freebsd 6.4 -> 7.3 upgrade failure, ports openssl, and libz.so.3 versus libz.so.4
Hi, I am upgrading a system from freebsd 6.4 to freebsd 7.3 from source. On this system, the ports openssl package has been installed. With the make buildworld, the compilation of sendmail fails with the message: /usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/bin/ld: warning: libz.so.3, needed by /usr/local/lib/libssl.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) Problem is that the new kernel is expecting (or compiling the sources against) libz.so.4 (/usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libz/libz.so.4). libz.so.3 is available in /lib/libz.so.3 (FreeBSD 6.4). Is there any way to break this dependency, such that the make buildworld completes successfully? It is openssl from ports depending on libz.so.3 of FreeBSD 6.4, sendmail is compiled with openssl from ports for FreeBSD 7.3, which provides libz.so.4... The upgrade path 6.4 -> 7.3 with ports openssl is probably not unique, others will have a similar upgrade path. Can I specify something (/etc/make.conf?) such that 'make buildworld' makes use of base openssl and not ports openssl? Or should I uninstall ports openssl (and recompile half of my ports, and later again recompile all for freebsd 7.3)? Any suggestions are welcome.

Is it safe to increase / double kern.maxvnodes under FreeBSD 6.4 i386?
Hi, We had some issues at the weekend that left one of our machines with a very, very large sendmail queue... While we were trying to sort it out we noticed the machine takes over 4 minutes to go through the queue (i.e. 'mailq'). I noticed the machine was hovering around the maxvnode limit - so I upped it. The 'sweet spot' appears to be: sysctl -w kern.maxvnodes=25 That cuts the time to run a mailq from over four minutes down to 12 seconds. The machine has 2Gb of RAM, and is 'moderately' loaded (normally) - is it wise to leave that setting at 250,000 - or is it likely to cause other issues (i.e. kernel memory issues) - is there any metric I can look at / check to see if we can get away with leaving it that high? The only stuff I can seem to find on the 'net mostly concerns upping it under amd64 as that uses a different mapping method for vnodes - I can't seem to find anything that covers increasing it that much (2.5 * the default of 100,000) under i386. As it obviously makes a huge difference for us, I'd love to leave it in place - but don't want to risk anything drastic like a panic.

For future reference, while upgrading via sysinstall is possible, it's best to use something like freebsd-update, which is included in base. I can't recall off the top of my head if upgrading via sysinstall moves the kernel to kernel.old or not. Good luck with that. You may be best off using livefs and trying to repair with that. -- randi ___ 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"

FreeBSD (6.4/7.0/7.2) guest OS bootloader not being loaded in Linux KVM. (Ubuntu 9.04)
Hey all, I've been tasked with installing a KVM machine for a customer. My problem comes with me wanting to install FreeBSD as a guest in KVM. The installer works fine but as soon as I start the VM after the installation, the bootloader hangs, sometimes showing one character and other times it doesn't show anything. Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds. Is there any place I can check for debug logs. I use libvert to install and manage my VMs and I installed my VM like this: # virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n freebsd64test -r 1024 -f / data/virtual_machines/freebsd64test.qcow2 -s 10 -c 6.4-RELEASE-amd64- disc1.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type=unix --os-variant=freebsd6 -- network=bridge:br0 --hvm I also tried without the --hvm flag and with FreeBSD 7.2 and 7.0. The Ubuntu server is a fully up-to-date 9.04 machine. Linux 2.6.28-13-server #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:56:18 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Has anyone else had this problem and/or know a way to fix it.

It's a very simple pf.rules with no block rules. Main purpose to map vpn
user to dedicated public IP.
It was working great the last few months but lately it has been giving a
terrible performance after a few hours of running the servers. SSH is not
accessible, traffic and routing is very slow.
Is the anything wrong with above configuration or 6.4 kernel with regards to
PF and OpenVPN?
The servers are not having any custom setting sysctl.conf or loader.conf or
rc.conf except the enabling openvpn, firewall and sshd.
Restarting sshd will provide remote access again or rebooting the server. Is
there any known memory leaked for pf in this configuration? Is there a
better and efficient way of doing this in PF or is it better to use ipfw?
When this happen (no ssh), all ping to the alias IPs resulted in timeout.
Only the main IP will respond.
Server RAM is 1GB and during this issue, top shows

Problem configuring X: FreeBSD 6.4, Intel video card, Fujitsu lifebook
Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 6.4 on a Fujitsu lifebook. I'm quite new to FreeBSD (see previous post "Introduction"). Some time ago, I had bought (and partially read) Michael Urban's "FreeBSD 6 Unleashed". I just worked through the initial chapters, and managed installing FreeBSD and configuring X just fine. Only I ran into trouble installing a desktop environment, since building gnome2-lite failed. I thought before doing anything, I'd get a more recent set of FreeBSD install discs, since the book includes 6.1, which seems a bit outdated. Now I did an install using a set of 6.4 install discs. Everything ran fine, except I can't get X to work anymore. Configuration: # Xorg -configure # mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf And then test: # startx X crashes with the following error message: Fatal server error: Couldn't find PLL settings for mode! I googled about this and found a few results... on the Ubuntu 8.10 bugtracker. Apparently the 'intel' video driver has some problems with my specific Intel video card. What now? Try to use the older 'i810' instead of 'intel'? But how would I do that? Simply replacing the corresponding "Driver" line in xorg.conf doesn't help. Any suggestions?
