I really have no idea if it works, but have you tried to export your
LVM volume via NFS and then mount it on your FreeBSD machine? All what
FreeBSD will see is an NFS volume which we all know work very well.
Just an idea,

Hello, list.
For the purposes of ease of software and hardware management, I'm
attempting to run a set of PXE-booted Client machines as web/db or
mail servers.
The NFS/DHCP/YP servers are running on a 5.4-STABLE Server. I mostly
followed the PXE guide when building these systems.
All of the disk (except for swap) sits on the master Server (which
has a bunch of external drive sleds), and all of the Client machines
boot via Gig-E.
Client machines are running 5.4-STABLE as well, but it is not
compiled with the same kernel configuration as the master Server, as
the hardware is slightly different. Client machines share userland
with the Server.
At the moment I have one Client machine running about 40 domains of
web and db, with reasonably low traffic (less than 3Mbit/sec total)
and one Client machine booted from the master Server, but not doing
anything.
Resource utilization on the master Server seems pretty low.
Sporadically, there appear to be stalls on some locks with rpc.lockd.
These lock stalls exhibit "interesting" behavior on the Client
machines: Slots will fill up on Apache in the "W" state. SSH login
attempts to the client machine (passwd files get some user data via
YP) will hang and timeout. when I find a file (via Apache's extended
status) which appears to be one of the stalled locks, and I attempt
to do anything with the file via a shell on the client machine, such
as "cat" it, that shell will become unresponsive. Any process which
is stalled on one of these files cannot be killled.
On the server, the only symptom I've witnessed is that rpc.lockd
starts using a bit more proc than it usually does. Normal utilization
is 0.0, and when the problem is happening, proc might go up to 3.0 or
so. "cat"ing a file on the Server which appears stalled on the
Client, works fine.
A stop and start of nfslocking on the server seems to clear things
up. Apache on the client will recover on its own, I'm guessing after
each stalled lock reaches a timeout. I usually gracefully restart
Apache, which forces the recovery to happen faster.
As far as timing, it doesn't appear to be consistently periodic. It
doesn't appear to be load related - I suffered through a Digg of one
of the sites, and while the client machine served more bandwidth that
couple of days than it had in a month, this particular problem did
not occur.
Over the past three months or so, this issue has probably cropped up
three or four times.
What can I do to troubleshoot this? I would like to add more client
machines, but I can't until this problem is resolved.
Changing OS builds at this point, unless absolutely necessary, is not
something I want to do.
Thanks for any insight!

rpc.lockd is unreliable in all versions of FreeBSD (although it may be
worse in 5.x), see the mailing list archives for extensive discussion
of this. Try turning it off and using mount_nfs -L instead to fake
the lock traffic (See the manpage).

It is perhaps reasonable to run a diskless webserver, especially if
it is serving mainly dynamically generated content.
Trying to run a database server or mail server without a disk strikes
me as a very bad idea. I am surprised that rpc.lockd is holding up
well enough to only go down about once a month; simply running the
locking tests which come with sendmail used to be enough to cause
rpc.lockd to crash...
Best of luck,

Yeah, I'm sure that would work - I already export most of my data via NFS
anyway - except that the machine I was going to try it on is the one with
the LVM data, thus I can't export it as NFS from Linux whilst FreeBSD is
running on the bare hardware (or can I?). Thanks anyway.
(FYI, the other machine I *could* try it on is a laptop; I actually did
intend to use FreeBSD as the primary OS on it at one point, but had zero
luck with either of the wifi cards (one internal, one cardbus - the cardbus
one is there because the internal one also refuses to work in Linux) in it.
A laptop with no network access isn't much good to me! :-( )

"...but most users" only care about writing letters
and resumes; openoffice does this fine. Even spits out
a PDF for me to email away with a coversheet. And then
there is always SunOffice... Since spending money
seems to be the solution for all of the problems I
have with windows and the lack of integrated features
it contains. Maybe I should go out and get a Quad
AMDx2 motherboard and fill it with FX series chips to
handle XP being slower then Warp, but alas windows
still has no real support for 64-bit chips. Oh and it
sure would be a pain to have to reinstall EVERYTHING
because the PNP windows machine won't let me switch a
motherboard on it.

if I buy a chain saw I take the time to read the
manufacturers suggested method to adjust the chain
tension. Maybe I'm not the normal person, but stuff
never works out of the box, and not taking the time to
read the manual is the users fault. and unlike windows
products the online help for FreeBSD and GNU in
general is incredible. Windows expects the use is an
idiot and makes no attempt to explain how the command
line switches work, or what registry keys do, or what
the blue-screen-o-death errors refer to.

which is why If i spend 300 on a license for windows
and 600 for a license for office I should get the
manual. Online help is useless in the windows world.
Nothing is more frustrating then having an error code
thrown in windows and the help system not having any
clue on what the error code is, but plenty of
information about how simple setting this thing up is.
Even more frustrating is the 15 chapters on how you
click the mouse and use the start menu.

I never thought the average user should have to set it
all up. I'm working towards deploying the system
amongst friends already configured becuase once it is
it don't break, is easy to use, and lightyears faster.
Make a PKzip of your windows install and try to copy
it to another machine. It doesn't happen, but if
someone took the time to setup FreeBSD they could copy
it on a million machines, and the users would never be
the wiser. Why can't I just zip up my windows machine
and keep a tape ready to go? why should it be an
ordeal to get it configured again. This is basically
what Apple did with Mac, and if they would just
release OS X on PC I wonder how fast the windows
market would shrink. As projects like PCBSD and
DesktopBSD advance it will be easier and easier to
convince folks windows is NOT the only kid on the
block.

and I think a company should be stopped by the
government for stealing code from a competitor or
potential licensor, hence: alpha chipset support in
NT4 and 3.5, and no SP5 for Windows 2000 and no real
replacement for the aging NT beast. XP is a joke,
slower, and annoying if you work in an environment
constantly mapping network drives to the same
letters... Not to mention security should be part of
the OS. Why should a person spend 300 on a license to
spend another 100 on the software that makes it
secure. A recent article by "Information Week" Sept
4, 2006 edition; article "Windows After Vista":
Microsoft itself admits it maybe should use a virtutal
machine to support the old software and hardware so
they can remove the old and slow capatability code
from the protected system enviroment. hmm, it took em
10 years and thousands of exploits to figure out they
should use a "jail" system to make the kernel faster
and more secure by not allowing the old and flawed
programs with exploits due to the hacks they used to
make em work in the first place to talk to the system
directly, nor be part of the kernel directly; What a
concept.

This is unfortunate - the "client" machines I have chosen have no
front-panel disk sleds. Hardware administration will be a bear if
they each have to have their own disks. Software-wise, I was hoping
to have them all share a common Kernel and userland too, so I only
have to update software in one place.

I will be using qmail, when I get to that stage. qmail is supposed to
be rather safe, even over NFS.

I have this in my /etc/devfs.rules file on a system successfully using
CUPS with a parallel port printer:
[localrules=10]
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
(I also have 'devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"' in my /etc/rc.conf
file.)
That makes sure that CUPS can access the lpt* devices (including the
lpt*.ctl devices). Mode 0660 also ensures that not everyone can access
lpt*, just root and members of the cups group (i.e., CUPS).
Cheers,
Paul.

What feature(s) exactly do you need that OpenOffice doesn't have?
In what way is MS Office better concerning this (these) feature(s)?

No, it is forums like this that help improve the
documentation in general. And hopefully give the basic
outline when things are solved to allow documentation

if they didn't make OEM pc manufacturers sign
contracts REQUIRING they distribute MS-DOS/Windows or
loose their OEM status to deal microsoft products this
number would likey be a lot smaller. Probably with

Doom3? Maybe just because they can make money doing
it, that is the usual motivation for theifs. That and
a license in a country like Argentina (per our
Argentinian friends in the forum) costs on the order
of $1000 US dollars.

Installing is simple, making a restorable backup with
included utilities of the whole system is next to
impossible. Even with Sysinstall... Nothing more fun
then having a Microsoft unintended installation fail,
only to reboot and restart and having it magically
work fine.

Kris,
Is there a way to note -L via fstab? Since these machines are PXE
booted, unmounting and re-mounting with -L will be problematic, and
I'd like them to inherit this property at reboot.
Thanks,

Yes, use the -o format, see the manpage.

I can see your reasoning, however, it's not especially difficult to
keep many FreeBSD systems updated against a single machine configured
to build out new versions of the kernel, userland, and installed
ports when needed. [1]
The thing is, software like mail servers and the database are usually
I/O bound, not CPU-bound; when you get under enough load to matter,
usually what you need to do is add more disk spindles and spread DB
tables or logfiles or mailspool/queuedir locations amongst the extra
disks.

Yes, agreed-- qmail + maildir rather than mbox format is probably

Well, yes. But I wouldn't be unhappy if you found something that
works for your needs, even if it isn't what I would recommend myself.
At least some of the time, I even learn things from people who
configure things "strangely" from my perspective...

[1]: Mount /usr/src & /usr/obj from the buildserver on each machine,
do the update process, and then rsync over or mount /usr/ports/
packages, and use portupgrade or whatever to update or install from
the precompiled packages.

It appears that FTP clients using FTP are not able to interact passively

${ip} is the IP address fo the server (not the client).
this does not work.

Prefixing with 'no' negates an option.

Under the man page for mount_nfs, I have the following:
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a
comma sepa-
rated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for
possible
options and their meanings. The following NFS specific
options
are also available:
...
Historic -o Options
...
lockd Same as not specifying -L.
...
It doesn't have any other reference to -L. Are mounts specified in
fstab automatically non-locking, or is the man page incorrect?

I assume from this that you're using mbox storage.
Messages in the "inbox" are indeed in /var/mail/username, but messages in
other folders (outbox, trash, etc) will usually be somewhere in the
user's home directory, although this is dependent on what kind of
IMAP server you use (which you didn't mention).

Of course, you realize that Postfix is only an MTA; you probably need
something like an IMAP or POP3 server for most MUA's to access the
stored email...? And if you have been using POP3 in the past,
normally the email is kept on the local user machines and not on the
mail server; in that case, you will have to upload the saved email
from their local user machines back to the mailhost you are setting up.

Check for mbox support in your pop3/imap service as it seems to me that
you use mbox as mailformat. Also check access rights, check
configuration of pop3/imap service (whatever software you use for this,
like Courier, Dovecot etc.).

That depends on what you need.
The JRE (Java Runtime Environment) comes with the Java Virtual Machine
and standard libraries: everything you need to run Java binaries.
However, if you want to want to compile Java applications from source
you will need the JDK (Java Development Kit) which comes with the JRE +
the javac compiler and everything else you need to create Java bytecode.

Have you tried a non-PAE kernel? If its a new unit, I imagine its 64bit,
which, as far as I'm aware, doesn't require PAE ... ?

IIANM, Xorg 6.9 is exactly the same as 7.0, just packaged all together
(6.9) rather than in separate modules (7.0). Thus I believe the
assumption that installing 7.0 would improve matters is incorrect.
FYI, RC1 without compositing enabled works flawlessly so far for me on
-CURRENT. I'm running Xorg 6.9, portupgraded less than a week ago.

I have 2 new dl380/G5s which threw the Memory above 4G ignored errors
unless i used a PAE kernel. my kernel config is below, the machine has

is not in production yet either and i have not put a ton of stress on it.
I have 6G ram, so not nearly as much.
fwiw, here is my conf. I pretty much rolled the PAE config into my custom

Have you done an install of FreeBSD 6.1 on a 1950/2950? Does the
install kernel automatically recognize RAID arrays you have setup
with the PERC 5 bios? IOW, do I have to manually load some updated
module outside of the default 6.1 install and config?

Compare:

Q: What is top posting?
...to:
Q: What is the preferred way to exchange email on the FreeBSD lists?
A: Quote what you reply to [1], then put your response or answer
afterwards.

No harm done.
It's just much easier to follow conversations on the mailing list
when people do not top-post.
