The old one was a home-grown combination of hardware, fitting into a 2U chassis. For its replacement however, I am looking for a more professional system, including professional (hardware) support if needed, because I will be trying to run some paid services of it. Something from a vendor like Dell, IBM or HP/Compaq. Something that preferably fits into 1U and can give me some degree of hardware fault tolerance like a raid5 built-in on 3 disks. I have seen something like this coming from Dell for example (allthough I'd really rather use 2x AMD64, which Dell doesn't do ..) Anyway, who is using FreeBSD in a professional world on hardware like this ? Anyone with a recommendation? This 'swap' won't happen untill Q4 this year, so it will be running 5-STABLE then. Please take this new platform into consideration for when recommending new hardware. Although I can highly recommend Dell systems, FreeBSD has an annoying bug wrt to their 1U system (the Poweredge 1750) where the SCSI bus will hang if you have more than one device installed at boot time. This apparently doesn't happen if you have the $400 RAID option card installed; it only happens when the SCSI bus is a plain SCSI bus. Other than that, I've been very happy with Poweredges. We also have 2650 running FreeBSD 4.10, and it's been a pleasure to work with. It's blazingly fast (especially compared to our old dual P-III setup), reliable, and has FreeBSD support for *everything*. There's a software utility for the PERC RAID card (aaccli), a kernel support for the remote-access controller, etc. I'd highly recommend it. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgp3IUGX3xVRI.pgp Description: PGP signature

It depends on how much email these users are generating. I'm an admin for a small CS department at a liberal arts college. We support around 250 users (math, physics, CS, alums, and professors).

We run Sendmail with MailScanner, which in turn invokes its own testing rubrics and disarming routines along with SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Benchmarking this system indicated that we could process over 1,000,000 messages a day. And with MailScanner, incoming mail will queue up if MailScanner can't keep up for a while, so you never actually send back the temporary failure codes you have to use with milters.

read vs. mmap (or io vs. page faults)
Hello!
I'm writing a message-digest utility, which operates on file and
can use either stdio:
while (not eof) {
char buffer[BUFSIZE];
size = read( buffer ...);
process(buffer, size);
}
or mmap:
buffer = mmap(... file_size, PROT_READ ...);
process(buffer, file_size);
I expected the second way to be faster, as it is supposed to avoid
one memory copying (no user-space buffer). But in reality, on a
CPU-bound (rather than IO-bound) machine, using mmap() is considerably
slower. Here are the tcsh's time results:
Single Pentium2-400MHz running 4.8-stable:
--
stdio: 56.837u 34.115s 2:06.61 71.8% 66+193k 11253+0io 3pf+0w
mmap: 72.463u 7.534s 2:34.62 51.7%5+186k 105+0io 22328pf+0w
Dual Pentium2 Xeon 450MHz running recent -current:
--
stdio: 36.557u 29.395s 3:09.88 34.7% 10+165k 32646+0io 0pf+0w
mmap: 42.052u 7.545s 2:02.25 40.5%10+169k 16+0io 15232pf+0w
On the IO-bound machine, using mmap is only marginally faster:
Single Pentium4M (Centrino 1GHz) runing recent -current:
stdio: 27.195u 8.280s 1:33.02 38.1%10+169k 11221+0io 1pf+0w
mmap: 26.619u 3.004s 1:23.59 35.4%10+169k 47+0io 19463pf+0w
Notice the last two columns in time's output -- why is page-faulting a
page in -- on-demand -- so much slower then read()-ing it? I even tried
inserting ``madvise(buffer, file_size, MADV_SEQUENTIAL)'' between the
mmap() and the process() -- made difference at all (or made the mmap()
take slightly longer)...
I this how things are supposed to be, or will mmap() become more
efficient eventually? Thanks!

I even tried inserting ``madvise(buffer, file_size, MADV_SEQUENTIAL)'' between the mmap() and the process() -- made difference at all (or made the mmap() take slightly longer)... MADV_SEQUENTIAL just lets the system expire already-read blocks from its cache faster, so it won't help much here. read() should cause some prefetching to occur, but it obviously doesn't work all the time or else inblock wouldn't have been as high as 11000.

Fresh Installing FreeBSD 5.0 Release
I was currently getting help from a person for getting my wireless pc card working on my laptop when we both came to the conclusion that my kernel source had either not been installed, or was hiding very well. I wasn't able to get a hold of the original install cd so I used a 5.0 release from a family members collection. I attempted to remove 4.9 and cleanly install 5.0 onto the laptop but ran into some interesting errors and it has put me in quite a bind. The drive for which I'm wanting to install FreeBSD on has been whipped clean but the 5.0 install cd hangs up when loading device drivers for the kernel. At the moment I'm stuck on what to do myself, if there is a way to get the drive formatted so that I can try a clean install of 5.0 that would be great, but if not, 4.9 installed very cleanly.

read() is likely going to be faster because it does not involve any
page fault overhead. The VM system only faults 16 or so pages ahead
which is only 64KB, so the fault overhead is very high for the data rate.
Why does the extra copy not matter? Well, it's fairly simple, actually.
It's because your buffer is smaller then the L1 cache, and/or also simply
because the VM fault overhead is higher then it would take to copy
an extra 64KB.
read() loops typically use buffer sizes in the 8K-46K range. L1 caches
are typically 16K (for celeron class cpus) through 64K, or more for
higher end cpus. L2 caches are typically 256K-1MB, or more. The copy
bandwidth from or to the L1 cache is usually around 10x faster then main
memory and the copy bandwidth from or two L2 cache is usually
around 4x faster. (Note that I'm talking copy bandwidth here, not random
access. The L1 cache is ~50x faster or more for random access).
So the cost of the extra copy in a read() loop using a reasonable buffer
size (~8K-64K) (L1 or L2 access) is virtually nil compared to the cost
of accessing the kernel's buffer cache (which involves main memory
accesses for files L2 cache).
:On the IO-bound machine, using mmap is only marginally faster:
:
: Single Pentium4M (Centrino 1GHz) runing recent -current:
:
:stdio: 27.195u 8.280s 1:33.02 38.1%10+169k 11221+0io 1pf+0w
:mmap: 26.619u 3.004s 1:23.59 35.4%10+169k 47+0io 19463pf+0w
Yes, because it's I/O bound. As long as the kernel queues some readahead
to the device it can burn those cpu cycles on whatever it wants without
really effecting the transfer rate.
:I this how things are supposed to be, or will mmap() become more
:efficient eventually? Thanks!
:
: -mi
It's hard to say. mmap() could certainly be made more efficient, e.g.
by faulting in more pages at a time to reduce the actual fault rate.
But it's fairly difficult to beat a read copy into a small buffer.

Check to see what other scripts are in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (I'm guessing that's how you're firing it up on startup) and see if Python has some sort of startup script in there.

wierd router crashes...
Hiya I'm trying to get a FreeBSD box set up as a router between my cable internet connection and my home LAN.

I've recompiled the original kernel to include ipfw support. My firewall ruleset is: add 1 divert 8668 ip from any to any via tl0 add 6 allow ip from any to any add 11010 allow tcp from any to any established add 11100 deny log tcp from any to tl0 where tl0 is the external interface and rl0 is the internal one. I've got everything up and running, got the external interface registered with my ISP, and can connect to the internet fine (http, ftp, ports all work). I've set the box up to DHCP for its external IP (which it does fine), and to use 192.168.1.1 for the internal one. The problems come in when I try to use a machine on the internal LAN - the router locks solid - no response to anything at all. It passes a few packets to start with, but then dies. After reboot, there are no suspicious entries in the logs, at least none that I can find. So long as I don't do anything on the internal LAN, everything runs perfectly! I've tried disabling all extraneous things (sendmail, etc.), to no avail. I'm not sure what to try next, as I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and firewalls / routers in general. Hlp!

Re: Any 4.10 installation on asus pundit ?
The problem is I'm not a system developper either, and I only had the iso images for installation, so I will have to find a way to apply the patch. You'll need the kernel sources installed. Then apply the patch and then re-compile the kernel. Basically you just need to add on line of code in the right place. If you have got the sources from CD and not updated them you will not need to rebuild the userland. Check the handbook for details (chapter 9). In addition, I can't find the bfe0 network driver for the Broadcom BCM4401 in the kernel configuration, but the 4.10 release notes told the bfe should be in. From bfe(4): The bfe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1. Actually I forgot that 5.1 was released before 4.10 - my mistake. Indeed the driver seems to have been ported back to the 4-Stable branch. Yes, but in http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/errata.html : (27 May 2004) The bfe(4) driver for Broadcom BCM4401 based Fast Ethernet adapters has been added but the release notes did not mention that. I think you just need to add a line that reads device bfe to your kernel config file and the rebuild the kernel.

The use of the skipto rule to control what ip address goes into the dynamic keep-state table, IE the lan ip or the natd public ip. The bottom line is native ipfw with natd and stateful rules does not work together at all, unless you do some gymnastics with skipto rule so the dynamic keep-state table always has the private lan ip address for matching against. Yes, this is the mechanism I cannot find a clear explanation for. Can you recommend a link to a page that defines how IPFW stumbles on NAT and keep-state, because I've read and re-read the IPFW man page, and it does me no good whatsoever. NAT and keep-state doesn't go to getter because NAT changes the ip address and this cause ipfw not to recornise the rules.

Second problem is you are allowing every thing out your firewall. This is very bad as it allows out any trojons or spy-ware from windows boxs on your lan so thet can report their harvested info to the person who planted them.

Re: wierd router crashes...

My firewall ruleset is: add 1 divert 8668 ip from any to any via tl0 add 6 allow ip from any to any add 11010 allow tcp from any to any established add 11100 deny log tcp from any to tl0 where tl0 is the external interface and rl0 is the internal one. I've got everything up and running, got the external interface registered with my ISP, and can connect to the internet fine (http, ftp, ports all work). I've set the box up to DHCP for its external IP (which it does fine), and to use 192.168.1.1 for the internal one. The problems come in when I try to use a machine on the internal LAN - the router locks solid - no response to anything at all. It passes a few packets to start with, but then dies. After reboot, there are no suspicious entries in the logs, at least none that I can find. So long as I don't do anything on the internal LAN, everything runs perfectly! I've tried disabling all extraneous things (sendmail, etc.), to no avail. I'm not sure what to try next, as I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and firewalls / routers in general. Hlp!

What are you using to let your internal LAN connect to the outside world? Are you using a proxy server or natd or something else? If you're using natd, do make sure that you're routing it to the right NIC (Your external NIC to your ISP should be in the natd_interface section at /etc/rc.conf) If that's not the case, I can't really think of something else. You're saying that 5.2.1 is not able to locate your harddrive at all? And you just have a simple ATA controller with nothing else? It should be working just fine then. Perhaps that your installation media was bad or there is a hardware problem with your machine. I never seen 5.2.1 not being able to detect a proper working IDE drive.

Partition sizes for small harddisk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on an older computer with a 852 MB hard disk. According to the handbook, 250 MB should suffice for text mode only. However, both the User and (retried) Minimal distributions left me with no space in /usr I used the default partitioning (entire disk) and said No to the ports and linux compatibility prompts. First, a question: what do you want this machine to do? 852 MB should be enough. Go with a Custom installation, and you'll need to be utterly ruthless about not installing unneeded distribution sets. Once you're up and running: a) compile a custom kernel, and b) change the settings on newsyslog so you don't keep excess files laying around.

No, you should not assume that running the command from an interactive

You were correct! I've added PATH=${PATH}:%%PREFIX%%/bin to the sample

must admit I can see a situation where somebody might install my port in

that nicely.

natd translating ip and udp packets but not tcp..
Greetings and salutations; I am having a puzzling issue with natd under FreeBSD 5.2, in which it will translate icmp and udp packets just fine, but tcp connections from the inside network to the outside world cannot be established. I can lookup hostnames, ping etc. from the internal client box, but cannot establish a connection to any tcp-based service. Consider my configuration, with addresses changed to implicate the guilty: Gateway internal interface: xl1 Gateway internal ip: 192.168.0.1/24 Client internal ip: 192.168.0.2 Gateway external interface: xl0 Gateway external ip: 131.107.3.124 Proper kernel options in place. ipfw configuration (more or less): 050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0 100 allow ip from any to any natd running properly against xl0 I can provide more detailed information (tcpdumps, etc) if requested.

Re: read vs. mmap (or io vs. page faults)
Hmm. Well, you can try calling madvise(... MADV_WILLNEED), that's what it is for. It is usually a bad idea to try to populate the page table with all resident pages associated with the a memory mapping, because mmap() is often used to map huge files... hundreds of megabytes or even dozens of gigabytes (on 64 bit architectures). The last thing you want to do is to populate the page table for the entire file. It might work for your particular program, but it is a bad idea for the OS to assume that for every mmap(). What it comes down to, really, is whether you feel you actually need the additional performance, because it kinda sounds to me that whatever processing you are doing to the data is either going to be I/O bound, or it isn't going to run long enough for the additional overhead to matter verses the processing overhead of the program itself. If you are really worried you could pre-fault the mmap before you do any processing at all and measure the time it takes to pre-fault the pages vs the time it takes to process the memory image.

Re: Partition sizes for small harddisk
--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: Hi I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on an older computer with a 852 MB hard disk. According to the handbook, 250 MB should suffice for text mode only. However, both the User and (retried) Minimal distributions left me with no space in /usr I used the default partitioning (entire disk) and said No to the ports and linux compatibility prompts. Hi there for such small disk I'll go for a / partition only that way you can avoid complications in the near future Jorge _ Do You Yahoo!? Información de Estados Unidos y América Latina, en Yahoo!
