Re: Debian/kFreeBSD vs linux jail?

 Considering Debian's ported the standard Linux userland to the
 FreeBSD kernel, I'm wondering if it's possible/practical to use Debian
 inside of a jail instead of a Linux CentOS jail, which has been
 documented.  I know some applications are linux specific, but are they
 really linux specific or gnu specific?  I'm going to retry getting a
 printer driver working with cups that had issues with FreeBSD in the
 past, but I don't know if it's FreeBSD userland or FreeBSD kernel that
 caused the quirks. Has anyone tried using Debian's kFreeBSD userland
 inside a jail?  Is it just pointless on a FreeBSD system?

If it is a free software CUPS driver, chances are it is a GNU thing and
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD might work for you. For all the proprietary stuff
(say flash, acrobat, ..) Debian GNU/kFreeBSD usually is worse of than
either GNU/Linux or pure FreeBSD systems (because no comercial vendor
ever builds for this platform).

Slowdown of iwn wireless

2013-01-18 Thread Christoph Egger
Hi!

On my home network I noticed that wireless transfer slows down a lot
over time. It starts at reasonable internet speed of 300kB/s or
something but after 2h of using the network it barely gets more than
20kB/s across. Rebooting helps, as does kicking the kernel
module/interface and recreating (though that tends to crash from time to
time)

It's a

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor 
Peak] (rev 34)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at f240 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [e0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00

I'm running a freebsd -CURRENT kernel (revision 242489) (actually the
Debian kFreeBSD one but with firmware enabled)

iwn6000fw.ko is loaded and iwn built into the kernel

Regards

Christoph

NFS locking and linux NFS server

2012-03-25 Thread Christoph Egger
Hi all!

  I have a Linux Host (2.6.32 kernel, Debian stable) providong NFS
shares. Locking files on that share works fine for linux clients [0]
while it fails on a freebsd 9.0-STABLE system. The interwebs indicate
there have been problems witha buggy linux implementation back in 2006
but no more hits for that problem in recent times so I assume it's
fixed?

root@freebsd /mnt/
11:27 0 # kldstat -v | grep nfs
341 nfscommon
386 nfslockd
344 nfsd
385 nfssvc
342 nfs
343 nfscl
384 nfslock



  
root@freebsd /mnt/
11:28 0 # flock test -c ls
flock: test: Operation not supported

root@freebsd /mnt/
11:31 0 # mount | grep nfs
10.70.255.8:/home/ on /mnt/ (nfs)

 This may or may not be helpful, but I can't think of anything else at
 this time: what version NFS on both sides?

NFSv3 on both sides

 Are you running statd and lockd (in rc.conf, rpc_statd_enable=YES and

it was missing

nfs_client_enable=YES

Thanks everyone for the answers!

2 distinct DSL lines with same endpoint (8-STABLE)

2012-01-09 Thread Christoph Egger
Hi all!

  I'm having a FreeBSD 8 gateway that is supposed to do NAT/firewall
stuff with internet coming through 2 distinct DSL modems from the same
carrier. Unfortunately I can only run ppp on one of these lines as the
endpoint address for both lines are the same so bringing up the second
line fails in

| PPp ON elephant Warning: tun1: AIFADDR X.X.X.X - Y.Y.Y.Y returns -1
| Warning: iface add: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR, X.X.X.X - Y.Y.Y.Y): File exists
| Error: ipcp_InterfaceUp: unable to set ip address

Where Y.Y.Y.Y is already also used for the other ppp connection.

  This seems to be a known Problem with FreeBSD ppp (google turns up
some results) but I haven't found any usefull workarounds. Can anyone
suggest some way to get this kind of setup working?

Regards

Christoph
