However, you can update an installed port or package; in most cases, it doesn't even matter if you installed from a port or from a package. [...] for example I have a package-1.0.tbz and I have downloaded package-2.0.tbz. What I want is to update a installed 1.0 package to 2.0 without internet connection. Is is relatively easy, but you need to make sure first that you have all the dependencies for package-2.0, for example libdep-1.3, depend-3.2.1 and libfoo-0.22.7. You first need to fetch them. Now a question: The system that has internet access: Do you want to install the new packages there, too? I have portupgrade-2.4.6_2,2 installed on my system. If you answered the question with yes, then portupgrade can do it for you. Simply update package-1.0 to package-2.0 and let portupgrade create packages (-p). You can then transfer those packages to the other system which can't fetch them by itself. But if you answered no, the task would be as follows: Get the newest version of a package along with all those packages this new version depends on. In order to do so, you may use the simple (and ugly) shell script I attached.

Re: IBM x345 Dual 2.8Ghz Xeon poor performance
constantly doing ECC that's why it was damn slow. anyway - can hardware give any info for OS about how often ECC corrects errors? This feels like the right track, I'll run memtest86 on it later tonight. if i'm right memtest86 will not detect anything as too - all errors get corrected. for example - on your DIMM with 72-bit bus (64+8) one pin is dirty and is not connected well. then you'll get a single bit error every few reads/writes, and all will be corrected. If you can disable ECC - do it, and then run memtest so it will detect errors. If you can't, remove all but one DIMM, check if speed improved, if so, remove this and put other DIMM etc.. until you'll find what is bad. Or maybe it will then work fine because it's just contact problem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Dear Experts,

1- How open source served your businesses requirements?
Allowing extensibility. Generally, if something needs to be changed,
it _can_ be changed, and usually with minimal overhead.
2- What kind of application that running on Open Source?
This is a very vague question. Do you mean desktop or server
applications? (I use FreeBSD for both purposes... Hopefully that
answers your question. :) )
3- General experience with Open Source technology?
I believe people can get more experience in general with open source
technologies than they can with closed source. The reason is simple:
I can look at the code. I can study it. I can see what
${APPLICATION} is doing, and how the developer designed it. This, in
itself, makes me better at what I do, and better at troubleshooting my
own code.
On the same note, free software enables me to get experience with more
applications without burning through my wallet. :)
Your input would be really appreciated.

The number of IT staff is kept to a minimum, and let's face it, it's easier/cheaper to find an employee with a Windows background than it is someone who has extensive real-world open source operations experience.

cyrus-imapd spawning multiple processes

If first - then we should not care how much more/less money people will pay as a gift every time we post. If second - then please Owners declare it clearly and just add statement about this. Anyway - Do users of any commercial product support list must think if their words will lower the selling of the product? i don't think so.

As you can see if you look through their product listings ( http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/#e7501 ) Supermicro has several other similar models, some of which are equipped with one Gigabit NIC and one 100Mbit NIC much like you seem to have..

The obvious reason is that there is two different ethernet controllers on that board - one Gigabit and one 100Mbit. It is worth noting that according to the above, they are found on different PCI-buses, while the dual-gigabit controller you thought you had is a single chip where obviously both ports would be connected to the same bus. I have tried both 7.1 and 7.2 So is the information on the board wrong or is there something I am missing. Most likely you have a different motherboard than you think you have.

I have a 1u rack system that has one of these motherboards http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/E7501/X5DPR-iG2+.cfm Are you *sure* that you actually have that particular motherboard? As you can see if you look through their product listings ( http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/#e7501 ) Supermicro has several other similar models, some of which are equipped with one Gigabit NIC and one 100Mbit NIC much like you seem to have.. Now according to where I got the server and that page it is supposed to have dual gigabit nics on board. Dmesg shows the following em0: Intel PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.6 port 0x3000-0x301f mem 0xfc22-0xfc23,0xfc20-0xfc21 irq 31 at device 4.0 on pci3 em0: [FILTER] em0: Ethernet address: 00:30:48:24:84:f2 fxp0: Intel 82550 Pro/100 Ethernet port 0x4400-0x443f mem 0xfc321000-0xfc321fff,0xfc30-0xfc31 irq 17 at device 2.0 on pci4 miibus0: MII bus on fxp0 inphy0: i82555 10/100 media interface PHY 1 on miibus0 inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto fxp0: Ethernet address: 00:30:48:24:84:f3 fxp0: [ITHREAD] Now for reasons I can not fathom, one nic is showing just fine and the other is using a different driver and only speeds of upto 100mbs. The obvious reason is that there is two different ethernet controllers on that board - one Gigabit and one 100Mbit. It is worth noting that according to the above, they are found on different PCI-buses, while the dual-gigabit controller you thought you had is a single chip where obviously both ports would be connected to the same bus. I have tried both 7.1 and 7.2 So is the information on the board wrong or is there something I am missing. Most likely you have a different motherboard than you think you have. The *complete* dmesg output as well as the output of 'pciconf -lv' might be useful in determining what you actually have. (Opening the box and checking for any useful labels on the motherboard can also of course be useful, but is not something we can help you doing.) Using kenv smbios.system.product might be a good indication of what you have too. Good luck.

For example - programs that runs for long time constantly and uses CPU gets automatically downgraded so your newly run backup task can make them really out of CPU power. man nice will help you - get your backup program priority down.

Dns is probably fairly busy. It's the primary authorative dns for some busy domains. Is there a setting I can do to increase the limits of UDP packets to keep it from causing problems? The server is approaching it's 10 mbps interface speed during peak hours, I may need to upgrade it to 100mbps. i experienced all 3 cases. last is of course easiest to detect.

When I run the command, other critical programs fail to respond causing an 'outage-like' situation. Normally, this is a time-of-day task and will run happily later into the night, but I want to run it now. What is the best way to set priority on my task in order to ensure it completes as quickly as possible, but does not cause a situation where other programs and their children can't respond? You can use nice(1) or renice(1) to set priorities, but I/O and bandwidth will end up being your bottleneck. Thanks Glen, I'll have to play around a bit. Looking closer, it does appear to be a disk I/O issue, but I figured that if I tried to prioritize the job, it might ease-up on all system aspects. Cheers, Steve Hi Steve, I had the same situation here, and nice(1) wasn't cutting it for me. I finally switched to idprio(1): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=idpriosourceid=opensearch idprio 31 mysqldump . will run only when other processes are idle. That should prevent any further self-incurred DOS symptoms for you. Cheers, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.

Before I ask how mysqldump works, I'll have to do some research on when/how/if/how long it holds the db tables unreadable/unwritable during it's process, if it does it at all.
