Re: LAN failover redundandcy?
Ewald Jenisch skrev: Hi, I'm looking for a way to configure failover redundancy for one of my servers. To be specific: The server in question has one IP-address but two LAN interfaces each of them connecting to a different switch. Traffic normally runs only through one of the two interfaces; the other is for redundandy only. In case the active LAN-interface goes down (e.g. because of a link and/or switch failure) the second LAN-interface should take over in the sense that traffic should run through the second interface (again the server has only one IP-address, so binding a different IP-address to the interface is not an option here) Is there any way how this can be configured under FreeBSD 6.2?

Looks like the open/net bsd guys have the rtw for the realtec 8185 wireless card, which is not supported by ral or ural - I presume it's not that hard to port to freebsd.

Yes, UFS leaves some free space in each cylinder group if it can so that it can grow (especially small) files locally; big files will get spread across cylinder groups as a result. but i would like to clear things up: i will set up say 3 disks with gconcat and make one partition for all data on it. then i will populate it with all things and use it. will the data be quite spread on disks, so accesses to different things could be done in parallel to 3 disks, or will it rather use space on one disk first, then on second then on third. i'm asking about it as i prefer gconcat over gstripe as i can add more disks to gconcat and do growfs then making system EASILY expandable. Using a stripe is going to give reliably-balanced I/O load to the underlying physical disks. If the concat is mostly empty, then no, I/O won't be evenly balanced. If you mostly fill it up and are doing multithreaded I/O to lots of files scattered all around, than concat should be OK. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the other hand, C standard allows for the programs to use any symbol not reserved by standard. The thread libraries (and libc) shall internally use the right implementation of syscalls, as opposed to some symbol supplied by user binary. To achieve this, for each syscall x, libc defines the normal symbol __sys_x, and two weak symbols _x and x. See, for instance, the file lib/libc/select.S from the obj directory, and lib/libc/i386/SYS.h for corresponding include file. Definition of weak symbols is provided by ELF specification. Simplyfing, weakness of the symbol mean that it is used only unless somebody provides the same normal symbol. Normal symbols from text segment are marked by T in nm output, and weak symbols has t mark. pgp6Dcyp1BXUr.pgp Description: PGP signature

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? 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.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

If I remember correctly, the most common reason for this is files that have been deleted, but have not had all references to them closed (i.e. file descriptors). For example, program creates a temporary file, then deletes it but does not _close_ it. This means the filesystem can't free up the used blocks yet. There's no directory entry, so du doesn't see the usage. One way to tell would be to reboot the system. If it comes up with du and df agreeing, then this problem is occurring somewhere. The trickier step may be to figure out what program is causing it. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ah. Some motherboards support USB but need to have the OS support them, hence the reason that things would work after bootup and initialization is complete. Other systems have built-in handler code in the BIOS so that you can use USB-based toys for things like booting from USB thumbdrives or USB keyboards to configure BIOS settings. If your system is the former, it would explain why you see things working after the OS takes over (much like some hard disks not being seen correctly until Linux bypasses BIOS code) and you may need an update to the BIOS. If the latter, then I don't know why your system isn't seeing USB toys until after the OS drivers take over. -Bart ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD vs mysql50-server
It should be in /var/db/mysql/my.cnf.

When I change the value for max_allowed_packet and set it to 100M, or 500M, or 1G, or 1000M, or 8589934592 (bits), it does not appear to be changing the value in MySQL. I only have one configuration file located in /etc/mysql/my.cnf which is where I am setting the max_allowed_packet value. After altering this value, I restart MySQL (or even the entire server) and then log into mysql and do a show variables; command. The max_allowed_packet variable is ALWAYS set to 1048576 (1M), and has not changed no matter what I try. Is the my.cnf file in the right location (/etc/mysql/)??? How can I check where MySQL is reading the configuration from if there is a possibility it is not coming from this location??? Not sure if this additional information is of any use, in the rc.conf file I have changed the database directory by using mysql_dbdir=/db/mysql. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: parformance patch?
-#define MAXPHYS(128 * 1024)/* max raw I/O transfer size */ +#define MAXPHYS(512 * 1024)/* max raw I/O transfer size */ both works for me and gives noticable speedup, when operating on big files and when starting big apps or swapping. There are assumptions about the value of MAXPHYS all through the kernel. I doubt this patch works properly - it is something that should be fixed more completely though. funny but THIS patch (MAXPHYS, not other) is working for me on 4 heavily loaded servers for over a year with FreeBSD 6.2 while vm patch is running on my notebook for 2 days only, ok for now but still testing. other question (swap_pager.c): /* * SWB_NPAGES must be a power of 2. It may be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 * pages per allocation. We recommend you stick with the default of 8. * The 16-page limit is due to the radix code (kern/subr_blist.c). */ #ifndef MAX_PAGEOUT_CLUSTER #define MAX_PAGEOUT_CLUSTER 16 #endif can this be changed/fixed? 64-128 would be nicer... Why? i.e. what are the implications of this, good and bad? 16*4=64kbytes for modern disk drives 64 kbytes is transferred below 1 milisecond, while seek takes 8-10ms by average. doing so small I/O is inefficient. something like 512kB (128 pages) looks better. patched vm_fault make pageins faster, but not pageout. disks often does write caching clustering pageouts anyway, but probably not that efficient. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sorry if my question is a bit confusing - I'm not even sure the proper terminology, so I don't know what the best way to start looking is. I'm rebuilding a system at home, and I'd like to check how the build is going at a slow time at work sometimes. I can connect to the system from work (ssh into my main box, and then from there, ssh to the system I'm working on). I have a terminal opened on that system (actually, another ssh session fron the main box), and I'd like to have my new connection attach to that terminal session, if possible, so that I can just pick up where I left off, and monitor it from here. Is this possible? Sessions main desktop terminal A [ssh]-- workstation terminal A (where builds are currently being processed) work desktop terminal [ssh]-- main destop terminal B [ssh]-- workstation terminal B I would like to have workstation terminal B intercept workstation terminal A, or main desktop terminal B intercept main desktop terminal A. Can it be done? Where do I start looking, what are the words and phrases of interest? I tried looking at both the bash and xterm commands/man page, but they are rather long, and I'd miss what I was looking for without having a clue in advance. I'm guessing something like /dev/?tty?? might work, but how do I figure out which tty to use? Thank you, -Jim Stapleton --/QUOTE Can't the OP, Jim, use watch(8) with the -W option to interact w/ the terminal? Nothing wrong with screen, but a built-in utility exists. It`s possible, but he`d better use screen for updating/upgrading, since his ssh session that initiated the process may die and then the process dies. With screen the process will continue if his ssh session dies and he would be able to later reattach to the terminal in question. Yes, very true.

-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nikos Vassiliadis I'm not sure I prefer the alternative, something like Ubuntu or PCLinux, where you just shut your eyes, lie back and think of South Africa, not knowing quite what's getting installed on your PC. That's not a very nice comment to do. Please, keep your feelings about continents/countries/Linux distributions out of here. I really detest the politically correct, particularly the uneducated politically correct. lie back and think of England - From _Dictionary of Catchphrases_ (1995) by Nigel Rees: close your eyes and think of England: traditional advice given to women when confronted with the inevitability of sexual intercourse, or jocular encouragement to either sex about doing anything unpalatable. South Africa is a tourism spot and boasts a number of popular game preserves, it is -the- most advanced and developed country in Africa. As a German it is understandable that he would have vacationed there, he made a rather clever twist on the standard phrase.
