Where is my STRFILE?
Hi Daemons, strange, I have the manpage of strfile, but not the binary itself. I think its supposed to be content of every freebsd default installation? Or not? Its not a port, isnt it? Can please anybody check and invoke strfile on his comp? I have FreeBSD 7.1 here. I want my fortunes back, they dont install without strfile!!

Re: Performance problem with samba/zfs
Jonathan Belson wrote: I just moved my work to an exported UFS partition and I've seen the same problem appear a couple of times. It's possibly a little less frequent though. So with zfs off the hook, it's possible that the problem lies with samba (or maybe the editor itself, although I don't remember ever coming across the issue before). I've tried a different Windows editor and the problem still occurs, so it is mostly likely a problem with samba itself. I will try increasing the debug level of smbd and see if that throws up any clues.

read() vs fread()
Hi BSD guys,
While I was doing simple file read test, I found that there is a huge
difference in file read performance between read() and fread(). I'm
wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if someone has experienced
similar things.
Here is what I did,
For the specific application, I need to bypass cache (I read only
once, and that's all)
The test file is 700Mbytes dummy file.
Test app just reads the whole file.
Test is done on FreeBSD 7.1 amd 64, Celeron E1200, WD Caviar SE16 SATA 7200 RPM
For test 1,
fd = open(name, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
while(...) {
cnt = read();
}
for test 2,
fd = open(name, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
file = fdopen(fd,r);
while(...) {
cnt = fread();
}
test 1 takes about 11.64 seconds (63 MBytes/s), and test 2 takes about
51.53 seconds (14 MBytes/s)
If I use the pair of fopen() and fread(), it will have cache effect,
so the result doesn't say much of hdd performance.
Personally, I don't think the overhead of fread() (wrapper in libc) is
that huge. What would be the reason for this?
Thanks.

Re: read() vs fread()

Hi BSD guys,
While I was doing simple file read test, I found that there is a huge
difference in file read performance between read() and fread(). I'm
wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if someone has experienced
similar things.
Here is what I did,
For the specific application, I need to bypass cache (I read only
once, and that's all)
The test file is 700Mbytes dummy file.
Test app just reads the whole file.
Test is done on FreeBSD 7.1 amd 64, Celeron E1200, WD Caviar SE16 SATA 7200
RPM
For test 1,
fd = open(name, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
while(...) {
cnt = read();
}
for test 2,
fd = open(name, O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
file = fdopen(fd,r);
while(...) {
cnt = fread();
}
test 1 takes about 11.64 seconds (63 MBytes/s), and test 2 takes about
51.53 seconds (14 MBytes/s)
If I use the pair of fopen() and fread(), it will have cache effect,
so the result doesn't say much of hdd performance.
Personally, I don't think the overhead of fread() (wrapper in libc) is
that huge. What would be the reason for this?
The reason is that by default a FILE has a really small internal buffer. Take
a look at gstat(8) while running the test: you can clearly see an insane
amount of I/O requests being done (almost 5000 reads per second on my HDD).
To solve this call setvbuf(3):
setvbuf(file, buf, _IOFBF, bufsize);
A bufsize of 16k or bigger should help a lot. After this modification, I see
about 900 reads per second (using bufsize = 64k) and the read speed is equal
to the read(2) case.

Pieter de Goeje

This question is really more germane to a VIm mail list
(http://www.vim.org/) , but I'll tell you how'd I'd do it.
First, turn on line numbers --
:set nu
:3,8s/^/#/
That's all there is too it. BTW, VIm help is your friend
OR just mark the block visually and then do a
:',' s:/^/#/
the ',' will appear automatically as soon as you hit : after marking
the visual block.
On vim you can also use a keyboard macro in this way:
1G (or whatever the line you wanna start from)
qa^i#escjq (the macro itself)
