Linux (haven't tried something like Open Solaris) I have a new PE2950's at the office, FreeBSD sees everything, including the PERC6i controller, but the motherboard NICs are suffering horribly bad for performance. Ping flood from the console to it's own IP address bound to the NIC looses 30% of it's packets. Also, what's NIC2 on the motherboard/case labeling, is the first NIC FreeBSD finds. NIC1 is the 2nd nic FreeBSD finds. Just oddities. Thanks, Tim. The R805 RAID is actually an LSI controller, supported by the mpt driver. The 7.1 version has some updates that make it work on this box. We're just down the road from Dell, so it's hard to avoid them :-) Agreed on the bce NIC. That NIC seems to be complete junk. It gives me fits no matter what OS drives it. In any case, for the archives, if you have an October 2008 or later production PE R805, you need to use FreeBSD 7.1 for an out of the box installation. --Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Installation on a Dell Poweredge R805
I'm having an issue installing FreeBSD 7 AMD64 on a Dell Poweredge R805. The system starts to boot, throws several mpt_cam_event 0x12 and 0x16 errors, presents the boot menu, and then crashes with a Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode and then wants to reboot. This is a dual CPU, quad core Opteron 2352 system with 8GB RAM and dual SAS on a PERC6 controller. I've tried various memory and BIOS settings to see if I can get it to boot, but it either does the bits describe above, or hangs hard. Any and all suggestions appreciated. --Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Update on data corruption with Tyan/3Ware
Following up so that the archives will have the resolution: Bad RAM. Turns out that there were about 20 bytes in the third GB of the four in the system that would spit out garbage data when read back. Thanks to everyone on the list and 3Ware support for their suggestions. --Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Update on data corruption with Tyan/3Ware
Here's an update on my odd problem. Thanks to Don B for some hints that helped us start looking in a better directions. System is a Tyan Thunder K8SE motherboard with dual Opteron 250 2.4GHz CPUs and a 3Ware 9550SX-4LP PCI Express four port RAID controller running in RAID 5. Disks are 4x Seagate 500GB SATA. 4GB Memory. Latest BIOS and firmware on mobo and RAID controller. FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 with all patches as of 9-21-2007 We've narrowed the problem down to files that are 4GB. Anytime we have a file that's 4GB, we get inconsistent checksums, can't uncompress it, etc. Files 4GB are fine. So is this a RAID controller issue? A filesystem problem? All hints appreciated. --Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Data corruption with Tyan Thunder amd64 and 3ware 9550
Hello, I'm hoping that someone has a good answer for the strange behavior I'm seeing. I have a problem with a Tyan Thunder K8SE motherboard with dual Opteron 250 2.4GHz CPUs and a 3Ware 9550 PCI Express four port RAID controller running in RAID 5. 4GB Memory. Running 6.2, with source downloaded yesterday morning and a complete buildworld/buildkernel When we rsync a file to the system and then checksum it, we get really bogus results like these: files# md5 junk MD5 (junk) = 30d02079596353437f372a99697fb1bc files# md5 junk MD5 (junk) = d05e159aecf780678b0f8ef785252498 files# md5 junk MD5 (junk) = 25c1ec066f4ed37cd9268bdafa0a0639 files# md5 junk MD5 (junk) = 477a6bb6fc9ccba12bf4e167b39679f8 Yes, that's the same file each time. We've tried various ACPI settings in the BIOS, moving the memory around, running single CPU, changing the APIC BIOS setting to PIC (system boots faster then, but only runs one CPU), but we're still getting corrupted data reads. Any pointers welcomed. --Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sendmail 8.13.3 and FreeBSD 4.11 local mail problem
I'm having an odd problem on a server running Sendmail 8.13.3 under 4.11. I've set up sendmail with a set of DNSBLs, local host names, access table for relaying from a static IP, virtusertable, and authenticated relaying. I am able to send and receive email normally through the system--it correctly handles everything thrown at it, except for emails that are generated on the local system. So things like the periodic reports get dumped with error messages in the mail log like this: Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MF049806: from=user, size=214, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug 2 11:31:05 www sm-mta[49807]: STARTTLS=server, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, cipher=DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: STARTTLS=client, relay=[127.0.0.1], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA, bits=256/256 Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MF049806: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=user (1001/1001), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30214, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MF049806: j72GV5MG049806: DSN: Data format error Aug 2 11:31:05 www sm-mta[49807]: j72GV5GO049807: [EMAIL PROTECTED]... user on this server Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MG049806: to=user, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=31238, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=5.3.0, stat=User unknown Aug 2 11:31:05 www sm-mta[49807]: j72GV5GO049807: from=, size=1238, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MG049806: j72GV5MH049806: return to sender: User unknown Aug 2 11:31:05 www sm-mta[49807]: j72GV5GQ049807: [EMAIL PROTECTED]... user on this server Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MH049806: to=postmaster, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=32262, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=5.3.0, stat=User unknown Aug 2 11:31:05 www sm-mta[49807]: j72GV5GQ049807: from=, size=2262, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MG049806: Losing ./qfj72GV5MG049806: savemail panic Aug 2 11:31:05 www sendmail[49806]: j72GV5MG049806: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere Various web sites on Google suggest doing date | sendmail -v -Am postmaster which works.

Sendmail 8.13.1 oddities
Here's one for the sendmail gurus: I have a FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #0 box with sendmail 8.13.1 built from source. I've hacked on the host.mc file a bit, adding delay_checks, a few DNSBLs, and a config for authenticated relaying. I also have a largish access database, a few domains in local-host-names, and a virtusertable. Everything works for authenticated relaying and local delivery, but email that is generated on the local system (daily reports, for example) destined for local or SMTP delivery gets bit-bucketed with Data format error and Losing qfilename savemail panic in the maillog. But, if I add the user that's generating the mail to the virtusertable, everything works fine. I've never had to do this on a box running 8.12 or earlier. Any hints? Thanks! --Chris ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
PHP4 port broken?
So what's going on with the php4 port? It used to present a menu of choices for the compilation options, but does not anymore on the 4.3.8_2 version I have now. I'm trying to get curl and gettext support compiled in, but having no luck, even if I try hacking the makefile CONFIGURE_ARGS= section to include --with-gettexti and --with-curl and removing the --disable-all. I'm still not getting the php_gettext.so that I used to have. FreeBSD 4.10, Apache2.

On Aug 9, 2004, at 5:00 PM, Bill Moran wrote: The PHP port has been divvied up into a number of ports, so other ports can specify only what parts of PHP they need. For example, after you install php4, you can then install lang/php4-gettext to add gettext support to it. OK, thanks to Bill, Paul, and Dan. Looks like everything is going along well. Would have been nice if they had modified the old makefile to put up a note that said something like We're moving stuff around.

interface aliases with the fxp driver
While setting up a server with several IP addresses on the same interface, we noticed something a bit odd. When we add the new IP address with the command ifconfig fxp0 alias 192.168.12.100 netmask 255.255.255.255 We can ping the address and all seems well at first. Then apparently the other machines' ARP caches time out, and the 192.168.12.100 IP address is no longer reachable on the LAN. tcpdump confirms that the server is not responding to ARP requests. Adding the arp keyword to the ifconfig command seems to fix things. ifconfig fxp0 alias arp 192.168.12.100 netmask 255.255.255.255 Works as we'd expect. This was observed on 4.9-RELEASE and 4.10-STABLE I've not tried it on boxes with other kinds of Ethernet cards yet. Is this normal, or a bug in the fxp driver?
