Re: ld-elf related problems
Thanks all; This is a fresh install and all ports are up to date. I don't have the time to debug and fiddle with all the applications that are crashing, so i'll just do a clean reinstall of the OS, and hope that it won't happen again (won't be installing numpy). As a sidenote, i installed numpy on another box which had gcc44 already installed, along with the /etc/make.conf and libmap.conf settings specified in the handbook (which i also added to this system, to no avail), and there are no crashes there. Slightly off-topic, as stated above, this second box is set up to use gcc44 for ports, and i'm seeing quite a noticeable performance improvement with PostgreSQL, compared to when it's compiled with base gcc. This kind of sucks, because i have more work to do in order to get more performance, extra work and complications that add up when doing multiple installations. It certainly adds to the frustration knowing that there are no real technical reasons for this... ___ 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

quick vfs tuning
Hi, I'm running a RAID1 setup with gmirror and geli (AES-128) on top of that. While searching for ways to improve read performance, i found some posts (on kerneltrap i think) about vfs.max_read. The author suggested that increasing the default value of 8 to 16 resulted in increased read speed, and that increasing it further resulted in no noticeable performance gain. Results are below. Starting with vfs.read_max=32: triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 176.825898 secs (20100492 bytes/sec) triton# sysctl vfs.read_max=64 vfs.read_max: 32 - 64 triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 162.943189 secs (21813048 bytes/sec) triton# sysctl vfs.read_max=128 vfs.read_max: 64 - 128 triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 149.313994 secs (23804116 bytes/sec) triton# sysctl vfs.read_max=256 vfs.read_max: 128 - 256 triton# dd if=a.iso of=/dev/null bs=3M 1129+1 records in 1129+1 records out 3554287616 bytes transferred in 150.466241 secs (23621828 bytes/sec) Here is seems to have hit a wall. Going a bit down to 192 results in almost exactly the same numbers, so the best value seems to be 128. As i read, vfs.read_max means 'cluster read-ahead max block count'. Does it read ahead the stuff into some memory? If so, can that memory size be increased via sysctl? Does the improvement in performance have to do with my particular setup (gmirror+geli)? I thought i'd share the results and maybe get a discussion going in this direction. Test was done on a pair of SATA300 HDs spinning at 7200rmp (which are seen as SATA150 by the OS for some reason; i couldn't fix it from the BIOS, so it must be the mobo), and 7.1-RELEASE, i386. -- Regards, Ghirai. ___ 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

speed in extracting rar files - unrar vs. 7z
Hey, Does anyone know a faster way of extracting big rar files, or why is it so slow? I did a quick test with time (extracting the same ~800MiB file, consisting of split archives): unrar: real4m29.637s user0m4.969s sys 0m3.131s 7z: real3m50.020s user0m4.784s sys 0m1.821s While not a very good test, as i was having other apps idling around at the time, i did notice that neither of them were fully utilizing the CPU (Core2Duo E6550, clocked at 2.9GHz). Usage was ~8% at most. As you can see, 7z is marginally faster. The shareware WinRAR on windows seems to be better implemented (?), as it uses both cores to the fullest, and as such the time needed to extract stuff is a lot shorter. If this an implementation problem in unrar/7z, or is it the scheduler's 'fault' so to speak? Or does it have something to do with disk IO? If so, how do i check, and how can it be improved? Looking at top again, while extracting, showed both apps' state to be getblk most of the time, if it matters. I'm running 7.1-RELEASE, i386, generic kernel.

I'm using xfce, and the wlan plugin thingie can only show the signal strength, assuming i'm already connected.

Re: Dealing with portscans
On Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:17:02 -0700 David Allen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Over the last few weeks I've been getting numerous ports scans, each from unique hosts. The situation is more of an annoyance than anything else, but I would prefer not seeing or having to deal with an extra 20-30K entries in my logs as was the case recently. I use pf for firewalling, and while it does offer different methods (max-src-conn, max-src-conn-rate, etc.) for dealing with abusive hosts, it doesn't seem to offer much in the way of dealing with repeated blocked (non-stateful) connection attempts from a given host. Short of running something like snort, is there a suitable tool for dealing with this? If not, I'll probably resort to running a cronjob to parse the logfile and add the offending hosts manually. Add the abusive hosts to a table x, via max-src-conn, max-src-conn-rate, etc., then add near the top of your ruleset: block drop quick from x Hope it helps.

Xorg crashing randomly
Hello list, Lately Xorg (log file says X.Org X Server 1.4.0') seems to crap out randomly, sometimes after a few hours, sometimes after a few days. I'm running 7.0-RELEASE, custom kernel (ULE scheduler and unneeded drivers removed, everything else is default), and nvidia driver (latest). There's nothing in messages, nor in the xorg log file, except: --- Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting --- I don't know what other info i should give, there isn't much (if anything) in the log files. I might add that i've tested the RAM, plus the rest of the system is ok. Any ideas are appreciated.

Re: [FreeBSD] 6.3-R diskhandling
On Sat, 26 Jan 2008 13:55:26 + Alphons \Fonz\ van Werven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a recent model Toshiba laptop here, dual-booting Windows Vista and Slackware Linux (not my call, so no flames please). When I got the go-ahead to replace Linux with FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, the following happened: The partitioner complained that the found geometry 232581/16/63 is invalid and it's using a more likely geometry instead. Closer inspection reveals that this more likely geom (14593/255/63) is actually the real geometry, so question 1 is: where did FreeBSD get this other weird-ass geometry from? When installing the boot manager, it hosed Windows' bootability. I could mount and access the Windows partition from within FreeBSD just fine so the partition itself seemed to be okay, but it just wouldn't boot. When I selected it in the bootmanager menu, it showed a screen saying Windows can't boot and I should use the recovery disk to repair Windows. Since everything on the machine that was even remotely important had just been backed up and Windows was due for a reinstall anyway, I just reinstalled it and no harm was done, but I still wonder what happened. How come FreeBSD's boot manager stopped Windows from booting? The reinstall of Windows wiped away everything else, so I can retry installing FreeBSD. But given the troubles described above, what's the best way to do it? Currently, I'm considering the following: 1. Boot this Live Linux CD I have lying around here and which finds the correct geometry for the disk right away. 2. Make a backup of the MBR. 3. Create a partition (slice) for FreeBSD. 4. Boot the FreeBSD install disk and run through sysinstall (partitioning the slice Linux just created) but don't let it install a boot loader. 5. Boot the Live Linux again and install LILO from there. But if you have any other suggestions I'm all ears of course. Oh, and a final question: the Windows installer creates a partition table in which partitions (slices) don't end on cylinder/track boundaries. Is this a big deal? Linux notices it but doesn't seem bothered much by it and FreeBSD appears to act likewise. But I thought I'd better ask, just to be sure.

Can't mount NTFS
Hello list, I'm running 6.2-RELEASE-p9, 32bit, and dual-boot XP for quite some time. Yesterday mounting my NTFS partition wouldn't work. I have 2 partitions on xp, C and D, which are ad12s1 and ad12s2. I can mount ad12s1 fine, but the other one doesn't work (it was fine couple days ago): deimos# mount_ntfs /dev/ad12s2 /mnt/win mount_ntfs: /dev/ad12s2: Invalid argument Searching around led me to this site: http://www.daemon-systems.org/man/mount_ntfs.8.html Where they say: If the attempt to mount NTFS gives you an error like this: # mount -t ntfs /dev/wd0k /mnt mount_ntfs: /dev/wd0k on /mnt: Invalid argument make sure that appropriate partition has correct entry in the disk label, particularly that the partition offset is correct. If the NTFS partition is the first partition on the disk, the offset should be '63' on i386 (see disklabel(8)). mbrlabel(8) could help you to set up the disk label correctly. That doesn't help me much though. fdisk says it does indeed start at offset 63. Any ideas?

That seems to suggest that it isn't hardware, but doesn't completely eliminate the possibility. Often, vendors write drivers to work around known deficiencies in their hardware. Since FreeBSD's drivers are written to the specs, they may expose these deficiencies while the vendor's drivers intentionally avoid them. Additionally, FreeBSD seems to work hardware in different ways than Windows, thus tickling corner cases with hardware that's just barely failing. Run some hardware tests to be sure. Also, the driver issue that was raised is a good point. I've seen a number of buggy NICs where the vendor's driver worked around the bugginess so it _looked_ like FreeBSD was at fault. Make sure all your hardware is known to work on FreeBSD. All right, i'll do some tests with the NIC, change it, etc. I'll post back results.

Re: how to find current cpu speed utilization
Hello Steve, Thursday, June 28, 2007, 11:17:45 PM, you wrote: I've been playing with powerd, and my system seems mighty sluggish. I can't find anything in the manpages about how to get current metrics on the cpu. powerd is just a daemon, acpi and cpufreq are drivers, acpiconf just puts it to sleep, what am I missing? Steve Check man cpufreq, i had the same problem because powerd lowered the freq. to 100MHz and KDE moved sluggish. I set the minimum to 500MHz, which seems to work just fine. You would use sysctl to see the current freq, and you set the minimum freq. in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Reading disclaimers makes you go blind. Writing them is worse. You have
been Warned.
If it's a clean install of X11 / complete system, you can get away
with doing the standard make install in the ports directories you want.
The only thing that you need to do is export / setenv XORG_UPGRADE=yes
like UPDATING states.
For upgrades, yeah stick with a supported tool (currently only
portupgrade-devel and portmaster I believe).
-Garrett
As a side note, i used portupgrade, not portupgrade-devel.
I got a few ports reported as failed, but it turned out they were ok.
They only thing i needed to do was to change the path of the modules
in xorg.conf, to reflect the new location.

For what it's worth, I think Java should be far more present in the FreeBSD at least as far as desktop is concerned and it's a good alternative to Qt/Tk/Gtk for GUI applications.

Re[2]: notebook cpu throttling [solved]
[..] I did that, but now xorg constantly uses 20-30% CPU. CPUs were running cooler indeed, but everything ran jerky, because of the xorg cpu usage. [..] Point being, if powerd has selected your lowest cpu frequency because load is less than default (or as specified by -i and -r switches) and this is (say) 1/4 of full speed, then something that normally showed 5% cpu will now show as using 20% (of available cpu cycles at that speed) You can tune your powerd idle levels more towards performance, and/or you can set a higher minimum cpu freq with sysctl debug.cpufreq.lowest from among your available levels. [..] I suspected this; xorg just reporting to use 20-30% cpu doesn't bother my, what bothers me is the fact that mouse cursor and everything moves jerky. I'll try to raise the min. freq., maybe powerd lowers it too much.. Maybe. In one recent example, a 1400MHz box (Thinkpad T42p) had freqs all the way down to 75MHz while still running with 1mS slicing (1000HZ) apparently losing i8254 timer interrupts (when using APM, not with ACPI) powerd(8) in adaptive mode with default settings will lower cpu freq one level whenever the load idle is 90% or more, and raise freq (two levels) whenever idle gets less than 65%. Looks like if you set that to say 75% your xorg alone would kick it up. Of course you must be careful not to set the shiftpoints too close together, or you'll observe oscillation .. again, running 'powerd -v' is useful while you're playing with tuning. Re jerkiness, you might also benefit by decreasing the polling interval (how often powerd checks load average) from 500mS to perhaps half that? I'm kinda interested in these fujitsu-siemens laptops myself, so I'm still keen to see your 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels' please? Cheers, Ian Ok, i think i got it working. dev.cpu.0.freq_levels showed about 14 possibilities. It turned out that powerd was lowering it down to 100MHz, or 50MHz per core. Playing with debug.cpufreq.lowest, i increased it gradually until KDE/Xorg behaved normal; for my system it was 800MHz, which is 400MHz/core. -- Best regards, Ghirai. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can watch it shift under various loads by running 'powerd -v' in foreground, show it by running a script sleeping for eg a minute, or use (say) gkrellm with gkfreq plugin to display cpu speed constantly.
