FreeBSD 8 / amd64 / Xorg / nvidia GeForce 5200
Hi, My workstation runs FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE amd64. I have Xorg 1.6.5 and an nVidia GeForce 5200 dual head video card. Currently the first head of the card is operating well using the "nv" driver. I tried to compile the nvidia-driver port, but it tells me that I need nvidia-driver-173 because the 5200 chipset isn't supported by the current driver. When I go to compile nvidia-driver-173 it tells me that it is not supported under the amd64 architecture. I can't switch to an i386 kernel because I need the amd64 architecture to take advantage of all my RAM and also because I am using ZFS on this workstation, which more or less requires the amd64 architecture. So, I have two questions: 1. Is there any way to get the nvidia-driver-173 port to work with my amd64 OS? 2. Is there any way to get the second head of the 5200 video card to work using the nv driver? I tried adding a second device section to xorg.conf but the system errors out telling me that it tried to use conflicting hardware. I've attached both my xorg.conf and my Xorg.0.log file to this message. Or am I stuck buying a newer card?

It seems the reboot of your Linksys switch helped some how. Before portupgrading randomly this or that application, you should try to understand what is going wrong. Upgrade of DNS should go easily, but when you start upgrading web or mail, you are talking about tens or hunderds of applications, you are very likely something goes wrong and you break a system that was working before. When you say you could not "get" to ethic, what do you mean? - Cannot ping? - Cannot ssh? - Cannot telnet port 22, 25, 80? - Cannot traceroute (if your station and the server are on different LAN)? - Cannot ping another machine on your LAN? - Are you sure it was not your desktop that was faulty? - Etc. You should make a diagnostic before trying to apply any solution. As the reboot of thw switch did it, to me it looks like a network issue: bad switch, bad cable, some highly infected machine on your LAN that is stressing the swtich, rather than a server/service issue.

Compiling kernel with gcc43
Hi; I followed the instructions from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html to see if I can achieve some performance gain (8-STABLE r205630 amd64) and also get a more modern instruction set for my Phenom II (amdfam10), so I've done the following config settings: make.conf .if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports/*) && exists(/usr/local/bin/gcc43) CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc43 CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++43 CPP=/usr/local/bin/cpp43 CFLAGS+=-mssse3 CPUTYPE=amdfam10 .endif libmap.conf libgcc_s.so.1 gcc43/libgcc_s.so.1 libgomp.so.1gcc43/libgomp.so.1 libobjc.so.3gcc43/libobjc.so.2 libssp.so.0 gcc43/libssp.so.0 libstdc++.so.6 gcc43/libstdc++.so.6 buildworld goes on normally it seems, but when I tried to build the kernel, the first stop came from the option used by the kernel build "-fformat- extensions", which is not accepted by gcc43, so I took it out of /usr/src/sys/conf/kern.mk, the ONLY place I found it. It seemed to solve the problem until gcc43 stopped because of the "-Werror" option, which is all over the place!. Funny that gcc42 (used by default) doesn't stop because of this option. Anyway,my question boils down to: Is there a way to build the kernel with gcc43, with minimal tweaking? Am i attempting something out of my league?

sysinstall: "You need to assign disk labels before you can proceed with the installation"
Hello, Having run into various problems trying to upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0, I'm instead trying to perform a clean install using sysintall. I've downloaded 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img, modifed it to use a serial console and flashed it to a USB drive. This boots quite happily, and presents me with the sysintall screen. I'm intending to install to a pair of drives, mirrored with gmirror and partitioned with GPT. I therefore immediately drop into the fixit shell, create the mirror, partition it, and mount the new partitions under /newroot/, /newroot/usr etc. I then exit back to sysinstall, select custom install, point install root to /newroot and choose distribution, media. On selecting commit, sysinstall immediately presents the message "You need to assign disk labels before you can proceed with the installation", and won't proceed. It seems this only happens when sysinstall is running in single user mode. I have manged to make some progress with tricking sysintall into getting past this message. If I run sysinstall within the fixit shell (rather than exiting), I get a new instance of sysinstall with a pid other than 1. Symlinking /usr/bin to /stand, seems to provide most of the binaries it needs, and it proceeeds part of the way through installing the system before getting stuck on the documentation. I avoided this problem when installing 7.2 by creating an mfsbsd image, booting that, and then running sysinstall from there, but I'd rather not have the hassle of doing this for every future release. Moreover, creating an mfsbsd image may not even be an option in the event of a diasaster. Is anyone aware of any way of installing using sysintall from the standard FreeBSD media, but without using sysintall to partition and label the target disks?

This means uart(4) is now the default serial port driver on those platforms as well. To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver uses different names for its device nodes. This means the onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to use the new device names. When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints at the loader prompt: set hint.uart.0.at="isa" set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" set hint.uart.0.irq="4" boot -s which is probably why noone else has suffered from this problem.

Hopefully the answer might be of use to others, as it doesn't seem too uncommon a situation. I'm using a serial console. By default, FreeBSD 7 had both uart and sio compiled into the kernel, but device.hints gave configuration info for sio only. FreeBSD 8 removed sio support completely, leaving uart only. As device.hints contains nothing about uart, there was no serial device available for the console. The system was infact starting to boot quite happily, albeit without any console output, but wasn't completeing due to geom_mirror not having been loaded. The solution was simply to change hint.sio.[01].* to hint.uart.[01].* in device.hints, and to change ttyd0 to ttyu0 in /etc/ttys.

tuning vfs.zfs.vdev.max_pending and solving the issue of ZFS writes choking read IO
Hello I am having a slight issue (and judging by Google results, similar issues have been seen by other FreeBSD and Solaris/OpenSolaris users) with writes choking the read IO. The issue I am having is described pretty well here: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=106453 It seems that under heavy write load, ZFS likes to aggregate a really huge amount of data before actually writing it to disks, resulting in sudden 10+ second stalls where it frantically tries to commit everything, completely choking read IO in the process and sometimes even the network (with a large enough write to a mirror pool using DD, I can cause my SSH sessions to drop dead, without actually running out of RAM. As soon as the data is committed, I can reconnect back). Beyond the issue of system interactivity (or rather, the near-disappearance thereof) during these enormous flushes, this kind of pattern seems really ineffective from the CPU utilization point of view. Instead of a relatively stable and consistent flow of reads and writes, allowing the CPU to be utilized as much as possible, when the system is committing the data the CPU basically stays IDLE for 10+ seconds (or as long as the flush takes) and the process of committing unwritten data to the pool seemingly completely trounces the priority of any read operations. Has anyone done any extensive testing of the effects of tuning vfs.zfs.vdev.max_pending on this issue? Is there some universally recommended value beyond the default 35? Anything else I should be looking at? - Sincerely, Dan Naumov ___ 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"

Firefox 3.6.X and Thunderbird 3.0.X crashing with Radeon graphics on FBSD 8.0-STABLE SMP/sm64 box
Since the introduction of Thunderbird 3.0 and Firefox 3.6 I see spontanous crashes/coredumps of both thunderbird and firefox. Interingly Firefox 3.5.X works well on he same platform. The platform is a FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE/amd64 (r205536: Tue Mar 23 22:19:04 CET 2010), SMP box with 8GB of RAM, QuadCore Intel Q6600 on a P35-based motherboard. Thunderbird 3 crashes rarely compared to Firefox 3. The longer the application thunderbird runs, the higher the likelyhood the app crashes and vanishes. Sometimes this happens immediately after starting thunderbird, sometimes it takes its few minutes or half an hour. Firefox 3 is sensitive to its pull-down menus or requester showing up in some situations. I can provoke a crash by clicking onto a pull-down-menu in firefox 3, it immediately dumps a core. Well, I wouldn't write s cross-posting if I would be sure this behaviour is due to some oddities in my installation, but since this odd behaviour occured both on Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3 in several situations and with several tries to get a workaround, I feel desperately lost. What I did so far: - Recompiling EVERY port on my box (four times in a row to make sure everything is right, its a pain with nearly 950 ports). - Deinstalling both Firefox 3 and Thunderbird 3 and installing the binary packages from FreeBSD.ORG I have a private UP box, running the same OS FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE/amd64 on a single core Athlon 3500+ with only 2GB of RAM. There I use both Thunderbird 3.0.3 and Firefox 3.6.2 without any problem. I suspect the X11 server or some part of the accelerator stuff triggering the crashes. On the both machines, WITHOUT_NOUVEAU = YES is defined. On the UP box at home, I utilise a HD4830 graphics accelerator with DR enabled. The lab's box have had both HD4670 and now HD4770 accelerators, both do not work properly with the state-of-the-art drivers supported by the official pots collection. HD4670 never got to work since the new RadeonHD driver 1.3 was introduced (prior to that it worked), the new HD4770 works with explicitely disabling DRI and crashes whenever I leave a session (quit windowmaker). Well, this is another story, but I suspect the Radeon driver infrastructure causing the problems - but I'm not sure. I use perl-threaded 5.10, but I guess this is not a problem since the problems occur whether I have threaded perl or not. As I said, I feel like a dead man in the water ...

I'm hoping at least 5Tb would be usable? That depends on how you configure your zpool. The choices are: disk -- just uses the disk directly as a vdev. Means you can use 100% of the space, but you have absolutely no resilience mirror -- for which you'ld need an even number of disks and you get 50% of the raw as usable space. Can survive at least one disk failure, and possibly up to as many as half of the disks failing. raidz -- single parity (equivalent to RAID5). For N disks, 1 disk worth is used for parity data, leaving N - 1 disks' worth as the actual capacity. So you'ld get 66% of raw in your case. Can survive failure of any one disk. raidz2 -- double parity (equivalent to RAID6). For N disks, 2 disks worth are used for parity data, leaving N - 2 disks worth as actual capacity. Or 33% of raw in your case. Can survive failure of any two disks. Note that 3 drives is the minimum for either of the raidz types, and won't give you the best performance. See zpool(1M) for details.
