(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep talking about, then the card's interrupt throttling is going to limit the inbound bandwidth to below 100Mbt. Wrong again, Ted. It scares me that you consider yourself knowlegable about this. You can process # interrupts X ring_size packets; not one per interrupt. You're only polling 1000x per second (or whatever you have hz set to), so why do you think that you have to interrupt for every packet to do 100Mb/s? I never said anything about interrupting for every packet, did I? Of course not since I know what your talking about. However, it is you who are throwing around the numbers - or were in your prior post - regarding the fxp driver and hardware. Why should I have to do the work digging around in the datasheets and doing the math? Since you seem to be wanting to argue this from a theory standpoint, then your only option is to do the math. Go ahead, look up the datasheet for the 82557. I'm sure it's online somewhere, and tell us what it says about throttled interrupts, and run your numbers. Do you not understand that packet processing is the same whether its done on a clock tick or a hardware interrupt? Do you not understand that a clock tick has more overhead (because of other assigned tasks)? Do you not understand that getting exactly 5000 hardware interrupts is much more efficient than having 5000 clock tick interrupts per second? What part of this don't you understand? Well, one part I don't understand is why when one of those 5000 clock ticks happens and the fxp driver finds no packets to take off the card, that it takes the same amount of time for the driver to process as when the fxp driver finds packets to process. At least, that seems to be what your arguing. As I've stated before once,

I must say that both boxes had all filesystem dumped and restored after repartitioning for permitting the use of dumping software such as ghost (that didn't like the partitioning done by freebsd during installation..)

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep talking about, then the card's interrupt throttling is going to limit the inbound bandwidth to below 100Mbt. Wrong again, Ted. It scares me that you consider yourself knowlegable about this. You can process # interrupts X ring_size packets; not one per interrupt. You're only polling 1000x per second (or whatever you have hz set to), so why do you think that you have to interrupt for every packet to do 100Mb/s? I never said anything about interrupting for every packet, did I? Of course not since I know what your talking about. However, it is you who are throwing around the numbers - or were in your prior post - regarding the fxp driver and hardware. Why should I have to do the work digging around in the datasheets and doing the math? Since you seem to be wanting to argue this from a theory standpoint, then your only option is to do the math. Go ahead, look up the datasheet for the 82557. I'm sure it's online somewhere, and tell us what it says about throttled interrupts, and run your numbers. Do you not understand that packet processing is the same whether its done on a clock tick or a hardware interrupt? Do you not understand that a clock tick has more overhead (because of other assigned tasks)? Do you not understand that getting exactly 5000 hardware interrupts is much more efficient than having 5000 clock tick interrupts per second? What part of this don't you understand? Well, one part I don't understand is why when one of those 5000 clock ticks happens and the fxp driver finds no packets to take off the card, that it takes the same amount of time for the driver to process as when the fxp driver finds packets to process. At least, that seems to be

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. Yes, going into livelock for a moment is better than dropping a bucket of packets. If your machine is in constant livelock, then its too slow and it doesn't matter whether you run polling or interrupts; you need a new machine. You also can't grasp the point that clock ticks do more than just poll, you're forcing a LOT of other stuff to get done a lot more often than necessary. You also don't understand that polling occurs MILLIONS of times per second on machines that aren't loaded. The HZ setting is the minimum number of polls per second. Its a perfect example of using a setting without having any idea how it works just because some idiot falsely claimed it was better without really testing it. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep talking about, then the card's interrupt throttling is going to limit the inbound bandwidth to below 100Mbt. Wrong again, Ted. It scares me that you consider yourself knowlegable about this. You can process #interrupts X ring_size packets; not one per interrupt. You're only polling 1000x per second (or whatever you have hz set to), so why do you think that you have to interrupt for every packet to do 100Mb/s? I never said anything about interrupting for every packet, did I? Of course not since I know what your talking about. You said that the throttled interrupts would keep the controller from being able to do full 100Mb/s, which is wrong. So why don't you just explain what you meant by that. Your not knowledgable or reasonable Ted. You just want me to be wrong, so there's no sense arguing religion. Why don't you ask Matt Dillon about interrupt moderation vs polling, since I'm sure

Originally when I installed Gnome2, I used the gnome2-lite meta-port. It lists other ports to install to get the more full featured Gnome.

shebang line parsing changes in 6.0
I upgraded a test box to 6.0 recently and various things broke, all related to the shebang line parsing changes (see: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/kern/imgact_shell.c ). I found the historical parsing behavior really, really useful. Like if I wanted a script to always run as a particular user, I'd use #!/usr/local/bin/sudo -u someuser /bin/sh, or if I wanted to ensure only one copy of a script ran at a time, #!/usr/local/bin/setlock /some/lock/file /bin/sh (using setlock from the daemontools package), etc. I guess I could write a program to split argv[1] on whitespace and exec, but is there a simpler way to work around this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You're right. Originally when I installed Gnome2, I used the
gnome2-lite meta-port. It lists other ports to install to get the more
full featured Gnome. After I while I removed the gnome2-lite port and
installed the gnome2 full port since I was slowly adding the add-on
ports it mentioned anyway. I assumed the bits I had already added were
part of the full port.
Guess I can just delete the port and be done with it. That solution
doesn't really address the larger issue of a port that will toss your

Since apache seems very critical to you maybe adding
IGNORE|www/apache*| to /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf
would be a good idea, it would stop surprises.
When you know you want to upgrade apache then comment out
that line and do a portmanager www/apache{version}, just a suggestion...

(Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song) Well, if polling does no good for fxp, due to the hardware doing controlled interrupts, then why does the fxp driver even let you set it as an option? And why have many people who have enabled it on fxp seen an improvement? They haven't, freebsd accounting doesn't work properly with polling enabled, and they don't have the ability to know if they are getting better performance, because they, like you, have no clue what they're doing. How about all the idiots running MP with FreeBSD 4.x, when we know its just a waste of time? they all think they're getting worthwhile performance, because they are clueless. I would call them idiots if they are running MP under FreeBSD and assuming that they are getting better performance without actually testing for it. But if they are just running MP because they happen to be using an MP server, and they want to see if it will work or not, who cares? Maybe its tunable because they guy who wrote the driver made it a tunable? duh. I've yet to see one credible, controlled test that shows polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. Hm, OK I believe that. As I recall I asked you earlier to post the test setup you used for your own tests proving that polling is worse, and you haven't done so yet. Now you are saying you have never seen a credible controlled test that shows polling vs interrupt-driven. So I guess either you were blind when you ran your own tests, or your own tests are not credible, controlled polling vs properly tuned interrupt-driven. As I have been saying all along. Now your agreeing with me. The only advantage of polling is that it will drop packets instead of going into livelock. The disadvantage is that it will drop packets when you have momentary bursts that would harmlessly put the machine into livelock. Thats about it. Ah, now I think suddenly I see what the chip on your shoulder is. You would rather have your router based on FreeBSD go into livelock while packets stack up, than drop anything. You tested the polling code and found that yipes, it drops packets. What may I ask do you think that a Cisco or other router does when you shove 10Mbt of traffic into it's Ethernet interface destined for a host behind a T1 that is plugged into the other end? (and no, source-quench is not the correct answer) I think the scenario of it being better to momentary go into livelock during an overload is only applicable to one scenario, where the 2 interfaces in the router are the same capacity. As in ethernet-to-ethernet routers. Most certainly not Ethernet-to-serial routers, like what most routers are that aren't on DSL lines. If you have a different understanding then please explain. I've read those datasheets as well and the thing I don't understand is that if you are pumping 100Mbt into an Etherexpress Pro/100 then if the card will not interrupt more than this throttled rate you keep talking about, then the card's interrupt throttling is going to limit the inbound bandwidth to below 100Mbt. Wrong again, Ted. It scares me that you consider yourself knowlegable about this. You can process # interrupts X ring_size packets; not one per interrupt. You're only polling 1000x per second (or whatever you have hz set to), so why do you think that you have to interrupt for every packet to do 100Mb/s? I never said anything about interrupting for every packet, did I? Of course not since I know what your talking about. However, it is you who are throwing around the numbers - or were in your prior post - regarding the fxp driver and hardware. Why should I have to do the work digging around in the datasheets and doing the math? Since you seem to be wanting to argue this from a theory standpoint, then your only option is to do the math. Go ahead, look up the datasheet for the 82557. I'm sure it's online somewhere, and tell us what it says about throttled interrupts, and run your numbers. Do you not understand that packet processing is the same whether its done on a clock tick or a hardware interrupt? Do you not understand that a clock tick has more overhead (because of other assigned tasks)? Do you not understand that getting exactly 5000 hardware interrupts is much more efficient than having 5000 clock tick interrupts per second? What part of this don't you understand? Well, one part I don't understand is why when one of those 5000 clock ticks happens and the fxp driver finds no packets to take off the card, that it takes the same amount of time for the driver to process

From man fopen:
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion fopen(), fdopen() and freopen() return a FILE
pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the global variable errno is
set to indicate the error.
That means that your code should be:
FILE *source;
source = fopen(/home/user/test.c, r);
if (!source) {
printf(fopen error);
exit(0);
};

File Integrity Checker Do You?
Do you think products such as tripwire, YAFIC, and other file checkers are necessary? Especially since you must check the reports daily and update the database. They do put a high load on my systems when they run. How many SysAdmins use products such as these? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NCQ Re: Disk write caching, hw.ata.wc and atacontrol disagree)
So hw.ata.wc thinks that the disk write cache is off, but atacontrol cap thinks the disk write cache is on? I remember this is working but there was a reporting problem in atacontrol. Looks like atacontrol cap reports the state of the disk *before* hw.ata.wc took effect. It would be less confusing if atacontrol cap reported the state of the disk at the time atacontrol is run. You should easily be able to tell whether it is on or off by the write performance. It should plummet by a factor of 4 or so. I'm seeing only ~10% of the performance I get with the write cache on. Which leads to: Feature Support EnableValue Vendor Native Command Queuing (NCQ) yes - 31/0x1F Where is the knob to turn on NCQ? My controller and disks claim to support it, but grepping the 6.0 man pages finds nothing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dual-core processors and FreeBSD 6.0
Hello, I would like to know if FreeBSD 6.0 supports dual-core CPU chips. Note, dual-core is different from dual CPU. On Jun. 13, 2005 PT Wired magazine explained a dual-core CPU as the following in a article titled The New Chips on the Block A dual-core processor differs from a single-core chip in that it has two physical computer processing unit, or CPU, cores on a single die.

This 10/100 PCI card is often found used for $5. IIRC back in the days when ftp.cdrom.com was setting single-machine 24 hour anonymous ftp server world records it was using these NICs. Another nice thing is former FreeBSDers apparently liked it well enough when they went to Apple that MacOS X automagically uses this non-Mac PC card with no additional drivers or nothing. And if one *must* use Windows the download-from-Intel drivers add significantly more function than the default Microsoft driver, such as VLAN support. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 5.4 smbfs problem
Dear All, My last email about mounting FreeBSD 6.0 stable box to our NT system has a problem. And now I've been downgrading to 5.4. The problem's gone. Is this a bug in FreeBSD 6.0 System ? Now i can mount our NT system from freeBSD 5.4Stable box, but i have a litle problem. I see in kernel log say : smb_maperror: Unmapped error 1:158 this log appear when i try to mounting and execute excel file from NT share. Then excel say something like sharing violation error ? Is this some kernel errors or samba errors ? Thanks for helping me.

Download the whole ports tree
Hi everyone, I have unlimited bandwidth for the next month or so and will not have access to the net again for a few month¹s after January. What I would like to do is grab a copy of the whole freeBSD ports tree while I can, so I can just play with different programs and things at will on a test server. Really just for my own amusement. Is it possible to get a copy of the whole ports tree down if I have enough free space etc etc, or just a copy of one branch like www???
