Neil Bothwick neil at digimed.co.uk writes: If I reboot, I *may* loose the firewall completely, depending on what the drive does. The only safe thing is to build another firewall before rebooting the current firewall (then see if fsck will fix it)... Then don't reboot. Mount another drive somewhere temporary, copy the contents of /var to it, then unmount /var and mount the new drive on /var. Reformat the original filesystem and reverse the process. Earlier I posted the partitions: /dev/hda3 18G 2.1G 16G 12% / udev 125M 2.6M 123M 3% /dev shm 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda1 393M 46M 347M 12% /boot since /var is part of / (on the same partition) will this still work? Either way, once I build a new firewall, I'm going to copy it to CF and be done with these old ide drives. Use a suitable filesystem, or the flash memory will die very quickly, especially if you put /var on it. What would be the best file system to use on said CF HD to extend the life? I usually use the reiserfs on boot and root (simple partioning scheme). But, I'm open to suggestions here. The other thing I'm going to do is keep a master (k6) system with a good HD for compiling updates and start distributing binaries to all of the other k6 (586) firewalls That should greatly help extend the life too.

Well this machine supposedly supports up to 8GB of RAM so I can only assume that it doesn't map the pci-space to there. But I wonder, will enabling the higher RAM limit really open up more RAM? The BIOS detects all 4096MB, but Grub only lists 3.6GB.

[gentoo-user] firewall make.conf settings
Hello,
I keep driving to make the size of the (gentoo) firewall as small(fast) as
posible to run on minimal resources. I have a mixture of old pentiums and
amd (k6) machines. I'd like to have one make.conf file for all the systems.
Anybody see anything wrong (not optimized) with these settings?
CFLAGS=-Os -march=i586 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
CHOST=i586-pc-linux-gnu
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
MAKEOPTS=-j2
USE= -* hardened acl ssl crypt nptl nptlonly
Will -march=i586 work well with the amd k6 arch?
-fomit-frame-pointer (as no debugging wil)l occur on said machines)
Any comments on the USE flags? (a better way to minimize the installed
packages (which is vim and iptables and sshd)

If you'd like to use the same make.conf for different machines you should
make sure they all have same processors or, at least, same family of
processors; in your case, I recommend using -mcpu instead of -march. Keep
in mind that K6 processors have their own -marc=k6 and might not be
comptable with -march=i586. More in /etc/make.conf.example.
About USE flags, I recommend using -va options on every merge, check
wich USE flags are enabled or disabled for each package and dinamicaly
make your USE variable up.

Hmmm, So you are suggesting to run 'denyhosts' directly on the firewall ? portage has version 0.8-r1 but I see version 2.6 for download. Which version do you use? If newer than 0.8-rc1 How did you install it (overlay, compile sources) ? How much cpu/ram resources does denyhosts use, during an active attack? (guesstimate is ok)? On logging, I'm not sure how I want to handle this on old hardware with limited disk space. NO doubt I'll just stream it somewhere, but you have to be careful not to use too much processor/ram/resources on these old firewalls, so I may just set something up and have the ability to turn logging on/off depending on needs. It get's more complicated if it's just a remote firewall I manage for a friend. They would not know what to do, no matter what application it's plugged into for analysis...

One of my friends coded something like this once as a plug-in for
XMMS. Can't seem to find it now. Perhaps you'd have better luck than
I.
On the other hand, a little bit of C++ should be fairly easy. First
you need the 'play' program from sox. 'play' can play files in the
'raw' format, which is just a stream of words that gives the amplitude
of the waveform. For example
play -t raw -s l -f s -c 1 -r 3 -
takes as input stdin, plays mono channel sound from a stream that is
signed-linear, 30 hertz sample rate, and with amplitude described
by 32 bit long word. Next you just need a waveform generator. A C++
snipplet from something I cobbled together several years ago (yes yes,
my coding practice can stand much improvement, so sue me)
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
#include math.h
int main()
{
int rate = 3;
int coramp = 0xCEF;
int tempamp=0;
float totalamp=0;
int f_count;
while(1) for(f_count=0; f_count rate; f_count++)
{
totalamp=sinf( ((float)f_count) * 440 / rate * 2 * M_PI);
tempamp = (int) (coramp * totalamp);
printf(%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c, (char) (tempamp), (char) (tempamp
8), (char) (tempamp 16), (char) (tempamp 24), (char) (tempamp), (char)
(tempamp 8), (char) (tempamp 16), (char) (tempamp 24));
}
return 0;
}
Yes, it is an infinite loop.
The sinf makes it a sine wave. You can code your own triangle wave.
THe 440 makes it output A-440. It is the frequency.
coramp is an amplifying factor.
compile it, run it like
./a.out | play -t raw -s l -f s -c 1 -r 3 -
And you should get A-440 out of your speakers.

Man fstab man nfs{d} man mount and search for sync write options. Wsize
and rsize=8192 and wsize=8192 might work but I think they are deprecated.
Althought, async or sync might still be used. Use these options when mouting
your nfs share or make them permanent in your fstab file. Gentoo-wiki has a
good guide on this. I would have given you a good set of options but I'm not
able to access the inet.

Subject: [gentoo-user] NFS Server Tuning
Hello,
I am running a x86 gentoo box as a nfs server. As a filesystem I am
using XFS on a 3ware Raid system.
The 3ware systems seems to be quite quick, although access via NFS
seems to be very slow. Any ideas how I can improve speed ? I was
expected a speed only limited by the 100 Mbit network. Now, the
speed is so slow, that reading/writing at the same time is nearly
impossible.
Any ideas how to improve the speed ?
hdparm on the gentoo box machine:
backup3 ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing cached reads: 4108 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2054.34 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 232 MB in 3.01 seconds = 77.09 MB/sec
/etc/exports on the gentoo box:
/mnt/backup/ 192.168.1.0/24
(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_subtree_check)
I am not even able to run a bonnie benchmark on the client. It seems
to hang while doing rewriting. Running bonnie on the nfs server
gives a fast result.
/etc/fstab on the client:
192.168.1.3:/mnt/backup /mnt/backup nfs
rw,users,async 0
http://pastebin.com/m72ae9d47
Any ideas ?

[gentoo-user] udev, scsi modules and lvm2
Hi, I have the following problem with lvm2 and volume groups discovery. With emulex FC scsi controller as module (lpfc) where data disks are attached and configured with lvm2, the volume groups are not automatically scanned at boot. lpfc is added to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, so scsi disks are detected properly. The trouble is that udev is running the lvm scan before lpfc is autoloaded. The workaround is either to use non-modular lpfc or do an additional vgscan/vgchange/mount after boot in local.startup. Is there a better/proper way with baselayout-1 (except for initramfs)? Somehow I would prefer to have lpfc modular. Thanks, Andrej -- _ doc. dr.

However, I do not see much of an effect between different rsize and wsize settings. I believe that over an uncongested 100T network it probably doesn't matter too much what rsize and wsize are. On a different share (same server) mounted async without [r|w]size set, performance (write, this time) was 11.2mb/s, roughly the same. Furthermore, I'm not sure these values are even valid. http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/NFS-HOWTO/performance.html said that nfs3 goes only to 32768. wdelay and no_wdelay might have an effect, depending on your application. I no longer tweak those values. There are some network performance tweaks as well; their effect wasn't particularly noticable to me, but look http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/NFS-HOWTO/performance.html for more information on 5.4. Memory Limits on the Input Queue, 5.3. Number of Instances of NFSD, and 5.5. Overflow of Fragmented Packets were interesting to me. Finally, NFS4 is reputed to be much faster in certain cases.
