This is assuming that you have another FreeBSD box which works properly, and that you can copy the ld-elf.so.1 file from. The intention is that you use a different floppy than the ones you use to boot from, and swap them in and out as required. =20 > > # echo ./ld-elf.so.1 | cpio -o > /dev/fd0 >=20 > When you say "write the file direct" do you mean that my system's "/" root > directory may also be directly written to, without having to first mount = it??! Not like this: writing direct to a block device like this will destroy any filesystem already on the device.

No -- don't do that. Shlib version numbers are changed for a reason. Instead either install the misc/compat4x port or else set COMPAT4X=3Dyes in /etc/make.conf and rebuild your world. This will let you run apps compiled for 4.x on a 5.x system. =20 > I'm only running 4.9: I assume you're on 5.x if you have a higher file=20 > number? Yes -- for libc the shlib version number is the same as the major version number of the OS.

I had hopes that this would not be the case.. Anyway right know I am having too many system freezes when trying to start X.. most of the time starting X will just freeze the whole system. But that is another issue since I am using 5.2 RC2 and this is not the right place to discuss this. I use FreeBSD for server (Proxy, DNS, DHCP etc) purposes for I am used to it an knows how to tweak it for very high performance. I work the whole day with a text interface so I want something different when at home. I want it to be easy enough to setup without the need to recompile or set any special settings in for instance device.hints or loader.conf. I used to use Apple for this and later on Windows..

You setup aliases in rc.conf: ifconfig_bge0="inet 2.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bge0_alias0="inet 2.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255" ( you need a 32bit mask on any aliases especially ones on the same subnet) then, if you do this you will see ARP complaints.

Im very use to sendmail as ive been able to compile sendmail to do rbl checks and use access.db and procmail filtering and spamassassin and it seems to work pretty good..although there does seem to be a small amount of "false positives" I suppose this is going to happen to some extent. So im looking to this mailing list to get your opinions and thoughts on this. Im more than open to the idea of useing something other than sendmail :-) -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com mrb@bmyster.com 207-247-8330 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 28 06:20:22 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 899B016A4CE for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:20:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from skutsje.san.webweaving.org (skutsje.san.webweaving.org [209.132.96.45]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D6EA43D67 for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:19:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dirkx@webweaving.org) Received: from skutsje.san.webweaving.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) hBSEGoEJ083629 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:16:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dirkx@webweaving.org) Received: from localhost (dirkx@localhost)hBSEGoBK083626; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:16:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dirkx@webweaving.org) X-Authentication-Warning: skutsje.san.webweaving.org: dirkx owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:16:50 -0800 (PST) From: Dirk-Willem van Gulik X-X-Sender: dirkx@skutsje.san.webweaving.org To: =?iso-8859-1?q?niraj=20kumar?= In-Reply-To: <20031228132152.56172.qmail@web8310.mail.in.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <20031228061333.M54896@skutsje.san.webweaving.org> References: <20031228132152.56172.qmail@web8310.mail.in.yahoo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ip addressing in freebsd X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 14:20:22 -0000 On Sun, 28 Dec 2003, niraj kumar wrote: > 1. in freebsd we can have two ip address for a single host like 2.0.0.1 > & 17.0.0.1 by using ifconfig but why can't we assign two ip like 2.0.0.1 > & 2.0.0.2 (i know that both r in same network) In your rc.conf: ifconfig_fxp0=...2.0.0.1 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=...2.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=...2.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 See /etc/defaults/rc.conf for more examples. > 3 where i can find more about this (links) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ chapters on networking and setup > 4. where is the code of the ip resolution in the kernel http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ chapters on the kernel and references for the OS internals.

There are systems that will put 160 GB (uncompressed) on a single tape ... they'll just run you $3000-3500. If, on the other hand, you think of it as a yearly full dump (split over multiple tapes) plus monthly incrementals then a DLT 8000 ($1000 ??) at 40 GB (uncompressed) will do just fine.

For Example, even though the XP slice that i have is the 3rd slice on my box(FreeBsd 5-Current, then RH9 Then WinXp) the device name for my xp slice still reads /dev/ad0s1. Though this dont seem right it works, i thought that it should read /dev/ad0s3. So to try and answer your questions. 1. Can I have another dual boot on my machine with XP (NTFS) and FreeBSD? yes u can, remember that u can mount the xp slice for "READ" not "Write". You can only read from the ntfs. "man mount" for more information. (for people who wish to correct me, there are some way to write to the ntfs, i know but as a general rule dont write to this file system type.) 2. Where can I read more about the process of instalation to keep my XP partition alive? u can read more in the handbook. if u do not tamper with your xp partition durring /stand/systinstall then the partition will not be bothered. (just remember what the device name is when you are using fips). What boot loader are u planning on using? i have tried BOOTMAGIC,FREEBSDs boot loader and also i have used grub (which is available in the ports). With grub i was not able to boot fbsd when my fbsd slice was formated with ufs2. this might have been fixed though. have fun.

In order to keep the data synchronized, you could possibly used some sort of shared scsi or fibre channel drive/array. You'd have to write a script that would run on the backup and tell it to mount the drive and startup the databases when the server was down. Shared scsi might be the easiest, but you'll have to buy some Y-terminated scsi cables so that the main machine won't reset the scsi bus on the backup machine when it (the main machine) goes down.

I installed gaim and figured out that this version of gaim didn't support m= sn. So I wanted to upgrade my ports tree, but because my laptop is 300 mh= z, I do not want to recompile my whole ports tree. I looked at freebsd-up= date but couldn't figure out how it worked. I also looked at PACKAGESITE = and PACKAGEROOT, but that only grabs the latest packages instead of updat= ing the whole ports system. (I'm missing the apt-get update/upgrade tools= :) Could somebody show me how to update the ports. Further, I want to use acpi, but it gives the following error while it trie= s to mount my drive: setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mountfailed: 6 After that I get something like this: Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem e.g. ufs:/dev/ad0s1a=20 ? List valid diskboot devices Abort manual input mountroot> It's not possible to mount the filesytem :( If I disable acpi than my system will boot normally. So has anyone encounterd this problem, and if not, how can I get my dmesg output to put in a bug report. This is on a toshiba portege 3020ct.

I also looked at PACKAGESITE and PACKAGEROOT, but that only grabs the latest packages instead of updating the whole ports system. (I'm missing the apt-get update/upgrade tools:) Could somebody show me how to update the ports. Roland - if you're just looking for the latest version of gaim, chances are that 'pkg_add -r gaim' will do what you want. That should add the latest package from the master packages repository. Otherwise, check out the section of the handbook dealing with updating the ports tree with cvsup, and manually install gaim again. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html) as far as you're acpi problem, there are a number of documented problems with 5.1, many will be fixed with 5.2, but i have not been following those discussions close enough to know if your machine is effected by the known issues or something new. ~j -- Jonathan T.

On further inspection, I see that login(1) is not being called, but login(3) seems to be. The shell in use shouldn't matter, because the shell itself should be run under the user's limits. > All I *do* know is that I use sshd to login regularly and the login > capabilities I set in /etc/login.conf do take effect ok.

There are some limits that aren't implemented, but if the users can change a limit, that's not what's happening here. Of course, users can always *lower* their limits, and they can raise their soft limits up to a maximum of the hard limit (that's what the distinction is for).

Yes, Im familiar with newsyslog, but Im not sure how it will play with rotating PostgreSQL's log file, as PostgreSQL seems to need some extra TLC when rotating the log while PostgreSQL is running. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/logfile-maintenance.html Ill have to let that sink in the brain, before I try messing with it.

At this point, it's generally more inexpensive to buy a secondary disk, or even a RAID setup. than to go with tape. Tape itself isn't a guaranteed medium by any means...meaning there have been times I've gone to backup from tape to then find out it was a less than full backup or data was corrupted on the tape. I won't even get into tape drive issues where you write data on one unit and a different tape drive won't read the same tapes, other than to say it happens. If you've got data that doesn't change often (ie like your pictures), and only grows, you've got a few options: 1. Set up a RAID-5 array. IMPORTANT- designate at least one hot spare! If your main use is for backup, you can go with an older SCSI solution, but if so, I _highly_ recommend using a RAID enclosure (with backplane, not a 'homemade' cabled setup- older SCSI (scsi2, UW, etc) is pretty picky about cable length, and using an external cabled enclosure can cause read or write errors and other issues (dropping a drive offline). Fiber channel or older scsi hardware RAID solutions can be had on eBay for pennies on the dollar right now.. Note that I'm talking about hardware RAID here...software RAID is slower (generally), and IMHO just not as reliable...yet. You can use the setup as a 'live data logical drive,' and if you're overly paranoid, do a scheduled tar archive (or other means of backup, but with tar you can add the incrementals to your archive) to the drives, or to an alternate drive, as well. 2. Buy a secondary IDE disk, sized at least 2x the size of your data to allow for growth. Do NOT use this drive for anything other than backup, eg mount the drive as /backup and only use it for (cronned) data dumps. You'll only be writing and reading to the drive occasionally, and as such, you should have a reasonably decent length of time the drive will work for, meaning it's likely to get replaced during upgrades years from now before the drive itself fails. Large IDE disks are getting insanely inexpensive... DLT drives in the 15gb(uncompressed) range are < $100, but as usual, become progressively more expensive as you go larger in size, woth a 40gb running ~$300-$500+. Anything larger in tape backup you're going to pay through the teeth. (100gb = min $1k on up) You can get a 100GB RAID array with enclosure/hardware RAID with a SCSI or Fiber Channel interface for ~200-$500 (10-14 drives, set 2 hot spares if you'd like), and a scsi or HBA card for ~$50. A fair number of businesses are also moving to 'disk backup' via SAN storage.... Anyways, just something else to think about- nothing against tape (ok, except they're slow and $$ by comparison).. And yes, I practice what I preach - both my live and backup filesystems are on a 14 disk fiber channel array with 15k RPM FC Seagate Cheetahs in a EuroLogic enclosure...I've got a second one that in time may become backups only with more hot spares.

The easy solution is to see if any of the log rotation scripts have the 'right' behavior...if not, you can write your own script to do it, test it by rotating the logs and then intentionally doing something to produce log output (depending on your log level)...if you get the log output, everything's happy. What it should be doing is this (and a side effect is you shouldn't run into log problems on other apps either): 1. Copy the log file locally, using whatever naming convention you want, eg logname.(massaged date/time stamp like $(date | cut -f' ')) 2. Truncate the existing log via cat /dev/null > original logfile . This allows the logging progam to continue to log without an invalid fd.. 3. gzip or move the copied logfile to wherever, gzip it etc.. This is a simple solution, and has the potential to lose a few log entries due to the time from the completion of the original log copy until the original log file truncation is completed, but should be fine for home, non critical or low usage (meaning not logging 1000 messages/minute) log files....there's probably a better way to do this, probably logging via a pipe, but I don't know the specifics offhand...

There are three main alternatives: 1) hard drives -- get another HD or two and back up all data from your main filesystem daily via cron (perhaps locally, perhaps to a second machine); very cheap but iffy reliability...more of a "hot spare" solution than a true backup solution, but reasonably effective. 2) DVD burner -- cheap, limited media capacity but you can burn 20-odd DVD's (modulo achieved compression ratio) in a sane amount of time 3) tape-- main candidates are probably sDLT (up to 320GB per tape capacity) or maybe Ultrium (LTO?)...expensive (~ $3000+), best reliability by far, and best support for incremental backups to conserve media costs -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 28 10:37:41 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 00CED16A4CE for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 10:37:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from rwcrmhc11.comcast.net (rwcrmhc11.comcast.net [204.127.198.35]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0C7AC43D3F for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 10:37:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from fbsd-questions@trini0.org) Received: from hivemind.trini0.org (trini0.org[68.39.114.118]) by comcast.net (rwcrmhc11) with ESMTP id <2003122818373901300lusjfe>; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 18:37:39 +0000 Received: from gladiator.trini0.org (gladiator.trini0.org [192.168.0.3]) by hivemind.trini0.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 325B02C5; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 13:37:39 -0500 (EST) From: Gerard Samuel To: Scott W Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 13:37:39 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.4 References: <200312280948.15063.fbsd-questions@trini0.org> <200312281303.14444.fbsd-questions@trini0.org> <3FEF1FC2.6000701@mindcore.net> In-Reply-To: <3FEF1FC2.6000701@mindcore.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200312281337.39033.fbsd-questions@trini0.org> cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Log Rotation X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 18:37:41 -0000 On Sunday 28 December 2003 01:24 pm, Scott W wrote: > This is a simple solution, and has the potential to lose a few log > entries due to the time from the completion of the original log copy > until the original log file truncation is completed, but should be fine > for home, non critical or low usage (meaning not logging 1000 > messages/minute) log files....there's probably a better way to do this, > probably logging via a pipe, but I don't know the specifics offhand... > Seems ok to me, as its for a home setup.

Another possibility (although somewhat of a hack) is to stop the program, rotate the log and then start the program up again. Perhaps not for a 24x7 environment but it does work.

I have had a dedicated file server on my home network for years. It serves out files to clients on the network via SMB and HTTP. This machine stores all of my permanent (and not so permanent) data and has two large identical disks. Only the first is used. The other is used strictly to back up the information on the first. A cron job runs a script at 7AM every morning which powers up the backup disk, mounts it, performs an incremental backup and then powers down the backup disk again until the next morning. The moral: Buy double the amount of disk space that you think you'll need or settle for half of what you can afford. Then force yourself to use one half only to back up the other half. Disk-to-disk backup is probably the best way to go for the home user. It's cheap and it's easy, but it won't break the bank. Reliability is probably significantly less than a $3k tape solution, but careful monitoring of the system and quick response to potential problems can mitigate this to a large degree. Pretty soon I plan to move the backup disk to a separate machine on the network that gets powered up each day by some kind of external timer. The machine will power up, contact the file server, do an incremental backup, then shut itself off. This would put me just one step short of a complete daily off-site backup, all with hardware that is considered by most to be obsolete.

So why not use a cheap IDE RAID controller and do RAID1 ? I think it would be much safer, and reduce the amount of time needed to restore the system once a hard drive fails. We use RAID1 with a spare drive on our web and email servers here, and there's no downtime each time a drive fails, having put all the drives on hot-swap bays on a promise fasttrack controller.

When you are done do this cd / umount /a When you take FBSD files to windows, use word to read them and there will not be any line feeds at the end of each sentence. When you move an windows file to FBSD, each line in the file will have line feeds at the end of each line. FBSD has very simple port/package named unix2dos.
