Newbie install question about disks
Hi all I am installing a new and all Freebsd system (no other OS in it). The goal is to have a NFS for a network that has 2x200Gb in RAID 1 disks for data. It has 3 disks: - 80Gb Seagate IDE for FreeBSD OS alone - 2xSATA Seagate 200Gb disks in RAID 1 with the ICH7R motherboard chipset configured SATA II. and 1 CD-RW. The BIOS has 3 IDE plugs and 4 SATA. I install from the CD FreeBSD 6.1 May 2006 (I've tried i386 and amd64, because is a EM64T 6xx) In sysinstall appears: - ad0 = HD 80GB (for FreeBSD OS at complete) - ad12 = oine of the SATA HD I think - ad8 = The other SATA HD I think - ar0 = ??? (I suppose this is the RAID isnt'it?) What must I do? - Make filesystem for the 3 (ad12, ad8, ar0)? - Make only for ar0? - make for ad12, ad8 and not for ar0? - make for ad12, ad8 and ar0? I have installed FreeBSD before but not with this configuration and really I don't know what to do. Nothing in manual or FAQ about this.

Does fbsd support NAT-Traversal IPSEC VPNs?
I found for netbsd a kernel config named options IPSEC_NAT_T, this doesn't exist (I have fbsd 6.0 stable). Also OpenBSD has support since 3.6. Is there any way to get Nat-Traversal run, or whatever thing to encapsulate esp-packets into UDP? I'm using racoon, out of the ipsec-tools Port, which has at least such options in racoon.conf. But when I say racoon -f /usr/local/etc/racoon.conf and include nat_traversal on; the daemon doesn't start, my log says compression algorithm cannot be checked because sadb message doesn't support it.

Any would mean you somehow had an installed version newer that the port version! Presumably that could happen if the port were reverted. For completeness, looks like I got it backwards: The installed version of the package is older than the current version. The installed version of the package is newer than the current version. This situation can arise with using an out-of-date INDEX file, or when testing new ports. And yes, a reverted port would do it too, I expect. And my system shows tons of (which is what confused me) whereas pkg_version shows lots of =. Looks like you have to be religious about keeping INDEX up to date. pkg_version -L = is functionally equivalent, slower, but doesn't require up-to-date INDEX (which just takes too long to build and I usually forget or can't be bothered). portversion - tidy completists pkg_version - lazy sods like me --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, it doesn't. It means upgrade as much as is necessary to get the sendmail change installed. You *can* do everything, and that is safe, but for a small change to just sendmail it is unnecessary. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html#Q21.4.14.1. The trailing . is part of the URL. I would never recommend rebuilding world without kernel, even it appears to be without risk, for three extremely good reasons: Pointless. When you recompile kernel when nothing has changed, you just install the same files you already had. The section of the Handbook about making world is regrettably written in a section about keeping up to date with STABLE/CURRENT. There, lots of stuff will change when you cvsup and you should always recompile world, whenever you recompile kernel. But there is no need to recompile kernel when you recompile world. If you only cvsup when you actually intend to upgrade then you can recompile/reinstall world and kernel completely independently in between. If, when you cvsup, all you get are the changes to sendmail (because you track RELEASE regularly, e.g.) then you can just follow the instructions in the patch section minus the actual patching: # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm # make obj make depend make # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil # make obj make depend make # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail # make obj make depend make make install --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: how to debug a lock-up?
Look at the other logs in /var/log to see if there are any log entries that might point to something. You can trim down the system and build a custom kernel, and go through /etc/rc.conf and /usr/local/etc/rc.d and make sure you are only starting essential services. Depending on what you are using this server for, you may want to add more logging for those services such as mail, web, etc. Run the manufacturer's diagnostics. It sounds like a hardware problem. -Derek At 09:05 AM 6/15/2006, George Donnelly wrote: hi Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First you should cvsup and rebuild everything to the latest release versions so all security fixes are loaded. yes, that's already done.

Re: Verizon Wireless PC5740 on FreeBSD?

I have read where the PC5740 card has been successfully used on Linux claiming 160mbps with a ohci-hcd module. If that's true, I was thinking this should be possible on FreeBSD. I have a mix of Darwin and FreeBSD and it seems more likely that FreeBSD would be the better bet since the linux module might run as is. Hate to put the money out and find out differently. Has anyone tried this? I have a bit of experience running these cards on OSX (10.4) and was impressed. The basic connection procedure (via the Verizon GUI) is to load the driver to the card, bring up a ppp interface which authenticates with the Verizon service (I assume that this a basic ppp authentication script). IP, routing, dns is doled out to the host after auth. i would suspect that authentication is tied to a uniq ID based on the card (probably not the MAC address from what I could tell though). You may need a compatible device to unlock the card intitally (Mac or NT).

fxp driver performance expectations
Hello. I am running FreeBSD-5.4 on a 3GHz P4 with two Intel fxp NICs running IP forwarding with polling enabled. For larger packets (e.g. 700 bytes) I am getting 100Mbps throughput port to port. For min-size packets (64 bytes) I am only seeing around 60Mbps. Increasing HZ and the polling parameters does not help. I tried a couple of Gigabit Ethernet cards, using the em driver and they can sustain 100Mbps. For further comparison I tried a recent Linux install and got a little over 20Mbps for 64 byte packets. So much for that. Does anyone know if I should be expecting more performance out of the fxp? Again, the em NICs work beyond 100Mbps with min sized frames. I want to know if there's more performance to be had from the hardware. My working assumption is that the driver is mature, it's a popular NIC, so maybe I'm getting all there is out of it. However, if the driver has been written optimized for larger packets at the expense of smaller packets, then perhaps there's work I can do. The goal, by the way, is to forward min-sized frames at line rate. It's a dumb goal, but one that marketing people care about. I clearly have no clue here, so please feel free to give me one.

You should be aware that the minimum 64-byte packet size does not count the 8-byte ethernet frame preamble (well, 7 bytes of preamble and 1 byte called the start frame delimiter), which means that you'll only be able to get a theoretical maximum of about 87 Mbps of packet data through at the 64-byte packet size. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

clarification of cvsup process.
I have a FreeBSD 6.0 server that I manage that is used as a DNS / mail server. In the wake of the recent sendmail security announcement, I'd like to make sure I'm keeping the thing up to date. I tried to run the patch as listed in the announcement, but the patch just seemed to hang, so I killed the process and decided to go the cvsup route. now I understand the whole cvsup process, as well as updating ports, but the whole release tag thing still has me confused. If possible could someone tell me if I'm doing this right or not, or have someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm only interested in updating the system when a security need arises, and have no desire to live on the cutting edge. I handle the ports through portaudit/portsnap/portmanager, and am looking to only update the case system with cvsup. Here is the list of commands I run to update the system. # cvsup /usr/local/greg/cvsupfile Contents of cvsupfile: *default host=cvsup6.FreeBSD.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_0 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all *default tag=. # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot After rebooting into single user mode: # fsck -p # mount -u / # mount -a -t ufs # swapon -a # adjkerntz -i # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot After rebooting: # cd /etc/mail # make all # make install # make restart And that's it. I do the stuff in /etc/mail since I'm not sure running make buildworld will update the cf files. The last patch that came out, I did the same thing I outlined above, but I did not notice a change in the version number of Sendmail when telnetting to it. I did a search through the security notice, and took a look at all of the source files on my machine that were updated. Although I could not find a version number anywhere, I noticed that the timestamp for all of the affected files had changed to the date listed in the announcement. I'm not sure if Sendmail reports it's version from something hardcoded in the binary, or if it comes from the cf file. So does this look right? Or am I missing something obviously stupid? Is my cvsupfile correct for what I want it to do?

Thanks for the detailed reply Danial. By 100Mbps I mean line-rate: 148809 packets/sec for 64-byte Ethernet frames + IPG and preamble appended. The 10/100 fxp NIC is on straight PCI-33. The 1000 em NIC is on PCI-Express x1. It can do 100Mbps line-rate (148809pps) in 100Mbps mode. In 1000Mbps mode it can do ~700Kpps, so the bottleneck isn't the FreeBSD IP stack.

Re: fxp driver performance expectations
--- Paul Marciano [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- Danial Thom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You couldn't do 100Mb/s with em on a 100Mb/s line with min packets, because there are gaps between packets so its impossible. Thanks for the detailed reply Danial. By 100Mbps I mean line-rate: 148809 packets/sec for 64-byte Ethernet frames + IPG and preamble appended. The 10/100 fxp NIC is on straight PCI-33. The 1000 em NIC is on PCI-Express x1. It can do 100Mbps line-rate (148809pps) in 100Mbps mode. In 1000Mbps mode it can do ~700Kpps, so the bottleneck isn't the FreeBSD IP stack. Your logic is wrong here; you're dealing with a different set of timings. The stack eats cycles, just as bus access eat cycles, and the cycles contribute to the reduced throughput. My point what that the stack is a variable that you can easily eliminate by bridging instead. There also may be less context switching (although I'm not sure about that). Realize that fxp parts are only 32bit/33mhz so the bus is a factor. Although its a 1Gb/s bus, thats only when bursting, so its really substantially less. With shorter packets you have more setups and I/O and therefore more overhead on the bus. Yes indeed. fxp performs similarly to an em controller when they are both on a 32bit/33mhz bus in Freebsd 4.x. 5.x is about 20% slower than 4.x, but I expect the drivers to be about the same for 5.x as well. Thanks for that. I realize that comparing a PCI-33 NIC to a PCI-Express NIC isn't fair. I don't have a PCI-33 Gig NIC - why I need outside info. Are you using a traffic generator, or are you relying on some server to return packets? Ixia traffic generator. We have customers with fxp interfaces on freebsd 4.x pushing 90Mb/s+ (while doing a lot of other processing also), so its certainly possible. I'd suggest getting a MOBO with a 32bit PCI slot and getting an em card (they'll work in 32bit slots generally) and an fxp card and test on the same MB in the same slot with the same processor. Its the only way to do a fair test. All drivers work better with larger packets, because you have fewer bus setups and fewer packets to process. Also it doesn't make sense to optimize for smaller packets or larger packets, although some benchmarkers may to suit their agenda. I don't believe that either the fxp or em driver have been optimized one way or the other. I've done a lot of testing on both. the em parts are superior parts feature-wise; there's really no reason if you have a choice to go with older parts to save a few pennies. You shouldn't ever use polling for either one of these parts as they have interrupt moderation built in, so you're only adding overhead and latency. You can tune interrupt moderation in the em controller to do anything that polling can do without the added clock tick overhead. I suspect that context switching is so bad in FreeBSD 5 that you see more of a difference than you should with fewer interrupts (which is why we don't use FreeBSD 5), but in a router or network appliance you can't realistically use polling unless you set the HZ to 5000 or more, which is just stupid, and certainly not necessary.

Re: formatting tools for Docbook
Bob Johnson wrote: On 6/15/06, Chuck Robey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greg Barniskis wrote: Chuck Robey wrote: docs, because then no one else would be able to use my documents. Am I wrong in considering the FDP generated documentation as being in that category, not terribly uselful outside the FreeBSD project. I believe you are wrong, or I misunderstand the question. I haven't used XML DocBook, but I've used DocBook with DSSSL. I assume what you are really asking is not whether the FreeBSD extensions to the DocBook markup language are a problem (they aren't), but whether the stylesheets used by FreeBSD are compatible with those on other systems. They are (or they claim to be, as I said I haven't actually used the XML/XSL tools yet). To clarify: the real issue for me, and probably what you are really referring to, is that the output format is not defined by the DocBook markup, but by the stylesheets (or equivalent) in the tool set used to produce the output. That's both the advantage and disadvantage of Docbook (and SGML in general). If you want strict control of the output format, then you run into the problem of a standard stylesheet format so you can also distribute your stylesheets along with your marked up documents. DSSSL stylesheets are an incredible pain to modify, and I sympathize with your desire to avoid them. XSL stylesheets are becoming a widely accepted standard, so that's the way to go, and since they are pretty much a standard, the details of what tools you use to do your document rendering shouldn't matter. If you need to modify the standard XSL stylesheets to meet your needs, just distribute the modified stylesheets along with your marked up documents and that should allow the person at the other end to duplicate your output. The FreeBSD XML DocBook tool set claims to use XSL stylesheets, so as I said, the answer to your question should be no, the tools are not FreeBSD specific. Is that explanation helping at all, or am I way off track? And have I said anything that is just flat wrong? You may also want to look at http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets if you haven't already. This sort of response, answering questions I never asked, is exactly why, in my original post, I pleaded with folks not to respond if they had not, themselves, used the ports to create Docbook (NOT FDP!) documents. I wasn't asking questions relating in any remote fashion to the FDP. It's a fine project, I make no criticism of them at all, but I do make a criticism of folks who try to hijack a thread so as to bang their own drum. I want to make Docbook documents, not FDP docs, and the extensions that FDP supplies, unless it leaves me 100% (not 98%) compatible with the latest Docbook schema (not tracking the FDP schema). I want to write docs for inter-communications with folks outside of FreeBSD, folks who aren't even aware of Unix at all. Please don't hijack my thread. If I try to use FDP-created docs, then I will not be able to send them out to folks who haven't any idea what FDP is, and I don't want that. That wasn't my question. Geeze, I feel badly enough about having to jump on someone ... the first fella, I replied to him privately, but you, in greatly exopanding the range of your hijacking (once the fist fella had snipped off my request not to do just what you did, you were I guess free to do that), I haven't any way to stopping you from destroying my thread, outside of blantly asking you to Stop It (PLEASE!)

Probably a simple question but...
I believe this is a simple fix, but I sure can't find it. I set up 2 FreeBSD boxes as dual-stack network routers and I'm using them to test an application capable of generating both TCP and UDP messaging. The TCP part of this equation is working great -- my message fly around the network just like they should. However, my routers appear to be eating my multicast UDP packets. The packets are addressed to 225.0.0.41 and static routes for that prefix are defined in both rc.conf files (I only use 1 multicast address, so I don't see a reason to use a multicast routing daemon). Obviously, I don't believe the static route is defined correctly. Can somebody clue me in to the proper method for configuring a FreeBSD computer, functioning as a network router, to accept all packets addressed to 225.0.0.41 on either Ethernet interface and forward them out the other?? (they're RL0 and RL1, lower case.) Do I need to define 2 static routes? Do I need to switch something else on? Thanks for any help, Rich Mayo P.S. It may be significant that when I installed the OS on the computer, there was only 1 NIC present. I added the other one after I got the software running, so it occurs to me that there may be a switch relating to forwarding that's not ON, but I have no idea where to look for that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
