Dmesg truncated

Is there any kernel parameter that could be truncating my dmesg buffer. Dmesg only seems to have 1 line ever buffered which kinda sucks.

How to distribute MySQL over various machines (or otherwise up its performance)?
Hi, I have been asked to assist in a most interesting challenge: getting rid of a Win2K server (running MySQL) on which MySQL takes up around 100% of the CPU. :) I have near total freedom in suggesting a replacement architecture (within some reasonable finacial limits, of course), and I am considering suggesting a solution that involves one or more FreeBSD MySQL DB servers, in order to speed up the database performance. Now, there are various strategies that spring to mind, and I was hoping someone could perhaps tell me some more about this from personal experience or hearsay. Regardless of what the eventual suggestion will be, first I'll tune the current DB by assigning a proper DB scheme and by properly using indexes. I've got a gut feeling that these guys set up the DB without paying proper attention to that (in this case probably due to a lack of experience with this), so hopefully a lot can already be gained by doing so. Nonetheless: for setting up a more robust and fast DB server (or server cluster?) I'd like to take matters a step further, by using a fast hardware set-up as well (note: in any and all proposed architecture, I'll propose to use plenty of memory). Now, here comes the bit with which I do not have any experience, so I'm hoping perhaps someone can help me getting started on the proper path. The following is what I'm considering as potential steps: -The guys for whom this will be done mentioned having acquired 64-bit motherboards (I do not yet know the exact type), they do not mind installing multiple processors on it. Question: which FreeBSD version can best be used in order to optimally make use of a 64-bit and/or multi processor architecture? -RAID: for performance and security matters, I _think_ a RAID 10 architecture would be a very good choice. By using a proper U320 SCSI hardware set-up, running in RAID 10 mode, I think much can be gained. Cost is somewhat of an issue, but not all too much. I'm considering the Adaptec 2200S RAID controller, with 15K U320 drives (like the Maxtor 15K 36 GB drives or so). Questions: does it really make sense to use U320 (and 15K instead of 10K) instead of U160? I'm not certain what the speed is of the PCI slots that are present on the motherboards that are to be used, but am I right that if it's the normal speed (being 133MHz), that virtually nothing is gained by using U320 over U160 (as U160 would then already be faster than the bus speed anyway)? Also: does anyone have an insight in actual DB performance gain by using striping? RAID 0 is not an option, it'll have to be fault tolerant. I'm somewhat suspicious of RAID 50 and the likes, hence the idea of using RAID 10... -Using multiple machines. Questions: is there something like a 'MySQL load balancer'? Is this a good idea at all, or will a fast machine (e.g. dual processor) + enough memory (1GB? 2GB?) + a fast hardware RAID 10 set-up already be more than sufficient to do the job? I realise this is a long mail, so sorry for that. :) I hope someone can give me some good pointers and/or other general information for how to best handle this... Thanks in advance, and cheerz!

Re: shared memory settings in 5.3
Thank you for the quick reply. That was very helpful. I thought I'd post what I found out for the next poor knob setting up sybase; The default setting of SHMMAXPGS appears to be 8192. Default page size is 4K, which gives you the 33554432 kern.ipc.shmmax value from sysctl. This means (if my math is right) you have 32mg of shared memory to allow sybase to grab. This is fine for the default sybase install (7500 2k pgs). I set 'options SHMMAXPGS=40960' in my recompiled kernel, which gives me a kern.ipc.shmmax 160 megs. This allowd me to set sybase's 'total memory' at 80,000 (2k pages) giving me just under 160 megs of memory available for data caches, which sybase is able to use at great advantage when the circumstances are right... J I have seen references to setting SHMMAXPGS, but am not quite sure how to set this or what units it is currently set in now. This is set in your kernel configuration file.

FreeBSD support of RealTek sound chips (HP box)?
I recently encountered an HP computer with what I regard as a unique built-in sound system based on RealTek chips: It breaks out (under Windows XP anyway) into five devices: one playback device and four recording devices. Most sound systems present one device with both record and playback channels. Since FreeBSD seems to have trouble in many cases with simultaneous record and playback on the same device, I thought this might actually be a significant benefit under FreeBSD compared to more conventional chipsets... but it would be difficult to test my theory on this, the only such box I have seen.

Handbook is unclear about the use of maxautovhans
Excerpt from the handbook: To set the number of virtual channels, there are two sysctl knobs which, if you are the root user, can be set like this: # sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 # sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans=4 The above example allocates four virtual channels, which is a practical number for everyday use. hw.snd.pcm0.vchans is the number of virtual channels pcm0 has, and is configurable once a device has been attached. hw.snd.maxautovchans is the number of virtual channels a new audio device is given when it is attached using kldload(8) http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kldloadsektion=8. Since the pcm module can be loaded independently of the hardware drivers, hw.snd.maxautovchans can store how many virtual channels any devices which are attached later will be given. --- So maxautovhans is only applicable if you loaded sound support as a kernel module and not compile it into the kernel? http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kldloadsektion=8 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

need help with libchk
I've been tracking stable and current on a couple machines and doing portupgrades. I noticed that super karamba started acting screwy, so I somehow stumbled across libchk and I ran it and I believe it said something about super karamba having an unresolvable link, so I de/reinstalled superkaramba and it mostly works (still having trouble with liquid calendar and liquid weather). I noticed many other unresolvable links, many indicting firefox (which crashes on my machine). So I tried to use libchk /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox so it would check in that directory as well. This doesn't seem to work because the links are still reported. However, if I add that directory to rc.conf to the ldconfig_path (whatever), the libchk report no longer contains the firefox anomalies. Am I using libchk wrong when I try to add a directory to it on the command line? And when libchk runs, it reports the directories that it will search, and the directory I added to rc.conf doesn't get reported but does seem to get used (since the errors disappear from the report). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installing FreeBSD 4.5 (was: I'm confused...)
First, thank you for taking time out of your weekend to respond to my query. It's much appreciates. I apologize for taking so long to reply. As you can imagine, my system has been up and down and e-mail with it. On Saturday, 11 December 2004 at 16:26:07 -0700, Charlie Sorsby wrote: Is the installer for freeBSD 4.5 broken? I've long procrastinated updating to a more recent version of freeBSD, mainly because I hate trying to get things back the way I had them afterwards. Consequently, I've been running 3.4 for quite a long while. Today, I finally decided to bite the bullet and update to 4.5, the most recent CD that I have. That's ancient, nearly three years old. I'm almost tempted to say after two years the installer stops working. But in any case, you really shouldn't be installing such old software. Well, I finally got it go go through all of install -- what that means is still uncertain. But, for once, I took pretty thorough notes -- it's a shame that there's no way to log all of the intallation process. :( Yes, I understand why. On the last pass, it hung during installation of the packages that I'd selected on the cvsupit package. The last thing it said was Package cvsupit-3.0 read successfully -- waiting for pkg_add(1) ... I'd gone to bed -- it was the wee hours by then -- and when I checked in the morning I found (using CTLALTF2) that there was a page there titled Branch selection menu but it was unresponsive. Don't know why that went to the F2 console rather than the normal without so much as a See ... with F2 ... message. Anyways, using CTLALTF1, I returned to the main screen and, grasping at straws, entered CTLC which took me to an Installation interrupt box with choices to abort, restart, and continue. Decided to see what would happen if I selected Continue. That took me to a message box: Add of package cvsupit-3.0 aborted, error code 1 -- Please check the debug screen for more info. There it simply said in a box Aborting cvsup stup per user request. Returning to the main screen (F1), where, as I recall, the only choice was [OK], I entered RETURN -- Oops! on modern keyboards, it's ENTER... -- and it resumed reading and adding packages. Anyways, it finally finished the rest of those and I went through the various other things (add user, set root password, etc.) After that, a User Confirmation Menu asked if I wanted to visit the general configuration menu to set any last options. [NO was highlighted so I just accepted that default. That took me back to the /stand/sysinstall Main Menu (which I thought is what would have happened if I'd answered [YES] but what do I know. Since I was there anyway I selected Do post- install configuration and tried (unsuccessfully as far as I could tell) to configure X. After that, I thought to hell with it and decided to go quail hunting after all since it was only 09:30 and the spot I was considering is only an hour and a half away. Well, the list(s) of Fn keys presented by the boot manager has, not unexpectedly, changed and I apparently selected the wrong one but I did manage to guess right a the boot: prompt and managed to get back to booting the disk that contains 3.4 and it still works. At least I'd have a working system while I was away... Well, when I got back and started experimenting again, I got it to boot to what purported to be freeBSD 4.5 -- but by this time I'm pretty burnt out and didn't even think to take notes so this is from memory. While it claimed to have booted to 4.5, the partitions that were mounted were those containing 3.4 and those on which I still have the stuff from 2.1.5. Put another way, while it claimed to have booted 4.5 it *looked* as though it had booted 3.4. I have *NO* idea what was going on. I've tried a couple of times, back and forth but, as I said, failed to take notes. Since 3.4 is still running (more or less normally as far as I can tell), I probably won't get to any more experimentation until this evening or tomorrow. I'll try to take more notes then but I may have changed a few things by manually mounting the 4.5 partitions and looking round. Here's /etc/fstab from the 4.5 root partition (this is apparently just as sysinstall created it -- I'm just now removing the extra tab that cause excessive line length and ugly random wraps from the following copy): # See the fstab(5) manual page for important information on automatic mounts # of network filesystems before modifying this file. # # DeviceMountpoint FStype Options DumpPass# /dev/da0s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da0s2b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da1s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da2s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da3s1b noneswapsw 0 0 /dev/da3s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/da2s1e /home

Never seen a heat problem result in a reboot yet. The way to check for this is to swap the ram out, after checking heat using ssh, mbmon, and a `cd /usr/src/ make buildworld/ cd /usr/ports/math/atlas make`. This command series you will also use each time as it provides a very good method for taking a system down since I've seen problems where just one of those would not take it down before. If you still get it, continue swap out the power supply next. Possiblility of not liking extra stress from active hard drive. Had this a bit on one old P2 gateway at one time. If it is still there do the same with proc. By now we should be able to safely rule out heat, provided that the sensor is functioning properly.

Since the pcm module can be loaded independently of the hardware drivers, hw.snd.maxautovchans can store how many virtual channels any devices which are attached later will be given. --- So maxautovhans is only applicable if you loaded sound support as a kernel module and not compile it into the kernel? No, (speaking for the 5.3-STABLE branch) sysctl hw.snd.maxautovchans also works, if sound support has been compiled into your kernel. You can set the sysctl via /etc/sysctl.conf or /boot/loader.conf or commandline.

Hi,
don't know if i got you roght, but here are my thoughts.
if you want to serve more than one ip network over one physical wire you
have to define a shared network.
here is an example. (remeber, host declarations have to be inside! the
subnet they belong to)
shared-network MYNETWORK {
subnet 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.0.31 10.1.0.60;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name bla.org;
option domain-name-servers 222.222.222.22;
option routers 10.1.0.1;
host pc1 {
hardware ethernet 00:33:11:22:bb:94;
fixed-address 10.1.0.10;
}
}
subnet2 10.2.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.2.0.31 10.2.0.60;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name bla.org;
option domain-name-servers 222.222.222.22;
option routers 10.2.0.1;
host pc2 {
hardware ethernet 00:44:44:22:bb:94;
fixed-address 10.2.0.10;
}
}
}
as far as i can tell, this setups work here for me. i don't know the
exact
behavior of dhcpd if you declare dynamic ranges in more than one ip
subnet. i've only one dynamic range in one! subnet.
regards
Joerg

The above doesn't work, only the first one is used.

Keep a copy of the original addswap somewhere! You will need to specify

swapfile=/mailstore/swap1 /mailstore/swap2

expect. However, I hereby disclaim any liability... ;-)

OpenOffice - Java problems
I'm trying to compile OpenOffice 1.1 for FreeBSD 4.10 (may as well exercise the lap-top). After grabbing all the Linuxy bits for Java JDK14, I now find it wants a Solaris library under /compat/svr4/lib (libc.so.2 or similar), and this is found only on a Solaris/86 CD, which of course not being a licensee I don't have. So, I give up and install the package instead, but the installation window says it can't find a Java Runtime Environment, and would I like to run without one? Sure, I metaphorically say, only to have it say that some functionality will be lost - OK? - and drops me back to the choice box again. Catch-22. I have got an earlier version to install (from the package), but I have no idea how it handled the Java stuff, so has anyone managed to compile/install OpenOffice on FreeBSD 4.10 (no updates)?

RE: GPU / GPL
Amit, There really isn't one because of the nature of the FreeBSD project. Everything that makes up FreeBSD including the documentation of it is licensed under either the GPL/GNU license or the BSD license, or some variant license that is similar to BSD. For example the documentation for FreeBSD which includes everything on the website, has a license that is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/LEGALNOTICE.html For each version of FreeBSD, there is a file installed in the root of the version named COPYRIGHT that starts out like this: $ cat COPYRIGHT # $FreeBSD: src/COPYRIGHT,v 1.4.24.1 2004/04/30 12:50:48 kensmith Exp $ # @(#)COPYRIGHT 8.2 (Berkeley) 3/21/94 The compilation of software known as FreeBSD is distributed under the following terms: followed by a bunch of copyright notices for all organizations and firms and such that have given permission to FreeBSD to use things. While in general these licenses are non-restrictive, it is YOUR problem to determine if you are infringing any of them in your products. For example, one of the items in the FreeBSD 4.10 copyright reads: ...The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the American National Standards Committee X3, on Information Processing Systems have given us permission to reprint portions of their documentation... This means in effect that IEEE and ANSI aren't going to allow you to lift their stuff out of FreeBSD to use on your site - but they have given permission to you to redistribute their stuff that is embedded within FreeBSD. Similarly to this, the C compiler that is used by FreeBSD is GCC and that is under the GPL license. Same deal there - just because the FreeBSD license allows you to use FreeBSD code in a commercial product, that does not change the license for GCC. So in summary, what it boils down to is that the people within the FreeBSD project that could actually research all this for you once you tell them what you intend on doing, and tell you if your going to infringe something or not, these people don't work for free and they are probably too busy to do it anyway. Your going to have to do it yourself which means you need to learn a lot more about FreeBSD than you obviously know at this point. This list can give you some opinions, but you need to explain what your SPECIFICALLY wanting to do. And in the long run, whether you use our opinions, form your own, or hire someone to give you some, this isn't an issue where it is possible to get a blanket approval from one person over the entire FreeBSD project. This is an issue where you have to look at FreeBSD, look at what your wanting to do with it, figure out what parts of it you need to do that, then decide if your going to step on anyone's toes.

RE: Your FreeBSD daemon logo
Graphic images of the FreeBSD mascot, referred to as the BSD daemon in most literature on the subject, are copyright by the artists that draw them. You must get permission from those artists. For example, Marshall Kirk McKusick drew these here and if you use any of them you must get his permission: http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/mainpage/images.html The BSD daemon in the logo on the website, here: http://www.freebsd.org/gifs/freebsd_1.gif Is a mirror of this image: http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/gif/bsd4_3.gif and permission should be got from Marshall for use of it. This image is probably the most popular of all the images of the BSD daemon. In general Marshall gives permission for use of this image to just about anyone that asks to use it in FreeBSD-related items. You also have the option of drawing your own BSD daemon, or contracting someone to draw it. For example my book cover here: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com/bookcover.png uses a BSD image that was drawn by an artist within Addison-Wesley, thus is copyright by Addison-Wesley, not by Marshall. For another example, Darby Daemon, here: http://www.daemonnews.org/199912/darby.html is copyrighted by Susannah Coleman. As you can probably see there's wide variation in the images people have drawn.

FreeBSD 5.3; hoto migrate from i386 to amd64 mode
hello folks, on my Athlon64 based box I installed 5-CURRENT about a year ago. Because at that time amd64 mode didn't work very well with a lot of ports I installed FreeBSD in i386 mode. Meanwhile I followed the release path to 5.3.Everything works very fine. Now I want to use the full power of my 64 bit CPU. I cross compiled the kernel to amd64 mode (cd /usr/src; make kernel TARGET=amd64 TARGET_ARCH=amd64 KERNCONF=REINEKE64) and tried to reboot the machine with the new kernel. The kernel himself seems to work but when he tries to mount the root filesystem the system hangs. I think something in my migration is wrong. Can someone please tell me the correct procedure to get my system work in amd64 mode without complete re-installation.

(Stupid Windows) Does anyone have any ideas or know which port I should use? Thanks in advance for any help, Mike Welcome to FreeBSD! I wouldn't worry **too much** about what Windows thinks about the hardware... include #disclaimer.h Backup your data and go to the Project's site... find the paragraph that references freshly formatted floppies and these instructions and go for it! In the rare event that you aren't able to install FBSD, you can reinstall M$ and restore you data and be OK In my experience, M$ products do have some problems, but I'm not sure that these will compare to the likelihood that Compaq used some kind of 'fritzy' hardware and their BIOS is typically a terror;it may be that it's an old box with onboard everything and a lot of stuff that's either outdated or was m/l Windows only at the time (modems tended, in the past, to be a problem here...also some hardware manufacturers are reluctant to release technical data to Open Source developers, and others are defunct) those issues are more likely to cause problems with FreeBSD installation or usage, although I do understand how difficult it can be to get real hardware data from certain versions of Windows(R). My advice on _that_: open the box and write down every number and manufacturer you see and check them against the HCL on the Project web site for the release you wish to install (which is probably 5.3-RELEASE). The platform, as Jerry says, is i386, which is the Project's code for IBM PC compatible architecture (as opposed to, say, PowerPC, Alpha, PC-98-[Japan] Mainframes, etc...) and that is what most of the documentation will be pointed towards, as i386 counts for the large majority of all FreeBSD (as well as other OS) installations...

just a couple quick pf/nat questions
Ok, I'm slowly coming out of the fog here, but it looks like I might still have a way to go. I finally found the part in the handbook that said I didn't have to compile in the IPFW* and IPDIVERT configs into the kernel *UNLESS* I wanted NAT. Well, I do, but I didn't comple the kernel with IPFIREWALL et. al. Still, I'm planning to migrate to pf, since it's supposed to be better. It seems (from my murky understanding) like it would make tricky NAT stuff easier, so there would be some benefits (battle.net, here I come :). Problem is, it seems like there's a whole new logical approach with pf, and I can't figure out if pf does the NAT itself or if you still need the nat_enable etc. Also, with ipfw, I just ran a script that grabbed the current dynamic IP and used it when the script was run. How does pf handle dynamic IPs? If I'm understanding the pf manual at OpenBSD.org, it will simply take the network interface and apply any IP assigned to a given rule. Am I right? Has anyone else gotten pf running to their satisfaction on 5.3? And are there any pf config generation pages out there yet?

Re: just a couple quick pf/nat questions
Hi, I use to use ipf under pre-5.3. NOw i have switched to pf for various reasons. I have not as of yet deployed it on my router, but i will be doing so. In looking it over, i do not believe pf needs nat_enable it does all it's nats within the pf.conf file.

Extrange behavior using ppp, pf and altq on FreeBSD 5.3
Please help!
I am new to FreeBSD, and UNIX in general but form the beginning I'm
fascinated. I had configured a FreeBSD 5.3 machine to be the
Firewall/gateway of 8 windows PC's. The machine has 2 interfaces one
(fxp0) is connected to the ADSL modem and the another (rl0) is
connected to a switch where the windows boxes are connected too. The
first problem is that sometimes, when ppp redial to the pppoe Internet
provider, I can use Internet from the FreeBSD machine, but not from
the internal network. I had found a workaround to this problem:
server:~ $ cat /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
default:
! pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf /usr/local/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf
-
Refreshing the pf rules, the nat appears to work again, after a connection drop.
The problem that I can't solve is the following:
In the FreeBSD manual states that one must use router_enable=NO in
rc.conf, to avoid routed to delete the routes added by ppp. If I do
this, I can't have access to the box from outside using ssh.
For reference I added the content of the floowing files:
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/start_if.tun0
/etc/ppp/ppp.conf
/etc/pf.conf
/root/kernels/GENERICconALTQ # the kernel config file
demesg
Thank you very much!!!

dspam
On our FreeBSD 5.2.1 box, I have postfix-2.1.5 running with amavisd-new-2.2.0 and Spamassassin-3.0. All works well and thinking of incorporating dspam. This postfix server serves as a transport only, no local user other than admin users. Does anyone have this type of setup going and possibly some suggestions on docs, etc? Can dspam work in such an environment of transporting mail on to final destination mail servers? -- Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On Monday 13 December 2004 02:35 pm, Louis LeBlanc wrote: Still, I'm planning to migrate to pf, since it's supposed to be better. It seems (from my murky understanding) like it would make tricky NAT stuff easier, so there would be some benefits (battle.net, here I come :). Problem is, it seems like there's a whole new logical approach with pf, and I can't figure out if pf does the NAT itself or if you still need the nat_enable etc. No - the NAT config is incl in pf.conf Also, with ipfw, I just ran a script that grabbed the current dynamic IP and used it when the script was run. How does pf handle dynamic IPs? If I'm understanding the pf manual at OpenBSD.org, it will simply take the network interface and apply any IP assigned to a given rule. Am I right? You are correct. Has anyone else gotten pf running to their satisfaction on 5.3? Haven't tried that yet, but I will soon. I've been using it for quite a while on OpenBSD boxes it is pretty much wonderful (except it won't pass a Cisco VPN connection through the firewall) And are there any pf config generation pages out there yet? You may want to read the pf User's Guide at: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html It's got loads of info, and isn't a difficult read. Also, there is a sample config file for a SOHO included. If you Google for pf.conf, you'll turn up butt-loads of others. I also noticed that all the sample scripts I've looked at seem to specify ports with either an explicit port number or a macro defined right in the config.
