I am unsure if this was patched already - if so please let me know.


These aren't real LORs, they are a side effect of a panic.  Adding these is
just going to add clutter I think.


I marked it result of panic. The problem was that in the past we had
some of those, where people hit the same problem and all reported the
LOR and then you really want to have it in the list...

The truth about SigEx Ventures and the SigEx Foundry

2007-02-14 Thread The Foundry

  First of all, I'd like to appologise for the noise and for
cross-posting. This is my first and last e-mail on this list.
  As you may have noticed from the subject of the e-mail, I'm about
to speak about the SigEx Ventures company, an organisation that
appoints itself as the liaison between strategic investors and young
tallented people in ITC. It originates in the US but currently
operates in Europe. Specifically in Pau, France.
  On their website (www.sigex.com, now www.thefoundryschool.tv) they
speak fluent Corporatese. I must admit, I'm not a native English
speaker, but even so my ear is trained well enough for me to be able
to tell spam from ham. They present some glossy products, that nobody
ever actually saw working. They're all vaporware.
  On the same website they speak about fantastic opportunities
offered to young talented fellows in the ITC field, in the shape of
internship at their fantastic research centre in Pau. Unfortunately,
it's all in the demo because the real deal is nothing like it. There's
no such thing as opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies or
leading researchers in the branch. It's all smoke and mirrors.
  As a former intern there, I feel that the truth should be made
available, as neither of their statements really hold true. My best
bet is that they attract investors and suck up their cash without ever
producing anything.

  I'm gathering all sorts of information, starting with my own
experience, on http://sigexfoundry.blogspot.com. Feel free to read
more there.

  Why am I doing this? There is a term for my action, called
whistleblowing. I'd like to underline the fact that I'm by no means
affected by SigEx's past or current actions, I went there as an intern
for merely satisfying my own curiosity about them. But I know that
many of the subscribers of this list are scholars, professors, people
with strong positions in the branch, most of which can easily pass as
models for younger enthusiasts. They're the ones I'd like this mail to
reach. It'd be a real pity if more people suffered from SigEx's
dubious practices.

   Once again, here is the link to the blog: http://sigexfoundry.blogspot.com
   And, once again, sorry for the noise.

 I can believe that.  I wonder how I should put the issue to Dell so that

 appears to be a custom version, at least the card probes as Dell part
 not an LSIlogic part.
 

I spoke to Dell, but they don't have a newer firmware yet.  I've
reported the issue, and I guess that I'll have to see whether they
fix it at some point.

I the mean time I've nailed the tags in rc.local, so that they get fixed

 Hi,
 
 
 While upgrading a fileserver / home wireless access point to

 I attached a keyboard and monitor to the server and noticed it was
 panicking on boot, current process being sysctl:

 The last line seen before the panic is sysctl adjusting values
 (according to sysctl.conf):
 
 # tail /etc/sysctl.conf
 
 dev.ath.0.tpscale=1
 dev.ath.0.diversity=0
 
 
 Now, there are two interesting things to note:
 
 a) If I uncomment these lines with the system running and reload
 (/etc/rc.d/sysctl reload), there's no panic.
 
 b) It used to work just fine on 6.0-RELEASE-p5.
 
 
 It is not a big deal, but just something that perhaps should be fixed.
 
 For the records, I tried -RELEASE and -STABLE. Currently running -STABLE
 (as of 2007-02-12 @ about 2AM GMT)

I think I see the issue; not sure how it worked in previous versions.
Thanks for the report.

Do you have access to the network switch that your server connects to?  The 
stats on the port may show CRC errors or the log may show carrier off/on 
transitions indicating that 'Auto-negotiation' isn't stable.  I've seen this a 
lot with 100FDx connections and a few times with GbE.  Sometimes it helps to 
change the port speed/duplex settings from 'Auto' to fixed whatever [or vice 
versa ;].My preference has been to use 'Auto' if it works, and, if it 
doesn't, to nail down the server settings, then see whether nailing the switch 
port setting or leaving the switch port in 'Auto' is best.

[HEADSUP] New unionfs merged to RELENG_6 (stable)

2007-02-14 Thread Craig Rodrigues
Hi,

I have merged the new unionfs implementation from
CURRENT to RELENG_6 (stable branch).  This code
was submitted by Daichi GOTO and Masanori OZAWA.
Many, many thanks to GOTO-san and OZAWA-san for their work.

This code solves a lot of crashing problems that the old
unionfs implementation had.

Reports from people running SMP systems would be appreciated.
There probably is some room for performance optimization on SMP systems.

Also, thanks a lot to Kostik Belousov, who recently fixed some deadlock
problems in vfs_lookup.c, which helps a lot with unionfs.

Hi All,

I've just noticed when this incident happens Ierrs starting to increase and
then interface in not pingable. Refer to output below.

Also how do I set the interface in rc.conf to use 1000baseTX. Without using
to autoselect?

Hi Glen,

I did that already and it works for few days and dropping out. now I have
change network cards to Intel (em). Hopefully this will solve the issue.

Cheers,

Hi All,

I am having intermittent network issues with our IBM X236 dual xeon server.
Server comes with two bge network cards. At random intervals internal lan
drops out. And then few minutes later it comes back online.


So far I can only find some interface errors on netstat -i. Can anyone help
me to resolve this issue.

Please refer to attached files and below outputs for more information.

Do you have access to the network switch that your server connects to?  The
stats on the port may show CRC errors or the log may show carrier off/on
transitions indicating that 'Auto-negotiation' isn't stable.  I've seen this
a lot with 100FDx connections and a few times with GbE.  Sometimes it helps
to change the port speed/duplex settings from 'Auto' to fixed whatever [or
vice versa ;].My preference has been to use 'Auto' if it works, and, if
it doesn't, to nail down the server settings, then see whether nailing the
switch port setting or leaving the switch port in 'Auto' is best.

You can do the following:

ifconfig_bge0=inet xxx netmask yyy media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig_bge1=inet xxx netmask yyy media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

See the bge(4) manpage for additional details.

Also, which particular Broadcom chip are you using?  dmesg(8) should
show this, or pciconf -l -v.
