 the list in the given order...
 
 Why this is done this way?

i can't remember the reason, but the question has been raised quite often.
try searching the archives. i think it had something to do with performance
or getting better disk locality, but i'm not sure. however people were argueing
whether copying the files in reverse order is really a benefit or not.

Ray  

 as yet. So I got two Intel interface cards that work in
 PCIe slots. Because of the hardware component situation
 on this motherboard  I cannot use the interfaces in PCIe lane
 one slots as on of these slots is blocked, physically, and the
 card will not fit. So I am using the two PCIe lane 16 slots.
 I modified rc.conf (see PS at bottom) to bring up the interfaces at
 boot.
 They both come up and running with network addressess
 assigned, as em0 an em1.
 The problem:
 I can ping em0 from local host and connect to ftp and ssh
 from the inside network, all is well
 I cannot ping em1.
 ifconfig shows it up and running, with no carrier, I.E. no
 network cable attached but I should be able to ping it
 from local host, yes? no? Yes.
 Here is the obvious question
 the order of interfaces listed by ifconfig is
 em0
 fwe0
 em1
 the question is:
 Is it possible that fwe is blocking em1?
 I have fwe0 down and took it out of
 rc.conf so it does not come up on boot
 but still shows up in this order with ifconfig.
 If this is possible, how do I tell the system to
 load fwe0 after em1 or not at all  to see if I can ping it successfully?
 copied from ifconfig output:
 em0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500

Ray

Thank you for the info. If you like to read, you can hack through my 
sob story:


I have gotten this reference in a query on this issue when I first 
assembled the board
and did not get the two interfaces to show up. I did retrieve the code 
from this link
but I decided against it for the time being. I have not worked with the 
kernel yet and
am trying to get this server up and running. It has been a real circus 
to date.


First I thought PCIe slots would use my 64 bit SCSI card, no way. I had 
to buy the
ASUS board because it was he only AMD64 board I could find with PCIx 
slots.

And because the ASUS board did not have a AMD 939 socket, I had to buy
another processor for AM2 socket and I had to then buy DDR2 memory 
because
the ASUS board required it. So I now have one Gigabyte motherboard and 
AMD64 939
processor and a Gb of DDR memory I cannot use. I then discovered the 
problem with

the onboard inet interfaces.

Now I am having serious trouble getting Apache 1.3.37 and php 5 to work 
together,
They won't because for some reason libphp5.so is not being produced 
when php is

configured, built and installed. That is another issue.

All I really would like to know at this point is how to get fwe0 to 
load in a different

order so I can eliminate that as a problem or solve it.

I am working on a very large php project and if I cannot get php to 
work with Apache

on this machine it is all in vain.

Yes I know about ports, and yes I have been greeted with disdain on 
this list because
I have been bypassing ports to install this stuff from source. I have 
done it successfully

on two other FreeBSD Machines with FBSD 6.0 Apache 1.3.34 and php 5.1.2.
On this machine I have FBSD 6.2, Apache 1.3.37 and have tried php5.2.1 
and 5.1.2
and have had the same problem. I am suspecting either the apxs script 
with Apache or
something in the FBSD install with make or autoconf. But I am not a 
computer scientist.


So now that I have bent your ear all the way around your head.
How do I tell FreeBSD to load interface drivers in a different order or 
is it really an issue?

Thanks
Jeff K

Actually, the variable ${gbde_devices-auto} in /etc/rc.d/gdbe is almost 
certainly a typo. I changed it to ${gbde_devices_auto}.

Additionally, one has to set
   gbde_lock_[device]=/path/to/lockfileor
   gbde_lockdir=/path/to/lockdir   [where the lockfile(s) must 
have the encrypted slice's name and a '.lock' extension

Having done this, i have a solution for mounting encrypted partition at 
boot, which seems perfectly clean to me. Wonderful.

Re: Order of installation for Apache, PHP, IMAP, and MySQL

Jose Borquez wrote:


I need to install and configure Apache, PHP, IMAP, and MySQL because

I need to know if there is a specific order that I need to install the

appreciated.


Thank you in advance,
Jose



Installing PHP (/usr/ports/lang/php$n) will pull in Apache 1.3 by 
default, and client libraries for IMAP support and MySQL support when 
you install (/usr/ports/lang/php$n-extensions).


I'm assuming though, that you mean an IMAP *server* and a MySQL 
*server*; in which case I'd do either of those first, and followup with 
PHP and php-extensions.


In any case, installing should be as simple as moving to the appropriate
directory under /usr/ports, and typing (as root) make install clean at
a command prompt.  Although it'll be boring, I'd suggest sitting in the
general vicinity of your terminal, as, if this is a fresh install, you
will be prompted for configuration by a curses mode options menu.

You can, however, get around this by doing all your config on the 
command-line; but that's a rather lengthy command string, and might

take almost as much time to discover all the perfect values for.

The good news:  should you desire to reinstall the apps, the
configuration should be saved for you.  See ports(7) for more
information.

Hi there, Barry...

If you're going to create separate partitions for /boot and /home, it 
seems that the following order would make sense:

/
/boot
swap
/var
/tmp
/usr
/home
HOWEVER, given that the default installation of FreeBSD seems to have 
/home as a link to /usr/home, I'd be highly reluctant to depart from 
that, and just keep the user home directories where they belong, in 
/usr/home.

Your mileage may vary.

Any way you like.  sysinstall(8) doesn't give you the option, but if
you use disklabel(8), other than the first three partitions -- da0s1a
(root), da0s1b (swap) and da0s1c (whole disk -- never used as such)
you can create partitions from da0s1d upto a maximum of da0s1h and
mount them as whatever filesystems you want.  Once you've got the root
and swap partitions sorted, how you lay out the rest makes little
difference.  There are minor gains to be made by placing the most
heavily used partitions towards the outer cylinders of the disk, but
that doesn't apply on RAID5 or RAID0 (striped) disk arrays, and the
amount gained hardly justifies the effort spent tweaking things.
Layout is more a matter of individual taste than anything.

Two points though:

   i) Don't put /boot on a separate partition.  /boot contains stuff
that is essential for booting the system, and as such *has* to be part
of the root filesystem.

  ii) It's not so much the order of creation of the partitions that
counts, but the order they lie across the drive. You don't even have
to make the b, d, e, f, g, h partitions lie in cylinder order,
although it would be perverse to shuffle them around arbitrarily.
Putting the root 'a' partition anywhere except starting at cylinder 1
is asking for trouble though -- this is one of those conventions that
practically has the force of law.

Cheers,

Matthew

Solved: Re: order in fstab and md/mfs (extra info)

2003-11-28 Thread Ronald Klop
Sorry,

I found out, that md wasn't loaded as a module and not compiled into the 
kernel.
MD_LOAD=YES in /boot/loader.conf fixed the problem.

Ronald.

Hello,

Today I noticed my mfs on /tmp not mounting properly, because of the

Mfs can't be mounted too early. Is this meant to be or should there be 
a second stage for this mount, just like nfs mounts which are deferred 
until after the network is up.

I saw it is documented in one line in 'man fstab', that order is 
important, but not many examples about this.

Running 5.2-BETA cvsupped today on P-II 400Mhz (UP), 256 MB, IDE.
It still fails with:
mfs: mdconfig (attach) exited with error code 1
Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed, startup aborted
Any hints? Same experiences?
