Adding Disks David O'Brien Originally contributed by disks adding This section describes how to add a new SATA disk to a machine that currently only has a single drive. First, turn off the computer and install the drive in the computer following the instructions of the computer, controller, and drive manufacturers. Reboot the system and become root. Inspect /var/run/dmesg.boot to ensure the new disk was found. In this example, the newly added SATA drive will appear as ada1. partitions gpart For this example, a single large partition will be created on the new disk. The GPT partitioning scheme will be used in preference to the older and less versatile MBR scheme. If the disk to be added is not blank, old partition information can be removed with gpart delete. See &man.gpart.8; for details. The partition scheme is created, and then a single partition is added. To improve performance on newer disks with larger hardware block sizes, the partition is aligned to one megabyte boundaries: &prompt.root; gpart create -s GPT ada1 &prompt.root; gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 1M ada1 Depending on use, several smaller partitions may be desired. See &man.gpart.8; for options to create partitions smaller than a whole disk. The disk partition information can be viewed with gpart show: &prompt.user; gpart show ada1 => 34 1465146988 ada1 GPT (699G) 34 2014 - free - (1.0M) 2048 1465143296 1 freebsd-ufs (699G) 1465145344 1678 - free - (839K) A file system is created in the new partition on the new disk: &prompt.root; newfs -U /dev/ada1p1 An empty directory is created as a mountpoint, a location for mounting the new disk in the original disk's file system: &prompt.root; mkdir /newdisk Finally, an entry is added to /etc/fstab so the new disk will be mounted automatically at startup: /dev/ada1p1 /newdisk ufs rw 2 2 The new disk can be mounted manually, without restarting the system: &prompt.root; mount /newdisk Resizing and Growing Disks Allan Jude Originally contributed by disks resizing A disk's capacity can increase without any changes to the data already present. This happens commonly with virtual machines, when the virtual disk turns out to be too small and is enlarged. Sometimes a disk image is written to a USB memory stick, but does not use the full capacity. Here we describe how to resize or grow disk contents to take advantage of increased capacity. Determine the device name of the disk to be resized by inspecting /var/run/dmesg.boot. In this example, there is only one SATA disk in the system, so the drive will appear as ada0. partitions gpart List the partitions on the disk to see the current configuration: &prompt.root; gpart show ada0 => 34 83886013 ada0 GPT (48G) [CORRUPT] 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 79691648 2 freebsd-ufs (38G) 79691810 4194236 3 freebsd-swap (2G) 83886046 1 - free - (512B) If the disk was formatted with the GPT partitioning scheme, it may show as corrupted because the GPT backup partition table is no longer at the end of the drive. Fix the backup partition table with gpart: &prompt.root; gpart recover ada0 ada0 recovered Now the additional space on the disk is available for use by a new partition, or an existing partition can be expanded: &prompt.root; gpart show ada0 => 34 102399933 ada0 GPT (48G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 79691648 2 freebsd-ufs (38G) 79691810 4194236 3 freebsd-swap (2G) 83886046 18513921 - free - (8.8G) Partitions can only be resized into contiguous free space. Here, the last partition on the disk is the swap partition, but the second partition is the one that needs to be resized. Swap partitions only contain temporary data, so it can safely be unmounted, deleted, and then recreate the third partition after resizing the second partition. Disable the swap partition: &prompt.root; swapoff /dev/ada0p3 Delete the third partition, specified by the flag, from the disk ada0. &prompt.root; gpart delete -i 3 ada0 ada0p3 deleted &prompt.root; gpart show ada0 => 34 102399933 ada0 GPT (48G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 79691648 2 freebsd-ufs (38G) 79691810 22708157 - free - (10G) There is risk of data loss when modifying the partition table of a mounted file system. It is best to perform the following steps on an unmounted file system while running from a live CD-ROM or USB device. However, if absolutely necessary, a mounted file system can be resized after disabling GEOM safety features: &prompt.root; sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 Resize the partition, leaving room to recreate a swap partition of the desired size. The partition to resize is specified with , and the new desired size with . Optionally, alignment of the partition is controlled with . This only modifies the size of the partition. The file system in the partition will be expanded in a separate step. &prompt.root; gpart resize -i 2 -s 47G -a 4k ada0 ada0p2 resized &prompt.root; gpart show ada0 => 34 102399933 ada0 GPT (48G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 98566144 2 freebsd-ufs (47G) 98566306 3833661 - free - (1.8G) Recreate the swap partition and activate it. If no size is specified with , all remaining space is used: &prompt.root; gpart add -t freebsd-swap -a 4k ada0 ada0p3 added &prompt.root; gpart show ada0 => 34 102399933 ada0 GPT (48G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 98566144 2 freebsd-ufs (47G) 98566306 3833661 3 freebsd-swap (1.8G) &prompt.root; swapon /dev/ada0p3 Grow the UFS file system to use the new capacity of the resized partition: &prompt.root; growfs /dev/ada0p2 Device is mounted read-write; resizing will result in temporary write suspension for /. It's strongly recommended to make a backup before growing the file system. OK to grow file system on /dev/ada0p2, mounted on /, from 38GB to 47GB?

USB 3.0 support is not compatible with some hardware, including Haswell (Lynx point) chipsets. If &os; boots with a failed with error 19 message, disable xHCI/USB3 in the system BIOS. Support for USB storage devices is built into the GENERIC kernel. For a custom kernel, be sure that the following lines are present in the kernel configuration file: device scbus # SCSI bus (required for ATA/SCSI) device da # Direct Access (disks) device pass # Passthrough device (direct ATA/SCSI access) device uhci # provides USB 1.x support device ohci # provides USB 1.x support device ehci # provides USB 2.0 support device xhci # provides USB 3.0 support device usb # USB Bus (required) device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device cd # needed for CD and DVD burners &os; uses the &man.umass.4; driver which uses the SCSI subsystem to access USB storage devices. Since any USB device will be seen as a SCSI device by the system, if the USB device is a CD or DVD burner, do not include in a custom kernel configuration file. The rest of this section demonstrates how to verify that a USB storage device is recognized by &os; and how to configure the device so that it can be used. Device Configuration To test the USB configuration, plug in the USB device. Use dmesg to confirm that the drive appears in the system message buffer. It should look something like this: umass0: <STECH Simple Drive, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.04, addr 3> on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0100 umass0:4:0:-1: Attached to scbus4 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus4 target 0 lun 0 da0: <STECH Simple Drive 1.04> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device da0: Serial Number WD-WXE508CAN263 da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 19457C) da0: quirks=0x2<NO_6_BYTE> The brand, device node (da0), speed, and size will differ according to the device. Since the USB device is seen as a SCSI one, camcontrol can be used to list the USB storage devices attached to the system: &prompt.root; camcontrol devlist <STECH Simple Drive 1.04> at scbus4 target 0 lun 0 (pass3,da0) Alternately, usbconfig can be used to list the device. Refer to &man.usbconfig.8; for more information about this command. &prompt.root; usbconfig ugen0.3: <Simple Drive STECH> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (2mA) If the device has not been formatted, refer to for instructions on how to format and create partitions on the USB drive. If the drive comes with a file system, it can be mounted by root using the instructions in . Allowing untrusted users to mount arbitrary media, by enabling vfs.usermount as described below, should not be considered safe from a security point of view. Most file systems were not built to safeguard against malicious devices. To make the device mountable as a normal user, one solution is to make all users of the device a member of the operator group using &man.pw.8;. Next, ensure that operator is able to read and write the device by adding these lines to /etc/devfs.rules: [localrules=5] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator If internal SCSI disks are also installed in the system, change the second line as follows: add path 'da[3-9]*' mode 0660 group operator This will exclude the first three SCSI disks (da0 to da2)from belonging to the operator group. Replace 3 with the number of internal SCSI disks. Refer to &man.devfs.rules.5; for more information about this file. Next, enable the ruleset in /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset="localrules" Then, instruct the system to allow regular users to mount file systems by adding the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.usermount=1 Since this only takes effect after the next reboot, use sysctl to set this variable now: &prompt.root; sysctl vfs.usermount=1 vfs.usermount: 0 -> 1 The final step is to create a directory where the file system is to be mounted. This directory needs to be owned by the user that is to mount the file system. One way to do that is for root to create a subdirectory owned by that user as /mnt/username. In the following example, replace username with the login name of the user and usergroup with the user's primary group: &prompt.root; mkdir /mnt/username &prompt.root; chown username:usergroup /mnt/username Suppose a USB thumbdrive is plugged in, and a device /dev/da0s1 appears. If the device is formatted with a FAT file system, the user can mount it using: &prompt.user; mount -t msdosfs -o -m=644,-M=755 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/username Before the device can be unplugged, it must be unmounted first: &prompt.user; umount /mnt/username After device removal, the system message buffer will show messages similar to the following: umass0: at uhub3, port 2, addr 3 (disconnected) da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus4 target 0 lun 0 da0: <STECH Simple Drive 1.04> s/n WD-WXE508CAN263 detached (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Periph destroyed Automounting Removable Media USB devices can be automatically mounted by uncommenting this line in /etc/auto_master: /media -media -nosuid Then add these lines to /etc/devd.conf: notify 100 { match "system" "GEOM"; match "subsystem" "DEV"; action "/usr/sbin/automount -c"; }; Reload the configuration if &man.autofs.5; and &man.devd.8; are already running: &prompt.root; service automount reload &prompt.root; service devd restart &man.autofs.5; can be set to start at boot by adding this line to /etc/rc.conf: autofs_enable="YES" &man.autofs.5; requires &man.devd.8; to be enabled, as it is by default. Start the services immediately with: &prompt.root; service automount start &prompt.root; service automountd start &prompt.root; service autounmountd start &prompt.root; service devd start Each file system that can be automatically mounted appears as a directory in /media/. The directory is named after the file system label. If the label is missing, the directory is named after the device node. The file system is transparently mounted on the first access, and unmounted after a period of inactivity. Automounted drives can also be unmounted manually: &prompt.root; automount -fu This mechanism is typically used for memory cards and USB memory sticks. It can be used with any block device, including optical drives or iSCSI LUNs. - - - <acronym>USB</acronym> Mass Storage Target - - - The &man.cfumass.4; driver is a USB - device mode driver first available in &os; 12.0. - - - When running on USB - OTG-compliant hardware like that built into - many embedded boards, the &os; USB stack - can run in device mode.

They are designed so that they can be read continuously without delays to move the head between tracks. While CD media do have tracks, these refer to a section of data to be read continuously, and not a physical property of the disk. The ISO 9660 file system was designed to deal with these differences. ISO 9660 file systems ISO 9660 CD burner ATAPI The &os; Ports Collection provides several utilities for burning and duplicating audio and data CDs. This chapter demonstrates the use of several command line utilities. For CD burning software with a graphical utility, consider installing the sysutils/xcdroast or sysutils/k3b packages or ports. Supported Devices Marc Fonvieille Contributed by CD burner ATAPI/CAM driver The GENERIC kernel provides support for SCSI, USB, and ATAPI CD readers and burners. If a custom kernel is used, the options that need to be present in the kernel configuration file vary by the type of device. For a SCSI burner, make sure these options are present: device scbus # SCSI bus (required for ATA/SCSI) device da # Direct Access (disks) device pass # Passthrough device (direct ATA/SCSI access) device cd # needed for CD and DVD burners For a USB burner, make sure these options are present: device scbus # SCSI bus (required for ATA/SCSI) device da # Direct Access (disks) device pass # Passthrough device (direct ATA/SCSI access) device cd # needed for CD and DVD burners device uhci # provides USB 1.x support device ohci # provides USB 1.x support device ehci # provides USB 2.0 support device xhci # provides USB 3.0 support device usb # USB Bus (required) device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da For an ATAPI burner, make sure these options are present: device ata # Legacy ATA/SATA controllers device scbus # SCSI bus (required for ATA/SCSI) device pass # Passthrough device (direct ATA/SCSI access) device cd # needed for CD and DVD burners On &os; versions prior to 10.x, this line is also needed in the kernel configuration file if the burner is an ATAPI device: device atapicam Alternately, this driver can be loaded at boot time by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf: atapicam_load="YES" This will require a reboot of the system as this driver can only be loaded at boot time. To verify that &os; recognizes the device, run dmesg and look for an entry for the device. On systems prior to 10.x, the device name in the first line of the output will be acd0 instead of cd0. &prompt.user; dmesg | grep cd cd0 at ahcich1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0 cd0: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU70N LT20> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd0: Serial Number M3OD3S34152 cd0: 150.000MB/s transfers (SATA 1.x, UDMA6, ATAPI 12bytes, PIO 8192bytes) cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present - tray closed Burning a <acronym>CD</acronym> In &os;, cdrecord can be used to burn CDs. This command is installed with the sysutils/cdrtools package or port. While cdrecord has many options, basic usage is simple. Specify the name of the ISO file to burn and, if the system has multiple burner devices, specify the name of the device to use: &prompt.root; cdrecord dev=device imagefile.iso To determine the device name of the burner, use which might produce results like this: CD-ROMs burning &prompt.root; cdrecord -scanbus ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 3.00 (amd64-unknown-freebsd10.0) Copyright (C) 1995-2010 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.9' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SEAGATE ' 'ST39236LW ' '0004' Disk 0,1,0 1) 'SEAGATE ' 'ST39173W ' '5958' Disk 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) 'iomega ' 'jaz 1GB ' 'J.86' Removable Disk 0,4,0 4) 'NEC ' 'CD-ROM DRIVE:466' '1.26' Removable CD-ROM 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) * 1,1,0 101) * 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) * 1,5,0 105) 'YAMAHA ' 'CRW4260 ' '1.0q' Removable CD-ROM 1,6,0 106) 'ARTEC ' 'AM12S ' '1.06' Scanner 1,7,0 107) * Locate the entry for the CD burner and use the three numbers separated by commas as the value for . In this case, the Yamaha burner device is 1,5,0, so the appropriate input to specify that device is . Refer to the manual page for cdrecord for other ways to specify this value and for information on writing audio tracks and controlling the write speed. Alternately, run the following command to get the device address of the burner: &prompt.root; camcontrol devlist <MATSHITA CDRW/DVD UJDA740 1.00> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0) Use the numeric values for scbus, target, and lun. For this example, 1,0,0 is the device name to use. Writing Data to an <acronym>ISO</acronym> File System In order to produce a data CD, the data files that are going to make up the tracks on the CD must be prepared before they can be burned to the CD. In &os;, sysutils/cdrtools installs mkisofs, which can be used to produce an ISO 9660 file system that is an image of a directory tree within a &unix; file system. The simplest usage is to specify the name of the ISO file to create and the path to the files to place into the ISO 9660 file system: &prompt.root; mkisofs -o imagefile.iso /path/to/tree file systems ISO 9660 This command maps the file names in the specified path to names that fit the limitations of the standard ISO 9660 file system, and will exclude files that do not meet the standard for ISO file systems. file systems Joliet A number of options are available to overcome the restrictions imposed by the standard. In particular, enables the Rock Ridge extensions common to &unix; systems and enables Joliet extensions used by µsoft; systems. For CDs that are going to be used only on &os; systems, can be used to disable all filename restrictions. When used with , it produces a file system image that is identical to the specified &os; tree, even if it violates the ISO 9660 standard. CD-ROMs creating bootable The last option of general use is . This is used to specify the location of a boot image for use in producing an El Torito bootable CD. This option takes an argument which is the path to a boot image from the top of the tree being written to the CD. By default, mkisofs creates an ISO image in floppy disk emulation mode, and thus expects the boot image to be exactly 1200, 1440 or 2880 KB in size. Some boot loaders, like the one used by the &os; distribution media, do not use emulation mode. In this case, should be used. So, if /tmp/myboot holds a bootable &os; system with the boot image in /tmp/myboot/boot/cdboot, this command would produce /tmp/bootable.iso: &prompt.root; mkisofs -R -no-emul-boot -b boot/cdboot -o /tmp/bootable.iso /tmp/myboot The resulting ISO image can be mounted as a memory disk with: &prompt.root; mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/bootable.iso -u 0 &prompt.root; mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt One can then verify that /mnt and /tmp/myboot are identical. There are many other options available for mkisofs to fine-tune its behavior. Refer to &man.mkisofs.8; for details. It is possible to copy a data CD to an image file that is functionally equivalent to the image file created with mkisofs. To do so, use dd with the device name as the input file and the name of the ISO to create as the output file: &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/cd0 of=file.iso bs=2048 The resulting image file can be burned to CD as described in . Using Data <acronym>CD</acronym>s Once an ISO has been burned to a CD, it can be mounted by specifying the file system type, the name of the device containing the CD, and an existing mount point: &prompt.root; mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt Since mount assumes that a file system is of type ufs, a Incorrect super block error will occur if -t cd9660 is not included when mounting a data CD. While any data CD can be mounted this way, disks with certain ISO 9660 extensions might behave oddly. For example, Joliet disks store all filenames in two-byte Unicode characters. If some non-English characters show up as question marks, specify the local charset with . For more information, refer to &man.mount.cd9660.8;. In order to do this character conversion with the help of , the kernel requires the cd9660_iconv.ko module to be loaded. This can be done either by adding this line to loader.conf: cd9660_iconv_load="YES" and then rebooting the machine, or by directly loading the module with kldload. Occasionally, Device not configured will be displayed when trying to mount a data CD. This usually means that the CD drive has not detected a disk in the tray, or that the drive is not visible on the bus. It can take a couple of seconds for a CD drive to detect media, so be patient. Sometimes, a SCSI CD drive may be missed because it did not have enough time to answer the bus reset. To resolve this, a custom kernel can be created which increases the default SCSI delay. Add the following option to the custom kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel using the instructions in : options SCSI_DELAY=15000 This tells the SCSI bus to pause 15 seconds during boot, to give the CD drive every possible chance to answer the bus reset. It is possible to burn a file directly to CD, without creating an ISO 9660 file system. This is known as burning a raw data CD and some people do this for backup purposes. This type of disk can not be mounted as a normal data CD. In order to retrieve the data burned to such a CD, the data must be read from the raw device node. For example, this command will extract a compressed tar file located on the second CD device into the current working directory: &prompt.root; tar xzvf /dev/cd1 In order to mount a data CD, the data must be written using mkisofs. Duplicating Audio <acronym>CD</acronym>s To duplicate an audio CD, extract the audio data from the CD to a series of files, then write these files to a blank CD. describes how to duplicate and burn an audio CD. If the &os; version is less than 10.0 and the device is ATAPI, the module must be first loaded using the instructions in . Duplicating an Audio <acronym>CD</acronym> The sysutils/cdrtools package or port installs cdda2wav. This command can be used to extract all of the audio tracks, with each track written to a separate WAV file in the current working directory: &prompt.user; cdda2wav -vall -B -Owav A device name does not need to be specified if there is only one CD device on the system. Refer to the cdda2wav manual page for instructions on how to specify a device and to learn more about the other options available for this command. Use cdrecord to write the .wav files: &prompt.user; cdrecord -v dev=2,0 -dao -useinfo *.wav Make sure that 2,0 is set appropriately, as described in . Creating and Using <acronym>DVD</acronym> Media Marc Fonvieille Contributed by Andy Polyakov With inputs from DVD burning Compared to the CD, the DVD is the next generation of optical media storage technology. The DVD can hold more data than any CD and is the standard for video publishing. Five physical recordable formats can be defined for a recordable DVD: DVD-R: This was the first DVD recordable format available. The DVD-R standard is defined by the DVD Forum. This format is write once. DVD-RW: This is the rewritable version of the DVD-R standard. A DVD-RW can be rewritten about 1000 times. DVD-RAM: This is a rewritable format which can be seen as a removable hard drive. However, this media is not compatible with most DVD-ROM drives and DVD-Video players as only a few DVD writers support the DVD-RAM format. Refer to for more information on DVD-RAM use. DVD+RW: This is a rewritable format defined by the DVD+RW Alliance. A DVD+RW can be rewritten about 1000 times. DVD+R: This format is the write once variation of the DVD+RW format. A single layer recordable DVD can hold up to 4,700,000,000 bytes which is actually 4.38 GB or 4485 MB as 1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes. A distinction must be made between the physical media and the application. For example, a DVD-Video is a specific file layout that can be written on any recordable DVD physical media such as DVD-R, DVD+R, or DVD-RW. Before choosing the type of media, ensure that both the burner and the DVD-Video player are compatible with the media under consideration. Configuration To perform DVD recording, use &man.growisofs.1;. This command is part of the sysutils/dvd+rw-tools utilities which support all DVD media types. These tools use the SCSI subsystem to access the devices, therefore ATAPI/CAM support must be loaded or statically compiled into the kernel. This support is not needed if the burner uses the USB interface. Refer to for more details on USB device configuration. DMA access must also be enabled for ATAPI devices, by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf: hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" Before attempting to use dvd+rw-tools, consult the Hardware Compatibility Notes. For a graphical user interface, consider using sysutils/k3b which provides a user friendly interface to &man.growisofs.1; and many other burning tools. Burning Data <acronym>DVD</acronym>s Since &man.growisofs.1; is a front-end to mkisofs, it will invoke &man.mkisofs.8; to create the file system layout and perform the write on the DVD. This means that an image of the data does not need to be created before the burning process. To burn to a DVD+R or a DVD-R the data in /path/to/data, use the following command: &prompt.root; growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0 -J -R /path/to/data In this example, is passed to &man.mkisofs.8; to create an ISO 9660 file system with Joliet and Rock Ridge extensions. Refer to &man.mkisofs.8; for more details. For the initial session recording, is used for both single and multiple sessions. Replace /dev/cd0, with the name of the DVD device. Using indicates that the disk will be closed and that the recording will be unappendable. This should also provide better media compatibility with DVD-ROM drives. To burn a pre-mastered image, such as imagefile.iso, use: &prompt.root; growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=imagefile.iso The write speed should be detected and automatically set according to the media and the drive being used. To force the write speed, use . Refer to &man.growisofs.1; for example usage. In order to support working files larger than 4.38GB, an UDF/ISO-9660 hybrid file system must be created by passing to &man.mkisofs.8; and all related programs, such as &man.growisofs.1;. This is required only when creating an ISO image file or when writing files directly to a disk. Since a disk created this way must be mounted as an UDF file system with &man.mount.udf.8;, it will be usable only on an UDF aware operating system. Otherwise it will look as if it contains corrupted files. To create this type of ISO file: &prompt.user; mkisofs -R -J -udf -iso-level 3 -o imagefile.iso /path/to/data To burn files directly to a disk: &prompt.root; growisofs -dvd-compat -udf -iso-level 3 -Z /dev/cd0 -J -R /path/to/data When an ISO image already contains large files, no additional options are required for &man.growisofs.1; to burn that image on a disk. Be sure to use an up-to-date version of sysutils/cdrtools, which contains &man.mkisofs.8;, as an older version may not contain large files support. If the latest version does not work, install sysutils/cdrtools-devel and read its &man.mkisofs.8;. Burning a <acronym>DVD</acronym>-Video DVD DVD-Video A DVD-Video is a specific file layout based on the ISO 9660 and micro-UDF (M-UDF) specifications. Since DVD-Video presents a specific data structure hierarchy, a particular program such as multimedia/dvdauthor is needed to author the DVD. If an image of the DVD-Video file system already exists, it can be burned in the same way as any other image. If dvdauthor was used to make the DVD and the result is in /path/to/video, the following command should be used to burn the DVD-Video: &prompt.root; growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -dvd-video /path/to/video is passed to &man.mkisofs.8; to instruct it to create a DVD-Video file system layout. This option implies the &man.growisofs.1; option. Using a <acronym>DVD+RW</acronym> DVD DVD+RW Unlike CD-RW, a virgin DVD+RW needs to be formatted before first use. It is recommended to let &man.growisofs.1; take care of this automatically whenever appropriate. However, it is possible to use dvd+rw-format to format the DVD+RW: &prompt.root; dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0 Only perform this operation once and keep in mind that only virgin DVD+RW medias need to be formatted. Once formatted, the DVD+RW can be burned as usual. To burn a totally new file system and not just append some data onto a DVD+RW, the media does not need to be blanked first. Instead, write over the previous recording like this: &prompt.root; growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -J -R /path/to/newdata The DVD+RW format supports appending data to a previous recording. This operation consists of merging a new session to the existing one as it is not considered to be multi-session writing. &man.growisofs.1; will grow the ISO 9660 file system present on the media. For example, to append data to a DVD+RW, use the following: &prompt.root; growisofs -M /dev/cd0 -J -R /path/to/nextdata The same &man.mkisofs.8; options used to burn the initial session should be used during next writes. Use for better media compatibility with DVD-ROM drives. When using DVD+RW, this option will not prevent the addition of data. To blank the media, use: &prompt.root; growisofs -Z /dev/cd0=/dev/zero Using a <acronym>DVD-RW</acronym> DVD DVD-RW A DVD-RW accepts two disc formats: incremental sequential and restricted overwrite. By default, DVD-RW discs are in sequential format. A virgin DVD-RW can be directly written without being formatted. However, a non-virgin DVD-RW in sequential format needs to be blanked before writing a new initial session. To blank a DVD-RW in sequential mode: &prompt.root; dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0 A full blanking using will take about one hour on a 1x media. A fast blanking can be performed using , if the DVD-RW will be recorded in Disk-At-Once (DAO) mode. To burn the DVD-RW in DAO mode, use the command: &prompt.root; growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -Z /dev/cd0=imagefile.iso Since &man.growisofs.1; automatically attempts to detect fast blanked media and engage DAO write, should not be required. One should instead use restricted overwrite mode with any DVD-RW as this format is more flexible than the default of incremental sequential. To write data on a sequential DVD-RW, use the same instructions as for the other DVD formats: &prompt.root; growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -J -R /path/to/data To append some data to a previous recording, use with &man.growisofs.1;. However, if data is appended on a DVD-RW in incremental sequential mode, a new session will be created on the disc and the result will be a multi-session disc. A DVD-RW in restricted overwrite format does not need to be blanked before a new initial session. Instead, overwrite the disc with . It is also possible to grow an existing ISO 9660 file system written on the disc with . The result will be a one-session DVD. To put a DVD-RW in restricted overwrite format, the following command must be used: &prompt.root; dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0 To change back to sequential format, use: &prompt.root; dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0 Multi-Session Few DVD-ROM drives support multi-session DVDs and most of the time only read the first session. DVD+R, DVD-R and DVD-RW in sequential format can accept multiple sessions. The notion of multiple sessions does not exist for the DVD+RW and the DVD-RW restricted overwrite formats. Using the following command after an initial non-closed session on a DVD+R, DVD-R, or DVD-RW in sequential format, will add a new session to the disc: &prompt.root; growisofs -M /dev/cd0 -J -R /path/to/nextdata Using this command with a DVD+RW or a DVD-RW in restricted overwrite mode will append data while merging the new session to the existing one. The result will be a single-session disc. Use this method to add data after an initial write on these types of media. Since some space on the media is used between each session to mark the end and start of sessions, one should add sessions with a large amount of data to optimize media space. The number of sessions is limited to 154 for a DVD+R, about 2000 for a DVD-R, and 127 for a DVD+R Double Layer. For More Information To obtain more information about a DVD, use dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cd0 while the disc in the specified drive. More information about dvd+rw-tools can be found in &man.growisofs.1;, on the dvd+rw-tools web site, and in the cdwrite mailing list archives. When creating a problem report related to the use of dvd+rw-tools, always include the output of dvd+rw-mediainfo. Using a <acronym>DVD-RAM</acronym> DVD DVD-RAM DVD-RAM writers can use either a SCSI or ATAPI interface. For ATAPI devices, DMA access has to be enabled by adding the following line to /boot/loader.conf: hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" A DVD-RAM can be seen as a removable hard drive. Like any other hard drive, the DVD-RAM must be formatted before it can be used. In this example, the whole disk space will be formatted with a standard UFS2 file system: &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/acd0 bs=2k count=1 &prompt.root; bsdlabel -Bw acd0 &prompt.root; newfs /dev/acd0 The DVD device, acd0, must be changed according to the configuration. Once the DVD-RAM has been formatted, it can be mounted as a normal hard drive: &prompt.root; mount /dev/acd0 /mnt Once mounted, the DVD-RAM will be both readable and writeable. Creating and Using Floppy Disks This section explains how to format a 3.5 inch floppy disk in &os;. Steps to Format a Floppy A floppy disk needs to be low-level formatted before it can be used. This is usually done by the vendor, but formatting is a good way to check media integrity. To low-level format the floppy disk on &os;, use &man.fdformat.1;. When using this utility, make note of any error messages, as these can help determine if the disk is good or bad. To format the floppy, insert a new 3.5 inch floppy disk into the first floppy drive and issue: &prompt.root; /usr/sbin/fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fd0 After low-level formatting the disk, create a disk label as it is needed by the system to determine the size of the disk and its geometry. The supported geometry values are listed in /etc/disktab. To write the disk label, use &man.bsdlabel.8;: &prompt.root; /sbin/bsdlabel -B -w /dev/fd0 fd1440 The floppy is now ready to be high-level formatted with a file system. The floppy's file system can be either UFS or FAT, where FAT is generally a better choice for floppies. To format the floppy with FAT, issue: &prompt.root; /sbin/newfs_msdos /dev/fd0 The disk is now ready for use. To use the floppy, mount it with &man.mount.msdosfs.8;. One can also install and use emulators/mtools from the Ports Collection. Backup Basics Implementing a backup plan is essential in order to have the ability to recover from disk failure, accidental file deletion, random file corruption, or complete machine destruction, including destruction of on-site backups. The backup type and schedule will vary, depending upon the importance of the data, the granularity needed for file restores, and the amount of acceptable downtime. Some possible backup techniques include: Archives of the whole system, backed up onto permanent, off-site media. This provides protection against all of the problems listed above, but is slow and inconvenient to restore from, especially for non-privileged users. File system snapshots, which are useful for restoring deleted files or previous versions of files. Copies of whole file systems or disks which are synchronized with another system on the network using a scheduled net/rsync. Hardware or software RAID, which minimizes or avoids downtime when a disk fails. Typically, a mix of backup techniques is used. For example, one could create a schedule to automate a weekly, full system backup that is stored off-site and to supplement this backup with hourly ZFS snapshots. In addition, one could make a manual backup of individual directories or files before making file edits or deletions. This section describes some of the utilities which can be used to create and manage backups on a &os; system. File System Backups backup software dump / restore dump restore The traditional &unix; programs for backing up a file system are &man.dump.8;, which creates the backup, and &man.restore.8;, which restores the backup. These utilities work at the disk block level, below the abstractions of the files, links, and directories that are created by file systems. Unlike other backup software, dump backs up an entire file system and is unable to backup only part of a file system or a directory tree that spans multiple file systems. Instead of writing files and directories, dump writes the raw data blocks that comprise files and directories. If dump is used on the root directory, it will not back up /home, /usr or many other directories since these are typically mount points for other file systems or symbolic links into those file systems. When used to restore data, restore stores temporary files in /tmp/ by default. When using a recovery disk with a small /tmp, set TMPDIR to a directory with more free space in order for the restore to succeed. When using dump, be aware that some quirks remain from its early days in Version 6 of AT&T &unix;,circa 1975. The default parameters assume a backup to a 9-track tape, rather than to another type of media or to the high-density tapes available today. These defaults must be overridden on the command line. .rhosts It is possible to backup a file system across the network to a another system or to a tape drive attached to another computer. While the &man.rdump.8; and &man.rrestore.8; utilities can be used for this purpose, they are not considered to be secure. Instead, one can use dump and restore in a more secure fashion over an SSH connection. This example creates a full, compressed backup of /usr and sends the backup file to the specified host over a SSH connection. Using <command>dump</command> over <application>ssh</application> &prompt.root; /sbin/dump -0uan -f - /usr | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish \ targetuser@targetmachine.example.com dd of=/mybigfiles/dump-usr-l0.gz This example sets RSH in order to write the backup to a tape drive on a remote system over a SSH connection: Using <command>dump</command> over <application>ssh</application> with <envar>RSH</envar> Set &prompt.root; env RSH=/usr/bin/ssh /sbin/dump -0uan -f targetuser@targetmachine.example.com:/dev/sa0 /usr Directory Backups backup software tar Several built-in utilities are available for backing up and restoring specified files and directories as needed. A good choice for making a backup of all of the files in a directory is &man.tar.1;. This utility dates back to Version 6 of AT&T &unix; and by default assumes a recursive backup to a local tape device. Switches can be used to instead specify the name of a backup file. tar This example creates a compressed backup of the current directory and saves it to /tmp/mybackup.tgz. When creating a backup file, make sure that the backup is not saved to the same directory that is being backed up. Backing Up the Current Directory with <command>tar</command> &prompt.root; tar czvf /tmp/mybackup.tgz . To restore the entire backup, cd into the directory to restore into and specify the name of the backup. Note that this will overwrite any newer versions of files in the restore directory. When in doubt, restore to a temporary directory or specify the name of the file within the backup to restore. Restoring Up the Current Directory with <command>tar</command> &prompt.root; tar xzvf /tmp/mybackup.tgz There are dozens of available switches which are described in &man.tar.1;. This utility also supports the use of exclude patterns to specify which files should not be included when backing up the specified directory or restoring files from a backup. backup software cpio To create a backup using a specified list of files and directories, &man.cpio.1; is a good choice. Unlike tar, cpio does not know how to walk the directory tree and it must be provided the list of files to backup. For example, a list of files can be created using ls or find. This example creates a recursive listing of the current directory which is then piped to cpio in order to create an output backup file named /tmp/mybackup.cpio. Using <command>ls</command> and <command>cpio</command> to Make a Recursive Backup of the Current Directory &prompt.root; ls -R | cpio -ovF /tmp/mybackup.cpio backup software pax pax POSIX IEEE A backup utility which tries to bridge the features provided by tar and cpio is &man.pax.1;. Over the years, the various versions of tar and cpio became slightly incompatible. &posix; created pax which attempts to read and write many of the various cpio and tar formats, plus new formats of its own. The pax equivalent to the previous examples would be: Backing Up the Current Directory with <command>pax</command> &prompt.root; pax -wf /tmp/mybackup.pax . Using Data Tapes for Backups tape media While tape technology has continued to evolve, modern backup systems tend to combine off-site backups with local removable media. &os; supports any tape drive that uses SCSI, such as LTO or DAT. There is limited support for SATA and USB tape drives. For SCSI tape devices, &os; uses the &man.sa.4; driver and the /dev/sa0, /dev/nsa0, and /dev/esa0 devices. The physical device name is /dev/sa0. When /dev/nsa0 is used, the backup application will not rewind the tape after writing a file, which allows writing more than one file to a tape. Using /dev/esa0 ejects the tape after the device is closed. In &os;, mt is used to control operations of the tape drive, such as seeking through files on a tape or writing tape control marks to the tape. For example, the first three files on a tape can be preserved by skipping past them before writing a new file: &prompt.root; mt -f /dev/nsa0 fsf 3 This utility supports many operations. Refer to &man.mt.1; for details. To write a single file to tape using tar, specify the name of the tape device and the file to backup: &prompt.root; tar cvf /dev/sa0 file To recover files from a tar archive on tape into the current directory: &prompt.root; tar xvf /dev/sa0 To backup a UFS file system, use dump. This examples backs up /usr without rewinding the tape when finished: &prompt.root; dump -0aL -b64 -f /dev/nsa0 /usr To interactively restore files from a dump file on tape into the current directory: &prompt.root; restore -i -f /dev/nsa0 Third-Party Backup Utilities backup software The &os; Ports Collection provides many third-party utilities which can be used to schedule the creation of backups, simplify tape backup, and make backups easier and more convenient. Many of these applications are client/server based and can be used to automate the backups of a single system or all of the computers in a network. Popular utilities include Amanda, Bacula, rsync, and duplicity. Emergency Recovery In addition to regular backups, it is recommended to perform the following steps as part of an emergency preparedness plan. bsdlabel Create a print copy of the output of the following commands: gpart show more /etc/fstab dmesg livefs CD Store this printout and a copy of the installation media in a secure location. Should an emergency restore be needed, boot into the installation media and select Live CD to access a rescue shell. This rescue mode can be used to view the current state of the system, and if needed, to reformat disks and restore data from backups. The installation media for &os;/&arch.i386; &rel2.current;-RELEASE does not include a rescue shell. For this version, instead download and burn a Livefs CD image from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/&arch.i386;/ISO-IMAGES/&rel2.current;/&os;-&rel2.current;-RELEASE-&arch.i386;-livefs.iso. Next, test the rescue shell and the backups. Make notes of the procedure. Store these notes with the media, the printouts, and the backups. These notes may prevent the inadvertent destruction of the backups while under the stress of performing an emergency recovery. For an added measure of security, store the latest backup at a remote location which is physically separated from the computers and disk drives by a significant distance. Memory Disks Marc Fonvieille Reorganized and enhanced by In addition to physical disks, &os; also supports the creation and use of memory disks. One possible use for a memory disk is to access the contents of an ISO file system without the overhead of first burning it to a CD or DVD, then mounting the CD/DVD media. In &os;, the &man.md.4; driver is used to provide support for memory disks. The GENERIC kernel includes this driver. When using a custom kernel configuration file, ensure it includes this line: device md Attaching and Detaching Existing Images disks memory To mount an existing file system image, use mdconfig to specify the name of the ISO file and a free unit number. Then, refer to that unit number to mount it on an existing mount point. Once mounted, the files in the ISO will appear in the mount point. This example attaches diskimage.iso to the memory device /dev/md0 then mounts that memory device on /mnt: &prompt.root; mdconfig -f diskimage.iso -u 0 &prompt.root; mount /dev/md0 /mnt If a unit number is not specified with , mdconfig will automatically allocate an unused memory device and output the name of the allocated unit, such as md4. Refer to &man.mdconfig.8; for more details about this command and its options. disks detaching a memory disk When a memory disk is no longer in use, its resources should be released back to the system. First, unmount the file system, then use mdconfig to detach the disk from the system and release its resources. To continue this example: &prompt.root; umount /mnt &prompt.root; mdconfig -d -u 0 To determine if any memory disks are still attached to the system, type mdconfig -l. Creating a File- or Memory-Backed Memory Disk disks memory file system &os; also supports memory disks where the storage to use is allocated from either a hard disk or an area of memory. The first method is commonly referred to as a file-backed file system and the second method as a memory-backed file system. Both types can be created using mdconfig. To create a new memory-backed file system, specify a type of swap and the size of the memory disk to create. Then, format the memory disk with a file system and mount as usual. This example creates a 5M memory disk on unit 1. That memory disk is then formatted with the UFS file system before it is mounted: &prompt.root; mdconfig -a -t swap -s 5m -u 1 &prompt.root; newfs -U md1 /dev/md1: 5.0MB (10240 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 4 cylinder groups of 1.27MB, 81 blks, 192 inodes. with soft updates super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 2752, 5344, 7936 &prompt.root; mount /dev/md1 /mnt &prompt.root; df /mnt Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md1 4718 4 4338 0% /mnt To create a new file-backed memory disk, first allocate an area of disk to use. This example creates an empty 5K file named newimage: &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/zero of=newimage bs=1k count=5k 5120+0 records in 5120+0 records out Next, attach that file to a memory disk, label the memory disk and format it with the UFS file system, mount the memory disk, and verify the size of the file-backed disk: &prompt.root; mdconfig -f newimage -u 0 &prompt.root; bsdlabel -w md0 auto &prompt.root; newfs md0a /dev/md0a: 5.0MB (10224 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 4 cylinder groups of 1.25MB, 80 blks, 192 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 2720, 5280, 7840 &prompt.root; mount /dev/md0a /mnt &prompt.root; df /mnt Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md0a 4710 4 4330 0% /mnt It takes several commands to create a file- or memory-backed file system using mdconfig. &os; also comes with mdmfs which automatically configures a memory disk, formats it with the UFS file system, and mounts it. For example, after creating newimage with dd, this one command is equivalent to running the bsdlabel, newfs, and mount commands shown above: &prompt.root; mdmfs -F newimage -s 5m md0 /mnt To instead create a new memory-based memory disk with mdmfs, use this one command: &prompt.root; mdmfs -s 5m md1 /mnt If the unit number is not specified, mdmfs will automatically select an unused memory device. For more details about mdmfs, refer to &man.mdmfs.8;. File System Snapshots Tom Rhodes Contributed by file systems snapshots &os; offers a feature in conjunction with Soft Updates: file system snapshots. UFS snapshots allow a user to create images of specified file systems, and treat them as a file. Snapshot files must be created in the file system that the action is performed on, and a user may create no more than 20 snapshots per file system. Active snapshots are recorded in the superblock so they are persistent across unmount and remount operations along with system reboots. When a snapshot is no longer required, it can be removed using &man.rm.1;. While snapshots may be removed in any order, all the used space may not be acquired because another snapshot will possibly claim some of the released blocks. The un-alterable file flag is set by &man.mksnap.ffs.8; after initial creation of a snapshot file. &man.unlink.1; makes an exception for snapshot files since it allows them to be removed. Snapshots are created using &man.mount.8;. To place a snapshot of /var in the file /var/snapshot/snap, use the following command: &prompt.root; mount -u -o snapshot /var/snapshot/snap /var Alternatively, use &man.mksnap.ffs.8; to create the snapshot: &prompt.root; mksnap_ffs /var /var/snapshot/snap One can find snapshot files on a file system, such as /var, using &man.find.1;: &prompt.root; find /var -flags snapshot Once a snapshot has been created, it has several uses: Some administrators will use a snapshot file for backup purposes, because the snapshot can be transferred to CDs or tape. The file system integrity checker, &man.fsck.8;, may be run on the snapshot. Assuming that the file system was clean when it was mounted, this should always provide a clean and unchanging result. Running &man.dump.8; on the snapshot will produce a dump file that is consistent with the file system and the timestamp of the snapshot. &man.dump.8; can also take a snapshot, create a dump image, and then remove the snapshot in one command by using . The snapshot can be mounted as a frozen image of the file system. To &man.mount.8; the snapshot /var/snapshot/snap run: &prompt.root; mdconfig -a -t vnode -o readonly -f /var/snapshot/snap -u 4 &prompt.root; mount -r /dev/md4 /mnt The frozen /var is now available through /mnt. Everything will initially be in the same state it was during the snapshot creation time. The only exception is that any earlier snapshots will appear as zero length files. To unmount the snapshot, use: &prompt.root; umount /mnt &prompt.root; mdconfig -d -u 4 For more information about and file system snapshots, including technical papers, visit Marshall Kirk McKusick's website at http://www.mckusick.com/. Disk Quotas accounting disk space disk quotas Disk quotas can be used to limit the amount of disk space or the number of files a user or members of a group may allocate on a per-file system basis. This prevents one user or group of users from consuming all of the available disk space. This section describes how to configure disk quotas for the UFS file system. To configure quotas on the ZFS file system, refer to Enabling Disk Quotas To determine if the &os; kernel provides support for disk quotas: &prompt.user; sysctl kern.features.ufs_quota kern.features.ufs_quota: 1 In this example, the 1 indicates quota support. If the value is instead 0, add the following line to a custom kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel using the instructions in : options QUOTA Next, enable disk quotas in /etc/rc.conf: quota_enable="YES" disk quotas checking Normally on bootup, the quota integrity of each file system is checked by &man.quotacheck.8;. This program insures that the data in the quota database properly reflects the data on the file system. This is a time consuming process that will significantly affect the time the system takes to boot. To skip this step, add this variable to /etc/rc.conf: check_quotas="NO" Finally, edit /etc/fstab to enable disk quotas on a per-file system basis. To enable per-user quotas on a file system, add to the options field in the /etc/fstab entry for the file system to enable quotas on. For example: /dev/da1s2g /home ufs rw,userquota 1 2 To enable group quotas, use instead. To enable both user and group quotas, separate the options with a comma: /dev/da1s2g /home ufs rw,userquota,groupquota 1 2 By default, quota files are stored in the root directory of the file system as quota.user and quota.group. Refer to &man.fstab.5; for more information. Specifying an alternate location for the quota files is not recommended. Once the configuration is complete, reboot the system and /etc/rc will automatically run the appropriate commands to create the initial quota files for all of the quotas enabled in /etc/fstab. In the normal course of operations, there should be no need to manually run &man.quotacheck.8;, &man.quotaon.8;, or &man.quotaoff.8;. However, one should read these manual pages to be familiar with their operation. Setting Quota Limits disk quotas limits To verify that quotas are enabled, run: &prompt.root; quota -v There should be a one line summary of disk usage and current quota limits for each file system that quotas are enabled on. The system is now ready to be assigned quota limits with edquota. Several options are available to enforce limits on the amount of disk space a user or group may allocate, and how many files they may create. Allocations can be limited based on disk space (block quotas), number of files (inode quotas), or a combination of both. Each limit is further broken down into two categories: hard and soft limits. hard limit A hard limit may not be exceeded. Once a user reaches a hard limit, no further allocations can be made on that file system by that user. For example, if the user has a hard limit of 500 kbytes on a file system and is currently using 490 kbytes, the user can only allocate an additional 10 kbytes. Attempting to allocate an additional 11 kbytes will fail. soft limit Soft limits can be exceeded for a limited amount of time, known as the grace period, which is one week by default. If a user stays over their limit longer than the grace period, the soft limit turns into a hard limit and no further allocations are allowed. When the user drops back below the soft limit, the grace period is reset. In the following example, the quota for the test account is being edited. When edquota is invoked, the editor specified by EDITOR is opened in order to edit the quota limits. The default editor is set to vi. &prompt.root; edquota -u test Quotas for user test: /usr: kbytes in use: 65, limits (soft = 50, hard = 75) inodes in use: 7, limits (soft = 50, hard = 60) /usr/var: kbytes in use: 0, limits (soft = 50, hard = 75) inodes in use: 0, limits (soft = 50, hard = 60) There are normally two lines for each file system that has quotas enabled. One line represents the block limits and the other represents the inode limits. Change the value to modify the quota limit. For example, to raise the block limit on /usr to a soft limit of 500 and a hard limit of 600, change the values in that line as follows: /usr: kbytes in use: 65, limits (soft = 500, hard = 600) The new quota limits take effect upon exiting the editor. Sometimes it is desirable to set quota limits on a range of users. This can be done by first assigning the desired quota limit to a user. Then, use to duplicate that quota to a specified range of user IDs (UIDs). The following command will duplicate those quota limits for UIDs 10,000 through 19,999: &prompt.root; edquota -p test 10000-19999 For more information, refer to &man.edquota.8;. Checking Quota Limits and Disk Usage disk quotas checking To check individual user or group quotas and disk usage, use &man.quota.1;. A user may only examine their own quota and the quota of a group they are a member of. Only the superuser may view all user and group quotas. To get a summary of all quotas and disk usage for file systems with quotas enabled, use &man.repquota.8;. Normally, file systems that the user is not using any disk space on will not show in the output of quota, even if the user has a quota limit assigned for that file system. Use to display those file systems. The following is sample output from quota -v for a user that has quota limits on two file systems. Disk quotas for user test (uid 1002): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr 65* 50 75 5days 7 50 60 /usr/var 0 50 75 0 50 60 grace period In this example, the user is currently 15 kbytes over the soft limit of 50 kbytes on /usr and has 5 days of grace period left. The asterisk * indicates that the user is currently over the quota limit. Quotas over NFS NFS Quotas are enforced by the quota subsystem on the NFS server. The &man.rpc.rquotad.8; daemon makes quota information available to quota on NFS clients, allowing users on those machines to see their quota statistics. On the NFS server, enable rpc.rquotad by removing the # from this line in /etc/inetd.conf: rquotad/1 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad rpc.rquotad Then, restart inetd: &prompt.root; service inetd restart Encrypting Disk Partitions Lucky Green Contributed by
shamrock@cypherpunks.to
disks encrypting &os; offers excellent online protections against unauthorized data access. File permissions and Mandatory Access Control (MAC) help prevent unauthorized users from accessing data while the operating system is active and the computer is powered up. However, the permissions enforced by the operating system are irrelevant if an attacker has physical access to a computer and can move the computer's hard drive to another system to copy and analyze the data. Regardless of how an attacker may have come into possession of a hard drive or powered-down computer, the GEOM-based cryptographic subsystems built into &os; are able to protect the data on the computer's file systems against even highly-motivated attackers with significant resources. Unlike encryption methods that encrypt individual files, the built-in gbde and geli utilities can be used to transparently encrypt entire file systems. No cleartext ever touches the hard drive's platter. This chapter demonstrates how to create an encrypted file system on &os;. It first demonstrates the process using gbde and then demonstrates the same example using geli. Disk Encryption with <application>gbde</application> The objective of the &man.gbde.4; facility is to provide a formidable challenge for an attacker to gain access to the contents of a cold storage device. However, if the computer is compromised while up and running and the storage device is actively attached, or the attacker has access to a valid passphrase, it offers no protection to the contents of the storage device. Thus, it is important to provide physical security while the system is running and to protect the passphrase used by the encryption mechanism. This facility provides several barriers to protect the data stored in each disk sector. It encrypts the contents of a disk sector using 128-bit AES in CBC mode. Each sector on the disk is encrypted with a different AES key. For more information on the cryptographic design, including how the sector keys are derived from the user-supplied passphrase, refer to &man.gbde.4;. &os; provides a kernel module for gbde which can be loaded with this command: &prompt.root; kldload geom_bde If using a custom kernel configuration file, ensure it contains this line: options GEOM_BDE The following example demonstrates adding a new hard drive to a system that will hold a single encrypted partition that will be mounted as /private. Encrypting a Partition with <application>gbde</application> Add the New Hard Drive Install the new drive to the system as explained in . For the purposes of this example, a new hard drive partition has been added as /dev/ad4s1c and /dev/ad0s1* represents the existing standard &os; partitions. &prompt.root; ls /dev/ad* /dev/ad0 /dev/ad0s1b /dev/ad0s1e /dev/ad4s1 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s1c /dev/ad0s1f /dev/ad4s1c /dev/ad0s1a /dev/ad0s1d /dev/ad4 Create a Directory to Hold <command>gbde</command> Lock Files &prompt.root; mkdir /etc/gbde The gbde lock file contains information that gbde requires to access encrypted partitions. Without access to the lock file, gbde will not be able to decrypt the data contained in the encrypted partition without significant manual intervention which is not supported by the software. Each encrypted partition uses a separate lock file. Initialize the <command>gbde</command> Partition A gbde partition must be initialized before it can be used. This initialization needs to be performed only once. This command will open the default editor, in order to set various configuration options in a template. For use with the UFS file system, set the sector_size to 2048: &prompt.root; gbde init /dev/ad4s1c -i -L /etc/gbde/ad4s1c.lock # $FreeBSD: src/sbin/gbde/template.txt,v 1.1.36.1 2009/08/03 08:13:06 kensmith Exp $ # # Sector size is the smallest unit of data which can be read or written. # Making it too small decreases performance and decreases available space. # Making it too large may prevent filesystems from working. 512 is the # minimum and always safe. For UFS, use the fragment size # sector_size = 2048 [...] Once the edit is saved, the user will be asked twice to type the passphrase used to secure the data. The passphrase must be the same both times. The ability of gbde to protect data depends entirely on the quality of the passphrase. For tips on how to select a secure passphrase that is easy to remember, see http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.htm. This initialization creates a lock file for the gbde partition. In this example, it is stored as /etc/gbde/ad4s1c.lock. Lock files must end in .lock in order to be correctly detected by the /etc/rc.d/gbde start up script. Lock files must be backed up together with the contents of any encrypted partitions. Without the lock file, the legitimate owner will be unable to access the data on the encrypted partition. Attach the Encrypted Partition to the Kernel &prompt.root; gbde attach /dev/ad4s1c -l /etc/gbde/ad4s1c.lock This command will prompt to input the passphrase that was selected during the initialization of the encrypted partition. The new encrypted device will appear in /dev as /dev/device_name.bde: &prompt.root; ls /dev/ad* /dev/ad0 /dev/ad0s1b /dev/ad0s1e /dev/ad4s1 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s1c /dev/ad0s1f /dev/ad4s1c /dev/ad0s1a /dev/ad0s1d /dev/ad4 /dev/ad4s1c.bde Create a File System on the Encrypted Device Once the encrypted device has been attached to the kernel, a file system can be created on the device. This example creates a UFS file system with soft updates enabled. Be sure to specify the partition which has a *.bde extension: &prompt.root; newfs -U /dev/ad4s1c.bde Mount the Encrypted Partition Create a mount point and mount the encrypted file system: &prompt.root; mkdir /private &prompt.root; mount /dev/ad4s1c.bde /private Verify That the Encrypted File System is Available The encrypted file system should now be visible and available for use: &prompt.user; df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 1037M 72M 883M 8% / /devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1f 8.1G 55K 7.5G 0% /home /dev/ad0s1e 1037M 1.1M 953M 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1d 6.1G 1.9G 3.7G 35% /usr /dev/ad4s1c.bde 150G 4.1K 138G 0% /private After each boot, any encrypted file systems must be manually re-attached to the kernel, checked for errors, and mounted, before the file systems can be used. To configure these steps, add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf: gbde_autoattach_all="YES" gbde_devices="ad4s1c" gbde_lockdir="/etc/gbde" This requires that the passphrase be entered at the console at boot time. After typing the correct passphrase, the encrypted partition will be mounted automatically. Additional gbde boot options are available and listed in &man.rc.conf.5;. sysinstall is incompatible with gbde-encrypted devices. All *.bde devices must be detached from the kernel before starting sysinstall or it will crash during its initial probing for devices. To detach the encrypted device used in the example, use the following command: &prompt.root; gbde detach /dev/ad4s1c Disk Encryption with <command>geli</command> Daniel Gerzo Contributed by An alternative cryptographic GEOM class is available using geli. This control utility adds some features and uses a different scheme for doing cryptographic work. It provides the following features: Utilizes the &man.crypto.9; framework and automatically uses cryptographic hardware when it is available. Supports multiple cryptographic algorithms such as AES, Blowfish, and 3DES. Allows the root partition to be encrypted. The passphrase used to access the encrypted root partition will be requested during system boot. Allows the use of two independent keys. It is fast as it performs simple sector-to-sector encryption. Allows backup and restore of master keys. If a user destroys their keys, it is still possible to get access to the data by restoring keys from the backup. Allows a disk to attach with a random, one-time key which is useful for swap partitions and temporary file systems. More features and usage examples can be found in &man.geli.8;. The following example describes how to generate a key file which will be used as part of the master key for the encrypted provider mounted under /private. The key file will provide some random data used to encrypt the master key. The master key will also be protected by a passphrase. The provider's sector size will be 4kB. The example describes how to attach to the geli provider, create a file system on it, mount it, work with it, and finally, how to detach it. Encrypting a Partition with <command>geli</command> Load <command>geli</command> Support Support for geli is available as a loadable kernel module. To configure the system to automatically load the module at boot time, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: geom_eli_load="YES" To load the kernel module now: &prompt.root; kldload geom_eli For a custom kernel, ensure the kernel configuration file contains these lines: options GEOM_ELI device crypto Generate the Master Key The following commands generate a master key (/root/da2.key) that is protected with a passphrase. The data source for the key file is /dev/random and the sector size of the provider (/dev/da2.eli) is 4kB as a bigger sector size provides better performance: &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/random of=/root/da2.key bs=64 count=1 &prompt.root; geli init -s 4096 -K /root/da2.key /dev/da2 Enter new passphrase: Reenter new passphrase: It is not mandatory to use both a passphrase and a key file as either method of securing the master key can be used in isolation. If the key file is given as -, standard input will be used. For example, this command generates three key files: &prompt.root; cat keyfile1 keyfile2 keyfile3 | geli init -K - /dev/da2 Attach the Provider with the Generated Key To attach the provider, specify the key file, the name of the disk, and the passphrase: &prompt.root; geli attach -k /root/da2.key /dev/da2 Enter passphrase: This creates a new device with an .eli extension: &prompt.root; ls /dev/da2* /dev/da2 /dev/da2.eli Create the New File System Next, format the device with the UFS file system and mount it on an existing mount point: &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/da2.eli bs=1m &prompt.root; newfs /dev/da2.eli &prompt.root; mount /dev/da2.eli /private The encrypted file system should now be available for use: &prompt.root; df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 248M 89M 139M 38% / /devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1f 7.7G 2.3G 4.9G 32% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 989M 1.5M 909M 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1e 3.9G 1.3G 2.3G 35% /var /dev/da2.eli 150G 4.1K 138G 0% /private Once the work on the encrypted partition is done, and the /private partition is no longer needed, it is prudent to put the device into cold storage by unmounting and detaching the geli encrypted partition from the kernel: &prompt.root; umount /private &prompt.root; geli detach da2.eli A rc.d script is provided to simplify the mounting of geli-encrypted devices at boot time. For this example, add these lines to /etc/rc.conf: geli_devices="da2" geli_da2_flags="-k /root/da2.key" This configures /dev/da2 as a geli provider with a master key of /root/da2.key. The system will automatically detach the provider from the kernel before the system shuts down. During the startup process, the script will prompt for the passphrase before attaching the provider. Other kernel messages might be shown before and after the password prompt. If the boot process seems to stall, look carefully for the password prompt among the other messages. Once the correct passphrase is entered, the provider is attached. The file system is then mounted, typically by an entry in /etc/fstab. Refer to for instructions on how to configure a file system to mount at boot time. Encrypting Swap Christian Brueffer Written by swap encrypting Like the encryption of disk partitions, encryption of swap space is used to protect sensitive information. Consider an application that deals with passwords. As long as these passwords stay in physical memory, they are not written to disk and will be cleared after a reboot. However, if &os; starts swapping out memory pages to free space, the passwords may be written to the disk unencrypted. Encrypting swap space can be a solution for this scenario. This section demonstrates how to configure an encrypted swap partition using &man.gbde.8; or &man.geli.8; encryption. It assumes that /dev/ada0s1b is the swap partition. Configuring Encrypted Swap Swap partitions are not encrypted by default and should be cleared of any sensitive data before continuing. To overwrite the current swap partition with random garbage, execute the following command: &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/ada0s1b bs=1m To encrypt the swap partition using &man.gbde.8;, add the .bde suffix to the swap line in /etc/fstab: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ada0s1b.bde none swap sw 0 0 To instead encrypt the swap partition using &man.geli.8;, use the .eli suffix: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ada0s1b.eli none swap sw 0 0 By default, &man.geli.8; uses the AES algorithm with a key length of 128 bits. Normally the default settings will suffice. If desired, these defaults can be altered in the options field in /etc/fstab. The possible flags are: aalgo Data integrity verification algorithm used to ensure that the encrypted data has not been tampered with. See &man.geli.8; for a list of supported algorithms. ealgo Encryption algorithm used to protect the data. See &man.geli.8; for a list of supported algorithms. keylen The length of the key used for the encryption algorithm. See &man.geli.8; for the key lengths that are supported by each encryption algorithm. sectorsize The size of the blocks data is broken into before it is encrypted. Larger sector sizes increase performance at the cost of higher storage overhead. The recommended size is 4096 bytes. This example configures an encrypted swap partition using the Blowfish algorithm with a key length of 128 bits and a sectorsize of 4 kilobytes: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ada0s1b.eli none swap sw,ealgo=blowfish,keylen=128,sectorsize=4096 0 0 Encrypted Swap Verification Once the system has rebooted, proper operation of the encrypted swap can be verified using swapinfo. If &man.gbde.8; is being used: &prompt.user; swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ada0s1b.bde 542720 0 542720 0% If &man.geli.8; is being used: &prompt.user; swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ada0s1b.eli 542720 0 542720 0% Highly Available Storage (<acronym>HAST</acronym>) Daniel Gerzo Contributed by Freddie Cash With inputs from Pawel Jakub Dawidek Michael W. Lucas Viktor Petersson HAST high availability High availability is one of the main requirements in serious business applications and highly-available storage is a key component in such environments. In &os;, the Highly Available STorage (HAST) framework allows transparent storage of the same data across several physically separated machines connected by a TCP/IP network. HAST can be understood as a network-based RAID1 (mirror), and is similar to the DRBD® storage system used in the GNU/&linux; platform. In combination with other high-availability features of &os; like CARP, HAST makes it possible to build a highly-available storage cluster that is resistant to hardware failures. The following are the main features of HAST: Can be used to mask I/O errors on local hard drives. File system agnostic as it works with any file system supported by &os;. Efficient and quick resynchronization as only the blocks that were modified during the downtime of a node are synchronized. Can be used in an already deployed environment to add additional redundancy. Together with CARP, Heartbeat, or other tools, it can be used to build a robust and durable storage system. After reading this section, you will know: What HAST is, how it works, and which features it provides. How to set up and use HAST on &os;. How to integrate CARP and &man.devd.8; to build a robust storage system. Before reading this section, you should: Understand &unix; and &os; basics (). Know how to configure network interfaces and other core &os; subsystems (). Have a good understanding of &os; networking (). The HAST project was sponsored by The &os; Foundation with support from http://www.omc.net/ and http://www.transip.nl/. HAST Operation HAST provides synchronous block-level replication between two physical machines: the primary, also known as the master node, and the secondary, or slave node. These two machines together are referred to as a cluster. Since HAST works in a primary-secondary configuration, it allows only one of the cluster nodes to be active at any given time. The primary node, also called active, is the one which will handle all the I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. The secondary node is automatically synchronized from the primary node. The physical components of the HAST system are the local disk on primary node, and the disk on the remote, secondary node. HAST operates synchronously on a block level, making it transparent to file systems and applications. HAST provides regular GEOM providers in /dev/hast/ for use by other tools or applications. There is no difference between using HAST-provided devices and raw disks or partitions. Each write, delete, or flush operation is sent to both the local disk and to the remote disk over TCP/IP. Each read operation is served from the local disk, unless the local disk is not up-to-date or an I/O error occurs. In such cases, the read operation is sent to the secondary node. HAST tries to provide fast failure recovery. For this reason, it is important to reduce synchronization time after a node's outage. To provide fast synchronization, HAST manages an on-disk bitmap of dirty extents and only synchronizes those during a regular synchronization, with an exception of the initial sync. There are many ways to handle synchronization. HAST implements several replication modes to handle different synchronization methods: memsync: This mode reports a write operation as completed when the local write operation is finished and when the remote node acknowledges data arrival, but before actually storing the data. The data on the remote node will be stored directly after sending the acknowledgement. This mode is intended to reduce latency, but still provides good reliability. This mode is the default. fullsync: This mode reports a write operation as completed when both the local write and the remote write complete. This is the safest and the slowest replication mode. async: This mode reports a write operation as completed when the local write completes. This is the fastest and the most dangerous replication mode. It should only be used when replicating to a distant node where latency is too high for other modes. HAST Configuration The HAST framework consists of several components: The &man.hastd.8; daemon which provides data synchronization. When this daemon is started, it will automatically load geom_gate.ko. The userland management utility, &man.hastctl.8;. The &man.hast.conf.5; configuration file. This file must exist before starting hastd. Users who prefer to statically build GEOM_GATE support into the kernel should add this line to the custom kernel configuration file, then rebuild the kernel using the instructions in : options GEOM_GATE The following example describes how to configure two nodes in master-slave/primary-secondary operation using HAST to replicate the data between the two. The nodes will be called hasta, with an IP address of 172.16.0.1, and hastb, with an IP address of 172.16.0.2. Both nodes will have a dedicated hard drive /dev/ad6 of the same size for HAST operation. The HAST pool, sometimes referred to as a resource or the GEOM provider in /dev/hast/, will be called test. Configuration of HAST is done using /etc/hast.conf. This file should be identical on both nodes. The simplest configuration is: resource test { on hasta { local /dev/ad6 remote 172.16.0.2 } on hastb { local /dev/ad6 remote 172.16.0.1 } } For more advanced configuration, refer to &man.hast.conf.5;. It is also possible to use host names in the remote statements if the hosts are resolvable and defined either in /etc/hosts or in the local DNS. Once the configuration exists on both nodes, the HAST pool can be created. Run these commands on both nodes to place the initial metadata onto the local disk and to start &man.hastd.8;: &prompt.root; hastctl create test &prompt.root; service hastd onestart It is not possible to use GEOM providers with an existing file system or to convert an existing storage to a HAST-managed pool. This procedure needs to store some metadata on the provider and there will not be enough required space available on an existing provider. A HAST node's primary or secondary role is selected by an administrator, or software like Heartbeat, using &man.hastctl.8;. On the primary node, hasta, issue this command: &prompt.root; hastctl role primary test Run this command on the secondary node, hastb: &prompt.root; hastctl role secondary test Verify the result by running hastctl on each node: &prompt.root; hastctl status test Check the status line in the output. If it says degraded, something is wrong with the configuration file. It should say complete on each node, meaning that the synchronization between the nodes has started. The synchronization completes when hastctl status reports 0 bytes of dirty extents. The next step is to create a file system on the GEOM provider and mount it. This must be done on the primary node. Creating the file system can take a few minutes, depending on the size of the hard drive. This example creates a UFS file system on /dev/hast/test: &prompt.root; newfs -U /dev/hast/test &prompt.root; mkdir /hast/test &prompt.root; mount /dev/hast/test /hast/test Once the HAST framework is configured properly, the final step is to make sure that HAST is started automatically during system boot. Add this line to /etc/rc.conf: hastd_enable="YES" Failover Configuration The goal of this example is to build a robust storage system which is resistant to the failure of any given node. If the primary node fails, the secondary node is there to take over seamlessly, check and mount the file system, and continue to work without missing a single bit of data. To accomplish this task, the Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) is used to provide for automatic failover at the IP layer. CARP allows multiple hosts on the same network segment to share an IP address. Set up CARP on both nodes of the cluster according to the documentation available in . In this example, each node will have its own management IP address and a shared IP address of 172.16.0.254. The primary HAST node of the cluster must be the master CARP node. The HAST pool created in the previous section is now ready to be exported to the other hosts on the network. This can be accomplished by exporting it through NFS or Samba, using the shared IP address 172.16.0.254. The only problem which remains unresolved is an automatic failover should the primary node fail. In the event of CARP interfaces going up or down, the &os; operating system generates a &man.devd.8; event, making it possible to watch for state changes on the CARP interfaces. A state change on the CARP interface is an indication that one of the nodes failed or came back online. These state change events make it possible to run a script which will automatically handle the HAST failover. To catch state changes on the CARP interfaces, add this configuration to /etc/devd.conf on each node: notify 30 { match "system" "IFNET"; match "subsystem" "carp0"; match "type" "LINK_UP"; action "/usr/local/sbin/carp-hast-switch master"; }; notify 30 { match "system" "IFNET"; match "subsystem" "carp0"; match "type" "LINK_DOWN"; action "/usr/local/sbin/carp-hast-switch slave"; }; If the systems are running &os; 10 or higher, replace carp0 with the name of the CARP-configured interface. Restart &man.devd.8; on both nodes to put the new configuration into effect: &prompt.root; service devd restart When the specified interface state changes by going up or down , the system generates a notification, allowing the &man.devd.8; subsystem to run the specified automatic failover script, /usr/local/sbin/carp-hast-switch. For further clarification about this configuration, refer to &man.devd.conf.5;. Here is an example of an automated failover script: #!/bin/sh # Original script by Freddie Cash <fjwcash@gmail.com> # Modified by Michael W. Lucas <mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org> # and Viktor Petersson <vpetersson@wireload.net> # The names of the HAST resources, as listed in /etc/hast.conf resources="test" # delay in mounting HAST resource after becoming master # make your best guess delay=3 # logging log="local0.debug" name="carp-hast" # end of user configurable stuff case "$1" in master) logger -p $log -t $name "Switching to primary provider for ${resources}." sleep ${delay} # Wait for any "hastd secondary" processes to stop for disk in ${resources}; do while $( pgrep -lf "hastd: ${disk} \(secondary\)" > /dev/null 2>&1 ); do sleep 1 done # Switch role for each disk hastctl role primary ${disk} if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then logger -p $log -t $name "Unable to change role to primary for resource ${disk}." exit 1 fi done # Wait for the /dev/hast/* devices to appear for disk in ${resources}; do for I in $( jot 60 ); do [ -c "/dev/hast/${disk}" ] && break sleep 0.5 done if [ ! -c "/dev/hast/${disk}" ]; then logger -p $log -t $name "GEOM provider /dev/hast/${disk} did not appear." exit 1 fi done logger -p $log -t $name "Role for HAST resources ${resources} switched to primary." logger -p $log -t $name "Mounting disks." for disk in ${resources}; do mkdir -p /hast/${disk} fsck -p -y -t ufs /dev/hast/${disk} mount /dev/hast/${disk} /hast/${disk} done ;; slave) logger -p $log -t $name "Switching to secondary provider for ${resources}." # Switch roles for the HAST resources for disk in ${resources}; do if ! mount | grep -q "^/dev/hast/${disk} on " then else umount -f /hast/${disk} fi sleep $delay hastctl role secondary ${disk} 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then logger -p $log -t $name "Unable to switch role to secondary for resource ${disk}." exit 1 fi logger -p $log -t $name "Role switched to secondary for resource ${disk}." done ;; esac In a nutshell, the script takes these actions when a node becomes master: Promotes the HAST pool to primary on the other node. Checks the file system under the HAST pool. Mounts the pool. When a node becomes secondary: Unmounts the HAST pool. Degrades the HAST pool to secondary. This is just an example script which serves as a proof of concept. It does not handle all the possible scenarios and can be extended or altered in any way, for example, to start or stop required services. For this example, a standard UFS file system was used. To reduce the time needed for recovery, a journal-enabled UFS or ZFS file system can be used instead. More detailed information with additional examples can be found at http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST. Troubleshooting HAST should generally work without issues. However, as with any other software product, there may be times when it does not work as supposed. The sources of the problems may be different, but the rule of thumb is to ensure that the time is synchronized between the nodes of the cluster. When troubleshooting HAST, the debugging level of &man.hastd.8; should be increased by starting hastd with -d. This argument may be specified multiple times to further increase the debugging level. Consider also using -F, which starts hastd in the foreground. Recovering from the Split-brain Condition Split-brain occurs when the nodes of the cluster are unable to communicate with each other, and both are configured as primary. This is a dangerous condition because it allows both nodes to make incompatible changes to the data. This problem must be corrected manually by the system administrator. The administrator must either decide which node has more important changes, or perform the merge manually. Then, let HAST perform full synchronization of the node which has the broken data. To do this, issue these commands on the node which needs to be resynchronized: &prompt.root; hastctl role init test &prompt.root; hastctl create test &prompt.root; hastctl role secondary test Index: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-device-mode/chapter.xml =================================================================== --- head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-device-mode/chapter.xml (nonexistent) +++ head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-device-mode/chapter.xml (revision 51744) @@ -0,0 +1,374 @@ + + + + + + USB Device Mode + + + Synopsis + + + + + + Edward Tomasz + Napierala + + +

+ + Written by + + + + + This chapter covers the use of USB Device Mode and USB On + The Go (USB OTG) in &os;. This includes + virtual serial consoles, virtual network interfaces, and + virtual USB drives. + + When running on hardware that supports USB device mode + or USB OTG, like that built into + many embedded boards, the &os; USB stack + can run in device mode. Device mode + makes it possible for the computer to present itself as + different kinds of USB device classes, + including serial ports, network adapters, and mass storage, + or a combination thereof. A USB host like + a laptop or desktop computer is able to access them just like + physical USB devices. + + There are two basic ways the hardware can provide the + device mode functionality: with a separate "client port", which + only supports the device mode, and with a USB OTG port, which + can provide both device and host mode. For + USB OTG ports, the USB + stack switches between host-side and device-side automatically, + depending on what is connected to the port. Connecting a + USB device like a memory stick to the + port causes &os; to switch to host mode. Connecting a + USB host like a computer causes &os; to + switch to device mode.
