I have installed the AMRSTAT Port, but I can;t get it working.

FreeBSD is actually quite new for me If it was Linux.. it was more simple

Look http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,5252.msg31671.html#msg31671

3 simple commands.

[Matts]

I found something:

Code:

# pkg_add -r http://ftp.id.freebsd.org/ports/packages/All/amrstat-20070216.tbz
# rehash
# amrstat
Logical volume 0:       degraded (16.96 GB, RAID1)
Physical drive 0:0      rebuild
Physical drive 0:1      online

Now you can use a remote server to execute amrstat remotely via ssh and grep for 'degraded'.  If grep returns 0, send an e-mail.

Hi,

I already installed it using this:

Code:

pkg_add -r amrstat

This is what I get because I already installed the latest version I thought

Code:

# pkg_add -r http://ftp.id.freebsd.org/ports/packages/All/amrstat-20070216.tbz
Fetching http://ftp.id.freebsd.org/ports/packages/All/amrstat-20070216.tbz... Done.
pkg_add: package 'amrstat-20070216' or its older version already installed
#

And I get this now:

Code:

# amrstat
open: No such file or directory
# where amrstat
/usr/local/sbin/amrstat
# /usr/local/sbin/amrstat
open: No such file or directory
# /usr/local/sbin/amrstat --help
amrstat: illegal option -- -

                [-p drive|-s bus[:target]] [-t usec] [-v]

        -a num          number of retries
        -b              battery status
        -c ctrl         controller ID

Maybe your RAID controller is not supported by this program.  How are labeled your disks?

I will check it, I thought it was.

What do you mean by this ?

Give me the output of 'df'

[Matts]

Give me the output of 'df'

/dev/idad0s1a  13133670 75896 12007082     1%    /
devfs                 1     1        0   100%    /dev
/dev/md0           1710    26     1548     2%    /var/run
devfs                 1     1        0   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev


Btw, I was thinking of using smartmontools. After installing this I see that libcam* is missing.

Or we have to get a full install tree, what not should be it.

Your RAID controller doesn't use the amr driver, so you can't use amrstat

If you get smartmontools, how will you get notified of a failed disk?

I think I found how to do it, using an Expect script.  I haven't tried it yet 'cause I don't have the pfsense machine close, but I will as soon as I can boot it up.

Here is the script:

http://bash.cyberciti.biz/security/sshlogin.exp.php

This script is executed from a remote host, on which expect is installed.  I'm just beginning with expect, so I hard-coded all my values in the script.  I know this exposes the firewall root password in a file, but I think I can live with that until I find a better way to be alerted when a drive fails.

Code:

#! /bin/bash

RETVAL=0

/home/user/expect_amrstat > /home/user/expect_degraded

grep Degraded /home/user/expect_degraded >dev/null

RETVAL=$?
if [ "$RETVAL" = 0 ]; then
        echo "Array degraded on firewall"  |mail -s "Array Degraded" me@mydomain.com
fi

The script /home/user/expect_amrstat simply runs amrstat on the firewall and outputs the result.
