FreeBSD 6.3/7.1 and Linux disk performance test

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Hi,

I have installed a new server to test performance results. BIOS and
RAID BIOS is the latest in this server ( Raid controller is a Intel
SRCSASBB8I )

I have installed RHEL 5.3 x64 on this server and here is simple dd

And after that I have tested with FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.1:

as you can see there is a big difference in just simple dd test. Is
there additional steps that I can follow to increase performance? By
the way If I use write-thru cache on this raid card FreeBSD 6.3 and
FreeBSD 7.1 only gives 13MB/s~ which is very very bad. Linux gives a
slight decrease on dd test with write-thru cache but freebsd goes from
230-270 MB/s to only 13 MB/s

Re: insert new line in files

[Wojciech Puchar]

I want to insert a new line of text at a certain position in certain files 
recursively under a directory.  More specifically, I want text like this:


include('/usr/home/www/imp-sites/default_inventory.php');


write a script:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
(a=0
while [ $a -lt 36 ];do
 read line
 echo "$line"
 a=$[a+1]
done
echo "include('/usr/home/www/imp-sites/default_inventory.php');"
while read line;do
 echo "$line"
done) <$1 >/tmp/$$
mv -f /tmp/$$ $1


run it over each file

Whether to use \ or \\ will depend on your shell. You can avoid 
dependence on the shell by using a sed script, e.g.

curlew:/tmp% cat test.txt

curlew:/tmp% cat test.sed

10gb network interface suggestions

[Omer Faruk Sen]

Hi,

I want to ask if anyone here in this list has any experience with
10gbE on FreeBSD? My questions:

1) Which 10gbE to use? I see that intel has a good support for 10gbE
on FreeBSD with its own driver for FreeBSD:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=2992&DwnldID=14688&lang=eng

But also I am open to other brands. Especially If anyone has
experience on that this matter would be very very helpful. I have seen
that Sun has quad 10gbE adapters:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/10gigethernet/index.xml
 I am not sure if FreeBSD supports that?

2) Do you suggest fiber or copper?

3) Which bus option to use ? As far as I see intel has both (Pci
Express and PCI-X not sure if their PCI Express cards are PCI Express
2.0 for pcie2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express shows
significant performance boost)
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/server_adapters.htm?iid=nc+server#s1=10%20Gigabit%20Ethernet&s2=all&s3=all

4) Especially since I am new to 10gbE I also request if someone can
suggest me 10gbE switch. There are lots switches but not sure. One of
my colleague told me that enterasys is good ad 10gbE but not sure.

edit users quota in a script

[Nicolas Letellier]

Hello.

I use a script to create automatically my users (with pw, and mkdir, etc...). I 
use quota, and I have to excute 'edquota -u user', and enter quota 
informations. So, the process can not be automaticated. And cannot be part of 
my script.

I don't find informations in edquota(8) manpages about editing user quota 
without open a file.

Is an other solution exists? I'm looking for a solution in command line (for my 
script).

Regards,

The edquota(8) command accepts a '-e' option that allows it to set 
quotas non-interactively. Try man edquota again.

Re: FreeBSD 6.3/7.1 and Linux disk performance test

Hi Omer--

Comparing I/O and file system performance is a bit fraught with peril, 
especially given that the performance of disks varies a great deal based on 
where on the disk you're writing, etc.  Ellard and Seltzer have a nice NFS 
benchmarking paper that includes a "Benchmarking traps" section of note in 
this regard:


  http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~margo/papers/freenix03/

The source of the performance difference you're seeing could come from a 
number of places:


- I/O to different parts of the disk due to partition layouts can perform
  quite differently -- try out diskinfo -t to get an idea of the kind of
  variance you can see.  For example, I get this on my local 3ware array:

  Transfer rates:
outside:   102400 kbytes in   4.056540 sec =25243 kbytes/sec
middle:102400 kbytes in   2.531003 sec =40458 kbytes/sec
inside:102400 kbytes in   3.947725 sec =25939 kbytes/sec

  That's a massive performance difference and presumably entirely a result of
  disk layout.  The best way to address this is to make sure you're using the
  same part of the disk for all tests -- so if you're installing different
  OS's on different partitions, use a single shared partition for the test.

- File system can behave quite differently, especially if they vary in size
  and layout strategies.  Do the dd(1) directly to a disk partition, making
  sure to use the right device on Linux (I believe you want the character
  device in order to bypass the buffer cache and compare apples to apples).

So if you go ahead and do dd(1) directly to the same partition using 
unbuffered I/O and no file system, it should become more obvious as to whether 
we're looking at performance loss due to a device driver difference, a file 
system difference, or perhaps just a disk layout difference.

I would avoid this method because it is extremely inefficient, 
especially with large files.
 Shell is very slow for loops like that because it is purely 
interpretive.  If you wrote the same thing in Perl it would run way 
faster just because it does a compile on load.  (Besides, you still have 
to show the 'find' invocation to run it recursively, as requested.)  
Steve's sed solution is probably not bad as well.

Snag in installing KDE4; need libgs but where is it

[af300wsm]

Hi,

I decided last night to try and install KDE4. I left it compiling to go to  
bed. When I got up, I saw that it had his this snag:


checking for vasprintf... yes
checking for gsapi_new_instance in -lgs... no
configure: error: You need libgs in order to compile libspectre


I can't find a port that installs libgs. At least, I did these two things:

make search name=libgs
make search name=ghostscript

The first returns only references to libgsf which I had installed. I  
upgraded the port anyway, but this didn't fix the problem. The second  
returns things that don't seem to be what I want. What port will install  
this library?



Thanks,
Andy

I did `make search name="libspectre"' which is where your build failed.  I see 
afew dependencies on ghostscript and gsfonts.  Either try building libspectre 
directly (/usr/ports/print/libspectre) or the ghostscript/gsfonts dependencies 
directly.

#2 DNS Auto in KPPP in FreeBSD 7.1

[Dmitry]

Hi to All! Sorry for my bad English. My problem: I am have 3G/EDGE modem ZTE 
MF622+ and FreeBSD 7.1. In using KPPP (KDE 3.5.10) my modem can't connect to 
EDGE provider, because in KPPP not enabled option Auto DNS setting. If manually 
set this option, that says tech support of provider, pppd print, that not 
connect and not determinate IP adress. Why I can enable this option? In Linux 
this option is enabled and all working fine. Thank you!

Strange and weird, probably simple, aim DL

[Akenner]

Hi list,

I was doing some searching on the FreeBSD FTP server where the ports are 
installed, and I noticed AIM was available. I use AIM and so I did this:


pkg_add -r aim

It downloaded the package, finished up, and it was done.

Here is the thing; I can't run it. When I type aim from a terminal, or 
basic Xterm, it says it can't be found. If I try running it from a "run" 
dialog it won't run from there either.


am I doing something incredibly stupid? I know it downloaded the package 
and installed it, so it should work fine. I downloaded it on another 
machine just to test if it worked on there, both running FreeBSD 
7.1-RELEASE, and again, it just doesn't run. It's odd really. And if I 
load up a bash, to do command completion like this:


bash [Enter}
a[TAB][TAB] (Display all?) [y]
It doesn't show aim there either. I know that last part is a little bit 
dumb, but I figured it would at least let me check if it was there.


any ideas? Anyone using AIM that got it to work?

Thanks much,

-Allen

Re: 10gb network interface suggestions

[Wojciech Puchar]

But also I am open to other brands. Especially If anyone has
experience on that this matter would be very very helpful. I have seen
that Sun has quad 10gbE adapters:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/10gigethernet/index.xml
I am not sure if FreeBSD supports that?


could you please explain ANY CASE when 4*10GbE/s could be utilized.

it's 5 GIGABYTES/s each direction. computer memory subsystem is rarely 
faster




2) Do you suggest fiber or copper?


depend of what you connect to.


3) Which bus option to use ? As far as I see intel has both (Pci
Express and PCI-X not sure if their PCI Express cards are PCI Express
2.0 for pcie2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express shows
significant performance boost)


anything slower than PCIe 4-lane is slower than single 10GbE port.

PCI-X is AFAIK 500MB/s so you won't get much

I did `make search name="libspectre"' which is where your build failed. I  
see afew dependencies on ghostscript and gsfonts. Either try building  
libspectre directly (/usr/ports/print/libspectre) or the  
ghostscript/gsfonts dependencies directly.






A port upgrade to ghostscript seemed to correct that problem.

KDE4 build fails for language issues

[af300wsm]

Hi,

Ok, the next thing in the saga of getting KDE4 installed, I hit this when  
compiling KDE4:

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/kdemultimedia4/work/kdemultimedia-4.1.1/build.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this one?

Ok, here is a realtek. That can sometimes make problems.
Can you change this network interface card?



Yes I could, however I have the same problem on the gateway over the wireless 
card.  The wireless card is connecting the gateway to the ISP (i.e. 
gateway->wireless->ISP) with the ethernet to the intranet.  I haven't had any 
problems with pinging the gateway from my laptop.  

Can you see problems of your wireless card in /var/log/messages?

Have you updated your ports tree?  If not, try that.  If it still fails, I 
would submit a PR.

You seem to have built only parts of the source tree, i.e. because you
completed a buildworld cycle when WITHOUT_RESCUE was defined.

Try repeating the buildworld and installworld steps with exactly the
*same* options in their environment.

Re: make installworld fails

[Valentin Bud]

Hello,

This are the parts from /etc/make.conf regarding system build options:
# --- system build options
WITHOUT_IPFILTER=yes
WITHOUT_IPX=yes
WITHOUT_LPR=yes
WITHOUT_RCMDS=yes
WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=yes

I didn't give any arguments to
# make buildworld or
# make installworld

I have ran them as i've typed them above.

Is there something wrong in /etc/make.conf ?

thanks,
v

These options don't seem to affect the build of `/usr/src/rescue'.  Can
you try running the build commands once more in that directory?

# cd /usr/src/rescue
# make cleandir ; make cleandir
# make obj depend all

Then it should be possible to install the newly built /rescue binaries,
and your installworld should complete fine.

Have you updated your ports tree? If not, try that. If it still fails, I  

would submit a PR.





In fact, a portupgrade to the taglib port fixed the issue. Thanks,

Re: edit users quota in a script

[Stephen Corbesero]

Besides the -e switch to edquota as has already been mentioned, I used
to make extensive use of the -p switch to use a prototype.  

For example, you could create a "fake" user (or group) named
"q-typical", assign that user the quotas for a typical user, and then
use

 edquota -p q-typical newuser

to assign those quotas to the new user.  You could maintain several
prototypes for different classes of users or groups.

I've got a laptop which has a NIC which uses the RTL8201L PHY:

re0:  port 0x2000-0x20ff
mem 0xd10 1-0xd1010fff,0xd100-0xd100 irq 19 at device 0.0

It's now running 8-CURRENT but it used to run 7.1.

No, that's ok.  You somehow managed to botch 'buildworld'.  Now that the
missing bits are in /usr/obj all is fine.

If you start with a *clean* /usr/obj tree and the problem reappears,
then please let us know :)

How to compile a network driver given source code

[Amer Alhabsi]

Hi,

I have Benq Joybook R43 notebook. It has network interface based on SiS 191.
However, I can't configure it as it does not show up in ifconfig nor in
sysinstall/configure/networking/interfaces. Dmesg says: No Driver Attached.

After some search I found that someone has written a driver but it
hasn't been put int the official FreeBSD release. I want to try my
luck with the driver. My question is where to place the source code
files? and how to compile it (I assume it can be part of a kernel
rebuild if placed in the right directory)

The source code for the driver consists of the 3 files: if_sis19x.c,
if_sis19xreg.h and Makefile.

Thanks,

Amer,

Edit the Makefile to match the standard installation directories that
FreeBSD uses (/usr/local), and use `make'.  Depending on what the
drivers needs are, you may have to edit more.

Basically it does the same thing. I used the pkg_add as I said, and once 
I finished, I did the rehash thing, and then logging in and out doesn't 
seem to change it. Is there a chance the package itself is messy?


I was told to try whereis and did so, and it said /usr/ports/net-im/aim 
and when I typed the direct path, it said permission denied, so I tried 
su to root, and ran it again, and it said the same thing...Which is a

You were told the wrong command.  Try `which aim'.  Also, try
executing with the full path: /usr/local/bin/aim

Is your ports tree up to date?  man portsnap

Playing audio CDs

[Akenner]

I've been searching on the net for like an hour trying to see how to 
play a CD on FreeBSD, and normally I'd have just tried mounting it, 
being from the Linux world, but when I first checked to be sure of the 
proper way, I found mostly info saying not to mount it at all.


So now I'm not sure what is the right way to do it. On two machines each 
having between 1 - 3 drives to play CDs from, I've tried just loading a 
CD player app and hitting play, but it doesn't find the CD, and on one 
machine there is only one drive so it can't be the wrong one.


None of the pages I found said it was OK to mount it, and so I'm a 
little confused how you play CDs, and I've used cdplay as root to make 
sure I had access since the one app said I couldn't access the CD drive, 
and nothing has happened.


How is the normal way of playing a regular audio CD in FreeBSD?

Thanks

Re: Playing audio CDs

I found in the handbook that I could try this:

/sbin/mount /cdrom

I then saw this:

/dev/cd0: device not configured.

Apparently typing /sbin first made it give me a different error message, 
I'm just trying to find hwo to configure a drive now. would 
/stand/sysinstall work for this?

Basically it does the same thing. I used the pkg_add as I said, and 
once I finished, I did the rehash thing, and then logging in and out 
doesn't seem to change it. Is there a chance the package itself is messy?


I was told to try whereis and did so, and it said 
/usr/ports/net-im/aim and when I typed the direct path, it said 
permission denied, so I tried su to root, and ran it again, and it 
said the same thing...Which is a little strange being root.
 

If it says something like this:

> whereis aim
aim: /usr/ports/net-im/aim

aim is not installed.  an installed pkg will look something like this:

> whereis pidgin
pidgin: /usr/local/bin/pidgin /usr/local/man/man1/pidgin.1.gz 
/usr/ports/net-im/pidgin

Even root is not allowed to execute a directory. :)

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the package, though I didn't install it.
Possibly you already know that this is a linux program. Therefore you
need to have linux_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf.

Your first problem, though, is that the package installs a wrapper
script as /compat/linux/bin/aim that I believe is supposed to be
/usr/local/bin/aim instead. So of course it is not in your search
path. Verify that the script is there, and, if it is, try copying it to
the correct location.

It's possible.

  

I was told to try whereis and did so, and it said /usr/ports/net-im/aim and
when I typed the direct path, it said permission denied, so I tried su to
root, and ran it again, and it said the same thing...Which is a little

You were told the wrong command.  Try `which aim'.  Also, try
executing with the full path: /usr/local/bin/aim

Is your ports tree up to date?  man portsnap


  

man whereis :-)

Re: having trouble with OpenOffice

Hi,

Tonight I finally took the bull by the horns and got OpenOffice

answer to yet but seems to be related to the X server (from searches on 
the net). So, I do this:

As you can tell, OpenOffice failed because my OS doesn't support locale 
"en_US." Huh!?! I'm using the English version. In fact, the only way to 
consider me as being bilingual is something of a matter of mental 
gymnastics because English is spoken in England and to me, England is a 
foreign country. Thus, I'm bilingual, or at the least, I speak a foreign 
language.


Never the less, how would this be fixed?

Hi,

I want to ask if anyone here in this list has any experience with

1) Which 10gbE to use? I see that intel has a good support for 10gbE
on FreeBSD with its own driver for FreeBSD:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=2992&DwnldID=14688&lang=eng

But also I am open to other brands. Especially If anyone has
experience on that this matter would be very very helpful. I have seen
that Sun has quad 10gbE adapters:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/10gigethernet/index.xml
 I am not sure if FreeBSD supports that?

2) Do you suggest fiber or copper?

3) Which bus option to use ? As far as I see intel has both (Pci
Express and PCI-X not sure if their PCI Express cards are PCI Express
2.0 for pcie2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express shows
significant performance boost)
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/server_adapters.htm?iid=nc+server#s1=10%20Gigabit%20Ethernet&s2=all&s3=all

4) Especially since I am new to 10gbE I also request if someone can
suggest me 10gbE switch. There are lots switches but not sure. One of
my colleague told me that enterasys is good ad 10gbE but not sure.

Regards.


This was useful to find something to be used at work -- the fact that 
every device has a speed in terms of MHz, and a bandwidth, in terms of 
Mbit to use.  You can buy a 10gbE device, but if the bus does NOT 
support 10gbE, buying the device is pretty pointless  you'll never 
reach 10gbE

What should it be good for mounting an audio CD? It doesn't have
an ISO-9660 file system on it.

In order to play an audio CD, you can utilize the cdcontrol command
included in the base system:

% cdcontrol play

Refer to "man cdcontrol" for further options and eventually how to
specify the CD device (if needed).

What does

% cdcontrol info

say about the media you're trying to play?

Permissions of the device file?

% ll /dev/acd0
crw-rw-r--  1 root  operator0, 105 Feb  7 22:32 /dev/acd0
 ^  ^  ^
These are important!



> How is the normal way of playing a regular audio CD in FreeBSD?

As I mentioned, cdcontrol is a very easy way to do this. Of course, there
are GUI tools that can be handy, e. g. xcd or whatever comes with KDE or
Gnome (if you use this).

Keep in mind that, according to FreeBSD's permission concept, you need
the +r permission on the device file (see /etc/devfs.conf, /etc/devfs.rules).
If you have more than one drive, you can set variables like CDROM to get
rid of things like -f /dev/acd[012].

This refers to the fact that the device does not contain an ISO-9660
formatted media.

No.

The "device is configured" via the /etc/fstab file that controls how to
mount the disc, e. g.

# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options Dump
Pass#
# ---   -   --  -   -   
-
/dev/acd0   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto   0   0

This will "expand" your command

% mount /cdrom

to something like

% mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /cdrom

Also, keep in mind the permissions: You need +r for the device, and you
have to be the owner of the mount target directory. Furthermore, users
must be allowed to mount media which is controlled by the setting

vfs.usermount=1

that is to be put into /etc/sysctl.conf.



But as I mentioned before, you cannot mount an audio CD; imagine that
it's "technically" impossible. :-)

(Of course, this says nothing about that you cannot copy audio tracks,
convert them into OGG/Vorbis or duplicate discs 1:1, which is ALL
possible.)



A final note: I see you're using /dev/cd0 for your CD drive. What about
using acd0 instead (if it's an ATAPI drive)? You can specify /dev/cd0
as $CDROM if you've got a SCSI device, but then, due to permissions,
I think you need to set proper access rules for the xpt device, too.

1) have you read and followed the steps in /usr/ports/UPDATING?
Including the one for libxcb?
2) if you have, this:

>  Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0".

should be harmless. It reports a pieve of functionality which
does not exist in the server but does in one of the loaded modules
(where it should have been masked).

Remove WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN when building but when you do the install you can
readd it I m not sure how you would do it using the make release though.

pppd(8) has not had any serious work done on it for over two years, see
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/main.c
There was some talk in -net of dropping support for it altogether.

The KPPP authors have so far declined to consider adding support for 
FreeBSD's ppp(8), due perhaps to their primarily Linux orientation.

I suggest instead using either ppp(8) - which is extensively supported 
by the FreeBSD Handbook and in the mailing lists - or the net/mpd5 port, 
which uses in-kernel netgraph modules.  Both support fetching upstream 
DNS addresses.  I happily used ppp(8) for 10 years, but now prefer mpd.

cheers, Ian
