Re: problem with LSI MegaRAID on 8.2-RELEASE
Hi, What type of card is this? We've just ordered an IBM x3550m3, that also LSI based RAID IMHO. Are you sure that all disks and connections are OK?

FreeBSD on IBM X3550 M3

Finally, I got an USB DVD drive from my father and that made the trick. Memstick image or unetbootin pendrive installs won't work as it looks like. However, if I can help with testing memstick images I can do it until Oct 25. The unfortunate is that there not a single error about the memstick, it simply doesn't work. I also tried Ubuntu Lucid CD image written (with startup disk creator) to a pendrive and that also worked. First I tried 9-BETA3, but that failed with cannot mount root error. (Sorry I couldn't save the exact error message.) Then I thought I'll give a try to the 8.2-RELEASE. That worked out of the box with the RAID card and everything. The next big question is how easily will I install the 2 146GB disks that were left off the package. :) I'm going to find out it on Friday evening.

FreeBSD on IBM X3550 M3
Dear All, To anyone who plan to use the machine in the subject and interested in 'what's in box' I made some printout saves. Actually my last FreeBSD install was a FreeBSD 6.1 (6.2 now, and has a nice 790 days of uptime) on an Intel branded server. Printouts from IBM X3550 M3: ipmitool sensor: http://www.antiszoc.hu/x3550m3/ipmitool_sensor.txt ipmitool sdr: http://www.antiszoc.hu/x3550m3/ipmitool_sdr.txt dmesg: http://www.antiszoc.hu/x3550m3/dmesg.txt mfiutil show adapter: http://www.antiszoc.hu/x3550m3/mfiutil_show_adapter.txt actual kernel config: http://www.antiszoc.hu/x3550m3/X3550M3 NOTES on installing the machine: 1) It comes with UEFI instead of a BIOS. I had to install from a real USB CD/DVD, because the memstick image didn't work. I think the installer would also work with the Virtual Media option, but there were problem with arrow keys. It also occured on the UEFI screens, so I don't think it's FreeBSD related. (Virtual Media option arrived later then I could check the installer with it.) 2) The machine really boots slow, be patient. :) 3) Memory MUST BE installed in the order that's in the manual. It will boot, but you'll get a 'mem err' message on the small diagnostic panel in the front of the machine. 4) The IBM M5014 (LSI based) works fine with mfi(4) and mfiutil. Hot inserting new drives and creating an array was 5 minutes (including opening the disk packagings). 5) ACPI shutdown/restart etc. from the out-of-band management (IBM calls it IMM) console works fine. 6) I couldn't include pf in the kernel, because in that case ipmi(4) failed to load or find the interface. The pf and the mfip module loaded from loader.conf.

PHP-gnupg in jail - apache and tty
Hello, Currently I'm facing a wierd problem. I should have an environment in a jail where a PHP script (with pecl-gnupg) is able to sign messages with PGP. However it turned out, that PGP needs a tty in the jail, which is available if I use tmux or ssh login to the jail and signing from shell works. From the apache-php side, I got a "data signing failed" and nothing more useful. Of course I tried ktrace, but I couldn't find anything useful. I know that Apache should have a real login shell if php-gnupg is used, so it has one. (Yes I know it's bad, but it's a dedicated environment for this web application only.) On Linux I could do a tty with mknod in a chroot and signing worked with php-gnupg. Anyone has any idea to start with?

Re: ZFS - moving from a zraid1 to zraid2 pool with 1.5tb disks
Hi, I think it's enough to have 2 parity drives with raidz2. If a drive fails another two has to fail for data loss. However, keep in mind that raid (in any form) is not instead of backups. I have a setup where a 8TB RAID5 is the main backup and serves as file server for not important things AND there's a 3TB RAID5 in a different machine for secondary backups.

I have multiple http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132008 cards servicing RAID-Z2 and GEOM_RAID3 arrays on 8.0-RELEASE and 8.0-STABLE machines using both the old ata(4) driver and ATA_CAM.

Hi, We're running an 'old' LSI U320 x4 (or x8) PCIe hw raid card in a simple Gigabyte mobo without any problems. It was plug and play. The mobo has some P35 chipset and an E7400 CPU. If the exact types needed I'll look after them. (And yes, the good old U320 scsi is lightning fast compared to any new SATA drives and only 3x36GB disks are in raid5. I know that it won't win the capacity contest... :) ) I think these single cpu server boards are quite overpriced regarding to the few extra features that would make some to buy them. Anyway, I liked that Atom D510 supermicro mobo that was mentioned earlier. I think it would handle any good PCIe cards and would fit in a nice Supermicro tower. I'd also suggest to with as less disk as you can. 2TB disks are here so you can make a 4TB R5 aray with

Compiling 8.3 kernel
Dear All, In the weekend I tried to compile a custom AMD64 8.3 kernel. It started as a normal buildworld + buildkernel update from 8.3 and it turned out that without the FREEBSD_COMPAT6 and maybe LIB32 kernel config option the system won't boot into multiuser. It was mount and something else that crashed with a sig11 and therefore I left in single user mode. Somehow I left FREEBSD_COMPAT7 also in the config, but I'd sort that out also if possible. Of course the machine booted with the GENERIC kernel even after installworld which went fine in single user mode. I've found the following in the handbook, regarding the : "This option is required to support applications compiled on FreeBSD 6.X versions that use FreeBSD 6.X system call interfaces." I thought it won't be needed by default. There's nothing special in the kernel config file. I just sorted out unwanted devices (e.g: bluetooth, wifi, non-gbit nics etc.) and options from the GENERIC config file. If the new config or any other machine details needed please let me know.

I have only 2 machines > with bge NICs, all others are intel. I don't really know. Our BSD machines don't frooze. :) Really, I didn't have any production FreeBSD that froze. With 4.8 or 4.9 and Intel HTT enabled there were reboots, but on good hardware FreeBSD runs stable. The remote IPMI solution depends on the exact implementation. What I wrote is only for the X2100M2 machines. IMHO If your machines has a bridge that the OS cannot see (so the driver cannot take over) the remote console will work fine. For ipmi install /usr/ports//ipmi-tool and you can monitor your system with munin for example. My collegue wrote a munin plugin: http://muninexchange.projects.linpro.no/?search=&cid=0&os%5B4%5D=on&os%5B7%5D=on&os%5B3%5D=on&os%5B2%5D=on&os%5B5%5D=on&os%5B8%5D=on&os%5B1%5D=on&os%5B6%5D=on&pid=59 For FreeBSD you've to rewrite a little, but if you like I send you my version for the X2100. We would be very thankful if you send your ipmi output with your machine or mainboard version. Then we can extend our plugin. :) > >> When you load ipmi(4) with kldload there may be a some second pause, >> but don't panic then, that's no freeze. :) > > Good to know :) > > > Thanks for feedback, > > > -- > Nicolas Szalay > > > Administrateur systèmes & rĂŠseaux > > > -- _ > ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) > - against HTML email X > & vCards / \ > > ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

After successful upgrade and reboot I'd compile the the 7.2 kernel to my needs.

freebsd and securelevel question
Hi, So. The simple question is: Why FreeBSD has securelevel 0 if init sets it to 1, if it sees at boot that the level is 0? :) It's OK that it's in the manual, but there are two default ways to set securelevel at boot time also. I don't really get the point of this forced 0 to 1 changing. We'd like to use our machines with securelevel 0 by default, so I had comment out the relevant two lines from init.c.
