MySQL or Postgresql on FreeBSD, have I just started a holy war?
Hi all, I've just been getting ready to start serious MySQL development on a Dual Processor FreeBSD box and I stumbled across the following blog entry on the web today which has me thinking: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000203.html#000203 The coles notes version is that the author, who seems to have some chops in both MySQL and FreeBSD (looks like he's a sysadmin at Yahoo, hi if you're out there Jeremy), has come across some issues with threading and smp support while using MySQL FreeBSD. Now, of course, he doesn't mention is the machines where these issues come up are super high traffic or not, so this may be all moot if you're not running say, Yahoo! I'm still a babe in the woods when it comes to MySQL, but I'm redeveloping several databases that I did some time ago in a proprietary database solution (4D) and I'll be damned if I'm going to redo these things again any time soon, so I'd like to know that I've made the right choice of DB Platform. I've been really happy with 4D overall, but need to have more connectivity options, hence the move. There must be a ton of people running MySQL on FreeBSD, so my first question is, are the issues raised here ones likely to occur on a low to medium volume system? I'm doing about 100,000 queries a day on our current db server from a variety of websites and would expect this volume to double or triple in the next year. My FreeBSD Box is currently DP PIII 500's, but I'll be upgrading it to Ghz PIII's before deployment with a gig of RAM, more if needed. My current DB server is actually an iMac, it's a long story, with a 400Mhz G3 and 512 mb RAM running OS X 10.2 and keeping up quite nicely, so I don't imagine the hardware itself will be a limiting factor. My second question is, if it looks like this will potentially be an issue, how does Postgresql perform on FreeBSD. I could use it just as easily as MySQL and, from what I've heard, it's a little beefier in some aspects. With regards to threading issues, am I likely to be happier with Postgresql in the long term?

Byterunner multiserial saga
I've got a Byterunner tc800 set to 0x100 and irq 4 to correspond with an Arnet 8 port for use under SCO OpenServer for terminals (the motherboard com ports are disabled). I'm having difficulty getting it to run under FBSD 4.6.0 (large numbers of dropped characters). I have confirmed that the hardware functions correctly by installing SCO OpenServer. I have confirmed that the GENERIC kernel works sucessfully with the motherboards com ports. I've reviewed man sio, LINT, handbook, and searched the maillist archives, the www and Byterunner web site. /usr/sbin/config returns a syntax error when the keywords tty, vector or siointr (see below) are used. * Could someone expand on the instructions in man sio especially the hex flags code and the use of tty and the other keywords. Current kernal config file= #device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 irq 4 #device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 #device sio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 #device sio3 at isa? port IO_COM4 irq 9 options COM_MULTIPORT device sio0 at isa? port 0x100 flags 0x20705 ... device sio7 at isa? port 0x138 flags 0x20705 irq 4 * Example seen in maillist archives= device sio11 at isa? port 0x138 tty flags 0xb05 irq 12 vector siointr Oh yes and what does this mean?: You should set the 0x1 flag (only in current yet) as well, to avoid the case where a pending IRQ from a higher port prevents sio`s test#3 from passing on a lower port.

MS That's the boot loader crashing. That's pretty severe. In principal,
MS given the crashdump you've printed out, it should be possible to go
MS into the loader code and work out what was happening at that point,
MS but you'ld probably have to ask on freebsd-hackers to find someone
MS with the skills to do that.
MS This could be one of a number of problems --- disk hardware failure,
MS problems with the BIOS, wrong disk geometry. It's unlikely to be
MS anything to do with the NICs.
MS One problem, and the first thing to check, is something that used to
MS be fairly common until sysinstall was modified to remove the
MS temptation to use such things. Dangerously dedicated disks sound
MS pretty cool to the uninitiated, but beware: many SCSI
MS controllers/bioses can't cope with them. Unfortunately, the only
MS solution if you've installed your system this way is to go back to the
MS beginning and start all over again, and this time, install a proper
MS partition table.
MS If that isn't the case, can you verify that you can boot using the
MS boot blocks from the installation media (I assume CD Rom)?
MS Use this procedure:
MS Start to boot the system from the CD. When you get the 10 second
MS count down, hit the space bar to interrupt. You should end up at
MS the boot: prompt.
MS Now type:
MS unload
MS lsdev
MS This will either generate a BTX dump (in which case, you've
MS probably got pretty bad hardware problems) or it should show you a
MS list of all potential boot devices, including your hard drive. Now
MS type:
MS set currdev={harddrive} (ie. what lsdev returned for your HD)
MS load kernel
MS boot
MS and you should end up with a running system.
MS If that whole rigmarole worked, then the problem is that somehow the
MS boot blocks on your hard drive have become scrambled, and you can
MS probably repair things by reinstalling them.
MS If it didn't work and you're not using dangerously dedicated disks,
MS then you've got really nasty trouble lowlevel trouble which will take
MS time, effort and probably the services of a FreeBSD guru to sort out.

advise on gateway-setup
Hey all, I have been using FreeBSD as desktop and server for over two years now. However, my knowledge on buying hardware to and setting up a gateway is very limited. Actually I have only toyed around with this in the security and comfort of my own home. Ok. After this little self promo its time for my questions. The building I live in has 200+ apartments which in near future will share an (I hope) powerful internet connection. Now I was put in-charge of selecting the equipment to preform firewalling and gateway. What I like it to do is firewalling and some sort of natted intranet with bandwidth management. My question is. How powerful should the gateway/firewall be? I am thinking about CPU and RAM and hardware en general. Also I would be glad to get pointers on where to read for setting up this..ofcause I will start whit the handbook right about here http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking.html and then go to google But if anybody has seen other documents/articles/manpages I should read please point me to em, this could really safe me some time, thanks. -- DetEr.dk - Rules are made to control the fun.

Re: MySQL or Postgresql on FreeBSD, have I just started a holy war?
I am a Postgresql person myself. I can say there is one bad thing about Postgres that might be annoying to some. When data is deleted, the disk space is not recovered until a manual vacuum takes place. On a high load system with many updates or deletes, this could be a real headache.

netmos parallel port card pci
Hi, I', new to FreeBSD and I got stuck with a hardware problem. I bought a parallel port pci card and then I found out that FreeBSD isn't supporting it. There appears to be a patch for NetBSD so that it supports it via their puc(4) driver. pciconf categorizes it into 'simple comms' (0x078000),the device name is 'Nm9805 PCI + 1284 Printer Port'. I was looking around and found the file sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c within the kernel sources. What effect would it have if i would create an additional entry for that card? Or better, which files need to be modified to support this card.

Re: Setting Up VLAN IFaces for IDS
In a switched network unicast packets from host A on port 1 to host b on port 2 will never be seen by host C on port 3 (whether it is a trunk or not). That is the whole point of a switch. Broadcast packets are always sent to all ports in in the VLAN (including trunks). Greetings. My goal is to set up three vlan interfaces on a FreeBSD 4.6.2R box for use wi th an IDS product. Currently, the switch to which the BSD box is connected is set up properly wi th tagging enabled for the respective VLANS. I have a parent interface (fxp1) configured with no IP address. If I use TCPDUMP on the parent interface to test whether or not the tagged pa ckets are being received I get something like: #tcpdump -i fxp1 00:03:42.758875 802.1Q vlan#10 P0 ... lots and lots of VLAN10 stuff here Which to me implies that the packets are arriving at the BSD box appropriatel y tagged. So, I configure a vlan with no IP address: #ifconfig vlan0 vlan 10 vlandev fxp1 up And when I do a: #tcpdump -i vlan0 All I get are broadcasts... ARPs, ICMP to something.255, etc for VLAN10. All unicast packets for VLAN10 are dropped. Am I barking up a wrong tree? Is it possible to do this? Ideally, I'd like to have the following: +--+ +---+ | FBSD | vlan0VLAN#10 | | | +-vlan1VLAN#11-+ switch| | IDS | vlan2VLAN#12 | | +--+---+ +-+-+-+-+ | | | | | | | \__VLAN#10 \__iface with IP | \VLAN#11 \__VLAN#12 Thanks for any input... -ed -- ___ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
IPFW DUMMYNET shaping 4.6.2-R - Speed limited to half of pipelimit
Hi all, I am using IPFW and DUMMYNET to do traffic shaping on 4.6.2-R gateway (uname -a below). I have set the upload to 800Kbit/s and the download to 1500Kbit/s. Here is the relevent section from ipfw.conf. add 500 pipe 1 ip from 192.169.91.16:255.255.255.240 to any pipe 1 config bw 800Kbit/s add 500 pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.91.16:255.255.255.240 pipe 2 config bw 1500Kbit/s If I've read the docs correctly, the network 192.168.91.16/240 should have it's upload limited to 800Kbs it's download to 1500Kbs. However, MRTG is reporting that the upload traffic is maxing out at around 400Kbs. I have played with the upload speed and the connection always maxes out at about half of what I set it to. My questions: 1) How do I get the traffic limited to the bw I set it to? 2) What is causing this? 3) Would changing/setting the queuing method help? # uname -a FreeBSD gateway..net 4.6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE #2: Mon Aug 19 19:06:07 MDT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PROXY i386 Thank you for your help in this matter. ps.

Re: advise on gateway-setup
I'm in a similar position, but on a smaller scale. I'm trying to figure out where these Switched Gateway/Routers/Firewall/VPN devices that are coming on the market fit in, and where it is better to use our favorite FreeBSD machine to do the work? Would I be wrong in assuming these little hardware devices are faster at the job than a FreeBSD machine? I can't comment on whether FreeBSD or the small devices are better at the job. I can comment on one of these small switch/router/firewall boxes. I have deployed several Cisco PIX 501s and have been very pleased with their performance, their capabilities and their price. I have about 6 of them deployed at home (residence) offices and they are doing NAT, routing, firewalling, and 3DES VPN to the main office. They are very nice little machines. Plus they are the cutest little Cisco boxes you will ever see (about the size of a paper back book). - Mike Hogsett To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: JDK13
Actually, for binaries aka java, javac the soft link should work just fine. The CLASSPATH variable only comes into play when actually executing class files within the JVM, thus, the variable really has nothing to do with binary execution. Many Java applications require the JAVA_HOME variable to be set to run properly. I don't know what shell you use but for the Korn shell you would put this in your .profile JAVA_HOME=/path/to/where/you/installed/the/jdk. export JAVA_HOME.

In my opinion, unless a) you have a corporate policy which says what to deploy or b) you have a very large scale project which needs Big Iron or c) you need dedicated hardware/software only available for the hardware solution (ie EIGRP, or some very specialized WAN card) there is no reason to install a dedicated hardware solution instead of a BSD box. They may be atractive in the beginning, but you need to factor the costs and availability of support, software licences/updates, replacement parts and the like. Have you ever asked how much an extra 100BT card for a Cisco costs? :) One of the main advantages of the BSD/Linux solution is the hardware availability. If a NIC blows, you can get another one in less than one hour for less than $80. You don't need a dedicated (Cisco|Nokia|whoever) hardware.

Quite OT, problems with AOpen DX34 Plus motherboard and disks being trashed
I thought, since I run FreeBSD on this particular server box, I might try posting here also. Sorry about length of post but it still doesn't have all info I could deliver as it is. As posted on motherboard.org forum: -- Hi. I could really use some advice here. The mobo has two PIII-800s, onboard Adaptec scsi controller, Via chipset. Was using 2 identical Seagate Barracuda 18 GB disks with software RAID1. OS: FreeBSD 4.6. When referring to first disk: this is the one I boot the OS off. Now to the horror story... After approx. 1.5 years of running virtually 24/7 my first SCSI disk got read and write errors, and upon rescanning it would have disappeared from the chain. Upon rebooting the same would re-occur after non-equal but overall increasingly shorter periods. In the end: hours. Occasionally the drive wouldn't be seen by SCSI BIOS at all. The other one (at the same chain) would. First thought: drive is dying. However when using Seagate's diagnostic boot disk the drive would either not show up, or it would and if it did it passed all tests. Second thought: try other disk anyway. Because I want to keep working with a mirrored configuration I got two new identical disks, ATA this time (WD, 20GB) with a new and short ATA100 cable. Dumped my data and OS from the second SCSI drive and recreated configuration. Incidentally, once I had everything running, I could mount the other (supposedly faulty) SCSI disk and read/write just fine. Within days though, the second ATA disk started to show the same problems as my former first SCSI disk did earlier. Again upon rebooting it would work again but not very long. Incidentally clicking noises. Not good! Third thought: bad power supply. From what I've read, opinions on this vary, but I came across enough posts in mailing lists archives (FreeBSD's and some others) indicating that a bad supply can do a lot of damage. So I got me top knotch Antec power supply and tossed the old one out. Connected system fan to it and things seemed fine. At least the box was a lot less noisy (the power supply itself has not one but two fans also of itself effectively pushing the warm air out of the server enclosure plus it can regulate system fan speed when needed). However, within a day or two my system logs again showed read errors. And more ticking and clicking. Outch. Fourth thought: check temperature, voltages, airflow, etc. Actually, I ahve been looking at operational variables like these all along. With the new power supply, mobo temp would go to some 35 degrees celcius, with the old one up to 39. Not too much. As for voltages, well, they looked normal, except that the -12V would always be close to -17. I am not sure if this is wrong, AFAIK it has always been like that. It certainly didn't change when I replaced the power supply. Also, none of the disks ever appeared to become very warm. Fifth thought, perhaps getting more far fetched: for some reason, the offending disk always seemed to be the one physically located at the bottom of the 5.25 cage. I probably need to explain what this thing looks like: The cage can be taken out of the server enclosure wholly, it holds the CDROM, and one can screw up to five 3.5 devices around it. The most logical place to start is using the positions under the CDROM drive and to make them fit one has to use the metal (I think copper) strips on both sides screwed into the harddisks and into the cage. These came with the machine and were indeed used to hold the harddisks. Other places to put additional disks are on top and on both sides of the cage forming kind of a cube altogether. Yes, I have made VERY sure that the disk at the bottom is not touching another disk, neither does it touch the underside of the cage or the enclosure. The things is, a ticking ATA disk is often caused by too low voltage which wears it out quickly, as far as I've understood. Could I be having some problem with grounding? And where then, how could this have suddenly started? Otherwise, well, I can't think of anything else than to replace the mobo. Can a damaged mobo lead to problems as described above? It would have to happen somewhere upstream from the ATA/SCSI controllers then. In short, I'm really stumped on this! Last time I tried to power up the damn thing all it did was click, it didn't even get to post, let alone boot :( I'm very reluctant to keep on trying and testing because in the meantime chances are my disks will deteriorate further (I suspect the ATA drive is already toast). Any ideas, recommendations, experiences that might help me?? Thanks a ton for even reading this long post. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Setting Up VLAN IFaces for IDS
I've done a little more research and found that if I configure a VLAN in the same fashion - but on one of my OpenBSD boxes (using hme as parent iface) the connection works perfectly. Upon completion of the vlan setup: #ifconfig vlan0 vlan 10 vlandev hme1 up I can dump that vlan interface: #tcpdump -i vlan0 And get ALL packets from the ports on the switch configured as VLAN #10. Is this a known FreeBSD issue? -ed Hi. I agree with Mike's description of an (unconfigured) switch, but the issue comes after it since tcpdumping -i fxp1 (the parent) yields ALL packets (including unicasts). This is what the switch was configured to do - forward all packets. The issue is with the BSD box and the actual VLAN interface. Any ideas why the vlan interfaces are truncating unicasts? Thanks... In a switched network unicast packets from host A on port 1 to host b on port 2 will never be seen by host C on port 3 (whether it is a trunk or not). That is the whole point of a switch. Broadcast packets are always sent to all ports in in the VLAN (including trunks). Greetings. My goal is to set up three vlan interfaces on a FreeBSD 4.6.2R box for use with an IDS product. Currently, the switch to which the BSD box is connected is set up properly with tagging enabled for the respective VLANS. I have a parent interface (fxp1) configured with no IP address. If I use TCPDUMP on the parent interface to test whether or not the tagged packets are being received I get something like: #tcpdump -i fxp1 00:03:42.758875 802.1Q vlan#10 P0 ... lots and lots of VLAN10 stuff here Which to me implies that the packets are arriving at the BSD box appropriately tagged. So, I configure a vlan with no IP address: #ifconfig vlan0 vlan 10 vlandev fxp1 up And when I do a: #tcpdump -i vlan0 All I get are broadcasts... ARPs, ICMP to something.255, etc for VLAN10. All unicast packets for VLAN10 are dropped. Am I barking up a wrong tree? Is it possible to do this? Ideally, I'd like to have the following: +--+ +---+ | FBSD | vlan0VLAN#10 | | | +-vlan1VLAN#11-+ switch| | IDS | vlan2VLAN#12 | | +--+---+ +-+-+-+-+ | | | | | | | \__VLAN#10 \__iface with IP | \VLAN#11 \__VLAN#12 -- ___ Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Suggestion re packages
Hi, As I was browsing thru the questions mailing list just now, I thought of something that might improve the ease of use of our ports/packages system. It seems to me it would be helpful if packages included a quick summary of any options used to compile the package and anything else that isn't included in the packages, but is present in the port (or vice versa?). For example - the authentication bits in Squid) I've come across problems several times where I couldn't get something to work because I'd installed the package rather than the port and I've seen questions from others with the same problem. What do you think? Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Maybe you had a reason for going the port route, but if not, you could try the package route.

I did $ PKG_TMPDIR=/u/tmp pkg_add -v openoffice-1.0.1_2.tbz2 $ PKG_TMPDIR=/u/tmp pkg_add -v en-ooodict-US-1.0.tbz2 Google might find one of those file names if openoffice.org fails you. It seems to work OK though I didn't even do it as root as I'm trying an experiment: I gave most of the port/package directories to a non-root user and he tries to do building and installing so errant scripts won't wipe out more important things, like OS files and personal files. It looks like many scripts want to install things as root:wheel, but I'm hoping that many of them can be fixed by doing: BINOWN=port_pkg_user BINGRP=port_pkg_group make install I suspect that too many scripts will still break to make this practical, but I really hate the idea of running app scripts as root and am going to try to make this work.

Re: IPFW DUMMYNET shaping 4.6.2-R - Speed limited to half of pipe limit
From: Randy Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I am using IPFW and DUMMYNET to do traffic shaping on 4.6.2-R gateway (uname -a below). I have set the upload to 800Kbit/s and the download to 1500Kbit/s. Here is the relevent section from ipfw.conf. add 500 pipe 1 ip from 192.169.91.16:255.255.255.240 to any pipe 1 config bw 800Kbit/s add 500 pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.91.16:255.255.255.240 pipe 2 config bw 1500Kbit/s If I've read the docs correctly, the network 192.168.91.16/240 should have it's upload limited to 800Kbs it's download to 1500Kbs. However, MRTG is reporting that the upload traffic is maxing out at around 400Kbs. I have played with the upload speed and the connection always maxes out at about half of what I set it to. My questions: 1) How do I get the traffic limited to the bw I set it to? 2) What is causing this? 3) Would changing/setting the queuing method help? Randy, Your problem is simple: Remember that IPFW interacts with packets as they pass through interfaces. Your ipfw rules will match each packet twice - once as it enters the gateway from the source network, and a second time as it leaves the gateway en route to the destination. Both times you are queuing the packet in the same pipe. This means that each packet uses twice its own bandwidth in the pipe The solution is to change your rules as follows (assume fxp0 is your internet NIC): add 500 pipe 1 ip from 192.169.91.16:255.255.255.240 to any via fxp0 add 500 pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.91.16:255.255.255.240 via fxp0 --- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. ______ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ / __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

fdisk: unable to write data to disk (RAID)
Hi, I have two logical drives in a RAID controller. At startup FreeBSD recognises them as amrd0 (RAID-5 with 4 disks) and amrd1 (RAID-0 with 1 disk). Now I want to partition the amrd1 as 1 slice with 1 partition in it (just to store data on it). But when I try in fdisk to write the changes to disk, it says it is unable to write the changes. Now I can't do anything with the disk. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Marco -- It is always preferable to visit home with a friend.

Installationproblems FreeBSD 4.6-release
Hey, I tried ok *set hw.ata.ata_dma=1* ok *set hw.ata.atapi_dma=1* ok *boot* from loader prompt ok, but sysinstall still are unable to transfer the bin distribution from acd0c (tried to upgrade bin from sysinstall to) to my disk. My CD-rom is AOpen 50x. No problem with my FreeBSD 4.5-release2 cd's. Does anyone know where I can find the right info? For fun I will now try to upgrade source code instead. /Bengt Frost - PS I love FreeBSD and Python (and C).

All aRts aware applications are able to restart it if they want it. You'll notice a small delay when starting something like Noatun, as it restarts the server, but nothing unreasonable.

Re: KDE, sound, artsd and xmms
put: hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 into /etc/sysctl.conf; attach arts to /dev/dsp0.1 and esd to /dev/dsp.2 This leaves /dev/dsp0 - /dev/dsp0.0 open for odd aplications that need direct access. You could additionally attach nas to /dev/dsp0.3 if you are networking sound. --- Scott A.

Re: 8.4Gb IDE Drive Limit
In the last episode (Oct 02), Matthew Donadio said: Mike Hogsett wrote: How did you partition the 40Gb drive? Thanks for the reply. I split the drive in two with the intentions of installing FreeBSD on one slice, and Linux on the other (I haven't tried Linux yet). Are you suggesting that I should try putting / on a small slice by itself, and see if that boots? It's worth a shot. I think the main problem with getting large drives to boot on old BIOSes is the 1024-cylinder limit. You need to make sure the kernel is located near enough to the start of the disk that it can be accessed with BIOS calls. If your FreeBSD partition is on the 2nd half of the disk, it probably won't boot. You might want to set it up like: |- 1024-cyl point ++---|---+--+---+ | / | / : swap : /usr | swap | /usr | ++---+--+---+ ^^ ^ ^ LinuxFreeBSD slice containingLinux Linux root all FreeBSD partitions swap/usr sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 da0s1 da0s2da0s3 da0s4 That way both Linux and FreeBSD get their kernels near the start of the disk. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: jpilot, usb and palm m505.
Known Issue. Pilot-Link developer David Desrossier(sp) (aka setuid on #pilot-link on irc.pilot-link.org) is working on it. I supplied a MotherBoard/Processor/Video Card for him to install FreeBSD onto. I'm waiting with bated breath for him to fix it. I've been hanging out in the IRC channel to help with BSD issues for him.

It has several security fixes. V4 of XFree86 no longer uses the XF86Setup program to generate the configuration. The preferred way to generate simple configurations is run the server with the -configure option. See 'man XFree86' for more details. Then read 'man XF86Config' for documentation on the configuration file details. The file generated will be /etc/X11/XF86Config and may be edited for more complex configurations such as multiple screens and non-default color depths and resolutions. R.
