increasing latency on idle box with ASUS P4B533VM board
Hi, I've build a new P4 box (1.8Ghz, 512MB mem) based upon a ASUS P4B533VM motherboard. This board has an Intel 845G chipset and onboard 10/100 mbit/s LAN (fxp driver). When connected directly to a gateway (in my case an Extreme BD10k) I observe the following behaviour: a ping to the gateway starts around 1ms and slowly increases in steps of .1 or .2ms to around 10ms. Then it suddenly drops back to 1ms and the process starts all over again. I've tried a different NIC (3com, xl driver), new cabling, new switchport and all gives me the same result. My other labbox (a AMD 2000 XP+ with 3com PCI nic) connected to the same router is showing normal latency. This gives me the feeling it's some sort of timing issue on the P4's motherboard itself. Has anyone seen this before? I've searched the archives and found little on this topic. Any tips/hints where I can seach for further clues?

Load Balancing - Nice and Easy - no BGP, no isp help.
Hello friends I am trying for a while to make a load balancer under FreeBSD I would have: 3 nics, ISP1 nic, ISP2 nic and LAN nic. What i've done until now, after reading lots of posts, googling for a while: - I've suceeded to setup an outgoing load balancer with pf, it works perfectly but only for outgoing traffic; - I've noticed that almost everybody thing that it cannot be done load balancing with BSD of incoming and outgoing without help of that both ISP (BGP) - I find hardware with proprietary OS/firmware that can do load balancing without support of ISP. Some are cheap (300$), but at review does not know to load balance incoming traffic (break functionality of some pages accessed, since some of load is on one interface, some of other, works corectly only if i setup to come some type of traffic on one interface, some of other (for example trafic via port 80 on one nic, ftp traffic on the other), also are expensive hardware load balancers (over 1000$) that... i am asking myself how it works, without help of isp. - I've found somewhere that it can be done load balancing but not with one box with that 3 nics, but with 3 boxex, because (that article i am insipring said that every box has just one routing table) because can be created a virtual server that with handle routes from that 2 boxes. - People told me that in Linux load balancing cand be done, 3 nics, 2 external, one to Lan, with iptables. Here is a short article: http://linux.com.lb/wiki/index.pl?node=Load%20Balancing%20Across%20Multiple%20Links So, my question is, if some people made it (in expensive hardware that did have the same OS, maybe even FreeBSD, and proprietary algorythms) and in Linux it can be done (people told me, i've read articles and also so it here, where i live) why it cannot be done under FreeBSD? I guess it can be done, I want to do it with FreeBSD, and want to obtain same performances as with Linux. What is your opinion about that? What should I do?

Hello. I have some questions about portsnap. The intention of portsnap seems to be reasonable. But I miss a similar facility updating the operating system! One of the major arguments using portsnap is to avoid the intrusion of malicous code, injected via a 'man in the middle'. Thinking of so called root-kits it makes more sense to me securing the updates of source code of the operating system also or at first place. Are there any plans doing so? Or alternatives?

...
I just wanted to learn something new. Please, post an example if you can.
There is an easy to reproduce case, when running executables of certain
memory models in MS-DOS. Many users forget that function pointers are
*NOT* the same as object pointers. They generally happen to just work
on most UNIX machines, but they are not the same at all.
For instance, this will tend to work on FreeBSD:
1 #include assert.h
2 #include stdio.h
3 #include stdlib.h
4
5 static int increase(int *);
6 static int decrease(int *);
7
8 typedef int (*fptr_t)(int *);
9
10 int
11 main(void)
12 {
13 int k, oval, val;
14 char *p[] = { (char *)increase, (char *)decrease, };
15 fptr_t fptr;
16
17 val = 0;
18 for (k = 0; k 10; k++) {
19 fptr = (fptr_t)(p[rand() % 2]);
20 oval = fptr(val);
21 printf(%3d - %3d\n, oval, val);
22 }
23 return (0);
24 }
25
26 int
27 increase(int *xp)
28 {
29 int old;
30
31 assert(xp != NULL);
32 old = *xp;
33 *xp += 1;
34 return (old);
35 }
36
37 int
38 decrease(int *xp)
39 {
40 int old;
41
42 assert(xp != NULL);
43 old = *xp;
44 *xp -= 1;
45 return (old);
46 }
On most UNIX installations I've seen, the (char *) pointers at line 14
can save the address of a function, even though this is not allowed by
the C standard. If you build this with GCC using the -std=c89 -pedantic
options, a warning *IS* printed both for the dubious casts of function
pointers to (char *) in line 14 and for the cast back to a function
pointer (simplified a bit through a typedef) at line 19:
% foo.c: In function `main':
% foo.c:14: warning: ISO C forbids conversion of function pointer to object
pointer type
% foo.c:14: warning: ISO C forbids conversion of function pointer to object
pointer type
% foo.c:19: warning: ISO C forbids conversion of object pointer to function
pointer type
Having said that this is *NOT* standard C, now I can tell you why this may
bite you in bad ways on some environments, even though it just happens to work
on FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris, if you build the program without all the
warnings of -std=c89.
When programming with certain memory models in DOS though, you may find that
a pointer to a function requires 32 bits of storage, while a pointer to the
data area of the program requires only 16 (because, for instance, the program
has a very large code area but it has only one 65 KB segment for storing data).
In that case, a function pointer that is coerced into a (char *) may
end up being trimmed. When you coerce it back to a function pointer
it will almost certainly point to the wrong place. That's not very good.

Re: gif tunnel overhead
FreeBSD MailingLists [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: about how much (what percent) bandwidth overhead should I expect if I connect two hosts using a UNENCRYPTED gif tunnel over a 2Mbps connection? It depends on the kind of packets you're sending. As a corollary to that, the overhead will probably *not* be symmetrical (in both directions). It also depends on how the tunnel is configured. For maximum-size regular Ethernet packets with IPv4 over IPv4, figure a couple of percent of overhead; for minimum-size IP packets, it will be over 30%. The latter case probably isn't a problem, though, because it's unusual to fill a symmetrical-bandwidth link with minimum-size packets. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm in the process of trying to set up a Solaris jumpstart
server in a lab, and I decided for chuckles to do it with FreeBSD.
The problem I'm running in to is that apparently, the Sun bootparamd
allows you to pass parameters as fields, for instance, as a couple of
sample fields out of the Solaris-generated /etc/bootparams (note:
entry is clearly not complete, but I didn't want to distract)
testserver rootopts=:rsize=32768 term=:vt100
However, if I move this directly in to FreeBSD's /etc/bootparams, it
will complain that it can not answer the request for rootopts from
the Sun box.
Is there something I'm missing? the man page seems to allude to
the fact that all entries should be in the format of
host:/path/to/file. Or, am I going to have to look at finding
another bootparamd than the stock one?
The code silently fails if any host field doesn't resolve to a valid IP
address. Try the attached diff, which lets your example line work for
me.

increasing latency on idle box with ASUS P4B533VM board
Hi, I've build a new P4 box (1.8Ghz, 512MB mem) based upon a ASUS P4B533VM motherboard. This board has an Intel 845G chipset and onboard 10/100 mbit/s LAN (fxp driver). When connected directly to a gateway (in my case an Extreme BD10k) I observe the following behaviour: a ping to the gateway starts around 1ms and slowly increases in steps of .1 or .2ms to around 10ms. Then it suddenly drops back to 1ms and the process starts all over again. I've tried a different NIC (3com, xl driver), new cabling, new switchport and all gives me the same result. My other labbox (a AMD 2000 XP+ with 3com PCI nic) connected to the same router is showing normal latency. This gives me the feeling it's some sort of timing issue on the P4's motherboard itself.

dump(8), incremental backups, Tower of Hanoi sequence, don't get it
Hello. Lately I have been getting more and more worried about data on my FreeBSD box at home. I am forming a real small-scale backup policy with two different big USB harddrives (yet to buy) storing regular incremental backups (yet to figure out).

So I am giving it a try - only to find out that I don't understand at all the meaning of that modified Tower of Hanoi algorithm descibed in the manual page and elsewhere. The manual page says it is an efficient method of staggering incremental dumps to minimize the number of tapes. I just don't get the picture here. So, could somebody please give an idiot-proof explanation why 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 9 9 is such a tape-number-minimizing dump level sequence (with helpful examples, if at all possible)? How does it work?

Write yourself some sequences and figure out for yourself which ones you would need for a full backup. Try to figure out for each backup whether the same files will be dumped by a later backup. They will, if a later backup number is *lower*. The algorithm your aiming to create is: Start with a level 0 and ignore everything before. from end of list, find the lowest number before you reach the starting dump. You'll need this backup.

Given 0 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 To restore everything you need the 0, 2, 4 and 6. I.e. every second dump. You'll see that wherever you stop in that sequence, no more than 3 backups are required to recover everything. I have never liked the 9 9 9 trailing off to infinity. If you are not doing a full backup by then, then you should be restarting your sequence from the dump after the full backup. E.g. 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 then back to 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 and repeat. Personally I use a much shorter sequence: 0 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2. But that's because I don't usually change vast amounts of data. I would also consider doing your backups daily, not weekly as your example suggests. The timing of full backups depends on how busy your machine is.

Vinum migration 4.x-5.4
There seems to be a consensus in the references I've found that vinum is completely broken on 5.4 and that gvinum/geom_vinum is not ready for production use. As it seems to me, this means that anyone using 4.11 (say) and vinum will have to abandon vinum (i.e. quit doing software RAID) in order to upgrade to 5.4. That can be both laborious and slow (e.g. if you have /usr on, say, a four-drive vinum volume in 4.11, you're going to have to replace those drives with something else in order to go to 5.4. Is that false, and is there a relatively simple way to get geom_vinum in 5.4 to read a vinum configuration produced under 4.11 and start the vinum volume as it is?

Re: dump(8), incremental backups, Tower of Hanoi sequence, don't get it
Hello. Lately I have been getting more and more worried about data on my FreeBSD box at home. I am forming a real small-scale backup policy with two different big USB harddrives (yet to buy) storing regular incremental backups (yet to figure out). The idea is to have those harddrives mirror each other for extra security. It really depends on the size of your file systems to back up, the size of your media to receie the backup files, the speed of the backup device and how much data changes during any given interval between backups. If your media is big enough to hold a complete backup and there is not a lot of data change between backups, then doing a full (leval 0) dump once per week and a level 1 on other days would be fine. If your filesystem is much bigger than your media or your data changes a lot between backup, then you will want to implement a more complex scheme, such as a modified version of the plan in the handbook. Someone else has pointed out that level 0 gets everythingm level 1 gets everything that has changed since the last level 0, level 2 gets everything since the last level 1, etc. My suggestion is to plan your backups so that you do a level 0 at a specific interval, such as once per week - oftener if you have critical stuff changing frequently. It is nice to have media of a size that one unit will handle the whole level 0 dump, but that may not be possible. You may need to use multiple tapes/DVDs/disk for it. Then schedule higher level (1...5) dumps so that the lowest level possible just fills one unit of your media. You may even be able to use a smaller size media unit for the intervening higher level dumps (we call them change dumps).It is even possible that you can fit more than one change dump on a single unit of media. (If you are using sequential media (tape) be careful with managing your skip forwards [mt -f /dev/nsa0 1 or 2 or 3, etc] to make sure you use the no rewind device (nra0) or you may overwrite something). Another consideration when you choose change dump levels is how many levels you have to restore to completely rebuild a mangled file system, Using fewer levels - maybe just doing level 0 with only level 1's in between, makes restore the most simple, but can make for unnecessarily large level 1 dumps as the interval between level 0 dumps grows longer and more files are changed and created. If your 'change' dumps are larger than one media unit, then your problem is, of necessity, larger and more complex than the simple scheme in the handbook covers well. You will have to think it out, still using the basic concerns I mention above, eg a periodic full dump, intervened by a scheme of progressively higher level change dumps to minimize the number of media units your must use for each. Remember that just as higher level dumps can intervene for a leval 0 dump, dumps higher than 1 can intervene level 1 dumps - eg another way of saying that level 2 or higher dumps only backup files that have changed since the last level 1 dump, level 3 only backs up data that has changed since the most recent level 2 or 1 or 0 dump, whichever was most recent, etc. It is a little mind fogging to just say it. It can help to draw it out on paper with circles and arrows. But it does work. This doesn't specifically explain the towers of Hanoi scheme in the handbook and man page, but I hope it provides some background to help understand what they are trying to accomplish and that this will help clarify it. jerry Handbook reads dump(8) is the best backup program there is. So I am giving it a try - only to find out that I don't understand at all the meaning of that modified Tower of Hanoi algorithm descibed in the manual page and elsewhere. The manual page says it is an efficient method of staggering incremental dumps to minimize the number of tapes. I just don't get the picture here. So, could somebody please give an idiot-proof explanation why 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 9 9 is such a tape-number-minimizing dump level sequence (with helpful examples, if at all possible)? How does it work? Am I relatively safe doing level 0 dump every two months and increasing dump level for weekly backups like the following, given two separate harddrives storing them?

The script you found does not start MySQL. It just ensures that the
operating system can find the MySQL libraries.
The command you mention above starts MySQL; and can be added to the
Start section of the script. I've never put a period after the
ampersand; so I don't know what that will do. (I switched from MySQL
to PostgreSQL over 5 years ago.)
The reason it would be good to find the script that is installed by the
port is that it probably has a stop section for shutting down MySQL
cleanly and removing the pid file when the operating system is being
shutdown.
Good luck,

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

A level 1 everything since the last 0 a level 2, everything since the last 0 or 1 a level 3 everything since the last 0, 1 or 2 A level 4, everything since the last 0, 1, 2, or 3 etc. The idea is is to make the numbers rise and fall to minimise the number of backups needed to do a full restore. Write yourself some sequences and figure out for yourself which ones you would need for a full backup. Try to figure out for each backup whether the same files will be dumped by a later backup. They will, if a later backup number is *lower*. The algorithm your aiming to create is: Start with a level 0 and ignore everything before. from end of list, find the lowest number before you reach the starting dump. You'll need this backup. Make it the new start of list. from end of list, find the lowest number before you reach the starting dump. You'll need this backup. Make it the new start of list. etc. E.g. Given 0 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 To restore everything you need the 0, 2, 4 and 6. I.e. every second dump. You'll see that wherever you stop in that sequence, no more than 3 backups are required to recover everything. This pretty much cleared it up. Now that I read the manual page again, enlightened, it seems quite easy to follow. Nice. Using the algorithm above I get the following: SequenceDumps needed 0 3 0 3 0 3 2 0 2 0 3 2 5 0 2 5 0 3 2 5 4 0 2 4 0 3 2 5 4 7 0 2 4 7 0 3 2 5 4 7 6 0 2 4 6 0 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 0 2 4 6 9 0 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 0 2 4 6 8 0 3 2 5 4 7 6 9¹8 9²0 2 4 6 8 9² Am I doing this right? Every time a dump of level N is, eh, taken, earlier tapes of level N become obsolete and are free to go(*). In this case, that happens every other time. (*) Unless one would like to have those file versions around for a longer time, of course. clip I would also consider doing your backups daily, not weekly as your example suggests. The timing of full backups depends on how busy your machine is. Anything from weekly to quarterly. Well, I am the only active user on this computer. And I know when there is something to back up, so it will be a bit irregular in reality. If I only surf the Net all weekend long, there is nothing to worry about.

Well the only reason it might not be is that it hasn't seen widespread testing, as far as I can tell it should all just work. I do use gvinum on a 5-STABLE host and it has worked well for me in the past [1]. As it seems to me, this means that anyone using 4.11 (say) and vinum will have to abandon vinum (i.e. quit doing software RAID) in order to upgrade to 5.4. 5.4 does have alternatives to vinum (which is another reason why gvinum hasn't received as much testing): gmirror, graid3, gstripe, gconcat. That can be both laborious and slow (e.g. if you have /usr on, say, a four-drive vinum volume in 4.11, you're going to have to replace those drives with something else in order to go to 5.4. I'd say building a new test box is about the only sane way to do it. Is that false, and is there a relatively simple way to get geom_vinum in 5.4 to read a vinum configuration produced under 4.11 and start the vinum volume as it is? As far as I can tell, it should just work. To pick up the latest round of vinum fixes it might be best to run 5-STABLE (ie. RELENG_5) but it should not be necessary unless you run into difficulties.

FXP driver....
Hi, I've build a new P4 box (1.8Ghz, 512MB mem) based upon a ASUS P4B533VM motherboard. This board has an Intel 845G chipset and onboard 10/100 mbit/s LAN (fxp driver). When connected directly to a gateway (in my case an Extreme BD10k) I observe the following behaviour: a ping to the gateway starts around 1ms and slowly increases in steps of .1 or .2ms to around 10ms. Then it suddenly drops back to 1ms and the process starts all over again. I've tried a different NIC (3com, xl driver), new cabling, new switchport and all gives me the same result. My other labbox (a AMD 2000 XP+ with 3com PCI nic) connected to the same router is showing normal latency. This gives me the feeling it's some sort of timing issue on the P4's motherboard itself. Has anyone seen this before? I've searched the archives and found little on this topic. Any tips/hints where I can seach for further clues? Thanks, Arjan I haven't used the fxp driver in a while but you can check out the man page for the driver (man 4 fxp) and it mentions that you can disable autoselect for media type and speed. I remember reading in an article (I can't locate the URL) that the autonegotiation between the NIC and switch/router can be a bottleneck. That would be the easiset thing to check/eliminate.

Re: dump(8), incremental backups, Tower of Hanoi sequence, don't get it
Ilari Laitinen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Handbook reads dump(8) is the best backup program there is. So I am giving it a try - only to find out that I don't understand at all the meaning of that modified Tower of Hanoi algorithm descibed in the manual page and elsewhere. The manual page says it is an efficient method of staggering incremental dumps to minimize the number of tapes. I just don't get the picture here. So, could somebody please give an idiot-proof explanation why 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 9 9 is such a tape-number-minimizing dump level sequence (with helpful examples, if at all possible)? How does it work? I have asked myself the same question, why is the 3 2 5 4 6 5 9 8 9 9 ... considered a good algorithm for storing backups? We will get exactly the same result by storing the dumps like 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 ... I did ask this question elsewhere, and got the answer that it is likely that somebody got it slightly wrong when rewriting some ancient dump man page (of course I cannot find that man page right now).

Calculating the load average in the freebsd kernel
Hello,
I am staring at the code in kern/kern_synch.c that calculates the load
average of the system, and I cannot fully understand how the freebsd version
works. Specifically, it looks as:
/*
* Constants for averages over 1, 5, and 15 minutes
* when sampling at 5 second intervals.
*/
static fixpt_t cexp[3] = {
0.9200444146293232 * FSCALE,/* exp(-1/12) */
0.9834714538216174 * FSCALE,/* exp(-1/60) */
0.9944598480048967 * FSCALE,/* exp(-1/180) */
};
...
/*
* Compute a tenex style load average of a quantity on
* 1, 5 and 15 minute intervals.
* XXXKSE Needs complete rewrite when correct info is available.
* Completely Bogus.. only works with 1:1 (but compiles ok now :-)
*/
static void
loadav(void *arg)
{
int i, nrun;
struct loadavg *avg;
nrun = sched_load();
avg = averunnable;
for (i = 0; i 3; i++)
avg-ldavg[i] = (cexp[i] * avg-ldavg[i] +
nrun * FSCALE * (FSCALE - cexp[i])) FSHIFT;
...
And elsewhere, FSCALE is defined as 1FSHIFT, and FSHIFT is 11.
Focusing only the formula, then
avg-ldavg[i] = (cexp[i] * avg-ldavg[i] +
nrun * FSCALE * (FSCALE - cexp[i])) FSHIFT;
^^
Why do we have that extra FSCALE multiplier in the second term? If I do
some logical simplifications, this seems to get me:
(\alpha * FSCALE * ldavg[I] + nrum * FSCALE * FSCALE (1 - \alpha)) FSHIFT
I.e.
\alpha * ldavg[I] + nrun * FSCALE * (1 - \alpha)
What am I missing in this arithmetic?
Thanks,

For the past week I have been receiving messages from various mail servers which have bounced messages I have not sent but have my email address as the originator of the bounced message. I believe there are some SPAMers using my email address on their SPAM. I would really like to avoid changing my domain name. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there something I can do? Thank you Aaron What you can do to partially combat this problem is publish SPF records for your domain. That will cause spam filters on cooperating mail servers to drop email claiming to be from you that comes from anywhere but one of your mail servers. Since the messages will be dropped, they won't generate notices of non-delivery. I guess this assumes that the mail servers that generate the non-delivery notices check SPF records on inbound mail, which on reflection doesn't seem too likely, but it might help a little. If this kind of problem bothers you you can also configure your own mail server to check SPF records on inbound mail.

BTW, Vinum is not the only software RAID option under 5.x: you can use geom_concat (gconcat) or geom_stripe (gstripe) for RAID 0; geom_mirror (gmirror) for RAID 1; and geom_raid3 (graid3) for RAID 3. I successfully replaced my all-mirrored geom_vinum setup in-place on one system with a geom_mirror setup. Finally, if you are migrating from 4.x to 5.x, you might consider a binary installation with restore rather than a source upgrade.

Internet firewall
Hey guys, I'm a newbie and have got my box all set up with FreeBSD 5.4, fluxbox wm, firefox, thunderbird etc... It's all looking awesome, with transparency, and working well. I run it on dial-up ppp but haven't set up any firewall. Should I be setting one up? If so, do I use one of the bundled firewalls or can someone recommend one that would suit my purposes? This is a stand-alone box, not on a home network.

Re: Calculating the load average in the freebsd kernel
Thanks Chris.
Yes, I did see that earlier. Two things about it:
1. It is for the linux kernel.
Interestingly, the linux kernel is almost close enough to the BSD
kernel, particularly in the choice of constants and usage, although in
atypical convolutions. The main difference is in how it is an unfolded
expression, which makes it hard to follow immediately, and in the formula
itself, for which, ...
2. The linux formula though is:
67 #define CALC_LOAD(load,exp,n) \
68 load *= exp; \
69 load += n*(FIXED_1-exp); \
70 load = FSHIFT;
Which isload = ((load * exp) + n * (f_1 - exp)) FSHIFT.
Exp is really (in BSD speak) FSCALE * \alpha, f_1 is FSCALE, so this formula
boils down to (\alpha * load) + nrun * (1 - \alpha), a nice clean formula.
Thanks,
Kannan

Subject: Calculating the load average in the freebsd kernel
Hello,
I am staring at the code in kern/kern_synch.c that calculates the load
average of the system, and I cannot fully understand how the freebsd version
works. Specifically, it looks as:
/*
* Constants for averages over 1, 5, and 15 minutes
* when sampling at 5 second intervals.
*/
static fixpt_t cexp[3] = {
0.9200444146293232 * FSCALE,/* exp(-1/12) */
0.9834714538216174 * FSCALE,/* exp(-1/60) */
0.9944598480048967 * FSCALE,/* exp(-1/180) */
};
...
/*
* Compute a tenex style load average of a quantity on
* 1, 5 and 15 minute intervals.
* XXXKSE Needs complete rewrite when correct info is available.
* Completely Bogus.. only works with 1:1 (but compiles ok now :-)
*/
static void
loadav(void *arg)
{
int i, nrun;
struct loadavg *avg;
nrun = sched_load();
avg = averunnable;
for (i = 0; i 3; i++)
avg-ldavg[i] = (cexp[i] * avg-ldavg[i] +
nrun * FSCALE * (FSCALE - cexp[i])) FSHIFT;
...
And elsewhere, FSCALE is defined as 1FSHIFT, and FSHIFT is 11.
Focusing only the formula, then
avg-ldavg[i] = (cexp[i] * avg-ldavg[i] +
nrun * FSCALE * (FSCALE - cexp[i])) FSHIFT;
^^
Why do we have that extra FSCALE multiplier in the second term? If I do
some logical simplifications, this seems to get me:
(\alpha * FSCALE * ldavg[I] + nrum * FSCALE * FSCALE (1 - \alpha)) FSHIFT
I.e.
\alpha * ldavg[I] + nrun * FSCALE * (1 - \alpha)
What am I missing in this arithmetic?
Thanks,
Kannan

RE: FXP driver....
Daniel, I haven't used the fxp driver in a while but you can check out the man page for the driver (man 4 fxp) and it mentions that you can disable autoselect for media type and speed. I remember reading in an article (I can't locate the URL) that the autonegotiation between the NIC and switch/router can be a bottleneck. That would be the easiset thing to check/eliminate. Hope that helps. For both the xl and fxp driver (if not, for all?) this would be media 100basetx mediaopt full-duplex and this is standard practise for me :) It doesn't make any difference, neither on the 3com or the intel card :( Thanks, Arjan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's all looking awesome, with transparency, and working well. I run it on dial-up ppp but haven't set up any firewall. Should I be setting one up? Yes, definitely. It takes about 4-5 seconds when I connect with my dialup account from home and then incoming connections start coming from spyware, trojans and misc. other scanners :-) If so, do I use one of the bundled firewalls or can someone recommend one that would suit my purposes? This is a stand-alone box, not on a home network. The Handbook has a relatively nice chapter on firewalls. At my home workstation (that uses a dialup connection to the world) and on my laptop (that spends a lot of time connected in a corporate network), I use the PF firewall with exactly the same configuration on both machines: - Allow all outgoing connections - Allow *some* incoming connections - Block everything else The ``/etc/pf.conf'' file can be found at: http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/files/pf.conf This and the Handbook chapter about PF will give a good head start :) - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

postfix 2.1.5 sasl2 on 5.4
Hello, I'm trying to set up a new mailserver, config below, on a freebsd 5.4 box. I'm using chroot for the postfix processes and am going to introduce postfix-style virtual domains when i get sasl/tls working. Currently, i can connect, but authentication fails. I've got in my rc.conf lines starting postfix and sasl2 both installed from ports, i do not see my error, the sasl_flags is set to -a pam, i'm trying to authenticate against the system's master password file and am ensuring sasl2's state file is starting within the postfix chroot so postfix can access it. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Thanks.
