On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 02:11:27 +0100 Anthony Atkielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Scott Bennett writes: SB I notice that the 5.2.1 boot messages refer to the second core as an SB AP, which I'm guessing stands for attached processor. If that SB guess is correct, then it means that only the first core is able to SB perform certain functions, and the AP core has to get the first core SB to do those things for it when it needs them done. AP just stands for application processor, from what I've seen. My impression from snooping in the code and looking elsewhere is that an AP is just a processor that is halted during system boot. The processor that executes the boot sequence is the bootstrap processor (BSP). Once the boot proceeds far enough to allow synchronization of multiple processors, the other processors (APs all) are started by the BSP. Oh, good. That sounds much better than what I was thinking. This doesn't necessarily mean that the BSP is special in any other way outside of startup or shutdown, and hopefully it is not, as that would defeat much of the conceptual purpose behind SMP. I know that on operating systems that insist on keeping one processor special for certain tasks, the speed of this processor often becomes a bottleneck on heavily loaded systems, as it tops out trying to handle all the restricted stuff for the other processors and itself. Usually that sort of restriction has a basis in hardware. For example, IBM's MP mainframes *used to* require that the same processor that started an I/O operation be the one that fielded the interrupt(s) upon completion of the operation. Some machines also had the main processor/attached processor configuration, in which the attached processor had no access to the I/O hardware at all, so all I/O handling had to be done by the main processor because the AP had no way to do it. SB What Intel claims is essentially that the HT-enabled CPUs allow SB snappier responses in interactive processes when a CPU-bound process SB is running. That I can believe. One of the great advantages to a multiple-processor system is that it's much less likely to bog down if a process decides to hog a processor (unless the process runs multiple threads). I think MP is more interesting for its ability to run completely independent processes or threads than it is for its ability to run multiple threads doing the same thing. Few applications require multiple high-speed processors churning through code all at once. My main interest in such things at present is for dividing the workload in fluid dynamics and, most especially, geophysical fluid dynamics models. Those, of course, do immense amounts of number-crunching with occasional, massive bouts of I/O. I want to play around with making a two-threaded version of a GFD model (either atmospheric or oceanic) to see what, if any, savings there may be in elapsed time by running on both cores vs. just one. Such a model would have both threads doing essentially the same things, though operating upon different parts of the arrays involved. But first, I still have to get a usable FreeBSD system going. :-( Scott Bennett, Comm.

Re: 4.9 rebooting
I would agree with looking into hardware problems - I have a MSI-694 dual proc machine that about two or three months ago started rebooting once or twice a week for no apparent reason, then one hot day it became several times a day and I shut it down before going away for xmas. Now it won't even attempt to start with both cpu's - with one it will boot but at one of the hardware probes (just after keyboard) it restarts, as if someone is hitting the reset button. If it is failing hardware you may find no indication of the fault - the faulty hardware may cause the same effect as someone pressing the reset button - your logs would show normal operation then dmesg would show system boot with disks unmounted properly and starting (or delaying) fsck.

Re: Production Release 5.3 Installation Won't Boot
Greetings, Thank you for your quick response. The CD image itself was fine--the 5.3 installation disc booted on a newer laptop. I finally gave up and used floppies and was able to install 5.3 from CD on the pentium mmx desktop. This is strange because the 4.8 installation cd booted fine on the same pentium desktop. One difference between 4.8 5.3 is that the 5.3 loads ACPI , but is the ACPI module loaded in the installation kernel? Is it an interrupt problem? I don't know. But I do have 5.3 running happily on it now thanks to teh floppies. (sorry if I don't understand the FreeBSD kernel or if I'm using the wrong terminology. In GNU/Linux I believe ACPI must be compiled into the kernel.) thank you gods (devils) of FreeBSD. FYI, this pentium mmx machine running 5.3 is a ROCKET even when compared to an optimally compiled Gentoo Linux kernel. I have never seen any machine boot as fast, restart apache serve webpages as fast as this, and it's only a pentium mmx. wow. --- Fabian Keil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Friday 31 December 2004 14:03, Andrew L.

Three of them are running FreeBSD 4.8 or 4.9 without a hitch. I decided to install 5.3 from CD on a fourth box and I am having a problem. I go through the install process. When it goes to write the file structure to the drives it does this in a around 1 second - this seems very fast.

So this has started me troubleshooting the possible causes of the problem: 1) First stop was to suspect the freebsd iso I had burnt was suspect. So I re burnt the cd and the problem persisted. I then suspected the ISO I had downloaded was corrupted. So I downloaded it again, burnt the cd but the problem still persisted. 2) I then suspected the second copy could have come from a cache and therefore may have the same problem as the first copy - so I checked the md5 signature but it lines up with the original from freebsd.org 3) I suspected the CD Rom drive - so I swapped it with one of our other Netserver boxes - problem still persisted. 4)I suspected a drive formatting problem - so I went back into the SCSI software, redid the raid drives and reformatted them - problem still persisted. 5) I suspected another hardware problem - so I pulled out FreeBSD 4.9 to see if that would install - and it did install without any errors. That sort of discounts there being any hardware problems. It points to something specific to freebsd 5.3. So this is where I have got to - FreeBSD 4.9 will install without errors but 5.3 will not install. I suspect the problem has to do with the initial setting up of the file structure - 5.3 is doing this in about one second whereas 4.9 takes closer to a minute to do this. Any thoughts or suggestion? I believe FreeBSD 5.3 does support using UFS 1 in the install, just check the option in the disklabel program, but if the partitioning also fails then that may not be the problem.

Re: Hyperthreading hurts 5.3?
Did it start up when you replaced the fan, or was it gone for good? It was dead for good, well it is still dead as a matter of fact :) I thought all the boxed P4 processors came with their own fan, so there should never be a case in which a PC is sold with a P4 but no CPU fan. So did I, so did I, but one sees strange things when buying a machine from a cheap assembly shop (I was not the first buyer, I just got the machine when it became unusable and then I was curious so I opened it, what the first owner never did).

Cut and paste in Emacs
Hi, There is that strange and annoying behaviours that I have noticed with Emacs 21.3.1. Other versions I used to use were in the 19ish and had no problem. When I select some text with the mouse in Emacs, i can copy it into another X window application, but I cannot copy it in a Win2K application. When I select some text in any other X Window application, I can copy it into Win2k, so the mechanism select in X, paste in w2k is working. So now when I want to copy/paste from emacs to w2k, I have to paste in some other place, select again and finally paste in w2k. Any clue/help would be welcome. best regards, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FBSD boot loader?
Is there a 1024 cylinder limit on the first slice for a dual boot PC system using the FBSD boot loader? I presume there is, but I couldn't find it in the handbook. Maybe I missed it. Not if you have a reasonably recent BIOS. FreeBSD can handle it just fine as long as the BIOS can deal with it to get started. This is a question handled often and I believe there is a FAQ on it that can explain it much better than I can. jerry Thanks, John -- John Conover, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.johncon.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: gmirror problem on 5.3-R i386
Hello, I'm having a problem with gmirror. It would seem that I cannot add my first disk to the mirror after booting off the second drive. My current status is a degraded mirror and I cannot see any of the partitions on disk one. For a guide, I'm using the excellent instructions at: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ My system has identical WD 80GB SATA drives (ad4 and ad6). I've followed the steps in the document that are labeled: GEOM mirror Approach 2: Single Slice, Preferred, More Flexible # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad6 bs=512 count=79 # fdisk -v -B -I /dev/ad6 # gmirror label -v -n -b round-robin gm0s1 /dev/ad6s1 # gmirror load # bsdlabel -w -B /dev/mirror/gm0s1 # bsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/gm0s1 # newfs -U /dev/mirror/gm0s1a # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt # dump -L -0 -f- / | (cd /mnt; restore -r -v -f-) # newfs -U /dev/mirror/gm0s1d # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1d /mnt/var # dump -L -0 -f- /var | (cd /mnt/var; restore -r -v -f-) # newfs -U /dev/mirror/gm0s1e # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1e /mnt/tmp # dump -L -0 -f- /tmp | (cd /mnt/tmp; restore -r -v -f-) # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1f /mnt/usr # dump -L -0 -f- /usr | (cd /mnt/usr; restore -r -v -f-) # cp -p /mnt/etc/fstab /mnt/etc/fstab.orig # sed -e 's/dev\/ad4s1/dev\/mirror\/gm0s1/g' /mnt/etc/fstab.orig # echo 'swapoff=YES' /mnt/etc/rc.conf # echo 'geom_mirror_load=YES' /mnt/boot/loader.conf # echo 1:ad(6,a)/boot/loader /boot.config # shutdown -r now # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=79 Well, I am not so familiar with gmirror, but the dd in each case completely overwrites the slice and partition tables and any other boot stuff at the beginning of the disk with zeros. That is often done to make sure it is clear and treated as a clean disk. I see that after the first dd (to /dev/ad6) you have an fdisk which then writes a slice table. But, after the second dd (to /dev/ad4) you do not have any fdisk so it might not know what to do with that. You may need an equivalent fdisk here too. jerry # gmirror configure -a gm0s1 # gmirror insert gm0s1 /dev/ad4s1 At this point I see...

Re: Replacing both disks in RAID1
Toomas Aas wrote: I have a small server running FreeBSD 4.10, 2 x 80 GB drives mirrored on Promise TX2 integrated RAID1 controller. I'd like to replace the 80 GB drives with 200 GB drives. Here's my current plan: 1. Attach one of the new drives to free ICH4 IDE port on motherboard, partition it and transfer the data using dump/tar. 2. Remove the 80 GB drives, attach 200 GB drives (one with data, one blank) to TX2 IDE ports and re-create the mirror using Promise onboard BIOS utility. 3. Reboot, fix the fstab (if necessary) and be done with it. I have one doubt with it. Currently my partitions are ar0s1a (/), ar0s1b (swap), ar0s1e (/var) etc. When I create corresponding partitions on the new drive while it is attached to ICH4 controller, the partitions are created as ad0s1a, ad0s1b etc. When I then move this drive to TX2 port and re-create the mirror the partitions should again be ar0s1a, ar0s1b etc. Will it just work or will it not work at all? Another thought - maybe I shouldn't create the new array using the Promise BIOS utility, but instead should bring the server up and use 'atacontrol create RAID1'? What do you think?

Re: anyone using Putty and ssh-agent?
I've had similar problems with PuTTY as well...and upgrading PuTTY fixed the problem, but I'm curious about the whole PasswordAuthentication thing. I am testing out 5.3 now for our production environment, and I haven't touched the sshd config file, yet I can still login using usernames and passwords. How is this possible? And how would have upgradding PuTTY fixed this? Thanks, --Brian Similiar problems have been noted on this list before with putty, the solution was to set PasswordAuthentication to yes in your sshd_config which is disabled by default in 5.3 Nelis ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kernel panic booting 5.3 releng
Hi, Im experiancing a problem while updating my laptop to 5.3. I currently run 5.1-RELEASE version from a while back (should have updated a long time ago I know), on my Dell C840 Latitude. I followed the instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html cvsuping from the RELENG_5_3 At the point where I reboot into single user mode it all falls over. The new GENERIC kernel fails to boot, stopping after the memory detection with a kernel panic page fault 12. The instruction pointer is 0x8:0xc0621604 Digging about I found the faq here http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/advanced.html#KERNEL-PANIC-TROUBLESHOOTING After following the instructions and running the following nm -n /boot/kernel/kernel | grep 06216 I get the following two functions returned c0621664 t sysctl_bus c0621688 t sysctl_devices From this information can anyone give me an idea of whats going wrong ?, or how/where I might go about fixing it ?.

How to use X without installing X?
Hi! I have a FreeBSD 5 STABLE computer which is acting as a server. Because it doesn't need it, I don't want to install all of X -- my goal is that there shouldn't be anything that I can't do over ssh from a command-line. Unfortunately, Oracle doesn't agree with me. I need to install the Oracle client software on this computer -- it won't actually be an Oracle server, but does need to be able to connect to various other servers (mostly from PHP and DBD::Oracle). Apparently, in order to run the installer for 9i, it needs X. But, I figure it shouldn't need all of X, because I intend to connect via `ssh -X` from a different computer which is running X to actualy do the display. However, even once I've installed 'x11/xorg-libraries', when I `ssh -X` to the box $DISPLAY is not set. What is the minimum that I need to install to make this work?

Re: Memory Question
Is there something I can do in order to optimize - which in this case paradoxically would seem to mean reduce the amount of free memory? The simple answer is: Use it! Exactly how depends on what you're running. Basically, check the docs for all the stuff your server is running and see what you can do to throw more memory at it. A lot of software has docs about performance tuning, and its memory usage (and performance) can usually be cranked up. If you're using a database server, check the DB's config file (postgresql.conf or my.cnf) and allocate a bunch of memory to buffers. If you're running Apache, you can increase the spare servers; if your Apache runs Perl CGI programs, you could consider using mod_perl. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Out of the frying pan...
I just keep painting myself into corners, and I'm hoping that people can point out some (presumably dumb) things that I am doing, and recommend a course of action that will get me back to where I want to be. I have a Compaq Armada M700 on which I had installed FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE (as of February, 2004) and life was pretty good. There were a few annoyance, but it was a useful working environment. I didn't have Java running, I probably needed to find a better browser than Konqeror, and the sound, touch-pad, and suspend/resume functions didn't work, so there were things I would have liked to have improved. All that changed when I tried to install Win98SE in the lower partition I had reserved for that purpose. It totally trashed my / (with /usr) filesystem, though leaving /home (and /var) alone. [ I bit the bullet and bought Windows XP Home, which installed fine - but that's for my kids - I want my FreeBSD! ] This seemed like a good time to move forward. I had a set of 5.2.1 CD's, so I installed them. Things didn't work very well. Part of it was ACPI problems I didn't correctly recognize, but my biggest problem was that I couldn't get OpenOffice to install, because it had moved to Xorg from XFree86, along with FreeBSD 5.3. I had a slower, desktop machine with a plenty of disk space, so I loaded up the source distribution from 5.2.1, cvsup'ed to -STABLE, did a buildworld, buildkernel, mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS, and upgraded the laptop to 5.3. Since then, I've been playing a challenging game of update the package to try to get all the requisite packages for Xorg and kde in place (not to mention OpenOffice, and I'm not even there yet). Have you already guessed my problem? My / and /usr single filesystem, which is 1.5Gb in size, that had been about 80% full with XFree86, kde, fvwm, and OpenOffice is now 101% full and I haven't even gotten all of kde installed (and all the dependent packages), let alone OpenOffice. I see my options as this: 1) Try to figure out the dependency trees for kde, install kde-lite instead, and rip out the packages I don't need (theoretically possible - but feasible?) 2) Back up /home, reinstall a minimum 5.2.1 system, do the installworld and installkernel again, and then do the install of the kde (or kde-lite) then restore /home (but how much larger do I need to make / and /usr?) 3) Buy or build a 5.3 installation set, and redo the installation, using only the distributions I need, and hope it fits.

Re: automake, autoconf compiling
Hi Keith, I've recently been struggling with similar issues, and would be interested to know what others might have found effective. I have a number of different versions of the auto-tools on my machine, almost certainly as a result of installing various ports. It is worth note that one can glean some info on how the FreeBSD ports infrastructure handles this problem by looking at /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.autotools.mk. For my part, I found the details to be too 'ugly' to attempt to emulate in my work, but they are interesting all-the-same. To date I have not resorted to installing any custom, system-wide builds of any of these tools for fear of harming my ability to use the ports infrastructure and out of a desire to reduce future maintenance considerations. For the most part, I have reasonable luck simply calling the desired tool by it's installed name. (i.e., 'autoconf259' instead of 'autoconf'.) Most of these tools know where to obtain their helper files due to the PREFIX they were assigned when they themselves were 'built'. I have run into situations where aclocal got confused by multiple macro definitions (for some libtool macros in my case.) That was a bit hard to debug, and it may be rare as my research didn't turn up too many references. I think it pertinent to expand this question to freebsd-questions to include a wider audience. Certainly these are FreeBSD specific considerations, and probably not extremely arcane ones.

fxp0, the new interface is configured as:
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

log it. When I boot the AP, I get this in my log:

Re: login.conf problems
I think the problem here is login.conf cannot do things like limit cpu% it just kills the process when it reaches the cpu time used, also on limiting processes say if you want to limit a shell user to run 3 bg processes you cant limit to 3 processes in login.conf because it will break fg processes for things like running make. In this scenarion I believe you need some custom type of script to do what you are looking for.

RE: automake, autoconf compiling
All of the information both of your provided is helpful. I will have to investigate further. Some of the information that Tom specified helped me to track down the problem. Basically I have multiple versions of the tools installed and there are two different directories with aclocal m4 files. If I explicitly change the shell script to also include the other directory then everything seems to continue on until compile time when there is a header that cannot be found. It appears this header alloca.h is located in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/sort/alloca.h.

I've recently been struggling with similar issues, and would be interested to know what others might have found effective. I use autoconf/automake and libtool daily at work[1]. The programs I write have to run on at least 3 different operating systems (FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris) without the need for constant manual tweaking of the source. The best way to do that is to use the same version of autotools on all those platforms. So, I install the latest possible versions of these tools with --prefix=/opt/autotools on all the machines I have to use, and stop worrying about all the details. When I have to use the tools, I add /opt/autotools/bin at the beginning of my PATH. When I don't need them, I remove /opt/autotools/bin from my path. This has worked wonders so far. - Giorgos [1] The operative keyword here is at work. I don't use autoconf and friends for programs I write on my own.

Trackball, extra buttons, and X - I've lost something
Ok, I've finally broken down and bought myself one of those fancy Microsoft thumbball thingys. I got tired of tracking my mouse around on a 5X5 square, which is exactly the amount of free space on my desk right now. Anyway, since Microsoft is a pretty good accessory company I figured I'd check their thumbball out.

Well, now I've got these two new hammers, and I can't get them working quite right. I've got the following in xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/ums0 Option Buttons 7 Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 EndSection This is what I used to have: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection And I've restarted Xorg, and xev shows the proper button presses for the left (button 1) and right (button 3) buttons, wheel press (button 2), and weel scrolls (buttons 4 and 5). It also shows events for the side buttons, 6 and 7. I have the comand `xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7` in my ~/.xinitrc to set the buttons up, but I'm still getting odd behavior when I roll the wheel. So what's this strange behavior? Well, every time I roll the mouse wheel, I get the Fvwm Builtin menu. I tried setting a Nop action in the Fvwm mouse events config for buttons 6 and 7, but that breaks scrolling with the wheel. Now I can't seem to get scrolling back. So I need to figure out how to stop the menu popup without breaking the scrolling. Or at least get the scrolling back. I've tried this with and without moused, but no change. Naturally, I change the Device above to /dev/sysmouse, and moused polls from /dev/usm0.

I got tired of tracking my mouse around on a 5X5 square, which is exactly the amount of free space on my desk right now. Anyway, since Microsoft is a pretty good accessory company I figured I'd check their thumbball out. (I didn't say they were a good software company) I got the following immediately after plugging in: Jan 13 17:07:31 keyslapper kernel: ums0: Microsoft Microsoft Trackball Optical®, rev 1.10/1.21, addr 2, iclass 3/1 Jan 13 17:07:31 keyslapper kernel: ums0: 5 buttons and Z dir. The only problem is that it has 5 buttons including the button wheel. Give a man a hammer, he'll want to use it right? Well, now I've got these two new hammers, and I can't get them working quite right. I've got the following in xorg.conf: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/ums0 Option Buttons 7 Option ZAxisMapping 6 7 EndSection This is what I used to have: Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection And I've restarted Xorg, and xev shows the proper button presses for the left (button 1) and right (button 3) buttons, wheel press (button 2), and weel scrolls (buttons 4 and 5). It also shows events for the side buttons, 6 and 7. I have the comand `xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7` in my ~/.xinitrc to set the buttons up, but I'm still getting odd behavior when I roll the wheel. So what's this strange behavior? Well, every time I roll the mouse wheel, I get the Fvwm Builtin menu. I tried setting a Nop action in the Fvwm mouse events config for buttons 6 and 7, but that breaks scrolling with the wheel. Now I can't seem to get scrolling back. So I need to figure out how to stop the menu popup without breaking the scrolling. Or at least get the scrolling back. I've tried this with and without moused, but no change. Naturally, I change the Device above to /dev/sysmouse, and moused polls from /dev/usm0. I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE, Xorg 6.7.1 (built from ports) and Fvwm 2.4.19 built with imlib support from the ports. I think that's all. Any ideas?

How can I speed up a dd copy?
Hello When I am performing a dd between (2) 36 Gig 160 disks (to duplicate them) it takes about 2.5 hrs. Is there any way I can speed this up? Is there any better way I can clone a bootable main disk? Thanks NH. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Thank you!
Oh, but I do understand! FreeBSD is not good choice for companies that need support for the latest hardware. Thank you for informing me.
