Whats the ETA for MFC from trunk-stable/8 for http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revisionrevision=199714 ** FWIW, loki is working nicely on 8.0-RELEASE geom+zfs. 3) I nfs mounted /usr/src, and /usr/obj on sigyn from loki. $ cd /usr/src $ sudo make installkernel KERNCONF=SIGYN It fails to mount from zfs:zroot upon reboot. Via great hoops and magic I got back into the fixit on remote console. I didn't see a loader.old or a zfsboot. So I repeated the steps in wiki to install zfsboot. Rebooted, same diff. Jumped backed to fixit and reverted the kernel to a stock GENERIC that worked the 1st time. Same error again. cd /boot $ mv kernel kernel.cust $ mv kernel.old kernel So assuming you are lucky enough to get a zfsroot system. Is there an actual upgrade path ? Am I missing something stupid ? Any help greatly appreciated. I have a few days to play with this machine before we forgoe zfsroot and drop back to geom gmirror.

Transparent proxy using IPFW
Dear All, Is it possible to do like my requirement below? 1. Setup portfwd in my server listen on port 555 and forward all connection through this port to another server with same port or different port 2. All client which connected through this port, then remote server which landed to the end can see the client's IP. example: Client IP: 202.15.15.16 FreeBSD IP: 202.16.17.18 listen on port 555 Remote Server IP: 202.89.89.90 Client IP connect to 202.16.17.18 on port 555, and then FreeBSD forward it to 202.89.89.90 with same port or different port.

Re: FreeBSD only on MacBook? Having problems...
w s wrote: (x posted to http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8827, my apologies, but no one seems interested there...) I am trying to follow the steps to install FreeBSD 8.0 on my MacBook. I don't want to dual boot or anything, so I am following along here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook...15739bad407a8a (Note that earlier I managed to stomp all over the slices trying to partition without reading the directions...) However, it doesn't match my experience exactly, and I don't really have the FreeBSD background to compensate (long time Linux user, and never very hardware focused at all), so here are some starting questions (Note I am in the Fixit shell from the livefs CD): 1. Is gpart the same as gpt? Almost, gpart is the successor of gpt. the wiki still needs a little updating, (seems to be part gpt and part gpart based) 2. How can I lose the GPT? When I run # gpart destory ad5 I get gpart: Device busy. I presume that it is because / is mounted to run the livefs CD. So ... Not quite, if you run gpart show you should get a list of stuff on ad5, so before you can destroy the GPT you have to delete the stuff using it,a quick example using an md device: (reminder just in case, this will remove ANY partitions on the disk, but you already know that :) [r...@ostracod /scratch]# gpart show md0 = 34 19933 md0 GPT (9.8M) 34 199331 freebsd-ufs (9.7M) [r...@ostracod /scratch]# gpart destroy md0 gpart: Device busy [r...@ostracod /scratch]# gpart delete -i 1 md0 md0p1 deleted [r...@ostracod /scratch]# gpart destroy md0 md0 destroyed 3. Umm, what do I do now If I run gpart show ad5 I get a bunch of stuff which I would have to type in manually -- let me know which pieces are important and I will do it. Hope that helps, gpart (and GPT) is great once you get used to it but its got a learning curve.

The only reason I'm not switching from Linux. :( About the only useful result of the Phoronix benchmark suite in general is that benchmarking is hard, and that though tedious, statistical analisys and multiple runs actually have a realistic purpose. I suspect their runs have a very large variance between tests and are only useful in order-of-magnitude sort of comparisons. Most of their CPU-bound benchmarks therefore show results with insignificant differences, and most of the others benchmark the compilers. On the other hand, disk IO benchmarks like http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=freebsd8_benchmarksnum=7 reflect the real state of the things, which can be easily demonstrated by a large number of other benchmarks (e.g. blogbench). AFAIK there is some speculation among developers about why is this so, but nothing definite yet. For what it's worth, ZFS effectively does a fair bit of its own IO scheduling, so persons interested in this particular aspect should also try the tests with ZFS. My own tests (with other benchmarks) show that ZFS helps significantly, though the cumulative result is still significantly worse than Linux's. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: 2 processes reproducible read same file with different speed
cronfy wrote: Hello. I've noticed a very weird behavior of 2 Apache processes that shold read the same file to process a request (they configured to read it on every request). One spends about 6ms to read the file, and second spends about 114ms (I used ktrace to find this out). Every time, on every request, the problem is reproducible. Apaches are the same, the only difference between them that they are working from different users to serve different sites. Same binary, same config. First Apache used to work in the same way some time ago - it spent ~120ms to read the file. But once it changed and now it is working fast. Restarts of Apache do not look to affect on anything. The file that Apache should read is 315k long. Apache reads it by small blocks of 4096 bytes each. May be FreeBSD has some memory about how process is working with files and after some time enables some optimization or caching? I just do not have any clue... :( Can anyone explain this please? In addition to the other reply you got, there could also be a problem of different link speeds. If one user is connected by a slower link any you are doing blocking send()-after-read() operation, this will account for requests being processed at different speeds. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

PL_sv_undef and PL_stack_max undefined - FreBSD 8.0, Perl 5.8.9 or 5.10, FreeRADIUS 2.1.6
We've had a setup for a while where we have a FreeBSD server running FreeRADIUS 2.1.6 and using the rlm_perl module to examine a database and do some fairly complex checking of the returned data before deciding whether to accept or reject the radius request. This works fine on FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 with Perl 5.8.9 and FreeRADIUS 2.1.6 (all compiled from source out of the same copy of the ports tree. Perl compiled without threading support as that causes issues with our database connections when under high load). We had need to reinstall one of the servers over the weekend (We went from i386 to amd64 a while back, and now we're periodically getting mysql [replicated across multiple servers, but with a ruby on rails app running on and talking to/updating the mysql master] hanging on what should be very simple requests and causing our Ruby on Rails apps to die. We're going back to i386 to see if that resolves the issue, as the rails code hasn't been changed so it shouldn't be that. As far as we can tell, it is actually mysql that is hanging, not a lost connection from rails or similar). Anyway, as FreeBSD 8.0 is now out we decided to go with that. But now I can't get radius to start with rlm_perl enabled. Our radius script uses (among other things) the 'Switch' perl module. On trying to run radius -X I get the following: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Filter/Util/Call/Call.so' for module Filter::Util::Call: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Filter/Util/Call/Call.so: Undefined symbol PL_stack_max at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/DynaLoader.pm line 226. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/Switch.pm line 11 and radius refuses to start. I've not got the perl Filter module installed, and installing it makes no difference. But this seems to be a minor symptom of a larger problem - The freeradius provided example script doesn't use Switch, but does use Data:Dumper. When I install a completely different server (a VM) with FreeBSD 8.0 and run up perl and FreeRADIUS using the example.pl rlm_perl script, I get much the same error, but for a slightly different variable: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so' for module Data::Dumper: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so: Undefined symbol PL_sv_undef at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/XSLoader.pm line 70. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/Data/Dumper.pm line 36 I've tried commenting and uncommenting various modules in the script I want to run. Time::HiRes also causes a moan about PL_sv_undef. File::Basename seems to work OK.

This works fine on FreeBSD 7.2 amd64 with Perl 5.8.9 and FreeRADIUS 2.1.6 (all compiled from source out of the same copy of the ports tree. Perl compiled without threading support as that causes issues with our database connections when under high load). We had need to reinstall one of the servers over the weekend (We went from i386 to amd64 a while back, and now we're periodically getting mysql [replicated across multiple servers, but with a ruby on rails app running on and talking to/updating the mysql master] hanging on what should be very simple requests and causing our Ruby on Rails apps to die. We're going back to i386 to see if that resolves the issue, as the rails code hasn't been changed so it shouldn't be that. As far as we can tell, it is actually mysql that is hanging, not a lost connection from rails or similar). Anyway, as FreeBSD 8.0 is now out we decided to go with that. But now I can't get radius to start with rlm_perl enabled. Our radius script uses (among other things) the 'Switch' perl module. On trying to run radius -X I get the following: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Filter/Util/Call/Call.so' for module Filter::Util::Call: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Filter/Util/Call/Call.so: Undefined symbol PL_stack_max at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/DynaLoader.pm line 226. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/Switch.pm line 11 and radius refuses to start. I've not got the perl Filter module installed, and installing it makes no difference. But this seems to be a minor symptom of a larger problem - The freeradius provided example script doesn't use Switch, but does use Data:Dumper. When I install a completely different server (a VM) with FreeBSD 8.0 and run up perl and FreeRADIUS using the example.pl rlm_perl script, I get much the same error, but for a slightly different variable: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so' for module Data::Dumper: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so: Undefined symbol PL_sv_undef at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/XSLoader.pm line 70. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/Data/Dumper.pm line 36 I've tried commenting and uncommenting various modules in the script I want to run.

It's not bevery time/b. If you fdatasync() or fsync() the file, once the system call returns you know it will be safely on disk. With the patches, the blocks will be forcibly allocated in the case where you are replacing an existing file, so if you crash, you'll either get the old version (if the commit didn't make it) or the new version (if the commit did make it).

CF Ethernet for FreeBSD?
Everyone: I'm working on an embedded system which will be using a small Intel Atom motherboard with a single Ethernet port. The problem is, some configurations of the system are going to need two Ethernet ports, and only available ports on the system are a few USB slots and a CF (CompactFlash) socket. FreeBSD has drivers for several types of USB-to-Ethernet converters, but USB is a pretty inefficient way of doing Ethernet. So, I'm interested in finding out if anyone knows of an Ethernet interface which will plug into the CF socket and has drivers for FreeBSD.

The machine had been off for over eight hours. I'm not sure. My laptop shows about 59C as soon as I can log in, in a room kept around 16C ambient. It rather quickly drops to 40C if I let it idle with powerd doing its thing. Thanks for the response. One question though, what OS are you running. The reason I ask is because I want to discover if it's FreeBSD specific or possibly affecting Linux distros as well. And if you're running FreeBSD, which version. I think CPU use/temp during boot-up _could_ vary a lot from one operating system to another, I don't know that it must, though, since the whole business is arcane and full of magic (much like poutine). FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #1: Mon Nov 23 13:47:06 EST 2009 amd64 It's a turion x2 of 1990MHz I only had windows on long enough to burn one CD back in February, so I have not the least clue how it behaved (besides terribly). I can't find any way to get the actual temperature values under Opensolaris, but I do dual boot. It spends so much time starting so many mind-bogglingly worthless services prior to giving me a log-in prompt that I'm not sure the comparison is fair. The fan usually kick into high prior to the log-in prompt, though. Opensolaris is pretty horrible in terms of performance and battery life compared to FreeBSD. It's also like a strange, alien wasteland what with bash gnome other linuxisms, except pfexec. pfexec rocks. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
tcp delays in jails
I recently started having a problem with tcp connections in one of my jails. Im running 4.9-stable both sendmail and perdition experience the same problem. I even tried stopping everything on the box and the problem still persists. Connections to other jails on different ip's on the same box are fine. There seems to be about a 5 second delay. From this snippet of a ktrace I did you can see what looks to be a delay of about 5 seconds after the CALL kevent 86872 perdition 1259617190.144575 GIO fd 6 wrote 43 bytes n\M^]\^A\0\0\^A\0\0\0\0\0\0\^B18\^B96\^B81\^C206\ain-addr\^Darpa\0\0\f\0\^A 86872 perdition 1259617190.144584 RET sendto 43/0x2b 86872 perdition 1259617190.144592 CALL gettimeofday(0xbfbfde9c,0) 86872 perdition 1259617190.144604 RET gettimeofday 0 86872 perdition 1259617190.144619 CALL kevent(0x4,0xbfbfdec0,0x1,0xbfbfdec0,0x1,0xbfbfdea4) 86872 perdition 1259617195.147032 RET kevent 0 86872 perdition 1259617195.147085 CALL close(0x6) 86872 perdition 1259617195.147120 RET close 0 86872 perdition 1259617195.147138 CALL socket(0x2,0x2,0) 86872 perdition 1259617195.147150 RET socket 6 86872 perdition 1259617195.147159 CALL sendto(0x6,0xbfbfe100,0x2b,0,0x28269b60,0x10) 86872 perdition 1259617195.147186 GIO fd 6 wrote 43 bytes Any ideas of what I can do to figure this out?

Re: CF Ethernet for FreeBSD?
Hi, So, I'm interested in finding out if anyone knows of an Ethernet interface which will plug into the CF socket and has drivers for FreeBSD. Please let me know; any help would be MUCH appreciated! Not to mentione FreeBSD drivers, but only finding an Ethernet interface that plugs into a CF sockets seems very chalenging: you don't really send/receive the same information to memory and to network interface; CF can address GB of data, while the network card has a few KB at best; etc. Good luck, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Also, there are some Ethernet interface chips that are designed to be memory-mapped. See, for example, the one by ASIX, which is often used in embedded systems because it can interface with pretty much any CPU. --Brett Glass ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Two issues, mysqladmin tries to connect to the mysql server -- i see in your message above it can't connect if it can't connect, how can it authorize? Read the post again. says access denied not connection refused. second, the undocumented mysql_install_db must be run to install the default database. But if you run this as root, you should change ownership of everything in /var/db/mysql to allow the mysql server access to the files. mysql_install_db is documented in the mysql manual. After re-reading the section about using mysql_install_db many times I finally saw my problem. mysql_install_db has to be run direct from the root command line. I was doing script capture.console.msg.rpt and them running another script which had the mysql_install_db command buried in it. The mysql manual says mysql_install_db will hose up the user account table locking out all access. I rm -rf /var/db/mysql to delete the hosed up mysql user db and then ran mysql_install_db from the root command line and the default root/nopassword worked again.

stable/8/UPDATING - no mention of 8.0 release
iH, Been updating my src via svn and following stable/8.

Firefox 3.5 and Epiphany crashing since the GNOME 2.28 update
Hi all, I'm on 8.0/amd64, and my GNOME 2.28 update went off with no problems, but now Firefox 3.5 and Epiphany 2.28 crash when visiting certain pages, such as the Welcome to firefox first-start page. Firefox leaves Segmentation fault (core dump) in the console when it crashes, and Epiphany is silent. I've removed the Totem 2.28 plugins (thinking them to be the cause), removed Moonlight, removed Java, removed nspluginwrapper Flash10, and finally removed /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins altogether. This seems very similar to the Firefox 3.5 HTML5 video crash FreeBSD 7 users experience until they kldload sem, but I'm on 8.0 and sem is loaded by default. I didn't see anything new in UPDATING, and I successfully played an Ogg Theora video from an HTML5 video test page located at http://www.double.co.nz/video_test/test1.html, so I don't think that's it. Is there anywhere else where browser plugins lurk, or is there anything else the two may have in common besides plugins? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Also, I just verified that saving a file, rebooting, editing it again (with ee(1)) and powering off the system does still result in a zero length file being on disk. Ok, good to know. I saw UFS corruption once with frequent restarts, but assumed that was because the delayed filesystem checking never had a chance to run.
