In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You want to deny physical connectivity to the LAN, from a particular host, period. You might try setting up a quasi-switch with bridge (kernel option see LINT), plug a whole bunch of network cards in, and downing the interfaces when they don't pay... It would be a

SCSI to IDE device bridges

2004-01-07 Thread Derek Marcotte
Hello, I've checked the H/W compatibiltity list for 4.9 for any SCSI to IDE bridges (IDE drive to SCSI bus), and I don't see any mention of these type of devices. I would think that they would be supported though, because they should just appear as HDDs. I plan on at least to try one out,

Poor SCSI disk preformance

2004-01-06 Thread Derek Marcotte
Hi Everyone, I'm having difficulty getting my SCSI hard disks to preform well. I don't know what tools are available to help me diagnose this issue, or if there are specific tweaks that I need to make. Attached is the output from dmesg. The reason why I say that performance is slow is that

I wouldn't say that dd is the greatest benchmarking tool. You may want to try benchmarks/rawio. I'll check that out just for kicks, but I _actually want_ to write zeros to the drive first, not just as a benchmark. The reasoning for this is that I'm trying to create a dedicated box to format

Aha. Check the WCE bit to see if your write cache is enabled on the disk Bingo: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=64k [1] 2253 # iostat -K -w 1 da0 tty da0 cpu tin tout KB/t tps MB/s us ni sy in id 2 38 0.00 0 0.00 1 0 1 0 98 0 43 64.00 223

Kernel load balancing

Hi, I have posted an ealier question to this effect that could provide more context: (wrapped) http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=827757+0+archive/2003/freebsd-questions/20030713.freebsd-questions I would like to know where I can find out if FreeBSD spreads the network load across

Do you want to do trunking for extra bandwidth, for redundancy in case of failure...what problem are you trying to solve? Exactly... Both. Ok, so let's make this a little more complex. Here's how I envisioned this working. Subnet A 192.168.0.0/24 Subnet B 192.168.1.0/24 Subnet C

Yes, a quick routing question...

It is possible. I have 2 routers. Each has 3 interfaces. If : I plug 2 interfaces on each to the other router, the third interface on each is for the local subnet, a route to the non-local subnet is added to each of the 2 interfaces on each router Subnet A-A===B-Subnet B Will the kernel load
