General Mysql Performance Question
Hey All, Recently I've been asked to do performance testing of postgres and mysql on FreeBSD. Kris' page (http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/scaling/mysql.html) was extremely useful in giving me a starting point for my own comparisons. Additionally, his name is splattered all over the web with patches, tuning tips, etc. For that, I thank you Kris. With that said, I've come across something that I can not find the answer to and I'm hoping I have missed something incredibly simple. If this has been mentioned before, then I apologize in advance. http://paul.procacci.me/benchmarks/freebsd7-Release.html My question is in reference to the 1st and 2nd graphs on this page. While testing the performance of the databases given in this graph, the one thing that sticks out is that when Mysql uses the myisam engine with the ULE schedular, performance drops quite considerably regardless of mysql version. The clearly shows ULE to perform worst at higher work loads than 4BSD, at least in this one example. Now, I read that lockmgr code is still a work in progress, but I'm unsure if that applies specifically to this specific problem that I'm providing. What I'm hoping for quite frankly is a yes, this is because type of response. This isn't a problem per se, but rather a curiosity type of question.

That kind of thing is fairly common when you have a workload with high contention; if you improve performance at one bottleneck the performance at a later bottleneck can get worse. Performance will still be better on other workloads, or when further work improves the other bottlenecks.

Re: Problem in FreeBSD 7.x, in Xorg switching consoles.
Ha! Seems that I'm not alone with this! :-) On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:11:23 -0700 (PDT), Christopher Joyner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I switch from my Xorg running KDE, for some reason it pushes a string as keypresses to the KDE. I do not know if it's on return, or on exit. I have a similar problem: Whenever I return to X, coming from a text mode console, the content of the edit buffer (select with mouse, output with middle button) gets output to the window that has the focus at this moment (focus on mouse, not on click). In Opera, the right-click mouse menu is shown. In an X terminal, the text is passed to the shell - and executed, if it contains a line break (usually if multiline text was in the buffer). Here is my setup! On tty3 is my Xorg KDE desktop. On tty8 is a getty login. I use alt+ctrl+f8 to enter the login screen on tty8. I then switch back by using alt+ctrl+f3, and enter the KDE desktop. But then for some reason something crazy happens. If i was using the konqueror web browser, the address would get replaced and it would go to a bogus website. Try to reproduce this, maybe we're encountering the same problem: Select some text with the mouse, open an editor or X terminal and place the mouse into it (or assert that it has focus according to your focus model). Then, switch Ctrl+Alt+PF8, and return to X with Ctrl+Alt+PF3. Is the text you had selected now in the X terminal or the editor? If not, don't mind my reply. So I decided to put up a blank text pad in kedit to see what happens. What I get is a url string is pushed to the pad. I believe this happens when coming back to the Desktop KDE. If it's the same problem that I have, it's generic to X.org, because I'm using WindowMaker, not KDE, and I've tried XFCE 3 and 4, too, with the same problem. It seems that the URI that is passed to Konqueror is in the edit butter. Try to press the middle mouse button within an editor.

It's working fine, but once in a while I have to use other, unencrypted networks and that presents a problem. How do I connect to these with the least amount of trouble? Right now it involves commenting out the line in rc.conf, restarting netif, manually configuring ifconfig and running dhclient. Surely there must be a better way to do this...?

Re: defrag
CP/M was single-user and was used on floppies up to 360kB AFAIK, And MP/M was multi-user, using the same filesystem. From memory, there was perhaps one byte that indicated which user owned a file :) in CP/M there were users too, but it was just to help keeping it clear, not for security, you could simply type user n to switch users AFAIK. It wasn't (straight-up) theft; MS cut a deal with IBM to use HPFS and OS/2, more or less in exchange for letting IBM licence Windows 3.1 as WINOS/2 When things went sour - google provides days of happy reading if you're interested - MS morphed it into NTFS for NT, cruelled the deal with IBM so OS/2 couldn't run NT/Win95 apps (signing OS/2's death warrant, though it took a long time to die) and stopped distributing OS/2 themselves. a little better than theft but... as you said writing a few-paged document or view a webpage Yeah, yeah :) I'd be surprised if NTFS isn't as defrag-proof as HPFS, which as I recall had self-defragging garbage-collecting features built exactly like in microsoft. they quickly created similar filesystem not even really understanding it, or if they did - simply ignoring things. used it for quite a few years to run BBS and Fidonet stuff, not once losing any data .. HPFS was a very resiliant and reliable filesystem. i never used OS/2 for really long, my friend was. it was faster than FAT by much, and never had FS crash. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

at FAT. possibly untrue in Win NT, From what I've read, it's a journalling filesytem based on a i mean FAT partition under NT. I see that ext4 the successor to ext3, and which also has extent support, has a defragmenter. And it appears to give significant increases in read speeds. still it's something wrong if it needs the defragmenter at all...

Outputting of the edit buffer does not happen when switching the text mode consoles. FreeBSD 7.x with Xorg. FreeBSD 7 Stable, xorg-7.3_1. By the way, could you try another thing I find problematic since using X.org? Setting: Switch on Num Lock first. Open an X terminal. Have an image file available, and xzgv. Then run xzgv -tz inage from within the terminal. When you quit xzgv with the 'q' key, Num Lock LED will go off, but Num Lock mode will still be on. Press Num Lock key twice, LED is there again. Now run xmms by typing xmms, and quit it. Same thing. And now, run gv and quit it. Now Num Lock keeps on! Same with xpdf.

Script To Execute command via mail
I have an interesting situation. I have a windows based sms server, this machine works in the following way. It watches a shared directory for txt files that must be formatted in certain way and periodically sends them off to mobile. What I want to do is create a SMTP to SMS gateway. Easy in theory! Rite a script to map shared drive, ensure it's connected and write the txt files in dir. However the second part I have no idea, somehow I need to watch the mbox file of say a e-mail account called test And IF a mail arrives parse it look for a security key if exists convert to txt file and copy to shared dir.

Re: Make World Inside Jail
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Jason C. Wells wrote: I currently use a separate machine to make world and to make and archive ports and packages. I would like to retire that machine and move that functionality into a jail. I am due to switch to 7.1 from 6.3 soon. I understand that I cannot run divergent kernels in the jails. I could still make a 7.1-RELEASE world on a 6.3-RELEASE jail and installworld into the jail. That would leave me with a very strange jail system with a new generation system (binaries / libs / includes / utils / ports) with an old generation kernel. The only purpose of the jails is compiling world and installing ports. The parent system on which the jails reside cannot be made unreliable due to running the mishmash old/new jails. I'll need to run NFS servers and telnet servers inside the jails. Systems on my network would mount the jail's /usr/obj, /usr/src and /usr/ports via NFS to facilitate installworld and port upgrades. Can I make this work? Am I asking for trouble? Thanks, Jason Hi Jason, You might want to have a look at Tinderbox: http://tinderbox.marcuscom.com/ This tool helps you build packages in a controlled environment, based on your specified src tree, ports tree and port options. I believe you'll need to install it on at least a 7.1-RELEASE system if you want to build packages for that OS version. I am currently working on a VMware virtual machine that's preinstalled with 8.0-STABLE and Tinderbox so anyone can very easily build packages for 6.3, 7.x and 8.0-STABLE.

ports are broken on AMD64.
AFAIK, it is not as much a question of ports being broken, but there are
some ports that have 'ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=i386' set, e.g. because they are
binary-only ports (e.g. flash plugin, nvidia driver) or because they
contain i386 assembly code or because the code contains assumptions that
are true on i386 but not on amd64 (like the size of a pointer being
equal to the size of an integer).
To see which ports are restricted to certain architectures, try the
following command:
find /usr/ports -type f -name Makefile -exec grep -H ONLY_FOR_ARCH {} \;|less
I would think if they worked on other 64-bit processors they'd work on
AMD64. Were the ports that are broken on AMD64 also broken on those
other architectures, too?

NFS and File Over Write Performance
Just curious if anyone has run into this before. We are testing an HP DL380 G5 Storage Server. The odd thing I'm experiencing is when over writing a file on the NFS share with the FreeBSD NFS client my transfer speed is about 1/3 of what it is if I'm creating a new file on the share. This is all over a 1Gb link and I'm using clpbar to monitor speeds on the copy. From my tests, initial file creation gets me about 89MB/s, while overwriting gets me about 25MB/s The same test using RHEL4 as the client gives a consistent 79MB/s for creation and overwrite. Seems very strange and I've tested from FreeBSD 6.2, 6.3 and 7.0, all with the same results. Any thoughts?

It wasn't (straight-up) theft; MS cut a deal with IBM to use HPFS and OS/2, more or less in exchange for letting IBM licence Windows 3.1 as WINOS/2 When things went sour - google provides days of happy reading if you're interested - MS morphed it into NTFS for NT, cruelled the deal with IBM so OS/2 couldn't run NT/Win95 apps (signing OS/2's death warrant, though it took a long time to die) and stopped distributing OS/2 themselves. It might be worth mentioning that things deteriorated swiftly when IBM insisted that Microsoft, who was writing OS/2 for IBM, write the code specifically for the 286 processor. Bill Gates personally invaded the Armonk IBM headquarters and basically told the IBM execs that they were making a colossal mistake. When IBM refused to back down, Gates gave them what they wanted. The rest is history. IBM signed their own 'death warrant'. Remember, Gates once offered to sell DOS to IBM for $10,000 dollars, and IBM turned him down.

Secondly, you obviously have no business knowledge. Products, whether they are cars, drugs, etc. are improved and reissued to the general public. That is just the name of the game. Yeah, yeah :) I'd be surprised if NTFS isn't as defrag-proof as HPFS, which as I recall had self-defragging garbage-collecting features built in; certainly I never felt the need to defrag any HPFS volumes, and I used it for quite a few years to run BBS and Fidonet stuff, not once losing any data .. HPFS was a very resiliant and reliable filesystem. If you compare: % find /usr/src -name *hpfs* with % find /usr/src -name *ntfs* you'll go 'hmmm ..' and if you look through the sources you'll see whole large slabs of code that are shared between those two implementations, by the same author.

Port: mysql-server-5.1.22 Path: /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server Info: Multithreaded SQL database (server) Maint: [EMAIL PROTECTED] B-deps: gettext-0.16.1_3 gmake-3.81_2 libiconv-1.11_1 libtool-1.5.24 mysql-client-5.1.22 R-deps: mysql-client-5.1.22 WWW:http://www.mysql.com/ ... # pkg_add -rK mysql51-server Added group mysql. Added user mysql. ... Note the messages regarding the added group and user. joeb wrote: To autostart mysql at boot add this to /etc/rc.conf mysql_enable=YES Add this to /etc/rc.conf to direct to use this location where there is disk space to hold your databases mysql_dbdir=/usr/local/mysql mysql_enable and mysql_dbvar are briefly documented in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: # Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mysql: # mysql_enable (bool): Set to NO by default. # Set it to YES to enable MySQL. # mysql_limits (bool): Set to NO by default. # Set it to yes to run `limits -e -U mysql` # just before mysql starts. # mysql_dbdir (str):Default to /var/db/mysql # Base database directory. # mysql_args (str): Custom additional arguments to be passed # to mysqld_safe (default empty). You have to tell mysql to create its internal control db by running this command one time first before trying to create databases. mysql_install_db --user=mysql The usage message for /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db states: --user=user_name The login username to use for running mysqld. Files and directories created by mysqld will be owned by this user. You must be root to use this option. By default mysqld runs using your current login name and files and directories that it creates will be owned by you. Your pointer likely saved me from running mysql_install_db as root and then wondering why the server blows up when started (trying to read/write files owned by root). The online mysql manual is at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index.html The MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual (English) is here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/index.html To start or stop mysql server do this /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server stop ... To verify mysql is operational issue these commands mysqladmin version mysqladmin variables To start command line session with mysql server to create a DB enter mysql -u root ... The mysql databases and log files are written here /var/db/mysql Okay. Thanks!

Re: Dual (zaphod) head on Intel i810 does not work for FreeBSD V7.0 Release
Hi, Using the intel driver, I can *ALMOST* get there. What I want to do is run KDE and general apps on the first screen - LVDS ( :0.0 ) and run one single X app on the second screen - CRT ( :0.1 ). Using the intel drivers, I can't get KDE to leave the second screen alone. In fact, it keeps moving the panel to it. The docs with the intel driver say it just doesn't support dual (zaphod) head mode. Are the i810 drivers still in use? They also *ALMOST* get there in zaphod mode - they just stuff the screen modes at the last moment.

It seems to get the primary and secondary screens totally confused. Ray Newman 29 Aug 2008 With X 1.4, use driver intel ( x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel ) and xrandr to achieve the same effect. This has the benefit of dynamically enabling or disabling additional heads. The configuration is slightly different, here is a pertinent snippet from mine for comparison. There is only one device, screen and monitor specified in the conf.

It's enabled from my .xinitrc with a command like 'xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024 --left-of LVDS'. Apparently due to hardware limitations, if your 'Virtual' is more than 2048x2048 in any dimension, then DRI won't work.
