8.1-STABLE Unexpected XML: what does it mean?

2010-12-14 Thread Eugene Mitrofanov
Hi

I observe the very strange message while run a lot of commands:

r...@beaver:eugene# glabel status
Unexpected XML: name=stripesize data=18432
Unexpected XML: name=stripeoffset data=0
Unexpected XML: name=stripesize data=18432

r...@beaver:eugene# gmirror status
Unexpected XML: name=stripesize data=18432

gmirror: Command 'status' not available.

What subsystem prints them? How can I fix it?

Good luck

 Maybe you have a label or some other custom device name with non-ascii 
 characters or with characters which break xml parsing?

I'd hazard a guess that either your userland and kernel are out of sync or
something like that is taking place.
The messages come from libgeom and they mean it doesn't understand those 
stripe*
properties.

P.S.
geom@ is often the best mailing list for geom issues.

in port sysutils/hal there is an option

fixed_mountpoints=

Is the meaning of this option documented somewhere?

This option tells hal to use fixed names for /media mount points instead
of volume labels.  It should have no effect on being able to detect or
mount media.

First, it's g_vfs_done, not g_ufs_done -- precision and accuracy are 
usually important when reporting error messages.  In this case the 
important part is the error=6.  You can look this up in 
/usr/include/errno.h which says:


#define ENXIO   6   /* Device not configured */

which probably means that the device disappeared at runtime.  What other 
messages were logged prior to this?

I downloaded it just fine from the Makefile. It seems to extract itself

Re: tar Ignoring out-of-order file What Does that Mean?

Jonathan McKeown writes:
 [that was me - I'm glad I was of some help]

Most definitely. You've been a tremendous help but I am still
stuck and I believe all issues are known except this one.

I should know when the unpacking/packing part is working
by unpacking the FreeBSD iso image and then repacking it without
doing anything at all. This should give me an iso image that is
the same size as the good one and probably a byte-for-byte copy
of the original.

I did as you suggested and here is what happened.

First, I created a directory called image and cd'd
there.

$ ls 

It's empty as it should be.

$ ln -s usr/src/sys sys
$ ls -l 
total 0 
lrwxr-xr-x  1 martin  martin  11 Nov  5 07:44 sys - usr/src/sys 

Now, it is time to unpack the iso image.

$ tar xf ~/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
tar: Ignoring out-of-order file 

Darn!  Well, Let's see how big an ISO image file it makes anyway.

$ mkisofs -l -R -q . ~/tmp/testfile.iso
$ ls -l ~/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso ../tmp/testfile.iso 
-rw-r--r--  1 martin  martin  598476800 Nov  5 07:48 ../tmp/testfile.iso 
-rw-r--r--  1 martin  martin  601229312 Sep 21 08:57 
/home/martin/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso 

The original iso image is 2,752512 bytes larger. I bet it's the
files that tar doesn't seem to be happy about.

Once this hurdle is finally jumped, the rest should be
quite normal.

If you mount the image on a Linux system and use tar or mkisofs,
you get a file that is almost twice the proper size so I think
there may be some links that end up as multiple versions of the
same files when they should have been symlinks or something
else. The image made with FreeBSD's mkisofs and tar utilities is
the archive that is 2.5 megs short.

   I found out that tar works on unpacking these images and it
 mostly does on this one, but there is a complaint I get from tar
 that I haven't found on other images. If I do a

 tar tvf 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

 -r--r--r--  1 0  0   22916 Jan 12  2007 RELNOTES.TXT

I haven't taken any steps at all to verify this, but just looking at
the error message it would appear that it's ignoring sys, which is a
symlink to usr/src/sys. I wonder if it's encountering sys, trying to
create the soft link and finding that usr/src/sys doesn't exist to be
linked to because it hasn't been unpacked yet? That may be the meaning
of the message about an out-of-order file.

 It appears that the entire image unpacks except for the
 ignored file. If one tries the extraction with

 tar xf 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

 The complaint about the out-of-order file is the only indication
 that anything is wrong.

If it is indeed sys that's not being created, it's a symlink to a
directory rather than a file or link to a file. If the root of the CD
doesn't contain a directory called sys which softlinks to usr/src/sys,
it should be possible to correct the error by doing

ln -s usr/src/sys sys

in the root of the unpacked CD filesystem.

   In looking at the man page for tar, nothing jumps out at
 me  as to how to end up with the proper file structure that
 mkisofs can put back in to an image to put on a CDROM.

   My thanks for any suggestions as I may be needing to do
 one of these installs in a day or so and it would be nice to
 know that all the image is there.

I may have missed your deadline in that case - sorry, I've been on
holiday.

This is probably not a direct answer to your question, but might be helpful:

ISO images can be mounted as filesystems. In linux you would do
something like mount -o loop /path/to/your.iso   /path/to/mnt
In FreeBSD, you would need to create a memory disk and mount it, i.e.

mdconfig -a -f /path/to/your.iso

(response) md0

mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0  /path/to/mnt

you can then copy the files, and modify what you need.
In order to make boot CDs again,  you would need to use cdrecord with
suitable options, which I don't remember by heart.

BUT, you may look at the instructions on the following page:

http://www.pa.msu.edu/~tigner/bsddvd.html

there are instructions to create a bootable DVD from FreeBSD cdroms, and
I can confirm the procedure works perfectly.

2007-10-30 Thread Martin McCormick
I need to modify the first installation image for a
headless installation of Freebsd6.2. The file in question is:

6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

Thanks to a helpful member of the list, I found out that
tar works on unpacking these images and it mostly does on this
one, but there is a  complaint I get from tar that I haven't
found on other images. If I do a

tar tvf 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

Here is what happens while looking at the contents list:

0   44232 Jan 12  2007 RELNOTES.HTM lr-xr-xr-x  1 0  0

-r--r--r--  1 0  0   22916 Jan 12  2007 RELNOTES.TXT

It appears that the entire image unpacks except for the
ignored file. If one tries the extraction with

tar xf 6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

The complaint about the out-of-order file is the only indication
that anything is wrong.

In looking at the man page for tar, nothing jumps out at
me  as to how to end up with the proper file structure that
mkisofs can put back in to an image to put on a CDROM.

My thanks for any suggestions as I may be needing to do
one of these installs in a day or so and it would be nice to
know that all the image is there.

What does this mean?: +g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=32768, length=2048)]error = 5

2007-06-22 Thread Bill Moran

Noticed the message in the subject in last night's security run.

Is this a sign of impending drive failure?  Some google searches turned
up information about Areca drivers and lots of unanswered questions.
This system doesn't have an Areca driver, and it's been rock-solid
for about 2 months now.  This is the first time I've seen these errors.

The error (in case the subject gets mangled):

Maybe it is just the medium. You could try reproducing
the problem using dd. And then try another medium to see
what's going on.

Whups ... never mind, just realized the cause.

Must be working too hard ... I'd completely forgotten that I'd tried to

quick response.  Sorry for the noise.

What does it mean: BBB reset failed?

2007-03-08 Thread Stevan Tiefert
Hello list,

I have connected my MP3-Player Mustek E-102 on my SiS 5571 USB
controller named as ohci0. The Kernel reports immediately after
connection:

umass1: vendor 0x10d6 USB 2.0(HS) Flash Disk, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0
da0: USB 2.0 (HS) Flash Disk 1.00 Removable Direct Access SCSI-0
device 
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 242MB (497377 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 242C)

But in /dev the device da0 never appears! During the next minutes these
errors appears:

umass1: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT
umass1: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
umass1: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
(da0:umass-sim1:1:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4, scsi
status == 0x0

and it seems that the system freezes randomly afterwards for a few
milliseconds...

Any ideas?

With regards
Stevan Tiefert

just what does kserel mean?

2006-09-11 Thread Nestor Wheelock
I have searched all over the net for a good definition of what the top 
state, kserel means.  When I run mysql this is the state in which it 
runs.


  PID USERNAME  THR PRI NICE   SIZERES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
 2117 mysql  17  200   323M 59080K kserel 0   0:02  0.00% mysqld


I'm a newbie with freebsd and am concerned that this might be some sort of 
problem since my installation of Mysql turned out to be rather 
challenging.

That's just a wait state used inside libkse threads meaning a thread is
waiting for something to do.  Note that for a threaded program, the
STATE seen by top is that of only one thread owned by the process. 
Press 'H' to see each thread on its own line.

This state is set in the kse_release() call in sys/kern/kern_kse.c,  
and appears to mean that the process is waiting to be woken up by a  
signal or is otherwise blocked waiting for more work; this is handled  
by returning control to userspace via an upcall.


See man kse_release:

 In other words, as soon as there is a scheduling decision to be  
made, the
 KSE becomes unassigned, because the kernel does not presume to  
know how
 the process' other runnable threads should be scheduled.   
Unassigned KSEs
 always return to user space as soon as possible via the upcall  
mechanism
 (described below), allowing the user process to decide how that  
KSE
 should be utilized next.  KSEs always complete as much work as  
possible

 in the kernel before becoming unassigned.

[ ... ]

 The kse_release() system call is used to ``park'' the KSE  
assigned to the
 currently running thread when it is not needed, e.g., when  
there are more
 available KSEs than runnable user threads.  The thread converts  
to an
 upcall but does not get scheduled until there is a new reason  
to do so,

 e.g., a previously blocked thread becomes runnable, or the timeout
 expires.  If successful, kse_release() does not return to the  
caller.

poor mm, vmstat -- flt/ fr peaks -- what does they mean?

2006-06-29 Thread Marcin Koziej

I use recent STABLE
I lately noticed some memory management related performance problems on 
my system -- I haven't changed the software I use (apart from upgrading 
some packages) but I get clicks/lags which playing music, which didn't 
happen before :( In fact, I've never had such 'lags' when clicking 
windows/firefox tabs or problems with music since FreeBSD 4.5.


I tried to trace this, but i don't have an idea how.
It seems there are peaks of faulting, and then freeing a lot of memory.
The music clicks are happening about 2-3 lines (seconds) below the peaks.

Also, there is a lot of 'fr' --freed pages, but the ammount of 'fre' - 
free pages does not change. what does this mean? It's not freeing 
because of forced swapping, because pi/po is 0 almost all the time

It means that someone (probably you or a program you were running since it's 
from localhost) connected to sendmail (probably on TCP port 25) on your 
machine, but then disconnected before issuing any commands.  You can generate 
the message again by doing telnet localhost 25 and then typing ^] and quit 
without typing anything over the connection.

Probably the result of a port scan or connectivity check.  I wouldn't worry 
about it unduly.

Do you run something like Nagios or BigBrother on your system? I see 
this in my logs when our network monitor connects to check port 25 is 
still responding. You would see it at regular intervals in that case.


Of course, you or one of your users telnetting to port 25 manually would 
do the same thing.

ports libtool change, what does it mean?

2006-02-23 Thread Hans Nieser
Earlier today, after a portsnap, I noticed a lot of ports with new
revisions. I checked the UPDATING file, but it had nothing new in it
(something about acroread7 was the latest entry). I decided to just do a
simple portupgrade -a and let it rebuild everything (this is on a laptop
with Xorg, Gnome2, etc.).

Sometime later I portsnapped a server machine and noticed that there was
now an updated UPDATING file explaining that the ports revisions were
bumped because of the libtool change. It seems I portsnapped my laptop at
a bad time, as it had apparently already gotten the ports after the
libtool change but not the updated UPDATING file. (Note that I installed
FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on this laptop only 2 days ago with a fresh portstree
 so I don't think the bumped ports could have from some previous change).

I have read the UPDATING entry 3 times now but I'm still not really sure
what it means. Fortunately it seems that my laptop's portupgrade -a went
OK except a dependency of subversion (apr-db4) failing to configure, but
since I don't need svn at the moment I just removed it altogether and let
it be for now. My question basically is, can I expect more problems later
on, if so, should I rebuild my system from scratch?

GBDE error message - what does it mean?

2006-01-28 Thread Christian Baer
Hello again everybody!

A few days back I got my first GBDE-device up and running.
After that I had a slight problem described
in [EMAIL PROTECTED].
I already discribed this problem in a newsgroup
(comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc) and didn't get much help there[1] (apart
from the adive to use geli instead of gbde). So I could go on working I
simply changed to the trial-and-error approach.

Well, I never really got to solve the problem itself, but could create
and mount filesystems on ad6s1c and I could also initialize and attach
that device to the kernel, create a filesystem on ad6s1c.bde and use it
normally. At least, as far as I can tell.

But then I took a look in /var/log/messages and saw this:

Jan 24 00:00:21 jon kernel:g_vfs_done():ad6s1c.bde[WRITE(offset=157273636864, 
length=131072)]error = 1
Jan 24 00:00:52 jon last message repeated 2 times
Jan 24 00:02:56 jon last message repeated 8 times
Jan 24 00:12:48 jon last message repeated 39 times
Jan 24 00:23:08 jon last message repeated 40 times
Jan 24 00:32:57 jon last message repeated 38 times
Jan 24 00:42:46 jon last message repeated 38 times
Jan 24 00:53:06 jon last message repeated 40 times
Jan 24 01:02:55 jon last message repeated 38 times
Jan 24 01:13:12 jon last message repeated 39 times

[...]

dmesg is also full of this (only the first line of this quote, of
course).

Asking aunt google wasn't too helpful this time. I found one more or less
useful thread about this subject:

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2005-11/0523.html

A lot of talk and a fair bit of speculation, but what it boiled down to
was, noone really knew what the problem was. There was a comment that
maybe the device was full which in my case can't be since there are
still som 38gigs free (of 149).

Does anyone have an idea what I should do, or who I should bug? I'm not
sure I want to write PHK an Email yet.

Regards
Chris

[1] This is not a complaint, I guess noone had encountered and solved
this problem before.

URGENT -- AP #1 (PHY #1) failed -- what does this mean?

2005-07-29 Thread Chad Leigh -- Shire . Net LLC

Hi

Sorry for the URGENT line.  I have a critical server running 5.4- 
RELEASE-p1.  It is a dual AMD MP 2800+ (Gigabyte board) with 4GB RAM  
and an Adaptec 2100S raid controller.


Running (obviously) an SMP kernel.  I recompiled the kernel this  
afternoon and changed one line --  the


options  HZ  line from HZ=1100 to HZ=400 as a test of PHP  
performance.  That was the only thing changed  (the machine had been  
up since I installed 5.4 on it June 1).  I built and installed the  
kernel and tonight I rebooted the machine.


Now when it boots it comes up and

real memory = 3758030848 (3583 MB)
avail memory = 3678240768 (3507 MB)
ACPI APIC Table: GBT AWRDACPI
AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed!
panic y/n? [y]


What does this mean (and what do I do about it)?

I am off to Google but as I am in a real tight spot I thought I would  
ask for some help asap before I go and try and figure this out.


Thanks
Chad

Ok, thanks.  Googling showed that absent other signs of a true HW  
problem, others have powercycled and the problem has gone away.  That  
seems to have worked for me as well.  Will monitor the situation.

Paypal is not trying to do anything. Some lamer is trying to use your

What does sbwait mean in top ?

2005-02-06 Thread Jon Drews
Hi:

 What does sbwait mean in top? Is it related to a sysctl setting? I
have looked in the man page for top, at William LeFebvres site (
http://www.groupsys.com/top ), in Evi Nemeth's UNIX System
Administration Handbook and Googled in general.  Does anyone know of
a URL that gives an explanation of sbwait and for that matter semwait
too.

  Kind regards,

Re: What does sbwait mean in top ?

  What does sbwait mean in top? Is it related to a sysctl setting? I have
 looked in the man page for top, at William LeFebvres site (
 http://www.groupsys.com/top ), in Evi Nemeth's UNIX System
 Administration Handbook and Googled in general.  Does anyone know of a
 URL that gives an explanation of sbwait and for that matter semwait too. 

The sbwait wchan is present when a thread has invoked the in-kernel
sbwait() function to wait for a socket event.  It's used in a number of
situations, but the main ones are:

- The thread is trying to send on a blocking socket, but there's
  insufficient socket buffer space, so it must wait for space.  This might
  occur if it has managead to max out the bandwidth available to a TCP
  connection, or flow control is in use and the receiver does not wish to
  receive more data yet.

- The thread is trying to receive on a blocking socket, but there's not
  enough data to satisfy the read request, so it must wait for data to be
  received.  It might be waiting for a remote TCP sender to have data
  available, or for in-flight data to arrive.

Well, your program:

'/usr/local/sbin/update_dat'

Appears to be uploading files but can't find the file to upload.

Open up the program file and take a look around. Your answer is sure to be
in there (assuming that it is not a compiled program).

Harddisk UDMA ICRC error... from kernel at bootup. What does it mean?

2004-06-16 Thread Rob
Hi,
A friend of mine switched from Windows XP to FreeBSD, because I garanteed that 
FreeBSD
would be faster. I also want to optimize performance as much as possible. I'm therefore
worried about the following messages from the kernel at bootup:

Both harddisks are on the same IDE 40-pin cable as master and slave.
ad0 is the FreeBSD formatted harddisk; one slice and several FreeBSD partitions.

ad1s6 (msdos).
I don't understand much of the lines above.
The last line says it falls back to PIO mode due to errors with ad1s5c.
What does that mean? Will it use the slow 16.6 MB/s data exchange from disk to host?
Does this then also imply that both disks use PIO/slow data exchange speed?
(remember: both disks are on the same cable to the motherboard).
What can I do to get things better and faster?
And also: is this UDMA ICRC error because it's a Windows/DOS partition?
Would formatting to FreeBSD filesystem solve the problem?
Thanks,
Rob.

Super-simplified: it's telling you it gets checksum erros when it tries to
talk to the drives at ATA66 speed, so it slows down and is then successful.

 The last line says it falls back to PIO mode due to errors with ad1s5c.
 What does that mean? Will it use the slow 16.6 MB/s data exchange from disk to host?

Yes.  Windows is probably already running at this speed, but it just doesn't
bother to inform you.

 Does this then also imply that both disks use PIO/slow data exchange speed?
 (remember: both disks are on the same cable to the motherboard).

Yes.

 What can I do to get things better and faster?

Get an 80 conductor cable (probably).

 And also: is this UDMA ICRC error because it's a Windows/DOS partition?
 Would formatting to FreeBSD filesystem solve the problem?

No, it's more likely because of the 40 pin cable.

If you have a hard disk without any pre-existing operating systems and 
want to install FreeBSD why are messing with FIPS or FAT system.
Just insert the installation CD and follow directions.

If your trying to install some other system then you're in the wrong place.

 Please note that FIPS reported OK after checking FAT while running.

 The message I get from the FIPS at the end of everything is that the
 partition has been created and that I should run scandisk on the smaller
 partition.  Then beneath this it says:

 Memory allocation error
 could not load command system halted.


 The exact msg from trying to install from the image CD I created is:

What sort of image? Some operating system? Or something else?
If it is not an operating system on what and how are you trying to install it?


 'Building the boot loader arguments
 read error: 0x01
 could not find primary volume descriptor'



Unlikely anyone can help without more informatiom.
Best of luck,

sbwait is the name of a kernel function meaning 'socket buffer wait'

from a socket.  Or, at least that's what I gather from reading the
sources: there doesn't seem to be any documentation in the whole
RELENG_4 src tree mentioning that particular term:

What does portsclean *mean*?

I tried running portsclean after upgrading a lot of my ports recently, and

So, does this mean I should delete the libraries in /usr/lib/compat? Then 
continuing:

I don't understand what I should do here. Should I delete the older 
libraries? What does it matter that they are not from packages? I never use

these conflicts! Or are they conflicts? Do they matter? If not, why does

Does this mean I should delete the three libraries in

** Try using libchk(1) (sysutils/libchk) to find out unreferenced libraries.

One of my gripes about the portupgrade group of tools is that their 
documentation doesn't explain their error messages. Any help would be 
appreciated.

Your were being port scanned, probably by yourself too. :) Been there, done

There is a safety feature built in to limit the number of packets per second

 Limiting open port RST response from 312 to 200 packets per second
 Limiting open port RST response from 282 to 200 packets per second
 Limiting open port RST response from 281 to 200 packets per second
 Limiting open port RST response from 264 to 200 packets per second
 Limiting open port RST response from 226 to 200 packets per second
