The multithreading issue in freebsd has been delayed for nearly 6 years. They have just made work arounds, not fixing the actual problem. It seems that the only real BSD that has made big progress on the core issues is DragonflyBSD. Dragonfly BSD is a branch of freeBSD that we are all watching with great interest. The advantage that is available there is the decision to go back to teh drawing board and start from scratch, thereby breaking a lot, in the hope of being able to fix it again when teh parts afe all completed. It is a very interesting experiment and as such, FreeBSD developers in general are watching with interest. It appears that FreeBSD have a clear Multi-threading lock-in issue that needs to be fixed. Not work arounds. According to many freebsd developers nobody simply wants to fix this, is it true that the current smp work are just 'work-arounds' not real fixing? Well if you could explain yourself in English I'd have more of a chance of answering your questions. The big challenge with FreeBSD and MP is that we have to get from a here (where there was no MP at all) the a there (where there is), while having every step of the way between being a runnable stable (within reason) system. This greatly limits how things are done. The current SMP work is not just workarounds but rather steps needed to get from A to B. Sometimes you can't see what the final picture is by looking at an intermediate step in isolation. The only thing holding FreeBSD back is the Multithreading issue. I wish you would explain this statement. It could be interpretted in so many ways that it really is almost meaningless. (Some of the interpretatiosn however are not..) Please clarify this.

What makes you say we have not done anything aout this.? We have are working on a new scheduler (ULE) that is designed to implement processor affinity as a basic part of its functionality. When we are happy wih it we'll make it standard. Furthermore, the SMP issue is a common problem among many FreeBSD developers whom have told me the same, there is alot of this information all over the internet. FreeBSD is unable to perform good on multiple CPUs, the fixes are just work arounds. What have they told you? SMP in FreeBSD is coming along quite nicely as far as I see.. We now have native SMP scaleable threading in the default system, and larger and larger parts of the system ara able to take advantage of Multiple processors to parallelise their work. Unless if the freebsd community has just started to fix the multithreading issue, it's a huge problem. We've been working hard at it for 4 years (where did you get 6?) and we are seeing real results.. It sounds to me like you haven't actually tried it out yet. We hav elots to do yet, but there's been a lot of progress. BTW there is something going on with linux and mysql.. It looks like they have some optimisations in there that are not SMP related as their uniprocessor numbers are also better, and I've heard that when you run a linux mysql binary under freeBSD you also get similar improvements so My money is on the compile options or something ;-) Darwin does not have this problem whatsoever. Dawin was designed from the beginning for SMP. Mach was SMP capable from the firt release I ever worked on which was 2.0. Why do I care? This is a silly question. I have 2 windows PCs here, I have 9 other workstations that all run unix. I am a server manager and I do consulting work for freebsd/linux. Windows came free so why not? I don't do business on it. I've been a really huge FreeBSD supporter.. but I am really concerned about this issue which has been an issue for so long.

Re: Regarding Boot failure
If it does not continue from there (did you press return?) something went wrong during the installation process because apparently the kernel is not where the bootloader expects it. Try to do the install again and make sure the bootloader is installed on the right place. The handbooks install section covers all aspects of this faily well, so its a good idea to have access to it while installing.

You do know that apache13+mod_ssl involves a lot of patching to the apache part, and that modules compiled for that combination aren't suitable for use with plain apache13, and vice versa? Try setting APACHE_PORT=www/apache13-modssl in your /etc/make.conf or in the ENV[] section in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and recompiling PHP and any PHP extensions. Note that there's an unresolved bug to do with SSL support in PHP4 -- if you load SSL support as a module, you don't get all of the functionality you do when SSL is compiled into PHP directly. One package that is adversely affected is Squirrelmail, which is prevented from using the encrypted version of IMAP. There's been several posts about the problem around the FreeBSD lists, including instructions on how to fudge the new PHP ports structure to get a compiled-in SSL extension. The bug doesn't affect PHP5, but then again, a log of PHP applications don't work under PHP5 yet either.

Re: Automating FreeBSD Installation(s)...
On Sat, Sep 18, 2004 at 04:11:06PM -0400, Forrest Aldrich wrote: I've read several articles out there that address different means to automate (or standardize, for internal purposes) FreeBSD installations. One article (which was older) spoke of scripting sysinstall via an install.cfg with some custom pkg modules to do edits. The other, exploiting the PXE capability of the newer (Intel) NICs. Actually these two aren't necessarily exclusive. PXE allows you to build a mechanism like Solaris Jumpstart -- where systems will automatically install and configure themselves from a network server. One of the ways to work PXE is to combine it with the scripted install capabilities of sysinstall(8). I'm interested in what people are doing now - what has had the better success rate, etc.I realize this is all dependent upon one's environment - mine will be more ISP-related, but will require some flexibility for different servers. PXE is pretty good, but it depends on having appropriate support supplied via your hardware. Another good system is to build your own customised install CDs (maybe even going to the lengths of building a separate install CD for each server) -- you can include various extra packages as part of your standard install, and you can create a package of your own to install config files in /etc and similar places[1]. Get it right, and installing a system can be automated right down to slapping a CD Rom in the drive and telling the system to boot from it. I've also heard of people utilizing GNU CFEngine for this type of procedure, which I find interesting - it's a complex package, but seems to be very functional if you have time/patience to apply it. CFEngine is more to do with port-install configuration: managing a whole machine room full of servers from a centralised configuration database. Cheers, Matthew [1] You can even use a FreeSBIE disk -- your OS lives on the (unwritable) CD Rom, and the disk newfs'es and mounts and populates the filesystems using the systems' hard drive as necessary. Very easy to recover from system compromise in that case: just reboot. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK pgpy9HJfZAB7Q.pgp Description: PGP signature

Pressing refresh does nothing... as soon as the FIN_WAIT_1 vanishes, then everything is OK again, for a few more minutes. FIN_WAIT_1 means that the server is waiting for a FIN packet from the client to signal that the TCP connection should be torn down. There's a few things to check: i) Do you have 'tcp_extensions=YES' in /etc/rc.conf -- or the corresponding net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 sysctl set to 1? That turns on the RFC1323 extensions. Now, RFC1323 has been around long enough that just about everything should support it nowadays. Try toggling the setting -- turning it off may well make things slower, but slow is better than never. Similarly try toggling the net.inet.tcp.rfc1644 sysctl from 0 to 1 -- that enables or disables T/TCP ii) The TCP_DROP_SYNFIN kernel option (and the corresponding tcp_drop_synfin rc.conf variable) can cause problems, particularly with HTTP traffic. As it says in LINT: # # TCP_DROP_SYNFIN adds support for ignoring TCP packets with SYN+FIN. This # prevents nmap et al. from identifying the TCP/IP stack, but breaks support # for RFC1644 extensions and is not recommended for web servers. # options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN iii) Last, but probably most likely: if you're running IPFW or ipf using dynamic rules, it's possible that the dynamic rules have been set to time out too quickly during the shutdown phase of the connection, so the FIN packet from the client is getting filtered out. Confirm that by turning off the firewall for testing (so long as you're on a protected private network) or add a static rule allowing all HTTP traffic between your server and your test machine. Tools like tcpdump(1) and etherreal(1) are invaluable when trying to debug this sort of networking problem: being able to inspeact exactly what is passing over the wire helps you make sense of a lot of puzzling failure modes. Also read the tuning(7) man page for some more detail on what all those sysctls and things really do, and when you might want to enabe them.

Native Mozilla-Firebird build via ports?
Hello everyone, I recently got myself a broadband internet connection and happily started upgrading a lot of software on my machine. Among others, I wanted to upgrade MozillaFirebird. Before the upgrade I used FireBird 0.7. Then I deinstalled the package - I really don't remember where I got the package... - and wanted to upgrade via ports. Unfortunately, I discovered that this was not a native version but a Linux version running in binary compatibility. ;-/ I'd rather have native build, since I know this is possible. Can I do so via ports? 'find /usr/ports -name *bird*' only comes up with linux-mozillafirebird in /usr/ports/www. Or do I have to build Firebird myself?

Re: winxp freebsd dual boot with freebsd on second HD

If this happens to you, or you want to replace your existing MBR with the FreeBSD MBR then use the following command: # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device Where device is the device that you boot from . . . You have to do that to all bootable drives in your machine -- so assuming your Windows disk is ad0 and your FreeBSD disk is ad2, you'ld run: # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0 # fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad2 In either case, you shouldn't need to rewrite the partition table. See also boot0cfg(8) for a tool that lets you configure exactly how the boot blocks work. Indeed, you can use boot0cfg(8) instead of fdisk(8) to achieve your ends: # boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0 # boot0cfg -B -b /boot/boot0 ad2 boot0cfg only ever affects the boot blocks; unlike fdisk it doesn't do anything with partition tables, other than allow you to choose which slices to boot from. Note that the boot0 boot block is very minimal -- it fits into a single 512 byte sector -- and that many people prefer 3rd party boot managers like GAG: http://gag.sourceforge.net/ which, while quite a bit bigger, have a much friendlier user interface.

I was told that I should replace the file /usr/include/sys/endian.h with a new one that was emailed to me by a maintainer. It seems to have worked ok but my question is this: I did a complete cvsup update just prior to building kde3 and built he kernel and world on: Aug 27 22:24:12 MDT 2004 - would not have rebuilding my kernel / cvsup fetched this new endian.h file? If not why? That's the thing when corresponding with developers: they may well ask you to test out patches they've literally just written. Seeing as you seem to have had a good result from that, I'd expect the patch (or something equivalent) to make it's way into the system eventually. You didn't say if you were corresponding with a KDE developer or a FreeBSD kernel developer -- as the file that was replaced is part of the FreeBSD system, a KDE person would have to pass it over to the FreeBSD side for review. Even so, the patch would generally be committed to 6-CURRENT first, for testing, and then merged into 5-STABLE and maybe 4-STABLE after some time. At the moment however 5-STABLE is in a source code freeze prior to the release of 5.3-RELEASE, so anything added there has to pass through the even more rigourous examination of the release engineering team. On the other hand, it could be a well-known fix that enables that software to build on an older version of the system: you don't say which system version you're running, but if it's older than 4.10-RELEASE or it it's one of the 5.x preview releases (5.2.1-RELEASE or earlier) -- then that patch wouldn't be applied to those versions[1]. In which case, you'ld either have to always apply the patch manually whenever you did a buildworld, or you'ld have to upgrade to a newer version of the system where it would be incorporated. Or the KDE folks might possibly incorporate a work-around into the kde3 port to enable it to build cleanly on earlier system versions. I hope I posted this OK - I am new to the mailing list thing. Seems fine to me. Cheers, Matthew [1] The project guarrantees that the -RELEASE branches will maintain a stable API/ABI and that only security patches will be applied.

Take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html If you can configure your system to preserve a crash dump and extract from it a backtrace which you then use send-pr(1) to send in, you should find a developer willing to help you.

A prime suspect would be hardware failure -- if you have the resources to do so, try swapping out components to see if you can isolate the problem. Don't forget to swap out the simplest parts, like network cables. Another prime suspect would be recent changes made to the configuration of your system or the network it is attached to. Given the nature of the panic, changes to the way routing is done would be a good place to start investigating. (Nb. if it turns out to be a change that someone else made on a machine elsewhere on your network, then reporting the problem to the FreeBSD developers would become imperative: remote crash bugs are very bad news indeed) This topic is best dealt with on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list -- please post any follow up there.

Re: Please explain.
Mr. Watson, you have addressed my questions greatly and I do agree that it will take years to successfully tackle the issue but when FreeBSD has had less funding than Linux it's obvious that it's developers have made huge progress and that I'm proud of.

FreeBSD is aware of the issues apparently and is working. - Original Message - From: Robert Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 11:31 AM Subject: Re: Please explain. On Sat, 18 Sep 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2 Major Issues: - FreeBSD has a processor affinity design issue Odd statement, but I'm not sure what it means. FreeBSD uses an SMP model similar to that used by Sun, SGI, and other operating system and hardware vendors who are clearly aware of affinity concerns, and who have operating systems that scale pretty amazingly on SMP and non-SMP multi-processor systems. - The core kernel issues with FreeBSD is the horrible threading support.There is so much crap in FreeBSD kernel. The multithreading issue in freebsd has been delayed for nearly 6 years. They have just made work arounds, not fixing the actual problem. It seems that the only real BSD that has made big progress on the core issues is DragonflyBSD. This is also an odd statement. FreeBSD is following a well-understood and widely implemented model for SMP scalability, although somewhat refined as a result of starting on it after the RD curve that Sun, IBM, SGI, HP, etc, got to pay for. However, any major software project of this sort takes years to complete -- Linux is only just getting to reasonable SMP scalability after a good 6+ years of investment by some pretty major players. Doesn't help that Linus turns down patches from SGI that help a lot though :-). BTW, I've spent a lot of time looking at the DragonFly approach, and I met with Matt for quite a while at USENIX to talk to him about the approach. I have a number of concerns about it -- I think the premise is very interesting, but that the results aren't yet there to prove the model. In particular, there's a huge volume of code in their system that has not been addressed, and a lot of complexity that will need to be handled before the SMP primitives they're using have proven that they offer the desired performance advantage. We have the opportunity of using a hybrid model, and have been exploring some of the ideas present in DFBSD (and, one should point out, many other SMP systems). A lot of other systems have opted to use elements similar to those primitives, but in a much more limited way due to the performance costs. For example, locking services into particular CPUs prevents the scheduler from balancing load between the CPUs in an service-transparent way. In the DFBSD model, load balancing must be implemented separately for each service, requiring extensive modifications to the services. I.e., the model may indeed offer benefits, but the cost of doing the work will be high, and the time to complete it long. We'll adopt elements of the design as they prove to make sense, as we do with all other open source operating systems (and they do with us!). It appears that FreeBSD have a clear Multi-threading lock-in issue that needs to be fixed. Not work arounds. According to many freebsd developers nobody simply wants to fix this, is it true that the current smp work are just 'work-arounds' not real fixing? The only thing holding FreeBSD back is the Multithreading issue. I think this is a pretty odd claim -- FreeBSD 5.x scales much better than 4.x on multiple processors, allowing large parts of the kernel to run in parallel on different CPUs. The performance results are there, showing 1.4x - 1.6x speedup in SMP tasks with MySQL. I saw elsewhere in the thread that someone suggested Darwin doesn't have SMP problems to address. Darwin is actually in an almost identical position to us, having basic VM, kernel memory allocation, and scheduling outside the Giant lock. They took the route of breaking the BSD parts of their kernel into two funnels, the network funnel, and the rest. Our 5.3 release will actually be much better off than Darwin on SMP by allowing many threads of the network stack to run on different CPUs, more support for preemption and low-latency operation. I've talked with Apple pretty extensively about their SMP work, and met with their kernel team to discuss their work.

Re: Omni Drivers for a Canon Printer
Thank you very much! I did not find Omni drivers though. However, I did
find very detailed instructions on how to modify the default
configuration for a Canon S800 printer that is using gimp-print drivers
that makes an Canon S520 run. So I decided to give it a shot.
I found in the Gimp-print drivers in my Ports so installed them. Then
got the Cups up and running. The test print was so much better than what
my omni drivers with a Canon S8500 can do on the Linux side that I went
over to the Linux side and changed them as well.

Re: Please explain.
My question regarding the 2 extremely major flaws in FreeBSD are being addressed as I have learned from mature FreeBSD developers, due to my question. Therefore many linux-fanatics who are focussed on an only-linux world will no longer be able to use this issue. These two stop-gap items will be at the forefront of the work for the next year, along with a major move to start removing the BGL (Big Giant Lock, also known as the MP lock) from code inherited from 4.x ...that is the one mentioned on dragonfly page too Regarding the people who e-mailed me regarding mySQL on FreeBSD just Google it: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8q=performance+freebsd+mysql ..as you can see there are issues but they are being solved. Furthermore... This age actually tells me that my assertions are true regarding freeBSD's problems: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/5-roadmap/article.html This page also explains to me that these problems will be completely fixed and that once FreeBSD 5.x is completely finished and stable that It will be the best choice in operating systems. I knew I wasn't trolling, but too many people sent me horrible hatred messages. Furthermore: HawkinsOS is a modified FreeBSD 5.x that retains the BSD license and continues to give credit to the FreeBSD group, as well as once this project is started will donate to the organization... So why would so many people from so many lists say I'm doing illegal licesing things, etc.? It also retains complete compatibilty to FreeBSD, which I've made sure to help the FreeBSD project, as this is one issue where linux has been successful. I'm a FreeBSD fan and I always will be and I'm glade this issues are being taken care of and I understand the money wasn't there like it was for Linux.

The multithreading issue in freebsd has been delayed for nearly 6 years. They have just made work arounds, not fixing the actual problem. It seems that the only real BSD that has made big progress on the core issues is DragonflyBSD. Dragonfly BSD is a branch of freeBSD that we are all watching with great interest. The advantage that is available there is the decision to go back to teh drawing board and start from scratch, thereby breaking a lot, in the hope of being able to fix it again when teh parts afe all completed. It is a very interesting experiment and as such, FreeBSD developers in general are watching with interest. It appears that FreeBSD have a clear Multi-threading lock-in issue that needs to be fixed. Not work arounds. According to many freebsd developers nobody simply wants to fix this, is it true that the current smp work are just 'work-arounds' not real fixing? Well if you could explain yourself in English I'd have more of a chance of answering your questions. The big challenge with FreeBSD and MP is that we have to get from a here (where there was no MP at all) the a there (where there is), while having every step of the way between being a runnable stable (within reason) system. This greatly limits how things are done. The current SMP work is not just workarounds but rather steps needed to get from A to B. Sometimes you can't see what the final picture is by looking at an intermediate step in isolation. The only thing holding FreeBSD back is the Multithreading issue. I wish you would explain this statement. It could be interpretted in so many ways that it really is almost meaningless. (Some of the interpretatiosn however are not..) Please clarify this.

raid5 setup
hi I'm thinking about buying three 160GB ata or sata drives and setting up RAID5. The first question is, is it true that the ata command set has nothing to tell the state of the write cache and is this the same with sata drives? Since i'm not concerned with the performance of that array, all that matters to me is the storage and reliability, would it help if i get one of those manufacturer utilities and turn the cache off? I was told (by a incident response guy) that he has seen far too many messed up ata raid5 setups. I would also like to be able add new 160GB drives without having to copy the data from the setup and recreating it from scratch. Hopefully, the raid5 setup could recalculate the parity onto the new drive and reconfigure itself for bigger storage. Well as i mentioned, the performance doesn't matter at all, and i'm even thinking of encrypting that whole setup with gbde, what would be the best way to do this? with a raid5 hardware card, or software setup? Is the new gvinum worth a try? as i only heard horror vinum stories so far. Also what ata/sata drives are the most recommended by bsd guys? :), i can get 160GB hitachi, westerndigital and maxtor drives, all for the same price of around $100.

disabling USB in install kernel
Hi all, I'm trying to get FreeBSD installed on a Sony VAIO U50, but the install kernel never gets past probing the USB devices and I can't for the life of me work out how to disable USB. In OpenBSD I boot -c to bring up the user kernel config and then disable uhci* and all is good, but the FreeBSD equivalent eludes me. The ports are all USB2, and the responses I've seen to other people with similar symptoms is to tell the BIOS to not emulate a PS-2 keyboard and mouse - unfortunately my BIOS doesn't have any options along those lines. I'm PXE-booting the 5.3B4 installer, at the beastie screen I drop to the loader prompt, and then set hint.uhci.0.disabled=1 set hint.uhci.1.disabled=1 set boot_userconfig=1 boot but I never see the userconfig screen and the kernel boots the same as if none of those options were set. Here is the tail end of the messages the kernel shows - after the second uhub1 message it just stops (I've left it for 10 minutes or so and there's no progress).

Which media do you intend to backup to? If I were in your place, I would just tar the /home and the /etc and put it on a USB drive or on a CDR/DVDR if you have a burner. However, Are you sure that the drive is fixed firmly into the drive bay and you are seating the laptop on a sturdy base? Regards S.

When I boot up, the drive makes clanking sounds I've never heard before, and never finishes the load. I'm going to make a rescue disk, but does anyone have a strategy for how I could handle the delicate job of getting my updated data off the drive without making matters worse? So far, I figure I will boot the rescue disk and try to mount the filesystems. jm -- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Subhro Sankha Kar School of Information Technology Block AQ-13/1 Sector V ZIP 700091 India ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ATAPICAM - cdrecord will not recognize my DVD burner

I have an Asus A7N8X delux motherboard, AMD 3200+ cpu, 2G of ram and (2) 15,000 rpm scsi drives. I recently bought a Toshiba DVD+r/-r burner, which I replaced my DVDr/CDRW drive with. The new drive is detected at bootup: acd0: DVDR TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-H552B at ata0-master PIO4 Do you later see lines like: cd0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd1 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd2 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0? If not, you probably need to add device atapicam to your kernel configuration. However, cdrecord --scanbus no longer can see the drive through scsi emulation. What does it see? Regards Fabian Other than what I mention in my post, there's nothing more detected at boot-up. I'll see if there's an option atapicam that I can include in my kernel config file.
