fink has joined #arpnetworks fink: RandalSchwartz: have you ever been able to boot into single user mode from the boot prompt on your vps?
how can i boot into single user from the boot loader prompt, on a zfs on root system? bob^^: boot -s ?
oh wait, what os? cedwards: I would guess FreeBSD if its zfs? bob^^: that's the assumption i made too
(though on freebsd isn't there a menu option to boot single user during boot?)
i don't often get to see the console of freebsd boxes when they reboot :) fink: thanks guys, tried them both cedwards: I haven't had my account long enough to need to use single user mode, but I would assume it'd be available via VNC or console. fink: boot -s gives me a weird error cedwards: I used VNC yesterday and I seem to remember seeing the boot menu bob^^: what's the error fink? fink: cedwards: it's weird, the console shows nothing, and vnc gets to this point and apparently freezes: "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf"
bob^^: just a sec, i'll tell you
i'll have to hard restart it
networking comes up, but apparently the shell never starts?
the console gets to right before MOTD and stop, and vnc freezes at that point i mentioned
i can ping it, but not ssh it
in bob^^: hmm, strange
any special ssh config?
seems strange that it'd bring up network but not ssh fink: bob^^: unless pf is borked bob^^: very possible - can you disable it? fink: but that still doesn't explain why vnc & console won't allow me to log in bob^^: that said, that shouldn't stop you logging in
^^:) fink: ;) bob^^: at that point, what happens if you hit control + c ?
wondering if something is hanging trying to dns or whatever? fink: bob^^: ok, on hte console, i see dmesg, etc. starting services (sshd, etc.)
gets to starting cron & background file checks, displays the current date
and then it should display a username prompt, right? bob^^: pretty much, yup fink: but it just hangs bob^^: at that point, press control + c
see if it suddenly jumps back into life RandalSchwartz: boot off the DVD, mount the filesystem, look at the log bob^^: oh - you haven't got it set to do serial console have you? cedwards: I submitted my pubkey for serial console yesterday, which I ended up using this morning. I'd recommend it. fink: bob^^: i hit ctrl-c, nothing, apparently the console is unresponsive too; no console commands work
weird! bob^^: if it's set to do serial console iirc this is the point where the kernel shoves everything out the serial port rather than the monitor
could it be something to do with that? fink: RandalSchwartz: right, i was trying to do that, but apparently i can't mount zfs using fixit?
bob^^: console access was working before this reboot, dunno :( bob^^: assuming you haven't changed loader.conf it shouldn't be that :)
or is it in boot.config -: bob^^ can't remember bob^^: you'd know if you'd done it, that's for sure :) fink: and vnc is really weird, it just stops displaying anything after "Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf"
bob^^: right bob^^: something sounds ill fink: i can get to the boot prompt, but "boot -s" gives me a weird error, i'll try that again RandalSchwartz: sure you can
you mount it the same way you mounted it when you were building it
remember to kldload opensolaris and zfs
and be sure you set the mountpoint to not be / :) fink: Booting from Hard Disk… // FreeBSD/i386 boot // Default: zroot:/boot/loader
boot: boot -s
Invalid format
RandalSchwartz: ok i'll try it, thanks RandalSchwartz: zroot or zpool? fink: says zroot RandalSchwartz: Hmm.
oh right
I got those confused too
zroot is what you get if you do it from those instructions
have you *ever* rebooted your box?
and if so, what did you change since the last time? :) fink: RandalSchwartz: yes, i've rebooted a couple times RandalSchwartz: did you add some firewall or anything else that would make it hang on boot? fink: RandalSchwartz: just ntp & tun for openvpn RandalSchwartz: how did you add tun? fink: i was screwing around with pf, but it had restarted pf and was not locked out before i rebooted RandalSchwartz: pf might be freezing on boot then
boot from dvd into the fixit shell, mount your disk, and move pf.conf out of the way fink: ok RandalSchwartz: but about tun... :)
how are you creating that?
i merely have "dev tun" in my openvpn.conf
I don't do anything in rc.conf fink: RandalSchwartz: same here, i just reused a working server config from a 7.2 box
right RandalSchwartz: except openvpn_enable=YES fink: me too RandalSchwartz: ok so that's probably not it fink: i have a feeling it's somethign with ntp, personally RandalSchwartz: it's probably a borked pf
oh?
how do you have that?
I just have ntpdate_enable=YES, ntpd_enable=YES
didn't change anything else, and it just works
I'm even using the default ntp.conf :) fink: well i noticed on the console (which gets right up to where there should be a login prompt), that ntp can't resolve the pool servers because dnscache hasn't started yet RandalSchwartz: oh - so you have some dns things too fink: RandalSchwartz: i just changed the ntp.conf to use us servers, that's it RandalSchwartz: I haven't even bothered with that.
the ntp pool is geo-dns fink: RandalSchwartz: in fixit, i start an emergency holographic shell…how do i then access it? RandalSchwartz: so any old instructions to change it aren't needed any more fink: RandalSchwartz: you're probably right, i didn't need to screw with it RandalSchwartz: I only know this because my former client, Ask Bjorn Hansen, operates it. :)
it's not the holographic shell. it's the fixit shell
I tried the holographic thing once and it wasn't what I wanted
same shell you used to install zfs in the first place fink: ok, dvd shell then RandalSchwartz: then follow step 6 of http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot
then you should be able to say "zfs list" and see your disk
there might be something else you have to do... can't remember
step 1.6 I mean
step 6 of part 1 :) fink: RandalSchwartz: awesome, i think i'm getting somewhere. thanks! RandalSchwartz: this is one feature (of many) that I appreciate about the VPS setup at arp
the fact that I can boot my broken system to poke at it fink: ok now vnc has stopped responding again…the prompt is frozen
this is too weird
i loaded the kernel modules, and then bazinga bob^^: it died when you loaded the module? ***: ziyourenxiang has quit IRC (Quit: ziyourenxiang) fink: ah, i sent a break character, now it's restarting the shell
sorry i false alarm i guess? the shell became unresponsible
responsive* RandalSchwartz: I seem to remember also needing to type that LD_LIBRARY_PATH export too
because the shell you're using is linked against the dvd
but now you're mounting a new file for /
I *do* know there's a way to do this. sorry for not remembering better. fink: RandalSchwartz: i can't even type anything or access my shell, i guess i'll hard restart
this is too weird
thanks for your help RandalSchwartz: yes - try export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt2/lib before you kldload
and it might be that zfs is now taking time to ensure the disk is ok or something
so boot to the fixit shell, set your library path
then invoke the two kldload fink: ok cool RandalSchwartz: at that point, the zfs command should work fink: hey RandalSchwartz RandalSchwartz: hey fink fink: i finally got into single user mode! RandalSchwartz: yeah?
what was the trick? fink: i mounted everything with `/sbin/zfs mount -va` or `/sbin/zfs mount -va -o rw`, but when i try to backup my rc.conf, it tells me "Read-only file system"
the trick was restarting from the dvd, and then watching the console; i'm in the console now
for some bizarre reason, the console was not responding when starting straight from disk ***: toddf has quit IRC (*.net *.split)

'zpool import -f -R /mnt zroot' just gets me /var & /usr RandalSchwartz: that's a legacy mount
you need to give it a mount point

i've thought about converting to maybe help with the pain in my hands cedwards: I used to get wrist and hand pain quite frequently. infrared: how long did it take to get comfortable?
and do you program? bob^^: i'm not sure i could re-train away from qwerty now cedwards: at first I figured I'd switch because a friend was, and he won me over with some technical benefits (mostly numbers and stats).
i have to say though, the #1 reason I use it now is that I haven't had wrist/hand pain in 3yrs since switching! infrared: really?! cedwards: it tooks about 3 weeks to be back to my previous speed on qwerty, and let me tell you it can be a rough three weeks. infrared: i tried for a half hour.. i got so frustrated i couldn't even login :( cedwards: honestly, no more wrist pain and I type at minimum 8hrs a day, every day. infrared: do you program?
i don't like where the { } are on dvorak bob^^: i was thinking of getting a das keyboard
(the totally blank one) infrared: oh wait { } didn't move (i think) cedwards: I can't rationalize the cost (I have three kids..), but I'd *love* one of those keyboards.
infrared: I don't program, much. I do a good amount of bash scripting and I also teach PHP as a cont. ed course

(at work) cedwards: litebread: all vowels on the left hand and most common consonants on the right hand. litebread: cool
im looking at the one i have here at the house now, i have not checked it out in a while and wow bob^^: hah, that's a great comic :) cedwards: infrared: I have my problems with Red Hat, but I do have a bit of a bias. I'm RHCT/CE/CI/CX (tech,engineer,instructor,examiner) litebread: it would take me sooo long to adjust cedwards: infrared: we're all centos at work, with a few debian servers mixed in. infrared: cedwards: certifications mean nothing to me. it's what you can prove cedwards: infrared: but I run arch on my laptop, and BSD or debian on my servers. infrared: cedwards: certifications only matter when you're job hunting trying to get past those "HR firewalls" cedwards: infrared: i suppose. i do like the RH exams though. They do try to make it more "real world" than fill-in-the-blanks.
we used to cover suse in our courseware, and I always found it a little overcomplicated.
..but I guess that's why I like Arch. infrared: well, SLES (nowadays) is built on opensuse

the source to the same firmware is quite another
freely distributable firmware should be a given, not a hard fight that happens now and then
the source to the firmware, well, have fun
firmware is not binary blob drivers for the os, that's another ball of wax
if you use binary blobs you're handing the keys to the kingdom to whomever handed you that blob cedwards: at this point, while I generally feel free software is the better solution, using non-free software is not one of the seven deadly sins toddf: no hell involved in any event, clearly a choice of convenience vs freedom and inspectability litebread: infared: thank you, i used the email part of the 'contact page' to inquiry about the extra memory and ips toddf: its a choice, some justify wrongly perhaps, but a choice nonetheless
personally I find it more convenient I can install an os w/out phoning for a license or going through my wallet to get one, but that's just me cedwards: ohh I definitely agree infrared: holy smokes im slow with this cedwards: infrared: keep it up. you're doing great ;) infrared: haha cedwards: teh vast majority of my software is open, but I still break for flash and skype and junk like that infrared: skype++ cedwards: infrared: didn't take you long to type that! infrared: :) cedwards: but hopefully html5 will kill flash. fingers crossed. ***: Jestre_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) toddf: cedwards: fingers, and toes, and everything inbetween, yes indeedy

is it wrong that I'm already very tempted to pickup a second machine here? RandalSchwartz: not at all

thinking of a third (at the $20 rate) just to have a second machine to "play" cedwards: I would love to migrate my linode to FreeBSD here. RandalSchwartz: and freebsd has full linux execution (*not* emulation) cedwards: I've really enjoyed Linode--I'd recommend them--but the availability of FreeBSD is just too tempting (plus, better deal!) RandalSchwartz: so you could probably move most of yoru binaries cedwards: I'm sure I could rebuild it (webserver) on FreeBSD and get better performance. RandalSchwartz: sure
well maybe not *much* better necessarily

at least once or twice. cedwards: at my current host I have currently used: 51.8 GB for the month.
that is pretty well average for me. -: up_the_irons sends [FBI] after all bandwidth busters RandalSchwartz: oh cool! cedwards: to be honest, it wasn't clear to me that the bandwidth was the special.
maybe I just didn't read closely enough, but i initially thought it was the storage. RandalSchwartz: Friday and Gannon, at my door!
which of course, dates me. :)
since nobody else will :) up_the_irons: Dragnet? RandalSchwartz: yeah - that was fbi wasn't it?
oh maybe not
they were LAPD -: cedwards just noticed he doesn't have a bandwidth meter on his panel. cedwards: better shoot off to support@
is email or support tickets preferred? up_the_irons: cedwards: they are equivalent cedwards: up_the_irons: thanks up_the_irons: np ***: fink has joined #arpnetworks litebread: up_the_irons: i had placed an order at 4am PDT, i wanted to know when did i need to do this and how much a ram upgrade would be up_the_irons: litebread: all the prices are here: http://arpnetworks.com/vps
litebread: i generally don't do piecemeal upgrades; so if you want more ram, pick the next highest plan
litebread: "when did i need to do this" <-- what do you mean? litebread: add the extra ram, its fine however ive placed my order ill just go with that
i had another question to regarding ips, i noticed 13 was the highest listed, if i needed anoymore than that will they be available after setup? RandalSchwartz: get your customers to connect in v6
you get millions of those. :) aem: ....yeah.
heh litebread: yes i see that you do get quite a few, aem: no, millions.. RandalSchwartz: a /48 aem: lots and lots
ehe litebread: yes indeed RandalSchwartz: 2 ** (128 - 48) :) up_the_irons: litebread: you can upgrade at any time; you can get more IPs than 13 but you'll have to fill out an IP Justification form and comply with RFC 2050 RandalSchwartz: yeah ipv4 is pretty scarce now litebread: up_the_irons: ok thank you
right i think its what about a year left
or a little more at the rate they are going RandalSchwartz: I've been playing with miredo up_the_irons: right RandalSchwartz: which lets me tunnel v6 over v4
so I can ssh into my box using v6 litebread: cool RandalSchwartz: host -t aaaa red.stonehenge.com infrared: why do you need 13 ips? coil: vhosts prolly litebread: i will be setting up a few different things
vhosts is actually one of the needs for them infrared: irc vhosts? RandalSchwartz: vhosts don't need it
but SSL does coil: litebread: just use ipv6 for irc vhosts infrared: yes coil: most major irc networks support ipv6 litebread: sorry was afk, coil ty ill do that then RandalSchwartz: most of the world sanely has v6
it's just the US that sucks
althogh comcast is rolling out v6 trials
6rd and dual stack soon
imagine port knocking in a /48 :) litebread: yeah RandalSchwartz: you could probably even encode a couple of bytes in each icmp packet
IP over ICMP, anyone? :) ***: redbeard_work has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.) cedwards: this will be my first non-lab foray into v6. i'm stoked.
i wish my isp supported it :( infrared: im getting pretty good at this keyboard. :) cedwards: infrared: good to hear ***: residual has joined #arpnetworks
heavysixer has quit IRC (Quit: heavysixer) fink: RandalSchwartz: after all that ntp junk, i found that the vps' clock was off by about 5 hours. do you think that might have had something to do with all the weirdness? cedwards: what ipv6 tunneling service(s) do you all like? litebread: hetunnel i like
how about you? cedwards: I don't have a preference. Never really bothered using one before. litebread: yeah
i had to because of this vps i had cedwards: litebread: hetunnel you say? coil: is that the same thing as tunnelbroker.net?
sponsored by he.net? litebread: yes, cedwards
let me check coil
it is sponser by hurricane electric
tunnelbroker.net it is
brb guys cedwards: looks like my home router doesn't support protocol 41. aem: ;( litebread: oh man cedwards: all the more reason to migrate from the netgear router to a pfsense setup. litebread: yeah thatd be nice cedwards: just need to make sure I can 1) auth to my DSL provider 2) still use the netgear as a wireless AP. litebread: yeah, hopefully everthing works out with that cedwards: that'll be quite the project. definitely going to have to wait on that.
or just go buy a new router/AP litebread: yeah
time vs money aem: sup? litebread: idk bro
im about to afk for the night here soon, and maybe have better luck tomorrow
in about a half hour fink: litebread: ttyl litebread: ttyl fink ***: fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink)
fink has joined #arpnetworks

ok im sleep
