Re: Swap and memory optimization

Looks like the server would run more smoothly with a bit more RAM. At least an additional 256M, I would think, but considering the price of RAM, you might as well just up it to 2G. The amount of used swap is much less important than whether you are actively swapping (if there are In/Out values on the Swap line in top, or if vmstat 1 shows nonzero values in the pi/po columns). 160MB of used swap is fine if it's just unused daemons (getty, idle webserver, etc). More memory can never hurt, but it doesn't seem like it's urgently needed here. I don't know about that, Dan. Especially considering it's a mail server he's talking about, there's no RAM left for disk cache on that machine. We've seen performance gains on our mail server by putting obscene amounts of RAM into it. After a bit of use, FreeBSD ends up having 6.5G of inactive RAM, which I assume is cache of mailboxes. The result is that while watching gstat, the amount of disk reads is very low (since a lot of data is already in RAM) and the IO is available to do fast writes when new mail comes in. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ ___ 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 -- Who knew ___ 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

Re: NFS- SAN - FreeBSD
You would be better off at least having the SAN on 1gb ethernet or even better tripple 1gb (on a 100mb switch should be fine but you need failover for higher avaliability) ethernet for latency and failover reasons with a hot backup on the network controller. I dont see why you could not do this, its just iscsi connection normally so there is not a big issue getting freebsd to connect to it. We run 2 of the 16tb powervault which does pretty well for storage, one runs everything and the other is a replicated offsite backup. Performance wise, it really depends on how many servers you have pulling data from the SAN and how hard the IO works on the current servers. If you have 100 servers you might push the IO a bit but but it should be fine if your not serving more than 2Mb/s out to everyone, the servers and disks are going to cache a fair amount of always used data.

It was segfaulting every time, php5's module was causing it but I never narrowed it down to exactly why. I ended up uninstalling php5, cleaning the work dir and the downloaded files and rebuilt and installed it. I also ended up rebuilding apache to be on the safe side and it started working again.

Re: Mounting a partition from freebsd 6.2?
It was /dev/ad2s1. I was able to do a force mount of the partition though and started recovering the information I was looking for. I am not sure why it is not allowing it in general but I have access to most of the files right now which is good. Has anybody had any problems with 6.2 formatted partitions not wanting to mount in 7?

Use:dump 0af - | restore -rf - It would be advisable to read the dump and restore manpages first. In 6.1, and I suspect still in 6.2, restore -r should be used only when restoring onto an empty filesystem or loading an incremental on top of such a full restore. If the destination (current directory) is not the root of an empty filesystem, you want restore -x or restore -i instead. I think he was talking about a full filesystem restore in which case 'restore -rf' would be correct. The man page actually is a tiny bit misleading on the -r. You can use it to restore the whole filesystem in any dedicated space including any directory. But with -r you just cannot specify which part of the filesystem you want to restore, such as a particular directory or file. For that you will need -xf which will work for a full filesystem too in most cases. jerry ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: Blocking very many (tens of thousands) ip addresses in ipfw

What is the most efficient way to do it? At first i thought doing ipfw rules using 5 ips per rule, that would result in 3 rules! This will be too slow! I need to something really quick and smart. Like matching the first number from ip (195 from 192.1.2.3), if it does not match - skip, if it does - compare the next one and so on. Quoting ipfw(8): LOOKUP TABLES Lookup tables are useful to handle large sparse address sets, typically from a hundred to several thousands of entries. There may be up to 128 different lookup tables, numbered 0 to 127. net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets should probably also be increased to efficiently handle 150k IPs. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if the OP is going to drop all traffic immediately from the 150k IPs, then dyn_buckets shouldn't come into play, as there is no dynamic rule generated.

Re: Mounting a partition from freebsd 6.2?
I can run a check disk on it and it returned that the file system was previously mounted on /mnt/backup and returns that the file system is in good shape. I will have to wait until I get back in front of it to attempt the dump piped to restore. I have never had to recover a drive like that, is there anything specific I should look at for switches or just dump /dev/ad2s1 | restore?

Supposing ad2s1 is in fact the slice containing the filesystem in question, and the filesystem was originally made directly on that slice without partitioning it, it should be possible to run dump(8) against it and pipe the output to restore(8). This should work if the slice is readable, even if it cannot be mounted. ___ 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
