getting cpu statistics - munin
Hi, I've just installed DFly on my server. So far so good. I'm trying to get cpu usage statistics with munin. A plugin in included for FreeBSD which queries kern.cp_time via sysctl. But on DFlyBSD I get: sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.cp_time'. What is the best way of doing this? Thanks in advance. -- CSILLAG Tamas - http://digitus.itk.ppke.hu/~cstamas

What cable modem did you use? Thanks Bryan I've used Motorola on three different providers and Terrayon on two, prefer the Motorola. All these are mass-produced to a price target and have components that deal with analog and are exposed to rude spikes and such during their lifetime. You CAN get a bad one - right out-of-the box, and the DO suffer damage and failure in use. My response has been to rent, not buy, as a replacement seems to be needed every 12-24 months where there are regular thunderstorms. Caveat: Use some other mx for your e-mail, not comcast. Our MX'en blacklist all of comcast, as they do nothing useful to block outbound to port 25, and are *infested* with Win-Zombies. Bill

Joerg Vladimir's example was a bit easier. That way I do not have to dig down and use C. Just a userspace app. But good to know this API if I need sometime... Thanks anyways.

Well it is not the *same* but good enough. kern.cp_time is an always incrementing number and should be stored as DERIVE in rrdtool iostat gives percentage as a result, so this sophisticated algorithm is not needed. It can be stored as GAUGE. Thanks that's the thing I was looking for! -- CSILLAG Tamas http://digitus.itk.ppke.hu

Has any one used it and is it worth it? 2. What cable modem did you use? I've been using it for ~3 years now. I've had two major issues during that time: 1. At one point, a crew was doing some work in my neighborhood (back when I was in Pittsburgh) and attached a filter to the wrong line (mine). 2. This February, a storm blew through the island (I'm now near Seattle) and took power out for five days. (Comcast, to their credit, brought in generators to power their neighborhood relays after two days... alas, didn't help me much.) These incidents aside, availability for me has been closer to 99.9% than 99%. Their policies seem reasonable. They'll get on your case if you start serving a lot of traffic, from what I understand. Many of us at work run personal servers (ssh, webmail, etc.) and haven't heard a peep from them. Stay out of their hair, they'll stay out of yours. I thought they were blocking outbound SMTP connections, but this does not appear to be the case right now. At any rate, don't expect to have your mail accepted by anyone if you bypass their SMTP servers (the entire netblock is RBLed, and with good reason). I haven't touched Usenet in years, so I can't comment on their news servers. My experience with DSL was less than pleasant. Verizon had the oddest routes, and probably borderline 99% availability. North Pittsburgh Telephone (sigh) was down around 95%. Getting a reliable connection anywhere was an adventure. So as long as you get a ethernet cable modem there should be no problem connecting? Is there any thing special in configuring it to work with dragonfly or is it just dhcp?
Re: Network Slowdowns?
:Hello Matt. Have you made any progress on this? and if not, is there anything :I can do to help? : :-Richard Ok, no symbols, PF is a dynamically loaded module. Could you upload your /modules/pf.ko as well? (assuming it hasn't changed). -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sk driver problems
I am gettting watchdog timeouts on the sk driver. Is there any way to investigate the reason for this?
Re: Network Slowdowns?
:Done. It's funny that I thought of uploading the asf file but not the :modules... :P : :-Richard Ok. Very odd. It seems to crashing in pf_change_a(), called from line 3854 of net/pf/pf.c. It shouldn't be possible for it to crash there. Do me a favor and try turning off MMX optimized memory copies by placing the following in your /boot/loader.conf: kern.mmxopt=0 Tell me if that fixes the problem. It shouldn't actually be doing an optimized mmx copy for a 4-byte sequence, but perhaps there is a bug in the assembly code that is handling small copies. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sk driver problems
: :I am gettting watchdog timeouts on the sk driver. Is there any way to :investigate the reason for this? Are they just occassional timeouts or is the driver not working? I don't know what the state of the SK driver is. I do know that on the NFE driver I'm using on pkgbox the interrupt occassionally stops working. I have to leave emergency interrupt polling turned on (at 10hz) to get it to recover, and then its interrupts work normally again (at their full interrupt rate) until the next time the hardware farts. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]

update of sound infrastructure
hey, I tried updating our sound infrastructure to freebsd-6's one and I included the new HDA driver as well. Please test it, available at http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/unsorted/sound-update.diff (cd /sys; patch -p0 sound-update.diff). It would be nice if we could get it in for the next release. caveats: 1. modules don't load dependencies: you have to kldload sound.ko manually 2. xmms acts weird (plays fine, but the UI laggs 5-10 seconds) please try an report back if it works or not. note: you don't have to run buildworld, buildkernel is sufficient. actually rebuilding dev/sound modules is sufficient. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ASCII Ribbon /\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If it requires something special (like PPTP, which I've only heard of with DSL), get online to here and people can help you get it set up.
silo overflows -- what can I do about this?
Okay, so I was working via the console port (i.e. DFly box connected to Firewall via serial port) of my PIX firewall and I kept getting these errors. These errors made it quite impossible to configure the firewall because I was unable to recieve the output from the PIX device. Error Messages (/var/log/messages): Oct 17 17:40:04 dfly kernel: sio1: 2 more silo overflows (total 23) Oct 17 17:40:06 dfly kernel: sio1: 4 more silo overflows (total 27) Oct 17 17:41:22 dfly kernel: sio1: 7 more silo overflows (total 34) Oct 17 17:41:24 dfly kernel: sio1: 9 more silo overflows (total 43) Oct 17 17:41:25 dfly kernel: sio1: 4 more silo overflows (total 47) Oct 17 17:41:38 dfly kernel: sio1: 2 more silo overflows (total 49) Oct 17 17:49:36 dfly kernel: sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 50) Oct 17 17:49:53 dfly kernel: sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 51) Oct 17 17:49:57 dfly kernel: sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 52) Oct 17 17:50:02 dfly kernel: sio1: 1 more silo overflow (total 53) Is there anything I can do about these errors?
