It's a 14 bay drive, and he's currently got seven 32G drives stuck in it, configured with RAID-0. This is the original 200G drive I was talking about. It's a few years old. Over the next few years, this guy is going to need lots of storage for his videos. After a bit of reading, I'm wondering if the best idea might be to toss out those 32G drives and replace them with 3 big (say, 300G) drives configured with RAID-5. It sounds to me like a RAID-5 array can be expanded by adding new drives. QUESTION: is expansion normally a matter of just plugging in a new drive? Is the new drive automatically grafted onto the old drives? Or do you have to go through a process like, backing up the data, plugging in the new drive, reformatting the expanded array of drives, and restoring the data. I don't know the brand/model of the RAID drive chassis, but the client thinks it can be switched to use RAID 5. I'm waiting for the technical details, but assuming it can handle RAID-5 for now. Answering my own question... So its a HP 6402 / 128 RAID controller. From a quick skim of the manual, it looks like the controller has to go through an 'expansion' process when adding a new drive. This sounds time consuming, but more or less automatic -- i.e., handled by the controller. Sounds like this might be the best way to go. It's been a while since I dealt with HP SCSI RAID, but ISTR that you'd need to install and configure the 3 disks as a RAID 5 set, copy the data from the 7x36GB array to the new array, (using a temporary mount point, generally, and dump | restore) switch the mount points across so that the /videos tree is the new copy, then remove the RAID0 set from the controller. You may or may not find that the RAID controller changes LUN IDs after a cold start too, so LUN 1 (new RAID 5) suddenly becomes LUN 0 on the cold start after the old RAID set is decommissioned and pulled. This is often accompanied by a heart attack on the part of the person restarting the server. After that, though, expansion is a cinch - but it will be quite slow since it needs to read and write the entire content of all disks. I'd therefore go as many spindles as you can - 3 disks, 5 disks and 9 disks are what I recall as being optimal groups for RAID 5. Also consider that you can supplement the RAIDs with the BSD tools previously mentioned. Today is 3 x 300GB. Tomorrow add another 3 x 300 (assuming IOPS is OK) and concatenate them to be a 1.8TB disk - 2D+P + 2D+P.

Is it possible to use the second drive to 'expand' the /videos file system? So it would miraculously look like a single 400G drive? The canonical way of doing this is to either create a RAID-0 concat or stripe volume. Using RAID-0 striping is preferred due to performance, but you'd need to backup, reformat using a RAID-0 stripe, and then restore your data onto the new volume. In theory, setting up a concat is less intrusive, but if the data is already mounted and in use, you'll probably still need to unmount it first.

It really depends on what the system is doing. If for example it is purely acting as a filer I would always use software raid. The main reason for this is that you benefit from the faster CPU, and more intelligent raid software (zfs). You are also not tied to a particular hardware platform which makes future upgrades easier.

Intel PCI-E 4965AGN wireless iwn(4) isn't detected on Compaq 6715s laptop - USB bus?
Hi I've HP Compaq 6715s laptop. I'm trying to get wireless working. The laptop has Intel 4965 4965AGN wireless WiFi PCI-E card 802.11N AGN which is supported by iwn(4). I compiled iwn support into the kernel as suggested by the man page. However, the card doesn't appear in dmesg or in pciconf -lv. The laptop has a wireless toggle button, which is supposed to enable/disable wireless. There is also an LED, which lights on when wireless is enabled, and goes off when wireless is off. Well, at least this is what should happen. On boot the LED is on. If I press the button to disable wireless, the LED goes off and in dmesg I see: ugen0.2: Broadcom Corp at usbus0 (disconnected) When I switch wireless back on again I see in dmesg: ugen0.2: Broadcom Corp at usbus0 Does this mean that wireless sits on USB bus? Does this give me a clue about how to debug the problem further? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ 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

On occassion you will find that bugs are found with updates and that a new version will be bumped a day or so later, but someone has to find the bugs!

Re: apps update from ports
I was wondering about your update strategy. Do you update your apps as soon as a new version is available in the ports ? Or do you follow the if it works, don't touch it strategy ? There is no one strategy that pleases everyone. You'll have to consider the time required to perform updates (including some time for configuring and learning how to use the new software, and for recovering from occasional problems), and weigh that against the benefits (if any) of having new software. Some people prefer to use the latest software, and others may use a snapshot of the ports tree that coincides with a stable release, updating only those ports with known critical security problems in between releases. Sometimes, you may wish to make this decision on a port-by-port basis. I'm guessing portupgrade is your preferred way of doing this hence, do you also choose -P or -PP ? If you don't need to build from source, in order to use non-default options or flags, or get the very latest versions of the port, then packages are a good choice. In addition to portupgrade, the comparatively lightweight ports-mgmt/portmaster port also has this functionality. b. ___ 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

Re: 1 file system, 2 drives?
krad wrote: [snip] If you have hardware controller with RAID capabilities, using native RAID is better, otherwise look towards gvinum or maybe ccd; see also: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/raid.html [snip] I dont agree that hardware raid is necessarily better. It really depends on what the system is doing. If for example it is purely acting as a filer I would always use software raid. The main reason for this is that you benefit from the faster CPU, and more intelligent raid software (zfs). You are also not tied to a particular hardware platform which makes future upgrades easier. In the bad old days (early) days hardware RAID was clearly better. This is not as true today as CPUs have scaled. The 3GHz plus quad cores of today have cycles to spare and can actually make software RAID faster in many situations. The questionable area would be RAID 5 and 6. The XOR processing done in the hardware controller is expensive, and hardware RAID is still probably a better way to go here. Other features such as hot swap, hot spare, scrubbing, and maintenance/monitoring utilities will be easier to find in the hardware RAID controller. If however the system is doing lots of other things and you dont want the overhead of a software raid solution, it makes sense to offload it to a hardware solution Very expensive controllers are expensive because the processor on the card has more horsepower, which typically shows up in IO/s numbers as well as throughput as multi-thread queue depths rise. It is a shame to need to spend serious money on these cards just to get the inherent raw processor power even though you may turn off the RAID functionality and instead use ZFS and raidz. There is still a performance advantage to be seen because of the higher processing power available from a controller processor that has bigger umphh. -Mike ___ 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

Re: Upgrade 6.4-stable to 7.3

Given that I have console access to this machine, and I want to preserve the user directories (it's our mail server) would I be better off doing a source upgrade or a binary upgrade? Since you are running 6.4-STABLE, I think you will have to do a source upgrade. AFAIK binary upgrades are only supported when going from one -RELEASE to another (so 6.4-RELEASE to 7.3-RELEASE should be possible with a binary upgrade, 6.4-STABLE to 7.3-RELEASE would not.) In the past, I've usually done a wipe-and-reinstall when moving between major version numbers but I would rather avoid that this time around. Also, would people recommend staying with version 7.3 or jumping all the way to version 8.1 ? Unless you have some specific reason to use 7.3 you might as well go all the way up to 8.1. You should probably do it in two steps though - first from 6.4 to 7.3 and then from 7.3 to 8.1 Just remember to make good backups first, just in case something goes wrong. (There should not be any serious problems involved - the source upgrades I have done from 6.x to 7.x and later from 7.x to 8.x were fairly uneventful - but you never know what might happen.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.

possible NFS lockups

Re: apps update from ports

Do you update your apps as soon as a new version is available in the ports ? Or do you follow the if it works, don't touch it strategy ? I think you will get similar answers, but let me tell you a few words about my individual update strategy: I DO BOTH. For servers, especially where I run critical apps, I follow the bugs and announce lists (of the installed programs) to decide if an update is required due to security reasons, then I update. Also, customer requirements are important. If a functionality is required that is only provided by a newer version, then I also update. Finally, when I want to test out new features, both in OS and applications, I usually go with bleeding edge. I'm often surprised to see how well things do work. For my home system, as I have quite static requirements, I go with no broke, no repair. That's why I'm still on version 7 here, and everything works. Due to the fact that my hardware here is not bleeding edge, I can't afford most modern applications, e. g. compiling OpenOffice is a no-go here. So my installation stays the same for a very long time, usually until it breaks (as it happened to be beloved version 5 system which did run PERFECTLY, until total file system crash). I like the concept of install once, then use, but it doesn't always fit, as to be seen in the first examples. I also have machines that have been set into work many years ago, e. g. a 300 MHz P2. I do not touch it in any way as I don't want to lose its functionality. So I don't update anything there. It's no problem as there are no security considerations related to such specific systems. I'm guessing portupgrade is your preferred way of doing this hence, do you also choose -P or -PP ? No, if I want to go with packages (I really like them), I use pkg_add -r. When I did use portupgrade, make and pkg_add altogether, pkgdb -aF was a helpful tool. In fact, there are few cases when I really have to compile things myself (e. g. X without HAL/DBUS stuff, OpenOffice, which I don't compile, mplayer, where several options have to be set to make it usable, and very few others). Precompiled packages are a very comfortable way of installing software in short time. I've been advised that portmaster is, in some regards, the better port management program. I've tried it out and found that it's really good. There are also others, like portmanager, but I haven't tried this one yet, so I can't tell you how it fits into the picture. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Real-Time Video Recording (ionice equivalent)
Hi, I'm looking for a ionice equivalent for FreeBSD. Let suppose that I setup a NAS using FreeBSD. I can substain 50MiB/s writing. Let suppose that I have a 720p security camera, writing at 2 MiB/s in a file. Then I have 10 users copying files around. All of this activity (camera + users) through Samba, so each connection has a dedicated process. Problem is that I want to give camera's maximal priority to guarantee smooth recording. I don't expect Samba to use much CPU, 99% should be spent in IO. So if I set the nice value of camera's process to Real-Time, it should do much, because its process will be on wait status most of the time. Consequently, when some IO requests coming from camera's process are in the queue, I want them to have top priority compared to requests coming from other processes. As the camera is limited to 2MiB/s, I expect the system to remain responsive. I know that seeks may lower the speed of the HDD, but as the HDD is slowing down, completing requests, I expect the number of camera IO requests to increase in the queue, and to be packed together, hopefully, stabilizing the number of seeks. BTW, I would use root preexec setting of Samba to execute a shell script for each new connection, giving best priority to the process if the user is camera. Any idea?

Since you are running 6.4-STABLE, I think you will have to do a source upgrade. AFAIK binary upgrades are only supported when going from one -RELEASE to another (so 6.4-RELEASE to 7.3-RELEASE should be possible with a binary upgrade, 6.4-STABLE to 7.3-RELEASE would not.) In the past, I've usually done a wipe-and-reinstall when moving between major version numbers but I would rather avoid that this time around. Also, would people recommend staying with version 7.3 or jumping all the way to version 8.1 ? Unless you have some specific reason to use 7.3 you might as well go all the way up to 8.1. You should probably do it in two steps though - first from 6.4 to 7.3 and then from 7.3 to 8.1 Just remember to make good backups first, just in case something goes wrong.

I jumped to a conclusion, but I'll stand by it until someone shows me the ancient common source. I don't recall anything that looks much like Beastie in Greek art. Perhaps there are some ancient depictions/sculptures of the greek god Pan (god of the shepherds) around? Pan partially resembles a goat. The BSD daemon doesn't look like a goat (or Pan) at all. Maybe he has cloven hooves inside those tennis shoes; I don't know. But Pan could certainly have had some influence on how the Devil was traditionally drawn. My point wasn't that there is no earlier source that traditional depictions of the Devil draw on. They aren't based on anything in the Bible, so it seems quite likely that there is.

mount_autofs
Hi, I see that in /usr/src there are some things related to mount_autofs, but none of this is compiled or installed during the buildworld/buildkernel process. If I build mount_autofs by hand: cd /usr/src/sbin/mount_autofs make make install I get a binary that runs, but always complains: mount: Operation not supported by device Our network has a huge existing user base (thousands of computers and thousands of users) that are on Mac client, Linux clients, Linux servers and SunOS servers that all use autofs automount maps distributed via LDAP. I'm pushing hard for us to start using FreeBSD for some things, but the lack of an automounter that is compatible with the maps that we're already distributing for these other OSs is a show-stopper. Making a static copy of the mount maps for FreeBSD use is not going to work (for one thing, the maps change too frequently, and anyhow there are thousands of mount points and we don't want them all mounted on our BSD boxes all of the time) and I tried to get AMD to work using exec maps but found it to be incredibly unstable (and in fact AMD locked up my machine several times during the course of experimentation, requiring an actual power cycle to get the system responding again). I had a chat with Alfred Perlstein who worked on some autofs-compatible stuff back in about 2004 for FreeBSD that was dropped because of pressure by Apple. He thinks that the current Apple autofs might be licensed under the ASPL but doesn't have the bandwidth to do any work on porting that to FreeBSD.

Re: [IDS-12680263] 28amen.org : trying to portinstall ffmpeg
I am posting this to both viaverio and the freeBSD lists because the one suggests I get help from the other. On 07/28/2010 09:45 AM, Mark S wrote: Hello John, Thank you for contacting Verio Technical Support. Unfortunately, we really have no expertise with ffmpeg as it's not software that Verio provides. The mailing lists are really the best place to get help. One thing you might try is to uninstall ffmpeg by running a make deinstall from the port's directory and then rebuild it now that you apparently have a good copy of xz. I've done that,,, several times. I thought I had mentioned it... sorry. As a last resort you could simply download a binary copy of ffmpeg for FreeBSD 6.3 from ftp.freebsd.org. FreeBSD pkgs are installed with pkg_add packagename.tgz. Since you've already built the bulk of dependencies from ports you might run into incompatibilities with this method. What about sudo portupgrade -faP ? Do you see a downside there? I'm thinking that since viaverio has apparently not maintained the port systems on its FreeBSD v6.3 servers that they may be in a state inconsistent with the port systems on which other ports were created. My first attempt to install ffmpog was sudo portinstall ffmpeg which downloaded a lot of code and compiled it. Maybe some was incompatible with code already on my server? Maybe running an upgrade of the entire ports system on my server will fix my problem? It'll take a while, I'm sure, but I'm wasting time right now trying to get ffmpeg installed. Of course, I don't want to break any(every)thing else on the system! So my question is... what do you think of sudo portupgrade -faP ? Can it hurt? Do you think it might help? If I cannot do that I guess I will go to the FreeBSD archives and try to find a binary of the ffmpeg program... Thanks for taking the time to help me.

vmware and freebsd 8

First, top-posting on this list is considered rude. Please don't do that. Sorry, I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just didn't know the traditions of this mailing-list, I'll be careful from now on. If you're running 8.1, try man gsched, it's new and haven't tried it. Excellent! I can use 8.1, it's for a new setup. Other than that, the traditional way would be to give higher priority to the process that needs it. It's the poor man's io scheduler, but it generally does work well. If you have lots of concurrent io and are running a UFS file-system, consider running gjournal as it scales those requests better. Also if you're hardware supports it, NCQ is available via the ahci and a few other modules. It will make your requests more efficient. Thank you for your tips. I'm happy that I will be able to use FreeBSD for this job.

Re: Upgrading Apache fails - Solved
Hello, I had to pkg_delete both apache22 and apr1, pkgdb -F, then reinstall apache22, but all is well now. I followed the original suggestions from UPDATING 1. pkg_delete -f apache-2.\* 2. portupgrade -f -o devel/apr1 devel/apr 3. portinstall www/apache22 However, I get the following then: checking for APR... configure: error: the --with-apr parameter is incorrect. It must specify an install prefix, a build directory, or an apr-config file. === Script configure failed unexpectedly. Please report the problem to apa...@freebsd.org [maintainer] and attach the /usr/ports/www/apache22/work/httpd-2.2.16/config.log including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache22. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache22. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portinstall20100728-30282-trybeq-0 env make ** Fix the problem and try again. ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) ! www/apache22 (configure error) When I check pkg_info -Ix apr, I get: pkg_info -Ix apr apr-ipv6-devrandom-gdbm-db42-mysql50-1.4.2.1.3.9_1 Apache Portability Library xf86dgaproto-2.0.3 XFree86-DGA extension headers xineramaproto-1.1.2 Xinerama extension headers Do you think I should delete the apr port before attempting to install apache again?
