Re: Creating DVD Movies

 Greetings,

 i was wondering if anyone had a good tool recommendation for
 creating DVD movies with FreeBSD.  Since I have a child growing up,
 it is appealing to me to make a copy of their favorite DVD and burn
 it so they can handle the copy, not the original (legal to make
 backup copies).  I also was thinking it could be handy to author my
 own dvds, but that might not be for a while.

 So far, I can use mplayer to get the DVD to an avi file, but I
 can't find anything to get it back onto a dvd.  I have tried
 dvdauthor, but the app kept crashing.  Does anyone have any
 suggestions for this?

 Hi,
 
 Thanks for the confirmation the onboard controller is not the
 way to go... What reliable and good raid controller would you
 recommend for a simple RAID 1 in SATA?

I have just ordered a AMCC 3ware 8006-2LP, it seems to be the cheap
controller I needed, with great support for FreeBSD.

Crashing with HP/Compaq DL360 G3 [paging kernel developer]

2006-06-21 Thread Jeremy Kister
I've got four identical HP/Compaq DL360 G3 1u servers.  Each has the 
latest available firmware:


Proliant P31 (03/03/2005) BIOS
HP SmartArray 5i RAID onboard controller (v2.62)
(2) HPNC7781 (Broadcom BCM5703) (ASIC rev. 0x1002) 10/100/1000 onboard 
network card

iLO v1.80 (Jul/12/2005)

and each has:
two Intel Xeon 2.8Ghz w/ Hyperthreading
four sticks of 512MB ECC RAM
two 36GB SCA disks in RAID1 via SmartArray 5i

I have sudden [seemingly random] reboots with all four (see 
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2006-02/msg01605.html) 
while running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE through the PreReleases and now with 
6.1-STABLE.



In an effort to make FreeBSD stable with DL360's, I'm wondering if 
there's a driver/kernel developer interested in having full remote 
access to this machine for a week or two (or three) via iLO and root/ssh.


Anyone qualified and interested, please let me know.

RE: Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?

G. Fournier
Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 2:24 AM
To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
Subject: Are hardware vendors starting to bail on FreeBSD ... ?



... and is there anything we can do as a community to prevent it?

I've been a FreeBSD users since '94, and proud of it ... and have
vehemently defended, all the way, my decision to use it vs 'the
dark side'
...

Although my above subject is a more general call, my big beef
right now
is with RAID controller vendors, but I don't believe that the
problem is
specific to them, so hopefully others will ring in ...


It IS specific to them for a couple reasons, let me outline:

1) RAID is being taken over by SATA raid chipsets.  Everyone
knows it, and no RAID chip makers are putting money into
development and support of anything other than SATA chip
raid controllers.  That is, their SCSI and UDMA products
they are just milking right now.

2) The motherboard chipset manufacturers - like Intel - are
integrating SATA RAID functionality into their motherboard
sets.  So companies like Promise see all their low-end
business going into the toilet and they are once again, just
milking it.

3) Price of disks is making everyone chuck out RAID-5   The
thing to do today is get cheapo 500GB SATA drives and mirror
them if you want redundancy.  Instead of striping together 3
or 4 250GB or 200GB disks, just get one or two big ones if you
don't care about redundancy.

4) FreeBSD needs to quit changing around the disk driver
architecture.  It's completely fucking rediculous.  We lost a lot
of good drivers due to the shift to CAM and then as soon as
we got some of the popular ones back, they broke everything
from the 4 to 5 transistion.  Now they are doing it again from
5 to 6.  Manufacturers like Intel put in their time, they wrote
stuff like your storcon, and saw the FreeBSD community say
thanks, but we are going to make you rewrite it again since
one of our developers got a hair up his ass to change everything
around again  The vendors are getting sick of it.

5) The low-end RAID chipsets are getting absorbed into the
ata driver as fast as Soren can write support for them.  There's
no incentive for the manufacturer to write a FreeBSD driver once
we reverse engineer what they are doing and stick support in
for it.


I just read a recent thread about monitoring RAID controllers on one of
hte lists (this one?) where someone mentioned that Adaptec's Official
stand is that they don't support storage management under
FreeBSD ... but,
in ports, we have the older aaccli interface, which I
understand doesn't
work with newer controllers ...

So, my question above, and a public call to -core, or anyone else:

   What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation?


Simple.  If you want to run RAID-5 then purchase the HiPoint card or
the 3ware card, both of them come with manufacturer-written drivers.
3ware is really great, they have a developer with committ rights and
they just stick their driver right into the FreeBSD source repository.

If you want to run RAID 0 or 1, then buy a motherboard with a
SATA raid chipset that is supported in FreeBSD's driver.

Its not enough anymore to know a piece of hardware *works* with
FreeBSD,
but more that the vendor is willing to acknowledge us as a market ...
petitions don't do anything, IMHO ... it all falls to 'money talks' for
most vendors (not all of them, but alot of them) ...

Is there anything we can do?


Yes, reward the vendors like HiPoint and 3ware by purchasing
their product, punish the vendors like Promise that force us to
reverse engineer their product to write a driver for it by not buying
their product.

Hello,

Is SMP enabled in the GENERIC kernel? I have a hyperthreading box, and on
Linux it shows up with two cpus. When I do a top on the box in FreeBSD I still

The GENERIC does not support SMP.

If you look into the config files you will see two kernel configuration 
files: SMP and GENERIC, SMP simply changes the IDENT, sets option SMP 
and includes GENERIC.


Simply build and install your kernel,

# make KERNCONF=SMP buildkernel
# make KERNCONF=SMP installkernel

to get an SMP enabled GENERIC kernel.

cvs is in the base system. You don't have to install anything.

You need to take the disk you unplugged to some other machine and wipe
it,
then make sure the one disk with the system left on it is in the 0
position, put
the wiped disk in the 1 position, then you should be able to boot.

Your simulating a failure when you pull the one disk, but your not
simulating
a recovery when you insert that disk back in.

 issues. A little benchmarking shows the ICH5R to be a little faster.
 
 Hi,
 
 I wasn't as lucky as Doug with my ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe board, both
 with the ICH5R and Promise RAID controller.
 
 1) With the Promise controller, after simulating a disk problem
 (shutdown - disk disconnection - reboot - shutdown - disk
 reconnection - reboot), I wasn't able to rebuild the array at all,
 either with atacontrol rebuild ar0 or from the bios. I suspect a
 spare disk is necessary for a complete rebuild.
 
 2) With the ICH5R controller, installation went fine too. If I
 disconnect a disk, the system still boots, but when I plug the disk
 back (computer shut down), no boot is possible anymore. At boot, a
 kernel panic says: softdep_setup_inomapdep. No array rebuild is
 possible from the bios, so I'm stuck.
 
 
 You need to take the disk you unplugged to some other machine
 and wipe it, then make sure the one disk with the system left
 on it is in the 0 position, put the wiped disk in the 1
 position, then you should be able to boot.
 
 Your simulating a failure when you pull the one disk, but
 your not simulating a recovery when you insert that disk back in.
 
 Ted

Hi,

I'm sure there are solutions to make things work, but personnaly, I
don't feel confortable with a RAID system that acts that way, and that
is supposed to make the whole system more robust and problem-free. I
used to play with hardware SCSI RAID controllers, and was never able to
trash the system. Arrays are being rebuilt in the background, that's
just great. I hope this is the kind of ease and quality I will get with
the 3WARE raid controller I have ordered... Apparently, everyone says
very good things about 3WARE.

RE: Crashing with HP/Compaq DL360 G3 [paging kernel developer]

2006-06-21 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

Did you install the Broadcom patch?

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeremy Kister
Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 11:26 PM
To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org
Subject: Crashing with HP/Compaq DL360 G3 [paging kernel developer]


I've got four identical HP/Compaq DL360 G3 1u servers.  Each has the
latest available firmware:

Proliant P31 (03/03/2005) BIOS
HP SmartArray 5i RAID onboard controller (v2.62)
(2) HPNC7781 (Broadcom BCM5703) (ASIC rev. 0x1002) 10/100/1000 onboard
network card
iLO v1.80 (Jul/12/2005)

and each has:
two Intel Xeon 2.8Ghz w/ Hyperthreading
four sticks of 512MB ECC RAM
two 36GB SCA disks in RAID1 via SmartArray 5i

I have sudden [seemingly random] reboots with all four (see
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2006-0
2/msg01605.html)
while running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE through the PreReleases and now with
6.1-STABLE.


In an effort to make FreeBSD stable with DL360's, I'm wondering if
there's a driver/kernel developer interested in having full remote
access to this machine for a week or two (or three) via iLO and
root/ssh.

Anyone qualified and interested, please let me know.

That processor is EM64T. It falls into AMD64/EM64T category instead of IA64.

IA64 = Itanium, Itanium2 = FreeBSD/ia64
EM64T = Intel CPUs with AMD64 (P4, Xeon, etc.) = FreeBSD/amd64
AMD64 = Opteron, Athlon 64, Turion 64, Sempron 64 = FreeBSD/amd64

 The short answer is that fsck can detect the bad inodes and fix or

 about a file containing bogus data after fsck has run.  Unfortunately,
 if write-caching is enabled on your hard drive (and it probably is,
 for speed), then the drive may internally re-order the writes and the
 carefully crafted sequence of writes disappears, so there are no
 guarantees (or at least, not as many).  Whether this is actually a
 problem depends on the brand, model, and firmware version of the
 drive, because some drives claim that data has been written to the
 disk when it is actually only in the drive buffer, while other drives
 are more honest.

The following is extracted from Soft Updates: A Technique for
Eliminating Most Synchronous Writes in the Fast Filesystem:


The first author on that paper, Marshall Kirk McKusick, was the
original developer of FreeBSD's filesystem, and of the softupdates
system, so I'm reasonably confident that if you trust the paper you
can trust the FreeBSD implementation (barring, as I said, programming
errors).




[...more deleted for brevity...]


so I assume FreeBSD is doing the correct thing.

Is correct this assumption?


It is supposed to be, but I've never looked at it in enough detail to
answer from my own knowledge.  The right people to ask would be Dr.
McKusick or a few of the other people who maintain that code.  There
is a mailing list specific to filesystem development:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that for the level of detail you are
interested in, that would be a better place to ask than on this
general-purpose list. There are also other topic-specific lists

you might find some of them of interest.

You should be using a kernel override config file thingy (I don't know

Also post a copy of /etc/make.conf... cc -c -O -pipe
-mcpu=pentiumpro... it looks like you have some non-standard stuff in

Re: ppp not starting at boot

 Hey people,

 # Enable PPPoE
 ppp_enable=YES

 Is this not correct? Should this not cause ppp to be started, using the

 I had to do it manually via

This seems to be started by the ppp-user rc script, but it didn't seem to

Any ideas?

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that 64-bit is going to be superfast, 
most people report very little difference in speed, except in a limited 
number of applications, some people say that it's actually slower. The real 
reason for 64-bit is support for address spaces that span more than 4GB.

Mounting an old drive/filesystem?

We have an old dusty DECstation (last bootup circa 1993) that is finally being

I am not a guru at this, but look at the pci ids etc for this in the  
boot dmesg and then look at the source for this driver and see if  
some pci ids or something need to be added.  Again, I am not an  
expert at this but did do something similar once for a raid  
controller to backport it to an earlier version of FBSD some time ago  
and did the same sort of thing on Solaris 10 to get the LSI SATA-4  
150 raid card to work with the amr driver.

Yes svscan starts dnscache and exim, but many services depend on dns 
(dnscache is setup on loopback) so I have to wait (for up to 3 minutes) 
for dns timeouts to occour so that they boot can continue, and finally 
get to starting svscan (quite low in the dictionary order of things)


So I'm looking for how I can control the order that things start up in.

I've since changed the order by prepending 000, 010, 020, etc.. to

   What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation?


Simple.  If you want to run RAID-5 then purchase the HiPoint card or
the 3ware card, both of them come with manufacturer-written drivers.
3ware is really great, they have a developer with committ rights and
they just stick their driver right into the FreeBSD source repository.



s/HiPoint/HighPoint/ a.k.a HighPoint Technologies, Inc. or simply HPT.

I have two HighPoint controllers and like them both:
FreeBSD 6.1/i386 + HPT2220 + 8x250GB.
FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE/amd64 + HPT1820A + 8x300GB.

Areca also supports FreeBSD:
$ man arcmsr (FreeBSD 5.4+)
http://www.areca.com.tw

My next controller will probably be from Areca because they support
RAID level 6 and have multi-lane connectors... maybe ARC-1130ML +
12x500GB. Does anyone know what SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) RAID
controllers are supported by FreeBSD?, they can use SATA drives
correct?

Sendmail + Cyrus + Procmail(?) + SpamAssassin

2006-06-21 Thread Andrew Swartz
I don't know if anyone is still interested, but I found a solution to 
this problem.  My mail goes Sendmail--Procmail--CyrusIMAP.


There are numerous discussions of how to configure the 
Sendmail--Procmail portion, so I'll skip that.


The problem lies in the Procmail--Cyrus part.  Sendmail and/or Procmail 
insists on adding a From line to the top of the message, and this 
causes an error when trying to pass the message from the procmailrc file 
to /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver.  So I wrote a little C-program that the 
email can be piped through (removing the From line); the resulting 
message is passed to /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver.


Here is my ~/.promailrc file.  Note that all mail is first delivered to 
the user's CyrusIMAP box, then it goes through the procmail checks.  
This is because if I don't do this, then all mail that fails all the 
conditions (recipes) gets shoved into /usr/local/mail/~, which is 
basically a black hole if you are using Cyrus.


# This file is: ~/.procmailrc
#
# REQUIREMENTS:
#1) cyrus-imap (specifically, /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/deliver).
#2) the C-program rmfromln in a reachable place (like 
/usr/local/bin).
#rmfromln:  the email argument is piped in; if the email 
message

#has been appended with starting From line, then this line is
#   removed, otherwise the message remains unchanged.

LOGFILE=/home/r2/procmail.log

###
# This is the default action; it delivers the email to the imap mailbox,
# and thus this happens regardless of the success|failure of the 
recipes.

# RATIONAL: every email MUST have a To field, otherwise sendmail would
#not have passed it to us!?

The consensus seems to be that FreeBSD/amd64 is a tad slower then
FreeBSD/i386 because it has to deal with 32 extra bits. The primary
reason to use FreeBSD/amd64 seems to be if you need greater then 4GB

This should give you the speed boost your looking for:

Put that in /etc/make.conf and recompile ports/kern/world.

 So far, I can use mplayer to get the DVD to an avi file, but I can't

What you need is tovid. (/usr/ports/multimedia/tovid).

This link... 
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/511457.html 

...gives some very basic instructions, but read the manpages for all the
nifty 
options. It's three steps from avi to dvd.
1) tovid converts the avi to mpeg,
2) makexml produces an xml script to feed into makedvd and
3) makedvd splits the mpeg into all the TS_VIDEO/VOBs and whatnots and can 
leave with with either a raw directory structure, an ISO file, or burn it 
straight to dvd for you.

HELP! Filesystem EMPTY after upgrade from 4.11 to 6.1

2006-06-21 Thread Sven Hazejager

Hi all!

I have quite a big problem here

I've upgraded my FreeBSD 4.11 to 6.1. Basically, I did a newfs of / and /usr
and reinstalled from scratch. That worked.

Rebooted in 6.1 single user mode, mounted /, /usr and /usr/home. The latter
I did not touch and I need to save that partition. /usr/home had all the
files it needed to have. PROBLEM: mount said soft-updates were not set on
/usr/home. So I did umount /usr/home, tunefs -n enable /usr/home, mount
/usr/home again... EMPTY

What has gone wrong? I did fsck (in read-only), no problems, rebooted the
system, did tunefs -n disable, still no luck. I really need those files
guys...

Please help urgently.

Many thanks,

Sven Hazejager

tovid takes any multimedia video file as input, and produces (S)VCD or 
DVD-compliant MPEG video files as output.

The output of tovid then becomes an input to makevcd or makedvd, and so on.

Device Busy

2006-06-21 Thread Peter Clark

Hello,

  I am installing a FreeBSD 6.1 i386 machine and using IPF. When I 
apply some variables to sysctl for IPF I end up with a device busy 
response.


the variables in question are:
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed=1
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosewait=60
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcphalfclosed=300
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpidletimeout=7200
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcplastack=20
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcptimeout=120
net.inet.ipf.fr_udptimeout=120

The problem occurs both on startup with these in sysctl.conf and if I 
try do enter it manually:


imap# sysctl net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed=1
net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed: 120
sysctl: net.inet.ipf.fr_tcpclosed: Device busy


These are the same variables that I have been using successfully on 
other versions of FreeBSD (5.x and 4.x) so I am inclined to think that I 
am missing something obvious in this latest version.

I am running: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p2
with: ipf: IP Filter: v4.1.8 (416)

Any pointers?


Thanks,

Peter

 Yes svscan starts dnscache and exim, but many services depend on dns
 (dnscache is setup on loopback) so I have to wait (for up to 3 minutes)
 for dns timeouts to occour so that they boot can continue, and finally
 get to starting svscan (quite low in the dictionary order of things)

 So I'm looking for how I can control the order that things start up in.

As I said in my other reply it depends on which version of FreeBSD you are 
using.  pre 6.1 you will have to move it to /etc/rc.d as several base-system 
scripts require dns access. There is also the potential problem that the 
later rc scripts wont wait for svscan to complete its initializations.

By far the easiest solution to this problem is to put additional nameservers 
in resolv.conf after 127.0.0.1. The servers are checked in order, so only 
dnscache will be used once it's up. That's what I do and it works fine.

Re: ppp not starting at boot

Hello Michael,

 # Enable PPPoE
 ppp_enable=YES
 ppp_mode=ddial
 ppp_nat=YES
 ppp_profile=storm
 
 Is this not correct? Should this not cause ppp to be started, using the
 storm profile, at boot?
 
 I had to do it manually via
 
 ppp -ddial storm

I remember that on FreeBSD 6.x the script ppp-user has changed to ppp,
maybe updated without using mergemaster?

What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation?
 

 Simple.  If you want to run RAID-5 then purchase the HiPoint card or
 the 3ware card, both of them come with manufacturer-written drivers.
 3ware is really great, they have a developer with committ rights and
 they just stick their driver right into the FreeBSD source repository.


 s/HiPoint/HighPoint/ a.k.a HighPoint Technologies, Inc. or simply HPT.

 I have two HighPoint controllers and like them both:
 FreeBSD 6.1/i386 + HPT2220 + 8x250GB.
 FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE/amd64 + HPT1820A + 8x300GB.

 Areca also supports FreeBSD:
 $ man arcmsr (FreeBSD 5.4+)
 http://www.areca.com.tw

 My next controller will probably be from Areca because they support
 RAID level 6 and have multi-lane connectors... maybe ARC-1130ML +
 12x500GB. Does anyone know what SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) RAID
 controllers are supported by FreeBSD?, they can use SATA drives
 correct?

SAS is what I'm using in our HP servers ... don't know about SATA drives,
since the SAS drives are closer to a 'laptop size' then full size drive
... the HP controller is supported by the CISS driver, and is, by far,
IMHO, the best driver we have, since you don't need any 'external
utilities' to check the status of the RAID controller ... wish they all
provided that :(



HighPoint and Areca both have native FreeBSD array management
utilities and 12port, and up, Areca controllers have a built-in
Ethernet port with an embedded http/smtp/snmp/telnet server running on
them.

Oh and SAS controllers can support SATA drives, from Adaptec's website:

The SAS connector is a universal interconnection that is form-factor
compatible with SATA, allowing SAS or SATA drives to plug directly
into a SAS environment whether for mission critical applications with
high availability and high performance requirements or lower
cost-per-gigabyte applications such as near-box storage.

SATA connector signals are a subset of SAS signals, enabling the
compatibility of SATA devices and SAS controllers. SAS drives will not
operate on a SATA controller and are keyed to prevent any chance of
plugging them in incorrectly.

In addition, the similar SAS and SATA physical interfaces enable a new
universal SAS backplane that provides connectivity to both SAS drives
and SATA drives, eliminating the need for separate SCSI and ATA drive
backplanes. This consolidation of designs greatly benefits both
backplane manufacturers and end-users by reducing inventory and design
costs.

cplay!!! http://mask.tf.hut.fi/~flu/hacks/cplay/ It's in ports under
audio/cplay. cplay is just a, python based, curses front-end so you
will also need to install a back-end (ogg123, splay, mpg123, mpg321,
madplay, mikmod, xmp, or sox), I recommend splay.

I've attached the default .cplayrc config file, copy it to your home
directory if the port doesn't automatically install it (I don't think
it does)... and read the man page for cplay.

   What can we, as a community, due to improve this situation?


Simple.  If you want to run RAID-5 then purchase the HiPoint card or
the 3ware card, both of them come with manufacturer-written drivers.
3ware is really great, they have a developer with committ rights and
they just stick their driver right into the FreeBSD source repository.



s/HiPoint/HighPoint/ a.k.a HighPoint Technologies, Inc. or simply HPT.

I have two HighPoint controllers and like them both:
FreeBSD 6.1/i386 + HPT2220 + 8x250GB.
FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE/amd64 + HPT1820A + 8x300GB.

Areca also supports FreeBSD:
$ man arcmsr (FreeBSD 5.4+)
http://www.areca.com.tw

My next controller will probably be from Areca because they support
RAID level 6 and have multi-lane connectors... maybe ARC-1130ML +
12x500GB. Does anyone know what SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) RAID
controllers are supported by FreeBSD?, they can use SATA drives
correct?


SAS is what I'm using in our HP servers ... don't know about SATA drives, 
since the SAS drives are closer to a 'laptop size' then full size drive 
... the HP controller is supported by the CISS driver, and is, by far, 
IMHO, the best driver we have, since you don't need any 'external 
utilities' to check the status of the RAID controller ... wish they all 
provided that :(

HighPoint and Areca both have native FreeBSD array management
utilities and 12port, and up, Areca controllers have a built-in
Ethernet port with an embedded http/smtp/snmp/telnet server running on
them.

Oh and SAS controllers can support SATA drives, from Adaptec's website:

The SAS connector is a universal interconnection that is form-factor
compatible with SATA, allowing SAS or SATA drives to plug directly
into a SAS environment whether for mission critical applications with
high availability and high performance requirements or lower
cost-per-gigabyte applications such as near-box storage.

SATA connector signals are a subset of SAS signals, enabling the
compatibility of SATA devices and SAS controllers. SAS drives will not
operate on a SATA controller and are keyed to prevent any chance of
plugging them in incorrectly.

In addition, the similar SAS and SATA physical interfaces enable a new
universal SAS backplane that provides connectivity to both SAS drives
and SATA drives, eliminating the need for separate SCSI and ATA drive
backplanes. This consolidation of designs greatly benefits both
backplane manufacturers and end-users by reducing inventory and design
costs.

a. HPs SAS drives don't have the same form-factor as the SATA drives, or,
   at least, not the SATA drives I've had experience with, so although the
   interface may work with either, the rack mount servers don't have that
   option ... my love of the SAS drives is 4 drives per 1U rack, which
   means I can do RAID1+0 instead of RAID5 on SCSI/SATA racks ...

b. are ppl actually using/promoting SATA drives in a server environment?
   Or are we just talking about situations where you have a large number
   of spindles to work with?  My one experience with an SATA configuration
   is that the server doesn't *feel* like its performing as well as my
   SCSI servers do ... under load ...

pkg_add is driving me NUTS!

2006-06-21 Thread Remington L

I have two servers, exact same hardware, exact same version of FreeBSD, in
this case 4.10. When I run pkg_add blah.tbz on one machine, it takes between
2-8 hours, on the other 8-10 minutes. These machines are quad-Intel
2.8Xeons, with 4GB of memory.

Ive done everything from running make world, to md5ing pkg_add, bzip2, and
tar, there identical.

I noticed on the one thing, on the machine that takes forever, bzip2 is only
using 1-3% load, while the other, which does work, takes 100%. I have SMP
compiled into the kernel, well actually, there both using the exact same
kernconf.

Anyone have ideas??

unexpected busfree while idle on FreeBSD 5.4 RELEASE-p7 with AIC-7899

2006-06-21 Thread Fedder Skovgaard

Hi Everybody,

I posted this to the freebsd-scsi list a week ago but no-one has
replied, why I take the liberty of posting it here as well.

Sorry for bothering you, but if you have the time, I'd really appreciate
your comments on the following problem:

I've got a P3 system with an onboard Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI Controller.

The system came with a QUANTUM  ATLAS10K3_18_WLS Version: 020W disk,
to which I've added two SEAGATE  SX1181677LCV Version: C00C disks
to the same cable (using 80-68 pins converters).

The two Seagate disks run in a gmirror.

Disk activity seems to lock in periods with the above mentioned error
shown in the system log. The interval of these lock-ups seem to be
closely related to the amount of disk activity in the system.

I can see that you, at least intended, to look at a seemingly similar
problem last january, ref:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-scsi/2005-January/001662.html

Where a user downgraded a driver. Is there a fix available for it now,
if I i.e. upgrade to 6.1-RELEASE?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
