CLI tool for motherboard/CPU temp monitoring.
Does anyone know if there are any tools in ports that allows me to monitor the CPU and motherboard temperatures? I am running 4.10 and 5.2.1 with assorted Intel and AMD x86 based mobos. Thanks in advance. -Kenji + kenji morishige [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kenjim.com + ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: CLI tool for motherboard/CPU temp monitoring.
Thanks a lot guys. I'm gonna try these out. I have 7 boxes in my house without A/C hosting various sites... the room is approaching 90+ degree with fans blowing full bore... and my house is 100 degree... Silicon Valley weather is super hot this year! -Kenji On Wed, Sep 08, 2004 at 02:48:18PM -0600, Sheets, Jason (OZ CEEDR) wrote: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stijn Hoop Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 2:40 PM To: Kenji M Cc: FreeBSD - Questions Subject: Re: CLI tool for motherboard/CPU temp monitoring.

For some mobo's, /usr/ports/sysutils/xmbmon will work; you can instruct it to run without X and install only the CLI binary 'mbmon' by installing WITHOUT_X11=yes. Also look at /usr/ports/sysutils/healthd HTH, --Stijn -- Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

ideal ipfw traffic shaping rules for small DSL net
Hello network gurus, I'm looking for a good baseline ipfw shaping policy configuration for people who are using small upstream DSL bandwidth. I have 3Mbit downstream and 768K upstream and I use a ipf for natting and ipfw with dummynet to do traffic shaping. Considering a 750KB upstream pipe, what size queues would be the most beneficial to balance http, ssh, and other chat protocols sitting behind the natted firewall? I'm looking for some sample configurations to study. Any pointers appreciated! -Kenji -- + kenji morishige [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kenjim.com + ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Running FreeBSD/PostgreSQL on high-end dual Xeon box
Thanks guys! After doing some additional reading and your comments I think staying with FreeBSD coupled with a good RAID controller would probably be the least hassle, reliable, and good performing setup. I am looking at a dual Xeon box using an Adpatec 2200S RAID controller with the write buffer backup battery module. We will also probably install 4GB of ram. Now the new question is which RAID level would provide the best balance of performance and reliability... I currently have a similar setup that has RAID 0+1 with one hot spare ready in case of mirror disk failure. I had been considering the same setup, but it might make sense just to use 3 disk RAID5 with hot spare ready. The new RAID controller implementation might not buy us much by using 0+1 vs. 5. Any thoughts? -Kenji On Thu, Jun 03, 2004 at 06:40:07PM -0400, Charles Swiger wrote: On Jun 3, 2004, at 5:42 PM, Kenji M wrote: I am currently specing a 2U dual Xeon server and hope to use RAID 0+1 capability. The question is for PostgreSQL admins... 1) Which RAID controller should we use? You haven't mentioned whether you plan to use SCSI or IDE drives. The PERC RAID controller in Dell's PowerEdge's works quite well for the former, but you might consider the 3ware twe if you're doing IDE. 2) Considering Q1, does it not even make sense to use FreeBSD+PostgreSQL and bite the bullet and go with Linux (assuming it has better hw RAID support) and run PostgreSQL on that using a fancier journaling filesystem. Hmm. What makes you think that a journalling filesystem gains you much when you are running a database? Databases do their own transaction management using two-phase commit and logfiles for rollback in case of a crash using a few very large files, which they'll write to directly using async/directIO (whatever the term you wish to use is), rather than using OS/filesystem buffering -- -Chuck -- + kenji morishige [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kenjim.com + ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Running FreeBSD/PostgreSQL on high-end dual Xeon box
Hello everyone, first time list leech. I am in the process of speccing out a high end PC to be used as a database server for PostgreSQL. We are currently running MySQL on Linux, but want to migrate our code to PostgreSQL and we are primarily a FreeBSD shop. I am currently specing a 2U dual Xeon server and hope to use RAID 0+1 capability. The question is for PostgreSQL admins... 1) Which RAID controller should we use? 2) Considering Q1, does it not even make sense to use FreeBSD+PostgreSQL and bite the bullet and go with Linux (assuming it has better hw RAID support) and run PostgreSQL on that using a fancier journaling filesystem. Any comments greatly appreciated. -Kenji -- + kenji morishige [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kenjim.com + ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
