 I work with FreeBSD 9.1 RELEASE.
 I had configured VLANs on my server, but I can't find a way to configure VLAN 
 priority.
 How can I do it?

Looks like you can't w/ the default VLAN code:
BUGS
 No 802.1Q features except VLAN tagging are implemented.

You could probably implement it w/ ng_patch, but that would also mean
you'd lose the feature of the card adding the VLAN tag for you...

Re: [IMPORTANT] Adaptec no longer supporting iir(4) driver ...

2006-08-04 Thread John-Mark Gurney
User Freebsd wrote this message on Mon, Jul 31, 2006 at 22:44 -0300:
 For those that haven't been following the discussion on this, the iir(4) 
 driver in FreeBSD 6.x appears to have a deadlock issue under medium to 
 heavy load, where the 'blocked' state just continues to rise until file 
 accesses just no longer work ...
 
 So, if you are running a server that is using the iir(4) device driver and 
 are considering upgrading to FreeBSD 6.x and beyond, or are looking to 
 build a new machine using a device that relies on this driver, do so at 
 your own peril ...
 
 Please note that this deadlock issue exists on *both* the ICP Vortex 
 cards, *and* the Intel based RAID controllers ...

Have you tried the driver in -current and/or 6.1-R?  Specificly v1.14
and v1.13.2.1 of iir.c that limits the simq to 32 commands?  We are
running w/ this modifications w/o issues on 6.0-R w/ SRCU31A and SRCU42L
cards...  We have a few GDT cards also that I don't believe we are
having any issues with...

Infact, scottl tracked down that change after a bit of proding from me
on behalf of my employer nCircle...  (Though it helped that he was able
to reproduce it in his lab.)...

 FreeBSD.  Making big statements in public that they don't, or that it's
 not up to ones' standards or hopes, isn't terribly useful or productive.
 I'd hate for FreeBSD to turn into That Other BSD that publically abuses
 and harasses vendors for percieved sleights.  There are much more
 positive and product ways to fix problems and form good relationships,
 and those ways are actively being pursued by some people right now.

The problem is that these pursuits are not public knowlege, and very
often trying to get support through even better than normal channels
(i.e. using your system builder's extra clout) doesn't get you this
info...  The most they tell you is sorry, no support, and we are just
being nice to even tell you this since you're running something else...

I believe that honest information is better than hopes that turn up
fruitless...  I've had no end of issues w/ Intel trying to get them
to fix various issues w/ their cards (SRCU31A and SRCU42L), and they
won't even acknowledge that failing drives due to SELECTION_TIMEOUT,
ABORTED COMMAND, OVERLAPPED COMMANDS ATTEMPTED or DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT
is a major issue... Due to the fact that SRCU31A is so old, they
haven't qualified the newer 2.42 firmware w/ the card...  We are going
to look at it, since we haven't seen any failed hd's on the 2.42
firmware...

 And here again is my standard disclaimer:
 I highly recommend that anyone who takes their data integrity seriously
 should spend time qualifying any RAID solution that they are interested
 in before putting it into production.  What works for your workload
 might not work for someone else's workload, and vice-versa.

Agreed, luckily we found the hang issue w/ 5.x before we shipped, so
we were saved yet another disaster...

 Yes, they won't.
 
 
 Basically, should the iir(4) driver be considered EOE also?
 
 
 As far as Adaptec and ICP Vortex are concerned, yes. Since the
 driver is Open Source, there is no enforced EOE, just orphanage,
 if nobody is willing to work on it.

 I already have bash installed from ports. It is bash 2.05b.

But below you were running sh, and not bash...  if you do sh array.sh,
it will not reinterpet the #!/bin/bash line, and re-exec it with the
program in part because /bin/bash doesn't exist on the system, as bash
is installed in /usr/local/bin/bash...

Please try with:
bash array.sh
instead, and see if that works..

Re: Ugly Huge BSD Monster

2003-09-03 Thread John-Mark Gurney
Denis Troshin wrote this message on Mon, Sep 01, 2003 at 16:58 +0700:

Sorry for all the responses that don't directly answer your question,
but you did ask it in a rather tactless way by saying it's a mess w/o
understanding the reasoning behind it.

 Almost  every  package  I  install requires a few other packages. This
 'idea   of   using   dependent  packages'  turns  FreeBSD  (and  other
 unix-systems) to an ugly monster.

This is because the packages are ment to be a one size fits all system.
If you want to eliminate some of the dependancies, then you are free to
build the port yourself.  There is plenty of documentation in the handbook
about how the port system works.

 For  example, I don't need Perl or Python but a few packages I install
 require them.

This is for the people that do want the perl and/or python extensions
that the package provides.  The packages are targeted at the widest
audience.  If you don't need them, then build the port yourself.

 Does exist a programming under unix without these dependencies?
 
 P.S.  Under Windows it is possible to write not bad applications which
 depend  just  on  libraries (KERNEL32, USER32, GDI32).  And these libs
 exist on every base system!!!

Just like libc, libcrypto, libcurses, libssl, etc.  It's just that some
of the GNU libraries change too often, and are not used by the base
system.  As someone else pointed out, you have to have vbrunXXX.dll
installed and of the proper version.  Many windows installs tell you
how/where to download said app.

Though windows doesn't let you just run a single command like:
pkg_add -r python

and automaticly get the program installed.

The real problem is the ports software.  You need to complain to the
authors of the ports for writing the code in this manner.  We choose
to make the software easier to install so new people don't have to learn
as much about configuring and installing software.

If you don't like the ports system, we don't for you to use it.  You
can just go out and build and install all the software by hand.

 Is it possible in unix?
 
 Before I thought that unix programs very compact, but they are huge!

They are, it's just some aren't writen to be small.

I hope this help you understand.
