NFS Performance

Stupid configuration error on my part. I still had my old ISP's name servers configured in my named.conf forwarders statement, and they have apparently been responding to me for eighteen months -- until two days ago. Sorry for the noise! -- George Mitchell

Gigabit Ethernet w/Jumbo Frames

2007-06-26 Thread george+freebsd
I'm having poor luck trying to use NFS over a gigabit ethernet using jumbo frames. By all indications, my switch (Netgear GS608) forwards jumbo frames with no difficulty, but my Realtek 8169-based cards seem unreceptive to the idea, giving many watchdog timeouts and other obscure log messages.

open (/dev/lpt0 ...) hangup solved

2006-07-22 Thread george+freebsd
As was suggested, the problem is that when the system automatically brings up the plip0 interface, it grabs the ppbus and doesn't let it go until someone takes the interface down. I now believe this problem was present even in 5.3, but I didn't see it because I routinely compiled custom 5.x

FreeBSD 6.0/6.1: open (/dev/lpt0 ...) hangs up

A couple of days ago, I upgraded from FreeBSD 5.3 to 6.1 (installed on a previously unused disk partition). Happiness ensued for the most part, but I could not get printing to work at all with the generic kernel. I played around for a while and eventually found that open (/dev/lpt0 ...) would
