nfsiod on FreeBSD 4.11

2005-02-25 Thread Michael E . Conlen
I'm running a FreeBSD 5.3-p5 server and several FreeBSD 4.11 clients. 
The clients run high levels of concurrency (web servers running several 
hundred processes at a time). The clients NFS connection tend to lockup 
when running nfsiod but (so far) appear not to when not running nfsiod. 
When the lockup occurs the send-q and recv-q on both ends tends to have 
somewhere around 33000 bytes. Even when the sendspace and recvspace is 
set to 65536. Any idea what each side is waiting for?

If there's something I can do to help debug the issue let me know.

growfs

2005-02-25 Thread Michael E . Conlen
Any idea why a growfs to this size works
growfs: 493962.0MB (1011634176 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 
2048
using 2688 cylinder groups of 183.77MB, 11761 blks, 23552 
inodes.
with soft updates
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
 1010881632, 1011257984

but a growfs to
server# growfs -s 101222 /dev/da1s1d

fails while there is plenty of disk space available. The error doesn't 
seem to make sense and I'm thinking there's some value that's flipped 
out.

This is a mailing list for questions about how to use FreeBSD, not why 
you should or shouldn't use FreeBSD.

We generally don't care if you use FreeBSD or not.

pf and different MTUs

2005-01-28 Thread Michael E . Conlen
I'm using FreeBSD and PF as a firewall between two  networks. I want to 
change the MTU on one network to 9k but I have to leave the MTU on the 
other network at 1500 bytes. Will the system handle the fragmenting for 
me going from the larger MTU to the smaller?

Sure.  However, if you have a lot of traffic using jumbo frames going 
over that 1500 MTU segment, you might be better off using an MTU of 
1500 everywhere.

At least half the traffic I use now doesn't go over that link and would 
benefit from the larger MTU. In addition I'm constrained on resources 
for those servers where as I can add additional firewalls without great 
expense. On the other side there is a good bit of traffic going over 
those links that would use jumbo frames but not all of it would. In 
addition the cost of using two separate networks for the traffic would 
be more than adding two more firewalls (based on the cost of doubling 
the number of ports) so I'm figuring this is the way to go.

Thanks.

Re: pf for FreeBSD

   Why not just run OpenBSD if you want to use pf?  I use both Free

install OpenBSD, enable routing, enable pf in rc.conf and you are 
done.

I can tell you in my case OpenBSD doesn't provide drivers for the 
hardware I have.

RE: SNMP

2003-07-30 Thread Michael E. Conlen
For FreeBSD I recommend the Net-SNMP package www.net-snmp.org. It's a very
good package, highly extensible, and generally reliable.

Be sure to configure it properly so that it's secure. change the community
string, and restrict what IP addresses can access it. Use SNMP v3 if at all
possible.

Hi,

I am new to SNMP. I was asked to set up SNMP agents and a manager on some of
the computers in the lab. Can someone recommend some SNMP programs that I
can use or a good link on the Internet? I need it for both FreeBSD and
Windows machines. Thank you very much for you time. Best regards
