Don't worry about ATAPI/CAM; it won't be used by burncd, and won't work any better than direct ATAPI drivers if the device isn't recognized as a CDRW.

I think ethereal/wireshark is your best bet too. At least with it you
can filter on the userid making an NFS request (it's rpc.auth.uid).
Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a summary or analysis option
for NFS, so you'll have to count packets maually...
But my problem is the NFS traffic is heavy in standard time, and wireshark
or tcpdump give my lot of lot of data.
Thanks
Use the force luke
I like this ;-)
You only need 100 packets (you may decide to increase) that are directed to
your server, to the NFS daemon.
tcpdump -c 100 -nq dst port nfs and dst host $HOST
You don't need to interpret this info, you need to know who is originating
the
traffic, lets extract the ip that are originating the traffic
nawk 'BEGIN {FS=[ .]; OFS=.} {print $4,$5,$6,$7}'
But, who generate more traffic?
Lets count how many packets are originating each one of those ip
nawk '{packets[$1]++} END{for (ip in packets){print packets[ip], ip}}'
And order it
sort -rn
Use pipes to connect all the commands, if this situation is very common,
create a shell.
Thanks again.

I think so.

IPFW Pipes, upload pipe working at 1/3 of pipe banwidth
Hello guys, I've tried last weekend different setups of IPFW + Dummynet in order to shape traffic. Because my rules did not worked well I've simplified rules as much as possible, until I've reach basics and I've discovered that, having a FreeBSD 6.2 router (cvsuped few days ago to stable) with 2 pipes, one for download and one for upload, downloads from LAN works at full speed of pipe, uploads from LAN works at 1/3 of pipe speed. Tests was done for ftp upload and download, on 100 mbps network, 90 mbps pipes. Now my ipfw rules are: --- 7 153 15816 allow ip from any to me 8 144 20434 allow ip from me to any 00010 0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00020 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.1 04200 23456 43328 pipe 1 ip from 192.168.254.0/24 to any 04300 3453 34322 pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.254.0/24 65535 0 0 deny ip from any to any I've tried lot of rules like: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 9kbits/s ipfw pipe 2 config bw 9kbits/s ipfw add 100 pipe 1 ip from any to any in recv fxp0 ipfw add 100 pipe 2 ip from any to any out xmit fxp0 I've tried to shape on outgoing too, on 2 interfaces, to shape in both ways, knowing that shaping is done when packets leave the interface. Every rule I set, I do not have upload with speed more than 3MBytes/s (instead of 9MBytes/s) Download works well. The only thing that must mentioned is that router is connected to the other computer from which I do tests (uploaddownload) using a crossover cable with interfaces configured using Vlans on both sides, the same VLAN ID. (I need this for my complex setup I've tried to achieve). The computer is P IV 2.8, no other firewall is present, if I ipfw disable firewall the transfer rate on ftp upload is at full network cards speed. When using firewall and transferring (uploading), I have 98% CPU idle, I did not noticed any bottleneck on server, the box is very minimalistinc, only with base installation, midnight commander and few small aps. Anybody have an idea how could I improve upload speed? best regards, ovidiu ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Sendmail source code is around 1.5MB whereas Postfix is around 2.8MB. That's not a big difference but still, the size of a CD is limited.

urgent sendmail question
Hello, I know if I poked around enough, I could find the answer, but am up against the wall here and need a quick solution. I just discovered a major problem with my sendmail configurations. Just recently started consolidating servers by virtual hosting apache, several servers on one box. Problem is that the web app sometimes send automated emails to users, and now they're getting bounced back because the emails are going out with @fakename.mydomain.org instead of @mydomain.org. Since there is no DNS entry for fakename.mydomain.org, recipient's mail servers are rejecting these emails from my servers. So I have an apache box, fakename.mydomain.org, hosting 5 virtual hosts with unique domain names that do have public dns records. I need to all outbound mail appear to be coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED], as long as it can be resolved by the remote mail server. My sendmails are configured to listen on 127.0.0.1 only, since I'm using to send, not receive. Please help!

Use the force luke

tcpdump -c 100 -nq dst port nfs and dst host $HOST
You don't need to interpret this info, you need to know who is originating

nawk 'BEGIN {FS=[ .]; OFS=.} {print $4,$5,$6,$7}'
But, who generate more traffic?
Lets count how many packets are originating each one of those ip
nawk '{packets[$1]++} END{for (ip in packets){print packets[ip], ip}}'

I've two servers :
Server A (NFS) --- NFS -- Server B
On server A there one service is NFS, and server B is it's client.
On server B I've lot of users, some users make very huge transfert throught
NFS (what I don't want), huge = ~ 10-100 Go in one time (big file).
I want to known who did this, because I've lot of users it's not easy to
known when I'm using top/ps to known who did this (sometime it's the output
of some scientifique software).
The solution you give me can tell me the name of server B, but this thing I

I *am* a happy qmail user, but this is something I just don't get. It is filesystem dependent when a write to a filesystem actually becomes permanent (even when O_(D)SYNC is specified in the open syscall, that just makes sure the file data is committed immediately to disk), in the sense that if you switch off the power without syncing, that after filesystem reconstruction on reboot the file is still there, with its contents. (think about delayed metadata-updates on FreeBSD UFS2, for example, ReiserFS has a similar kind of behaviour wrt. updating its B-tree) Only after this true commit has happened is the MTA actually able to give a proper 200 in reply to finishing the SMTP DATA-command, because it can be sure that the mail won't be lost under all normal circumstances (besides having the HD hardware fail, which generally isn't catered for by the MTA). Qmail simply doesn't check properly (in the case of ReiserFS) whether the file has been truly committed before it gives out the 200 reply, so basically, if you deploy ReiserFS (which is known to cache its B-tree aggressively) and have a power-outage while Qmail is writing the queue file to disk, you're at odds that the mail is lost simply because Qmail has already given out the 200 reply to the remote server, even though the file information hasn't been committed to the ReiserFS B-tree (or the journal) yet, so that the file won't be recreated during journal-replay. -- Heiko Wundram Product Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Questions on the scheduler
I've heard a lot of winging about the FreeBSD scheduler from Linux people, and even saw that is the reason for one fork off of FreeBSD. In my experience, I've gotten better performance out of FreeBSD on single or multi-CPU systems than I have out of Linux or Windows (or really any other system). Are these complains I hear of outdated, am I hallucinationg, or is there another answer? Although this is probably a better question for -current, what is the state of the scheduler(s), and what would be some good reading on the subject (specifically to BSD, and not just schedulers in general)?

CMS ideas and suggestions
Hello everyone, At the suggestion of someone who responded to my requests for help with WebGUI, I decided to ask this question here. What CMS programs would the community here suggest for use because, to be frank, I'm less than impressed with WebGUI. It is for use with my church. The following are at least some of the requirements. 1) Most important, it must be completely simple for the computer illiterate and especially web illiterate to maintain. Basically, a very simple and easy to use GUI interface for web site maintenance is a must. 2) Calendaring 3) Username/password authentication to the site for maintenance and upkeep. Ideally, this system would use OpenSSL or something similar for encrypting username/password combinations. 4) The capacity for a public and then private side to the church web site. That is, we'd like the ability to have the front end that is available to the world, e.g. welcome to the church, etc. Then have an area for church members to log into that provides greater depth to information access (perhaps prayer chains, etc.). They are the must haves for the site, now for the like to have also in the site. 1) Possibly, though probably not a deal breaker if not possible, a system that would allow a central figure to review changes made by individuals before being published to the site. 2) Written in PHP. 3) Utilizes PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. 4) Has an integrated (or module available) to allow e-mail access, i.e. send/receive. 5) If possible, something in the FreeBSD ports collection. Just a quick review of Content Management Systems from www.freshports.org, I saw and am interested in comments about tikiwiki. However, I saw while looking through Content Management Systems at wikipedia, that there are many open source, freely available CMS programs to be looked at.

Of course the caching schemes etc. incorporated in several of those help, but even the caches need memory that is free and preferably not in the hard disk.

Definitely possible, but if you've taken the time to remove the drive and plug it into another machine with FreeBSD on it, you can save another step and just clone that system onto the new drive and remove any host-specific config, or fetch the raw distribution files and extract them onto the new drive.

Just by marking a partition as bootable, will not make it boot, and neither copying the FreeBSD CD contents will. You have to write a suitable boot sector that will load the rest of the OS, be it DOS, Windows, FreeBSD or whatever. And the fact remains, to install FreeBSD you have to boot into the FreeBSD kernel. After that it would be no problem installing from files on a FAT partition. It would certainly be a lot less trouble to connect a floppy drive, boot from it, and continue with your partition based install. In fact, in your case I would simply remove the disk, place it on another machine, do a base install, copy the CD contents to a folder, move it back to the other machine and continue from there. If, in fact, the machine has fast internet access, the basic setup is all you need.

Re: migrate from postfix to qmail

Recently i have setup one mail server with postfix-dovecot and i would like to migrate it to Qmail server. but i didn't know how to do it. Someone can give help me? Thanks. The short answer should be that you just install the mail/qmail port. The details of how to move the mailboxes to the new server depend on what mailbox format you are using now. If they are Maildir format, Qmail will be able to use them with no changes. If they are not Maildir format, you will need to post that information. But please do not use Qmail -- it pollutes everyone else's mailbox with blowback spam. If someone has convinced you that you want to use Qmail, I strongly recommend that you consider Courier instead. It was designed to be a drop-in replacement for Qmail, but does not have most of the problems that Qmail has. The configuration files are very similar to Qmail, so Qmail training should transfer to Courier pretty readily. If you are putting this on the same server you now use for postfix/dovecot, you will probably need to edit /etc/rc.conf to disable your old mail program and enable the new one. E.g. if there is a 'postfix_enable=YES' statement, you may need to replace it with something like 'courier_enable=YES'. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Without a specific problem referencing a specific version, it's just idle chatter and useless for anything other than exercising your jaw between beers. If you have a specific performance problem, I highly recommend you file a PR with plenty of details. This is what happened with both MySQL and PostgreSQL and the result is that FreeBSD 7's ability to run those applications has improved dramatically. I doubt you're hallucinating, but without specifics, it's difficult to say what you're hearing. Lots of people think they can do benchmarking, but few (in my experience) are capable of legitimately doing a non-biased comparison that can really be trusted.

Are these complains I hear of outdated, Probably. I think you are talking about SMP performance. A few years ago FreeBSD had good performance on single CPUs, but didn't scale very well onto machines with multiple CPUs, unlike Linux and Solaris. The kernel wasn't really designed to work this way and a lot of the code was protected by a single Giant Lock. Companies like Yahoo and Hotmail (pre-Microsoft) tended to use FreeBSD where the load could be shared between many low-end machines. The FreeBSD response was to make the kernel more SMP friendly with finer-grained locking, and to bring-in the ULE scheduler. Dragonfly BSD was a fork off 4.x by people who thought a more radical kernel rewrite was needed. Their kernel avoids a lot of the locking problems by using message queues. As I understand it the locking problems were addressed in 5/6-current. There are still problems with the ULE scheduler in 6.x, but they have been fixed in 7-current, and things scale roughly as they should with multiple cores/cpus. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You also have to give permission permissions by editing /etc/devfs.conf perm /dev/dsp* 0666 (dsp stands for synthetic sound) and probably the next one would not hurt perm /dev/pci* 0666 It would help if you tell us your set up (which audio card you use, which driver and so on before somebody can say something more).

It adds a PXE timeout to each boot; the upside is that replacing a wedging or otherwise broken install is just a matter of reconfiguring a DHCP server. You could instead load pxegrub and have it boot from the disk instead of waiting for the PXE timeout. Or, if you're willing to accept a network-booted loader, how about just having it load and boot the kernel from the disk? Someone suggested this approach, but it gets complicated when I add more benchmarking clients to the mix later in the project. I know I can add host-specific setup to dhcpd.conf, and it's possible to do similar things with NFS (I'm installing over NFS) to put the main server in charge of controlling the clients, but it gets complicated if they aren't rebooting synchronously. I'd rather have the clients be in charge of when they reinstall (e.g. when the distribution-building machine has completed the next set of install files). I like Jan Grants idea, but it'll only work if FreeBSD crashes and reboots, not if it hangs, drops to debugger etc. Still, better than nothing! But until I have more time to play around, I'll let the clients commit their post-benchmarking suicide.

nvidia-driver rebooting machine on X startup
I came across this thread on freebsd-questions after some searching on google. I have the exact same issue as others here- if xorg is started with 'nvidia' as the driver, instant reboot. However, my machine is a 100% fresh install with things compiled from source this weekend. However, I did have to install some binary vncserver packages, but they have since been removed. I did the 'xorg' meta port which got me the current xorg-7.3_1. The machine I did the install on was running Debian Unstable for about a year without issue with the same hardware (two cards for 3 monitors): Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia0: GeForce 7100 GS mem 0xdd00-0xddff,0xb000-0xbfff,0xde00-0xdeff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED] Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia1: GeForce FX 5200 mem 0xdb00-0xdbff,0xc000-0xcfff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci3 Sep 24 13:41:24 falz kernel: nvidia1: [GIANT-LOCKED] I went through many of the steps people spoke of earlier in this thread, which were some AGP workarounds that are mentioned in Chapter 9: /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-100.14.11/doc/README No matter what is done, always an instant reboot if I use the nvidia driver in the xorg.conf. Out of curiosity, is anyone actively using xorg-7.3_1 with nvidia-driver-100.14.11 and having it work? I too am not quite sure what to look for in the output of 'ldconfig -r', but I can see that there is nothing linked against any pre-xorg 7.x stuff there: # ldconfig -R | grep X11 | wc -l 0 Also, the person who had things linked that were stale appears to have been having a different problem that does NOT cause a reboot: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=94938 Thanks, falz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC
It looks like a process associated with Postfix is eating up all of the memory and crashing the system. Im trying to find out which one now. Thanks for you help. Thron On Mon Sep 24 9:13 , Bill Moran sent: In response to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I have a new 6.2 install running postfix, amavisd-new, clamav and SpamAssassin and over the weekend the server stopped responding with the following error. collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC. I did some google searching on the error and found the same problem with Apache, but none with my configuration. Most of the sites say to increase the PMAP_SHPGPERPROC, but none say how or what to increase it to. I've never seen a modern version of FreeBSD lock up as a result of this, so that's a little odd. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I should go about troubleshooting this or what I should change my PMAP_SHPGPERPROC to? Could this be a one time fluke and I shouldnt worry about it? I had to research this earlier this year. The default is 200, so in my case, raising the value to 250 solved the problem. I fixed it by adding the setting to my kernel config and building a new kernel. I believe you can also set it in loader.conf I haven't tried setting it higher than 250 (haven't had the need) but I've seen some posts suggesting that setting it too high can cause kernel panics. I recommend bumping it to 250, then go to 300 if the problem doesn't go away -- but in any event, don't increase it drastically. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I forced portsclean -L but why on the earth it did remove the gcc lib
since it's not installed by the ports?
Is there away to recover it now?
portsclean should never touch anything out of /usr/local/and base gcc
should not depend on anything in /usr/local. I'd suspect that setting an
environmental variable such as PORTSDIR might cause this, but that seem
unlikely to have happened without a serious intent.
Is it possible that you are not running the base gcc? ('which gcc' and 'gcc
-v') It should be in /usr/bin and the version for a recent current
should be 4.2.1 20070719.
Is it possible that the portsclean was merely coincidental? Could
something else have happened at about the same time?
