Re: Dual (zaphod) head on Intel i810 does not work for FreeBSD V7.0 Release

If the same hardware performs better in linux then the hardware isnt to blame for worser performance in fbsd. Chris Not to come down too hard on you, but the reason why Pro/1000 chipsets are reasonably pricey, and uncommon to find as an integrated NIC, except on server boards or intel own brand mobos, is that it is decent hardware, and hence costs real money to use. Consumer NICs like Realtek, Via Rhine and (imo) Marvell are cheap tat that 'just about' works, until you put it under heavy stress. I have encountered a series of Marvell based chips on my personal home computers that work about as well as a slap around the face. Also, even from the 'good' manufacturers, like broadcom and intel, you have 'consumer' parts, which are reasonably cheap, like bge(4) supported parts, and 'professional' parts, like bce(4) parts. One should work fine under moderate load, one should work fine under heavy load. One will cost $4, one will cost $100. I'm not saying the drivers are bug-free, but if you want performance and reliability, you get an em(4) or another professional chipset. Only a few months ago at work, we had to order around 75 Pro/1000s as we had had enough of crashes from our bce(4) based integrated NICs on our Dell 2950s. Fortunately for our wallet, we managed to fix the issues in the driver/hardware before our supplier could source that many - thanks David Christensen!

Cheers Tom Hi Marcio (Please don't top post, it destroys the logical flow of the conversation :) Apache 2.2 by default uses epoll() or kqueue() if it is available. Indeed, it is mandatory for the event MPM to work correctly. From the event manual page: ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/event.html ) The MPM assumes that the underlying apr_pollset implementation is reasonably threadsafe. This enables the MPM to avoid excessive high level locking, or having to wake up the listener thread in order to send it a keep-alive socket. This is currently only compatible with KQueue and EPoll. The use of kqueue is actually performed by the underlying apr implementation, but I'm sure if it is available to apr, it will use it.

Using GELI with a default 128bit AES key seems to limit at ~50MB/s , changing the sector size all the way upto 128KB makes no difference whatsoever to the performance. If I use the threads sysctl in loader.conf and drop the geli threads to 1 thread only (instead of the usual 3 it spawns on this system) the performance still does not change at all.

CPU in the machine is a pair of these: CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU5110 @ 1.60GHz (1603.92-MHz K8-class CPU) I've also come across some other strange issues with some other machines which have identical arrays but only a pair of 32bit 3.0Ghz xeons in them (Also using releng_6 as of yesterday, just i386 not amd64). On those geli will launch a single thread by default (cores-1 seems to be the default) however I cannot force it to launch 2 by using the sysctl, although on the 4 core machine I can successfully use it to launch 4. It would be nice to be able to use both cores on the 32bit machines for geli but given the results I've shown here I'm not sure it would gain me much at the moment. Another problem I've found is that if I use a sector size for GELI 8192 bytes then I'm unable to newfs the encrypted partition afterwards, it fails immediately with this error: newfs /dev/da0p1.eli increasing block size from 16384 to fragment size (65536) /dev/da0p1.eli: 62499.9MB (127999872 sectors) block size 65536, fragment size 65536 using 5 cylinder groups of 14514.56MB, 232233 blks, 58112 inodes. newfs: can't read old UFS1 superblock: read error from block device: Invalid argument The underlying device is readable/writeable however as dd can read/write to it without any errors.

This is where PPPoE clients like rp-pppoe and their ilk come into play. You can even do (rudimentary) sharing of the ADSL by plumbing it into a hub.

It seems odd that I cannot find an easier way around this with tcsh than setting an environment variable, running the svn command I need, then unsetting the environment variable, every time. Coupled with the strange argument quoting requirements of tcsh and the fact that it's easier to get into trouble with weird filenames than in other shells I've used, I'm tempted to go back to bash.

First, it shows how to make the Subversion client launch a very specific tunneling binary (the one located at /opt/alternate/ssh) with specific options.

We're using the FreeBSD Binary driver (available in ports) and running dual monitors with full Open GL support pretty seamlessly. I'd recommend that setup to anyone. It's a feature called Twinview which allows your desktop to span multiple monitors, and most programs that support xinerama(sp?) are 'aware' of the physical border between monitors, so you don't end up with windows popping up spanning both monitors. (i.e. maximize doesn't cross both monitors, just one).

I forgot that all the items were still in the box (did that to ensure that everything was put in the box and made it through shipping all right). Anyhow, getting back to the video thing at hand, if Gary was to purchase a card he should purchase an nVidia card. It's the only brand with OpenGL support properly enabled in Linux and FreeBSD. 5000-6000 series would be sufficient. -Garrett DVI comes in 3 (almost 4) flavours, DVI-D (digital data only), DVI-A (Analogue data only) and DVI-I (Integrated, both analogue and digital). The almost flavour is DVI-D dual-link, which carries more data than DVI-D (twice as much, who'd-a-thunk..) DVI cables can be any of the three types, the difference being which pins are hooked up. Most cables support the full pin-out, and therefore all the flavours. All graphics cards these days output either DVI-D dual-link, or DVI-I, depending upon the resolution you ask the graphics card to display. DVI-I can be converted to a VGA DSUB using a simple dongle. Any card that comes with a DVI port also comes with the dongle. I'd also recommend an nvidia card. The amount of memory available on a card limits the amount of 3D textures that can be loaded onto the card. If you aren't worried about gaming or 3D, then even a 32MB card should be able to handle two double buffered 1600x1200 displays. A 128 MB card will perform the same as the equivalent 256 MB card (or 384/512 MB, or even some cards now with 640 MB). Cheers Tom signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Some cards dont have much/any onboard dedicated RAM; instead they use system memory. Examples of these are nvidia cards labelled 'TC' (Turbo Cache), most (all?) integrated intel video chipsets. The other issue is on i386. 32-bit systems have 4GB of address space to use. Since you want to be able to address the graphics cards memory, some of this address space is allocated so the OS can address the memory. This means that if system RAM + video RAM 4 GB, some of the system RAM is unaddressable. That itself is a bit simplistic (its not 4 GB, its ~3.5 GB, for various reasons.) The main point is that if you have a system with 1 GB of system RAM and put in a graphics card with 640 MB of video RAM, you still have 1 GB of system RAM to play with, even though you have gone over 1/4 of the system RAM.

If I was using DHCPclient, I could edit dhclient.conf of course but PPPoE does not consult this file during negotiation that I am aware of. Any comments will be appreciated... As you say, PPP doesn't let you append extra servers to what it receives automatically. Your best recourse then is to find out the IP numbers of your ISPs DNS machines -- either by consulting the ISP's documentation or web site, by asking their support team or by looking at the results obtained by running PPP with 'enable dns'. Then make sure your ppp.conf does not overwrite your /etc/resolv.conf on connection, and just edit resolv.conf to insert the IP numbers you've discovered. A static resolv.conf will serve you well enough. After all, it's not like your ISP will be changing their DNS servers every few hours.

Re: How to find HorizSync / VertRefresh rates?
On Mon, 2007-04-30 at 11:02 +0200, Victor Engmark wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to create a pristine xorg.conf, but I've been unable to find proper values for HorizSync and VertRefresh for my Dell Latitude D610. Don't bother trying. If it works when you leave them unspecified, don't think any more about it. If it still doesn't work however, the easiest way is to construct a valid modeline specific to your monitor. Xorg can actually tell you what to put into your xorg.conf, see section 5.4.3.2 of the FreeBSD Handbook [1] The quickest way to get these values out is to grep your Xorg log (even from a failed run of Xorg). Eg (quoting from the Handbook) : $ grep -A 4 'Supported additional Video Mode' /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) I810(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) I810(0): clock: 108.0 MHz Image Size: 340 x 270 mm (II) I810(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1328 h_sync_end 1440 h_blank_end 1688 h_border: 0 (II) I810(0): v_active: 1024 v_sync: 1025 v_sync_end 1028 v_blanking: 1066 v_border: 0 (II) I810(0): Serial No: ETL5108015 This information is called EDID information. Creating a ModeLine from this is just a matter of putting the numbers in the correct order: ModeLine name clock 4 horiz. timings 4 vert. timings Heres one I made earlier (unfortunately, not the one from the log, that one works 'out-of-the-box') ModeLine 1680x1050 146.0 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 Cheers Tom [1] http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: Using LD_PRELOAD to make date return a specific date
On Tue, 2007-04-24 at 19:39 -0700, Kelly Jones wrote:
I recently discovered LD_PRELOAD, a cool environment variable that
lets a library intercept system calls. For example, setting
LD_PRELOAD to /usr/lib/libtsocks.so lets tsocks intercept socket
connections and redirect them to a SOCKS proxy.
My question: how can I write a library that intercepts the
gettimeofday() system call (or time() or whatever the 'date' command
uses) and gets 'date' to return, say, Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 UTC 1970?
I realize this involves a couple of steps (writing a C library for
one), so any pointers are appreciated. My real intentions are more
complex (and sinister G).
It's quite straightforward. /bin/date actually uses localtime(), not
gettimeofday(), but the principle is the same.
$ cat localtime_hack.c
#include sys/types.h
#include time.h
struct tm *
localtime(const time_t *clock)
{
static struct tm tv;
time_t epochal = 1;
localtime_r(epochal, tv);
return tv;
}
$ gcc -Wall -fpic -c -o localtime_hack.o localtime_hack.c
$ gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,localtime_hack.so.1 -o \
liblocaltime_hack.so.1.0 localtime_hack.o
$ LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/liblocaltime_hack.so.1.0 /bin/date
Thu 1 Jan 1970 01:00:01 BST
