If you're willing to pay for it, server boards will suit you better.
For example something like this:

http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBE.cfm

This board ships with a 82563EB network controller, which is AFAIK not
supported under FreeBSD yet. I haven't tested it, so maybe I'm wrong?

I don't know what your problem is, but I can make some recommendations
on debugging it.

*) Are you running it verbosely when this happens? Crank the verbosity
up as high as it will go on both the client and the server and see if
anything shows up. Is the a DEBUG option available if you recompile?
*) Got any network monitoring stuff available? Heavy packet loss?
*) Try ktracing the process while it's running. Should narrow down
the cause a good bit. Or maybe attach gdb to it.
*) Try rsycing to a local directory to see if it still happens. That
should narrow the problem down to either network or not.
*) fsck your disks?

Hope some of this is helpful. Generally, when I have mystery errors,
I start with ktrace. If you're not familiar with it, ktrace can be a
bit overwhelming, but it's got lotsa useful information. Same can be
said for gdb.

Nope. It's specified in the DNS RFCs, and consequently built into the
client side resolver stuff in libc.

Where did you get to create slices. When I installed this system (Sun
U60) sysinstall didn't offer the possibility of creating a slice at all.
The only devices of this sort that I can create are da0x and da1x - no
's'!

Is this due to the SPARC64 plattform or did I miss something?

It is almost certainly due to your platform. Slices (aka partitions in
MS-DOS) are pretty much specific to the IBM PC (and derivatives thereof.)

First, you should update your system to RELENG_5_5. Then probably you
can try to update to RELENG_6_2. It is always good to update to the
latest minor before you update to a different major version.

By the way, updating a system from 5 to 6 is a headache. (Updating from
4 to 5 is much easier.)

It is the other way around in my experience. Going from 4.x to 5.x is quite
a bit of work and not for the faint of heart. From 5 to 6 is not much more
difficult than upgrading from (say) 5.4 to 5.5 or 6.1 to 6.2

Many will suggest (including me) to install your
new 6.2 system from binaries, and then transfer your programs and users,
if possible.

Thanks,

I suggest you read the CVS Red book, in particular the section on
branch
management and merging.
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html

I agree with other posters, you may want to move to newer SCM
systems... I've
been using SVN for a while now, and couldn't be happier. There's
also a SVN red
book , with sections for current CVS users to understand the
differences.

Thanks. I have started reading them.

Don't forget the Cderquist! It should have been installed along with
the CVS binary and man pages.

I haven't used Subversion myself, but have plenty of experience with
release management using CVS. If you start using branches, make sure
you keep complete and accurate documentation of your branching and
merging. Also, make sure you understand what will and will not get
merged in certain situations.

For example, it's fairly common to make the following mistake:

1) You main development branch is on the trunk.
2) You create a branch for some development and add some new directories
3) You prepare for a merge by updating to the latest version of the trunk
with something like "cvs -q up -PAd"
4) You perform your merge operation: "cvs -q up -j DEV_BRANCH"

You will not have merged your new directories to the trunk. This is
because you pruned empty directories in step 3 and CVS will only examine
directories that exist in your working copy during a merge.

I don't recommend them if you plan to use as a file server. They have
an issue with randomly rebooting under a large network load with
thousands of open connections. Have seen this on my system and have
have had a dozen or so folk email me with the identical problem.

-Peter

I've had the same problem, but with x86 systems (specifically an IBM
xSeries system and a home-built AMD64 system) running FreeBSD 6.0 (IIRC).

These systems were on a home cable modem connection and there were
pretty regular break-in attempts. When reviewing logs, I'd see attempts
to brute-force logins and passwords for the ftp and ssh services.
I eventually had to turn ftpd off since it seemed guaranteed to panic
the box during one of these cracking attempts. sshd seemed to handle
things better, but I have had one panic occur.

I haven't tried 6.2 to see if I encounter similar problems.

Today's Excuse: emissions from GSM-phones

I really need to do the same sort of thing for the *BSD systems I admin.
You may want to look at Ghost 4 Unix, although for the record I have
not yet tried it. Our Solaris installs have been automated using
Jumpstart and cfengine, but we haven't worked out a similar system for
the BSDs.

A quick and dirty hack that's worked for me thus far is to mirror your
primary disk with gmirror, then pull the second drive and just insert
it into a new system. You'll then want to modify the typical files
with the new IP, hostname, etc. If you end up using gmirror on the new
system, be sure you do a "gmirror forget" to erase the metadata stored
at the end of the disk. If you forget to do this, you'll run into some
issues when to try to create the new mirror.

I want two 160GB mirrored volumes, not 4 unmirrored ones. The RAID is an

Is this normal? Am I going to break my mirror if I mount a single disk?
If
so, how do I mount a mirror?

It sounds like your onboard RAID chip is either not supported, or the
appropriate driver is not being loaded. Can you post the output of
dmesg?

Also, be aware that you may not really have a hardware RAID chip.
Many (most?) times the onboard chips simply make multiple disks look
like a single LUN to the operating system; they also require driver
support. Real hardware RAID chips/cards tend to be expensive,
proprietary, don't require an OS driver and include a battery backup
system for data in the RAID cache should the system lose power.

You may want to read up on gmirror.

-Damian

ps. I've got at least a half-dozen different x86 system boards that
include these crappy RAID chips from vendors like nVidia, Intel,
Adaptec, LSI, etc. Typically you get closed-source, Windows-only
driver support.

pps. If you do want real hardware RAID support under FreeBSD, I've had
great experiences with the Promise arrays (m500 and m300) and
one of the PCI cards (I'd have to check on the exact model).

You can grab the latest zoneinfo file from http://www.nih.gov/ and
recompile it with /usr/sbin/zic.

Yeah, you could use the ports tree, but I prefer using methods that

If this user logs in via SSH you can use the ForceCommand keyword in

achieved with sudo(8) .

Thanks, nice idea. But it seems I can't use it.
Let me be more specific:
If user X logs in then I want to run "/usr/bin/script -aq /path/user_X"
The file user_X must be protected from modifying/deleting

Could this be done?!

A simple technique is to have /etc/profile check for user X and
for him
source another file (containing the commands which X can't modify).
Have root
own this file and allow all others to only read and execute it. sudo is
unnecessary.
This is inelegant in that it has a general and widely used file look for
special cases,
but that is something that almost all programs do. This inelegancy is
present in other
places in UNIX .

FWIW if you're really feeling up to it you can simply craft your own
shell for the user. You can write a short C program that forks a
process, and call execve() with your script in the child, and then
execve() with their desired shell in the parent.

I'm probably mistaken about this, but I didn't think /etc/profile was
necessarily executed should someone login via ssh.

It's almost certain that you've got more partitions on that machine,
and that the files under /usr are on another partition then the root
partition. Try using "du -x /" to only consider files on the root
partition without crossing filesystem mountpoints....

Well here's the thing, I was able to reproduce it on 2 separate

i got the same error whether i used portupgrade or just a plain make

here is a script, just after a make clean

i just set up my first gmirror raid1, and... it was really simple. too
simple. "ok... what did i skip or do wrong?", was my first thought.

i follow the doc from onlamp.com:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1

i did have one giant deviation tho, and im wondering if it really makes a
difference. the article depicts creating the gmirror immediately following
initial operating system install, but i did my example on a fully
functioning
system. other than that, i have 2 identical disks, and things seem to be
working:

castor# gmirror status
Name Status Components
mirror/gm0 DEGRADED ad0
ad1 (33%)

im sure im seeing less than the best performance since im using but a single

ide channel, but other than that, is it feasible to insert an identical
disk,
and setup the gmirror at anytime a freebsd'er likes?

also, the doc didnt mention it, but if you do use to differing disk sizes,
obviously the smaller one should be ad0? and other than that, is there any
difference in setting up gmirror if the second disk is larger?

cheers,
jonathan

Where did you get to create slices. When I installed this system (Sun
U60) sysinstall didn't offer the possibility of creating a slice at all.
The only devices of this sort that I can create are da0x and da1x - no
's'!

Is this due to the SPARC64 plattform or did I miss something?

It is almost certainly due to your platform. Slices (aka partitions in
MS-DOS) are pretty much specific to the IBM PC (and derivatives thereof.)

The first step covered the partitions in sysintall, the second step the
slices.

Maybe you did everything beforehand in fdisk before going to the
"graphical" version of disklabel?

Only by trying to mount the camera as root could I succeed.

Does anyone have a FAT16/FAT32 drive properly mounting under FreeBSD as

here is a script, just after a make clean

So I'm still at a loss.
Hmm, perhaps your environment is corrupting the build. Try "env -i make".

I thought the exact same thing. My previous experience was with vinum
and, while it was great 4 years ago (props to grog), the simplicity of
geom for simple setups was greatly needed.

i follow the doc from onlamp.com:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1

i did have one giant deviation tho, and im wondering if it really makes a
difference. the article depicts creating the gmirror immediately
following
initial operating system install, but i did my example on a fully
functioning
system. other than that, i have 2 identical disks, and things seem to be
working:

castor# gmirror status
Name Status Components
mirror/gm0 DEGRADED ad0
ad1 (33%)

im sure im seeing less than the best performance since im using but a
single
ide channel, but other than that, is it feasible to insert an identical
disk,
and setup the gmirror at anytime a freebsd'er likes?

Whether or not this is the *right* way to do it or not, I am not sure,
but I can tell you that this is basically what I did on two servers
about 6 months ago and I've had no problems. I even had a drive
failure. When I plugged the new one in, it rebuilt correctly and has
been running well since.

also, the doc didnt mention it, but if you do use to differing disk sizes,

obviously the smaller one should be ad0? and other than that, is there
any
difference in setting up gmirror if the second disk is larger?

Yes, make the first disk the smaller one. I don't believe there is a
difference in setup, but the extra space on the second drive (say,
ad2) will be wasted.

Cheers,

Jason

Hi,

We are considering to set-up a mirror for FreeBSD in Thailand, how
much disk space should we target for a full irror?

Best regards,

Only by trying to mount the camera as root could I succeed.

Does anyone have a FAT16/FAT32 drive properly mounting under FreeBSD as
a non-root user? If so, did you modify /dev, /etc/devfs.conf, or are you
using amd(8)?

Take a look at sudoers(5) and visudo(8)

I use sudo to mount my mass storage compliant devices with the
following command as regular user:

for my mp3 player
[ajm@bsd]$ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/mp3player

for my camera
[ajm@bsd]$ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/kodak

for a memory card reader
[ajm@bsd]$ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/card_reader

Just make sure you change the ? to an actual device number.
You do need to create the /mnt directories in your own home directory
so that you can read and write to those devices as a regular user.

Also use sudo to un mount the device:

[ajm@bsd]$ sudo umount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1

NOTE: I did not change anything in the /etc/devfs.conf or am I using
amd(8).

2) Can anyone suggest a well supported board with gigabit lan,

If you're willing to pay for it, server boards will suit you better.
For example something like this:


http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBE.cf
m

This board ships with a 82563EB network controller, which is AFAIK
not supported under FreeBSD yet. I haven't tested it, so maybe I'm
wrong?

Latest intel drivers vresion 6.2.9 says:...

I can't reliably explain it. Maybe I've got an OEM version with some
other NIC or someone stuck an additional NIC in it before it got to
me. Or maybe the documentation or the driver are wrong :)

Hum, that means LAN works on a SuperMicro X7DBE motherboard? That's
really good news! I was hesitating buying one, because of the supposed
lack of 82563EB support, but I see I'm wrong. Can anyone explain how
this chip could be supported, even if not mentioned in the driver itself
and in the documentation?

Ivan, do you have the opportunity to open your server, and check what
LAN chip there is inside?

Thanks, bye

That's not an absolute solution though, because it should work as a
regular user (maybe with a bit of fenaggling). Besides, installing sudo
is a security risk anyhow..
