Installworld fails on 7.0-RC1

2008-01-01 Thread Peter Thoenen
Hello,

Hope the new year finds everybody well and not too hung over :) ...
posted a bit earlier with BETA4 but just wanted to state that
installworld still fails for me on 7.0-RC1

- uname -a = FreeBSD ssfbsd.securestate.org 7.0-RC1 FreeBSD 7.0RC1
#1: Tue Jan 1 10:28:19 EST 2008
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

The entire build output (alo script) can be found at:

https://www.nan-elmoth.net/fbsd/7.0-rc1.installworld.txt

Repost of current issues with 7.0:

---

Issue 1:

I originally built my source with WITHOUT_TCSH=YES defined but then
discovered later that OpenOffice.org needs it to build.  I can manually
go into /usr/src/contrib/tcsh and make and make install but when I
attempt to rebuild world (after removed WITHOUT_TSCH=YES from src.conf)
it dies.  See:

https://www.nan-elmoth.net/fbsd/buildworld.tar.gz

---

Issue 2:

To resolve Issue 2 I simply stick WITHOUT_TCSH=YES back in my src.conf
and make buildworld.  Once this completes I continue to follow UPDATING
and make kernel (just fine) and reboot into single user mode.  Once here
though make installworld FAILS.  As you can see my kern.securelevel is
correct and I know for a fact zfs supports symlinks so got me.  To get
around this I do it the old fashion way and make installkernel and
then make install continuing to follow UPDATING
after this (make delete-old and mergemaster -i).

See:

https://www.nan-elmoth.net/fbsd/buildworld_no_tsch.tar.gz
https://www.nan-elmoth.net/fbsd/makeinstallworld.tar.gz

Help on the above issues would be appreciated.  I can provide more info
as needed or troubleshoot further if you provide me exactly what you
want me to do.

Thanks,

-Peter

Re: Various Issues with 7.0-BETA4

2007-12-11 Thread Peter Thoenen
 Do you have zfs_load=YES in /boot/loader.conf?

Scot: Shouldn't have to do this as zfs in compiled in.

 Did you create the zfs structures and file system while in single user
 mode with root mounted read-only? If so, this is a known feature and

If so not intentionally ... don't remember to be honest.

 it won't be fixed: you need to a) mount root read-write and b) run
 /etc/rc.d/hostid start before /etc/rc.d/zfs start. To fix it, mount root
 read-write, remove zpool.cache file (if any) from /boot/zfs, run
 commands from b and then run zfs import -f until you have your zfs
 file systems online. Then reboot into multiuser mode - it should work
 now. Never modify zfs without steps a and b, some combinations of
 such modifications lead to kernel panics or possible data loss.

Ja .. that def worked.  Thanks much Ivan. I think the step I was missing
in my fixes (or when working from single user mode) was calling
/etc/rc.d/hostid  never could figure out why I had to force input my
pools (always in use) and that was most likely it.

Just FYI above mainly worked minus the zfs import -f step ... had to
do zpool import -f instead.  I am guessing just fat fingered on your
end but figured I should stick it in my response for the archives in
case anybody has the problem and actually searches them.

BTW, is that known feature documented anywhere .. .can't imagine I am
the only guy that has hit this problem and it happened to me on all 3
ZFS systems I have build on FBSD.  Googled quite a bit before posting
over the last week or so but this is the first time I am seeing a fix.

 
 As for the other problems: presence of /usr/lib32 is not influenced by
 kernel build options. I don't know what influences, but the kernel
 doesn't. Are you running java and other applications in 32-bit mode? Why?

Not intentionally running anything in 32-bit mode but trying to track
down some odd problems (namely java, xchat, and slow X responsiveness
(e.g. ~2 min to open a gnome-terminal from time of click) and one of the
errors I always got on boot was something about 32 compatibility and not
finding /usr/lib32

So took a look at /usr and noticed I do not have a lib32 and then from
inference (bad or good) it appeared I should from the above error
message and
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2004-March/000966.html
(ja very old and referencing FBSD6).

Figured I was in error not having it as:

1) I have options COMPAT_IA32 deifned in kernel
2) WITHOUT_LIB32 is NOT set in src.conf (implying that it should be
built by default from my understanding of how world is built)

Just trying to narrow things down one at a time.

Thanks much on the ZFS issue.  Now the build and install world issues :)
(and hopefully once all fixed the java / xchat issues will magically
clear up :(

Various Issues with 7.0-BETA4

2007-12-10 Thread Peter Thoenen
Hello,

Having various issues with 7.0-BETA4 and not sure where to begin.  Going
to post multiple issues here so please bear with me.  The ultimate goal
of course is 7.0-BETA4 working cleanly in addition to associate ports
(e.g. I can't get xchat or java to work either (though all my others
port do) and I think its related somehow to this)).  Feel free to point
me at another list if applicable.

EDIT: Big text attachments so I compressed.

- Background: Install 7.0-BETA2 off the amd64.iso.
- Background: / is UFS, /usr is ZFS
- uname -a = FreeBSD ssfbsd.securestate.org 7.0-BETA4 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA4
#0: Mon Dec 10 08:36:52 EST 2007
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64



Issue #1:

For some reason zfs_enable=YES in rc.conf doesn't work.  It doesn't
seem to auto mount my zfs mounts which is a PITA.  Currently I am forces
(each time I reboot) to boot into single user mode, mount all my drives,
then exit, continuing into multi-user mode.  The interesting this is step 3.

1) fsck -p
2) mount -u /
3) zfs
4) zfs mount -a
5) exit

NOTE: If I skip #3 and immediately do #4 it mails.  For some reason I
have to to a straight zfs call.

NOTE: If I immediately go to multiuser mode skipping manually mounting
not only does zfs not mount but I have to re-force import the tank pool
(e.g. step 3.5: zpool import -f tank)

Issue 2:

I originally built my source with WITHOUT_TCSH=YES defined but then
discovered later that OpenOffice.org needs it to build.  I can manually
go into /usr/src/contrib/tcsh and make and make install but when I
attempt to rebuild world (after removed WITHOUT_TSCH=YES from src.conf)
it dies.  See attachment buildworld)

---

Issue 3:

To resolve Issue 2 I simply stick WITHOUT_TCSH=YES back in my src.conf
and make buildworld (attachment: buildworld_no_tcsh).  Once this
completes I continue to follow UPDATING and make kernel (just fine) and
reboot into single user mode.  Once here though make installworld FAILS
(see attachment: makeinstallworld).  As you can see my
kern.securelevel is correct and I know for a fact zfs supports symlinks
so got me.  To get around this I do it the old fashion way and make
installkernel and then make install continuing to follow UPDATING
after this (make delete-old and mergemaster -i).



Issue 4:

For some reason I don't have a /usr/lib32 built even though COMPAT_IA32
is defined in my kernel.  I am guessing this is causeing other issues
later on as I have odd issues I can't track down xchat and java (see the
ports list for the xchat segfault w/ libc) .. Java simply dies with no
error or segfault I can see (and I have no idea how to debug java itself).

Help on the above issues would be appreciated.  I can provide more info
as needed or troubleshoot further if you provide me exactly what you
want me to do.

Thanks,

2006-10-11 Thread Peter Thoenen
Lots of knashing of the teeth on this one but lets face it, it had to
die sometime.  For all the 4.x users still out there (and plenty of
them have deep pockets) no reason you can't just hire third party
support (possibly even a current developer); hell get together and
maybe pool your resources.  Thats just how life is for legacy systems,
we are all mature enough here in the tech world to know this.  No
reason you can't sell your CIO's on this when I am guessing they are
shelling out millions on other vendors.

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 Tor issues (Once More, with Feeling)

2006-07-15 Thread Peter Thoenen
Hey Fabian,

To you have pf running? If so can you turn it off for a bit a see if
you still crash.  On my box I was getting all sorts of witness kbd
backtraces on pf and since turning pf off (maybe a week ago), haven't
crashed yet.  Going to let it keep running unmetered for another 2
weeks and see if I crash or not.

Re: FreeBSD 6.1 Tor issues (Once More, with Feeling)

--- Fabian Keil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 There was a request for Tor related problem reports
 a while ago, I couldn't find the message again, but I
 believe it was posted here.

 Is anyone on this list running a Tor node on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE
 or later with similar or higher load?

I am hitting the same issue still Fabian.  I had that PR closed as
works for me with insignificant testing.  I am still crashing (as
before) but maybe only once every week or two instead of every couple
hours with 6.1 RELEASE.  The PR really should be reopened.  Couple
other folk have emailed me with similiar issues offline (and also spoke
with it about me on IRC).

I am still 99% sure this is NOT A TOR ISSUE!!!  I have spoken with many
tor users on other platforms and the actual developers and this is not
seen by any of them.  I can also recreate this crash NOT running tor
but just generating a heavy load with freenet and i2p.  My gut feeling
is still a network code regression between 5.x - 6.x with the stack
rewrite. I am at a loss how to troubleshoot this anymore (as noted in
the PR and my earlier email).  I truly hope somebody (e.g. a developer)
can shed some light on this issue or troubleshoot it.
