Performance of Geli compared to Luks
Hello everyone, My HP Proliant Microserver, which I want to use as a NAS, is using an AMD Turion II Neo N40L processor. The plain disks give me about 100 MB/s using filebench with the fivestreamwrite/multistreamwrite workloads (as software RAID-1 under Linux and zpool mirror under FreeBSD). In Linux, using LUKS with cipher aes-xts-plain64 on a software RAID-1 I get the same ~100 MB/s for the same benchmarks. In FreeBSD, using a mirror zfs pool with underlying GELI with AES-XTS I get only ~50 MB/s. As the encryption algorithms should be the same, I'm wondering why FreeBSD is that slow for nearly exactly the same use case. Any ideas how I could tweak my settings in FreeBSD?

Disable automatic Fallback IP on 9.0-RC2 when a hostname cannot be resolved
Hello, my 9.0-RC2 installation on furnace.wzff.de keeps connecting to wzff.de if a hostname cannot be resolved. E.g. telnet foobar 25 connects me to the SMTP server on wzff.de, same thing for another jail that uses a subdomain of barfooze.de and tries to connect to barfooze.de if it can't find a suitable DNS or /etc/hosts record. I dislike when computers try to be smart like this, and I can't really think how this is useful, and it also doesn't happen on another machine that has a subdomain of something set as hostname and is running 8.2, so I want to disable it. Can anyone give me a hint how to do it? If you can't, which of the numerous mailing lists would be the right one to contact in this case? This is 9.0-RC2 on amd64, last updated 2011-11-09.

Hi, Nope, it's not my DNS provider. I checked that. On the furnace.wzff.de jail: # cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by resolvconf nameserver 213.133.98.98 nameserver 213.133.99.99 nameserver 213.133.100.100 # host foo1 Host foo1 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) # grep foo1 /etc/hosts # telnet foo1 25 Trying 178.63.197.15... Connected to wzff.de. Escape character is '^]'. 220 wzff.de ESMTP Exim 4.72 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:18:45 +0100 QUIT 221 wzff.de closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. Same thing on the mail.wzff.de jail: # telnet foo1 25 Trying 178.63.197.15... Connected to wzff.de. Escape character is '^]'. jabber.barfooze.de: # telnet fu1 25 Trying 78.46.117.212... Connected to fu1.barfooze.de. Escape character is '^]'. 220 barfooze.de ESMTP Exim 4.76 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 20:25:57 +0100 Interestingly, on this jail it connects to a subdomain. I tried telnet and irssi, and both of them do this, so it's probably not an application bug either. Any hints where else I should look?

No colours at all with ncurses and urxvt on FreeBSD 9.0-RC2
Hello, I can't get colours to work with urxvt (the normal urxvt, that is, not the 256-color one) over ssh. Google doesn't come up with any usable results for this particular case..

Problems with nullfs on 9.0-RC1
Good evening, I have been experiencing problems with accessing a nullfs which has been mounted inside a nullfs. This is meant to be a very elaborate way to exchange files between my jails :-) I have following entries in /etc/fstab on the host system, which runs FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 from a few days ago: /usr/jails/foo/share/shares/foo nullfs ro 0 0 /shares /usr/jails/foo/shares nullfs ro 0 0 /usr/jails/bar/share/shares/bar nullfs ro 0 0 /shares /usr/jails/bar/shares nullfs ro 0 0 etc. If I create a file in the bar jail in /share, let's call it zot, it is available on the host system in /shares/bar, but not inside /usr/jails/foo/shares/bar or /usr/jails/bar/shares/bar. My syslog is full of messages like these: Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_getattr Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_readdir Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_readdir Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_close Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_access Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_open Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_getattr Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_read Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_close Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_access Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_open Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_getattr Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_read Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_close Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_getattr Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_access Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_open Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_getattr Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_readdir Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_readdir Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_close Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_getattr Nov 7 16:44:15 machine last message repeated 2 times Nov 7 16:44:15 machine kernel: null_bypass: vop_access I guess I'm either doing something very stupid here, or this is a bug?

Deprecated ifconfig_interface_aliasn
Hello, according to the rc.conf(5) manual page, the ifconfig_interface_alias_n mechanism has been deprecated: And so on. For each ifconfig_interface_aliasn entry that is found, its contents are passed to ifconfig(8). Execution stops at the first unsuccessful access, so if something like this is present: ifconfig_ed0_alias0=inet 127.0.0.251 netmask 0x ifconfig_ed0_alias1=inet 127.0.0.252 netmask 0x ifconfig_ed0_alias2=inet 127.0.0.253 netmask 0x ifconfig_ed0_alias4=inet 127.0.0.254 netmask 0x Then note that alias4 would not be added since the search would stop with the missing `alias3'' entry. Due to this difficult to manage behavior, the ifconfig_interface_aliasn form is deprecated. I can't see any further hints by what it has been deprecated, and the net is full of examples using this mechanism. Can someone point me to whereever some equivalent functionality has been implemented? Should I file a PR, or am I just being blind?

On previous servers, I ended up putting something in my rc.local, but as already mentioned, I'd very much prefer the rc.conf-sugar. This PR was filed about a year ago, and I'm a bit disappointed, because one of the main reasons for me to pick FreeBSD was the jail support, which is pretty amazing if you ask me, if only there was a way to start them *with* parameters... :-( Please do something. I know freebsd-questions is the wrong list for this (so I will be posting it to freebsd-jail as well), but my initial post ended up there. I don't care whether you end up with an /etc/jail.d as proposed in conf/116416, but IMHO, there should be some *documented* way, which is officially supported and available on a default installation of FreeBSD, to start a jail with all parameters advertised in the manpage.

Passing additional options to jail(8) via rc.conf
Hello, let's say I want to pass additional options like ip4=inherit to my jails configured via /etc/rc.conf. How do I get this to work? Apparently, setting jail_www_flags=-l -U root ip4=inherit is the wrong order, because these parameters are expected after -c, which is apparently inserted by the rc-script *after* the flags passed via the variable. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a way to solve it rather than setting the jail up things by hand in rc.local? I'd prefer using the sugar rc.conf offers me. Maybe there is another, undocumented variable for this kind of options? Am I overlooking something?

Not specifically weekly. There's a *daily* security check on installed
ports if you install ports-mgmt/portaudit
If you really want a weekly rather than a daily report, you could adapt
${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic/security/410.portaudit into
${LOCALBASE}/etc/periodic/weekly/410.portaudit pretty easily.
Thanks, Matthew, portaudit is what I was looking for.

Re: supports costs
Wow, that was quick Wow, that was quick, Well, as a school project, I had to redesign a SME companys network under licence-free and licencing aspects. The firm needs support for 10 workstations, ie file sharing, a backup solution, internet and email access. My partner and I implemented a Freebsd 4.7 file server with samba 2.2.8a, running on a P4 2000MHz 512DDR RRAM machine with 2*60 GB IDE HDD with a RAID 1, performed by a hardware controller. The system needs to be flexible for future adoption like webserving and its own SMTP/POP3 and is compared with a Windows 2000 standard server, as far as licence, support and downtime costs are concerned.

Sure. Check out SANS.org, salary.com, or anything else that lets you compare the annual salary for FreeBSD admins versus M$ admins. Then add the license costs of the M$ products in question, adjust by a fudge factor representing the difference in relative productivity, management whims, and all of the other unmeasureable factors unique to your situation. If you tell us what you're doing, how many users, and so forth, a bunch of people here can probably reel off rough estimates that will be in the right ballpark, anyway. -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now to set some stuff up. I could use some help here if someone could spare a few minutes 1. Apache: what version should I install from /usr/ports...apache2? 2. How would I install apache so that it recognizes php (need to learn php rather badly) 3. Speaking of php...how do I install IT on the server? Is it in ports someplace? I don't see it, but maybe I'm being dumb. 4. Ditto MySQL...how/where? Regards ( TIA!!), -Colin -- Colin J.

Maximal (sensible) size of a partition
I want to add a new 20 GB hard drive to my router/printer server/fileserver. Does it make sense to make a big 20 GB partition and if not, why? Oh, and do you think it makes sense at all to integrate a 20 GB hard drive into a P133 which shall share these 20 GB to three other machines and is performing routing at the same time, or is this machine too slow for this task? Thank you in advance! - Moritz To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
