Troubleshooting a 3Ware 9550SX under 6.3
I've recently noticed slow performance on a machine that runs amanda and stores backups for our network on a RAID-5. It was running 6.2. I upgraded to 6.3 just today, so it is completely up to date on the 6 branch. Here's hopefully most of the relevant info: 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #0: Mon Jun 9 12:57:40 MDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 da0 at twa0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: AMCC 9550SX-12 DISK 3.04 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 100.000MB/s transfers da0: 2145735MB (4394465280 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 273542C) hw.twa0.driver_version: 3.60.04.003 Unit UnitType Status %Cmpl Stripe Size(GB) Cache AVerify IgnECC -- u0RAID-5OK - 64K 2095.44 OFFOFF OFF Port Status Unit SizeBlocksSerial --- p0 OK u0 698.63 GB 14651491683QD0TAVV p1 NOT-PRESENT - - - - p2 NOT-PRESENT - - - - p3 NOT-PRESENT - - - - p4 OK u0 698.63 GB 14651491683QD0SYE3 p5 NOT-PRESENT - - - - p6 NOT-PRESENT - - - - p7 NOT-PRESENT - - - - p8 OK u0 698.63 GB 14651491683QD0SE36 p9 OK u0 698.63 GB 14651491683QD0THRB p10NOT-PRESENT - - - - p11NOT-PRESENT - - - - Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a4058062 96518 3636900 3%/ devfs1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/da0s2d 1914817666 1647878588 11375366694%/backup /dev/da0s1d4058062 3344 3730074 0%/tmp /dev/da0s1f 1716265387978766 149917650 5%/usr /dev/da0s1e 25385516 124322 23230354 1%/var I'm getting performance like this (no other processes were running at this time): dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile 165760+0 records in 165759+0 records out 84868608 bytes transferred in 25.028232 secs (3390915 bytes/sec) I think I ought to be able to get more than 3.2MB/sec out of this card, right? The machine is about a year old and I am pretty sure it wasn't anywhere near this slow at the beginning, though I don't have any numbers from that time to back up that opinion. What else can I try to get more info or resolve the issue? I've looked online for others complaining of slowness and most of the chatter about twa on freebsd seems to be about the driver having been missing from certain install discs back in the day. No one else seems to be having speed issues.

Re: Troubleshooting a 3Ware 9550SX under 6.3
Caching is off; that will kill performance especially for small transactions. If you've got battery backup for this system, consider enabling the onboard cache...? Chuck, that made an immediate and huge difference: # tw_cli set cache c0 u0 on # dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile 5649235+0 records in 5649234+0 records out 2892407808 bytes transferred in 40.800142 secs (70892102 bytes/sec) I had no idea having the cache on would be such a night and day difference. I'm off to order the battery backup card.

[OT] DNS Administration
Is anybody using web based DNS zone administration for their users? I've found several projects out there, but they either seem to be early betas, or only in french, or much too complex/flexible for the average virtual hosting type customer to understand. Before I roll my own I figured it would be worthwhile to ask. Requirements: Open-source, free Simple for non-technical folks to use Works with Bind Multi-user authenticated (user A can add zones and only edit his zones) Desirable: PHP or Perl-based Thanks, Adam Adam Bayless| vi /etc/mail/aliases Fibernet System Janitor | complaints: /dev/null [EMAIL PROTECTED] | :wq baylessfamily.org/~abayless | newaliases ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: IPsec with racoon
Rick, Thanks for the suggestion, but it is a publicly routable address. It actually appears to be getting all of phase 1 complete and most of phase 2 but just never passes any traffic across the VPN tunnel itself, so I am past the basic connectivity issues.

I resorted to getting an Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem and plugging it into a FreeBSD box for my Qwest MSN and set my VPN to go between the 2 FreeBSD boxes. This gave my firewall/gateway a real IP address. Granted, it is dynamic and I have to change my vpn every time my IP address get's re-negotiated, but at least it works.

Re: IPsec with racoon
Well, I am the ISP, so I can be sure there are no ports blocked... thanks, Adam At 09:27 AM 10/8/2003, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You don't have any firewall rules blocking it somewhere in the middle between the two endpoints, do you? Some ISP's will block all traffic except for certain types, but they don't tell you about it. We have a wireless internet provider in town that blocks ports to keep people from using certain types of internet services to save bandwidth. They are an http/email only provider in this sense. VPN will not work across this ISP, regardless of the fact that you have a real IP address with them. I disagree with ISP's doing this if people are paying full price for internet service. However, they charge a very low rate, so people get what they pay for in the end.

Kris, Thanks for the speedy reply. I wondered about hardware issues too, but on two different machines with vastly different hardware and no other indications of problems?
