Red5 working on FreeBSD 7.0?

The Port Tester demo shows all status FAILED. I have asked at the Red5 lists, but with little success. I'm wondering if this is a FreeBSD specific issue.

[snip] Prad, Have a look at this URL: http://www.pugetsystems.com/articles.php?id=19 While I found this interesting, I also felt some data points could have been added. I believe these have some bearing for decision making as they better define the choice based upon what task, or purpose, the system is being called upon to perform. The concept that SATA subsystems will tend to consume more CPU cycles because SCSI controllers have onboard processors is somewhat nullified when considering controllers such as the Areca 1210 and the 3Ware type of products. One historical difference wrt to desktop type machines that manufacturers stuck RAID controllers on in order to have marketing buzzwords is that they were essentially useless for performance purposes. They were all hung off the Southbridge and were hamstrung by the maximum bus throughput between the South and North Bridge. The PCI-X bus was designed for server boards so this kind of bottleneck would not hamper performance. With the advent of PCI-E 8x slots and controllers this same situation has come to the SATA arena. The next consideration will be purpose: is the box going to be used as an inexpensive disk-to-disk NAS, file serving, or some other generic mode where size and high sequential throughput are primary concerns. Or is it called upon to perform lots of quick random selections of data such as a multithreaded database server? One item that gets lost in the RAID discussion is that, while sequential r/w performance generally goes up as you add more drives to the array, latency also increases. The additional latencies introduced may not matter as much to the sequential throughput scenario but will have more impact on the database server one. So the with sequential file serving it is OK to use 8-9ms seek time drives as we are more interested in sequential throughput and not as concerned with latency. Here SATA is probably a good match. For the high performance database server application you are going to want to use 3-4ms seek time drives to keep latencies under control while adding drives to the array. These are going to be the more expensive high RPM SAS and Fibre Channel drives. If you're already spending $40K/CPU for Oracle what's a few more dollars for Fibre Channel? :-) Can't wait for SSD devices to replace this.

The concept that SATA subsystems will tend to consume more CPU cycles because SCSI controllers have onboard processors is somewhat nullified when considering controllers such as the Areca 1210 and the 3Ware type of products. Which means to say that with the advent of more modern approaches the current SATA controllers and hard drive subsystems consume less cycles than their early IDE predecessors. Whether or not the difference is now more or less than SCSI, the delta is probably small enough to be nearly negligible.

Re: to scsi or not to scsi
I have a SCSI controller, two cd-rom drives and the external tape streamer on my workstation. No SCSI harddisk anymore. A 18 or 36GB harddisk is likely to be the SCSI-2 standard, this is the controller I have. In the past it was quite a speedy interface, but I guess even the older ATAs outperform it nowadays. The only thing what speaks for SCSI is up to 8 devices on one contoller and the fact that the disks 'speak' directly to each other. In my case, I can duplicate cd to cd without using much of the processors time. Well, this is more of technical interest but practical use. In a server it is a good thing if you have seperate ../mail and /tmp and /home directories on different disks--SCSI will be fast then. You can get the disks cheap, there cannot be much wrong. Just be aware that most of the SCSI disks were used in servers, they really were running day and night, are just worn out and this is what you often find on fleabay. If I had a single-hd workstation I would rather go for ATA or SATA.

small question about GEOM and dedicated disk
Hello list, I just bought a new disk to make my backups (with Bacula). As this disk will be used by FreeBSD only I'd like to use the dedicated mode (no bootable). So far I used to do something like: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=1k count=1 # newfs -L foo -U /dev/ad1 # mount /dev/ufs/foo /foo It seems to work like a charm. However, in the handbook (section 18.3.2.2) the procedure is a bit longer : # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=1k count=1 # bsdlabel -Bw da1 auto # bsdlabel -e da1 # newfs /dev/da1e # mkdir -p /1 # vi /etc/fstab # mount /1 Some questions: - - Is it mandatory to create at least one partition (e in this case) ? - Is it normal that there are no slices in this example ? Is it common to create a partition without any slice in the dedicated mode ? - What are the differences between my method and the one in the handbook ? in advance thanks, Julien ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Phttpget problems (freebsd-update)
Anyone else experiencing issues related to phttpget when using freebsd-update? What I'm finding is that there is just enough delay between retrieval of the 6.2 and the 6.3 patches; that the upstream firewall closes the NAT. Then phttpget attempts to retrieve the 6.3 patch set and just assumes the session is already open. Firewall sends a RST back and phttpget doesn't attempt a new 3-way handshake. The end result is freebsd-update then just gives up. If it helps at all, I'm so far only seeing this happen behind a Cisco ASA appliance. Anybody else seen this and/or have a suggested work around?

Split or switch ssh pseudoconsole

What I'm finding is that there is just enough delay between retrieval of the 6.2 and the 6.3 patches; that the upstream firewall closes the NAT.

gmirror metadata: end of slice or end of disk?
Hi folks, I'm trying to understand exactly where on disk gmirror is going to write its metadata, and was hoping I could elicit comments on whether I have this right or not. Assume my disk, da1, has a single slice, and I partition it as follows (i'm making up sector sizes for the sake of simplicity): length start a: 100 16 4.2BSD b:10 116swap c: 626 0 d: 500 1264.2BSD If I then use 'gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da1s1', my belief is that gmirror will write its metadata into sector 499 (the last sector in the slice, which falls in partition 'd'). Thus, the disk I want to mirror (da0) should have a 'd' partition that is 499 sectors in size. If it were 500, I would be asking for trouble down the road. Taking a slightly different approach, consider the recommendations here: http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/1175552464/index_html where the command to establish the metadata is gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da0 I believe that means the metadata will be written in the last sector of the disk. Presumably this is part of the space left when fdisk is used to set up the FreeBSD slice (assuming a single slice - and i'm assuming there is virtually always space left), so the recommendation (setting up gmirror on your live system disk) should work. Have I got that right? Assuming a single slice configuration, is there a reason to prefer one approach over the other? (i.e. metadata at end of slice versus at end of disk)? thanks in advance, mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

rc scripts

The problems I'm having are multiple. First, the program doesn't offer
any logging, and running it with the do not daemonize switch with
# /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -d 21 logfile
yields no output.
Then, I'm not sure I understand everything I'm reading in rc.subr(8), but
from trial error, I've discovered that modifying the script's command
variable doesn't work, nor does adding the usual scriptname_flags
directive to /etc/rc.conf.

Add:

at the top of the script and run the output to a file as you were doing. I
would add a path to the logfile though and don't worry about the daemon like:
/usr/local/sbin/ntpd start 21 /tmp/logfile
Then you can kill it off and see what the startup looked like in the logfile.

I need to an '-s' flag to the execution of openntpd's rc script:

The problems I'm having are multiple. First, the program doesn't offer
any logging, and running it with the do not daemonize switch with
# /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -d 21 logfile
yields no output.
Then, I'm not sure I understand everything I'm reading in rc.subr(8), but
from trial error, I've discovered that modifying the script's command
variable doesn't work, nor does adding the usual scriptname_flags
directive to /etc/rc.conf.
Scriptname_flags doesn't work because the port maintainer didn't write the
startup script so that it parses rc.conf for variables. You can edit the
script like this:
command_args=-s
When rc.subr runs scripts, it runs them like this:
${command} ${command_args} ${command_flags}
Or you can add this to the startup script and then use flags in rc.conf:
load_rc_config openntpd
openntpd_flags=${openntpd_flags:-}
(In that order.)
Then place openntpd_flags=-s in rc.conf.
Just remember that every time the port is updated, your changes will be
overwritten, so you'll need to make a backup or leave a note to yourself
somewhere so you remember to alter the new script.

Cpufreq powernow K8 question
Hi all, I am using FreeBSD 7 RELEASE for AMD64. I have the powernow k8 driver through cpufreq. I am able to change the frequency from 800 MHz to 1600 MHz and vice-versa. However, I miss the on-demand feature I had with Linux. How can I configure it to make the driver change the frequency automatically? Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD-7.0 Release and Camera?
A little more info - I now have gphoto2 recognizing and downloading my images, but only in a terminal window.

null bytes after ANSI sequences in color 'ls' output
After I upgraded 6.2-STABLE (Feb 2007-ish) to 6.3-STABLE (last week), my colorized 'ls -G' output is now plagued with 8 null bytes following each ANSI sequence. I normally pipe my output to 'less -R' so ANSI sequences pass through while other control characters are converted to visible ones. This worked great until now. Now I see '^@' for each null. It's not a new feature of less, so I assume it's ls or curses throwing in the nulls. For example, I'm getting output like this if I use 'ls -G | less': ESC[36mMailESC[39;[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ It's the '^@'s that are unexpected, although the repeated ESC[m pairs are also mysterious since they seem to have no purpose. If I use 'ls -G | less -R', then the ANSI sequences pass through as they should, but I still get the nulls. Questions: Is this is reproducible? Should I file a PR? FWIW, my tcsh TERM environment variable is vt100-color. I'm using SecureCRT with vt100 emulation and ANSI color.

Off Topic: Sunbird calendar server?
This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a Calendar Server that is compatible with Sunbird? Basically, I have a personal calender, then we have a Holidays calendar and my girlfriend has her own calendar. We want to be able to share the Holidays calendar and also share out/view each others. She is a fan of Google Calendars (which I admit works well), but I'm a fan of Sunbird (since it's local and don't need internets for it to work). I could probably convert her to Sunbird if I found a good way to share out our calendars. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
