfig saying on the FreeBSD box? You should see that both sk0 and sk1 have a status: active. Else it means you have a cable problem. An example of ifconfig for a bridge (FreeBSD 4.xx): fxp0: flags=89c3UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:07:e9:xx:xx:xx media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active fxp1: flags=89c3UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether 00:07:e9:yy:yy:yy media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active Once you make sure that both interfaces on your FreeBSD box are up and running, you can procced to the next step: On the FreeBSD box=2C you can tcpdump(8) and see the packets moving: tcpdump -i sk0 and tcpdump -i sk1 and you will see the pick request and ping echo packets. it says arp: who has 192.168.0.4 tell 192.168.0.5 You'd need to give more information about your connection; something like: Linux 192.168.0.4 --- sk0 FreeBSD sk1 --- Linux 192.168.0.5 And you should also specify if ou where tcpdump'ing on interface sk0 or sk1.

No. cron uses execvp, which will:
1) execute as binary if header is recognized
2) execute with whatever the she-bang says (#!)
3) run as /bin/sh /path/to/file if 1) and 2) fail.
Can't reproduce the error though, using:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
unset TERM
sleep 1;
if [ ! -t 0 ]; then
echo No term out
else
echo term out
fi
I run as:
daemon ./test.sh 2err
then logout the ssh session, so terminal becomes invalid. It correctly says
term and no term, no tput errors. Same for /bin/sh, by the way.

I am a little confused. I believe the problem is with the if [ ! -t 0 ]
statement. I tried to redirect the error message; however, it still appears in
the email sent by CRON. I tried using this statement instead: if ( ! tty -s
/dev/null ) and if ( ! tty -s ) /dev/null; however, they also produce an
error message although the function does work correctly. Is this just something
I should just ignore, or is there a way to stop the message from being sent in
the CRON report?

Bash is looking up the user's bash startup-scripts, and one of the
script commands assumes that it's running on a terminal.

On Sat, 7 Feb 2009, Omer Faruk Sen wrote: I have installed a new server to test performance results. BIOS and RAID BIOS is the latest in this server ( Raid controller is a Intel SRCSASBB8I ) Hi Omer-- Comparing I/O and file system performance is a bit fraught with peril, especially given that the performance of disks varies a great deal based on where on the disk you're writing, etc. Ellard and Seltzer have a nice NFS benchmarking paper that includes a Benchmarking traps section of note in this regard: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~margo/papers/freenix03/ The source of the performance difference you're seeing could come from a number of places: - I/O to different parts of the disk due to partition layouts can perform quite differently -- try out diskinfo -t to get an idea of the kind of variance you can see. For example, I get this on my local 3ware array: Transfer rates: outside: 102400 kbytes in 4.056540 sec =25243 kbytes/sec middle:102400 kbytes in 2.531003 sec =40458 kbytes/sec inside:102400 kbytes in 3.947725 sec =25939 kbytes/sec That's a massive performance difference and presumably entirely a result of disk layout. The best way to address this is to make sure you're using the same part of the disk for all tests -- so if you're installing different OS's on different partitions, use a single shared partition for the test. - File system can behave quite differently, especially if they vary in size and layout strategies. Do the dd(1) directly to a disk partition, making sure to use the right device on Linux (I believe you want the character device in order to bypass the buffer cache and compare apples to apples). So if you go ahead and do dd(1) directly to the same partition using unbuffered I/O and no file system, it should become more obvious as to whether we're looking at performance loss due to a device driver difference, a file system difference, or perhaps just a disk layout difference.

I think your best bet for comparisons like this is to use case. I started
doing that back in the days when '[' would start a separate program:
case $UID in
0) echo am root ;;
*) echo not root ;;
esac
I use test for things relating to file access:
die() {
echo $@ 2
exit 1
}
test -f /etc/passwd || die Your system is seriously hosed

bash versus sh test builtin
The -ne operator for [ in /bin/sh doesn't seem to work as in bash.

As to why your test isn't working as expected, rewrite your script to read: #!/bin/sh echo $UID and you'll discover that UID is a bash environmental variable. and how to write tests reasonably portably? That's a different question, and merits a much longer discussion probably better had elsewhere.
