-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sandy Rutherford Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 10:52 PM In order to boost read performance, a RAID card should interleave reading from a RAID-1 volume by reading alternately from one drive and then the other. You can see this in alternate blinking of the activity lights of the drives. If you are not seeing this when copying a large file, then this would suggest that a RAID-1 volume is not working as it should. Incorrect. What you are describing is RAID-0. RAID-1 is mirroring. Here's a link: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/perf/raid/index.htm Here's the different RAID levels: RAID-0 interleaving between 2 or more disks. Primary purpose is to combine multiple disks into a larger volume. Gives maximum amount of space with no fault tolerance. RAID-1 mirroring Requires pairs of disks. Primary purpose is to give fault tolerance. Most commonly used with cheaper IDE disks and IDE RAID cards. Uses fewest number of disk drives for fault tolerance. Very easy to design so that if 1 disk dies the array of disks continues without interruption RAID-2 Bit level striping. Not used in modern systems (the scheme was overengineered, basically) RAID-3 Byte level striping. Rarely seen in modern RAID controllers. RAID-4 Block level striping. Rarely seen in modern RAID controllers. RAID-5 Block level striping - with distributed parity. Requires a minimum of 3 disks. The primary purpose is to give the volume-combining features of RAID-0 with the redundancy of RAID-1. This is the most popular RAID. But it is more difficult to design for so the cheaper controllers sometimes will halt the system if a disk is lost. Also requires drivers in the OS to allow online rebuilding of a replaced disk drive. Requires significant CPU processing on the RAID card for parity calculations. RAID-6 Same as RAID-5 except parity is dual distributed, not single distributed. Not common althogh some manufacturers call their proprietary extensions to RAID-5, raid 6 RAID-7 Patented RAID solution of Storage Computer Corporation that first showed up in their OmniRAID stuff, now seen in their CyberBorgVSA.

FreeBSD Machines dieing, we've tried so much....
Hi all, OK, we're still having the FreeBSD machines die on us. Its two specific machines we've noticed, both FreeBSD 5.4, different hardware, different purposes. Originally, orion, our mail server, started getting kernel traps and dieing. Then, our primary ldap server, a week later, started doing it. Now they both are dieing atleast once every couple days, at random times. Orion has been up solid for five days, and Caliban (our primary ldap server) has been up for about seven, before this evening at 2:00 am when it died again. Here is the output from Caliban: http://paste.atopia.net/126. Orion has a similar message on the console when it hard locks, but the process usually says procmail. I've never had instability problems with FreeBSD. These machines are both in the same location, but on different power supplies. They are controlled with high-level Air Conditioning. We've got three other FreeBSD 5.4 machines which haven't shown any sign of instability, but they dont receive anywhere near as much traffic as Caliban and Orion ... those servers get hammered constantly. The ONLY similarity between Orion and Caliban software-wise is that they both are involved in LDAP. Caliban acts as a primary LDAP server and Orion has LDAP configured via pam and nss. Please let me know any suggestions you can think of. The hardware is fairly new in both machines, but they are completely different kinds of boxes. Both machines are multiprocessor.

With these all you get is hot-swap support although you might have to do a camcontrol rescan after swapping the disk. However, the RAID card intelligence is supposed to operate independently of the disk driver to do the remirroring or parity rebuilding. In theory you should be able to simply yank out a failed disk and slap in a replacement and the operating system shouldn't even notice anything. No matter what the OS in use. Actually, the Windows management tools for this raid controller on a server are observational as well. There is no rebuild tool or anything like that. When we set these systems up for customers (All the recent Proliants use the same RAID controller) we usually configure them RAID-5 with 4 physical disks, the setup will set 3 of the disks in the array, and one a hot-spare. And in the event of a disk failure, which you can tell by looking at the disk drive lights, or going into the management interface, you simply pull out the bad disk and put in the replacement and the RAID card takes care of the rest of it. As for knowing if a disk has failed, I think the only way to know is to watch the little lights on the disk front. And that is true of the Windows tools also - unless you install a complete HP Systems Insight Manager console (generally on a separate machine) which talks to all your little HP servers that run the various HP-SIM agents that talk to the raid card, etc. If I were you I would test all this by pulling a disk and seeing what happens. HP just released a binary driver for this series of RAID cards for Linux in May 2005. It supports RedHat and Suse. I do not know if they ship software notification tools with this binary driver, or if it also talks to a HP-SIM console.

FreeBSD strongest and also its weakest point is that it is developed by serious people as a serious operating system who took the work of a serious university as their base. This leads easily to misunderstandings when newcommers appearing at the scene. The main advantage of FreeBSD is its stability. It just runs like a work horse. FreeBSD follows very strict principles once set. The number of exceptions to be faced during operating a FreeBSD machine are pretty much limited. All applications come via the ports tree and are delivered as source or as a binary. The user can decide on what level he/she can maintain the machine. The installation from source need compilations but it does not need any knowledge of programming. Following the same steps for all ports, is all the user has to do: cd to the directory in the ports tree make make install make clean I know some people who were to afraid to move to FreeBSD as they believed installing from source is equal to being a programmer. I hope this will start a discussion to give you the strong points of FreeBSD you need for the article.

Pentium II / 433 MHz, VIA 693 chipset At kernel booting system regulary crashes followed with spontaneous restart. After many experiments I've figured out it was caused by absence of connected PS/2 mouse. It's very strange, but when I plug it in, system normaly boots and is working. It's very annoyng and this box should be dedicated to mail server without any peripherials like mouse and keyboard connected. How do I tweak kernel settings to prevent such a dumb behaviour ?

Re: OT: usage of split

Thanks, Andrew Gould I had somewhat of the same question. Here's my docs on how it was explained to me: To create a tarball backup and split it up for CD burning. Something like: tar cjf - /dir/to/backup |split -b 650m - bkupname- Note that using a pipe saves s lot of space. This will produce backups in the form of bkupname-aa, bkupname-ab etc. Restoring the backup would be something like: cd /parent/of/backupdir; cat /path/to/bkup/bkupname-* |tar xjf - Note that you need to have all backup files on a disk for this to work properly. This is what I do to archive my system to a CD Rom.

Battlefield 2 Server won't start
Hello, I was happy when I saw that the Battlefield 2 Linux Server was released. Now I finally had the chance to run this server (a freebsd machine ofcourse ;)) I thought. After a smooth install (the most annoying parts was accepting the agreements) I tried to run the server. I entered the following command in my BF2 directory: ./start.sh And then I got this very nice error message: /usr/home/dennis/BF2/bf2/bin/ia-32/bf2_f: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2.2' not found (required by /usr/home/dennis/BF2/bf2/bin/ia-32/bf2_f) The library the program was looking for wasn't in the location it expected, as it is a linux library. I made a symbolic link to the correct file: $ls -al /usr/lib/libstdc++.* -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1709842 Jun 15 22:29 /usr/lib/libstdc++.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Jun 15 22:29 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so - libstdc++.so.4 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 834196 Jun 15 22:29 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.4 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 40 Jun 15 15:02 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 - /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1705326 Jun 15 22:29 /usr/lib/libstdc++_p.a and $ls -al /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 18 Mar 21 21:42 /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 - libstdc++.so.5.0.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4181584 Sep 4 2002 /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.1 but I still get the same error message. Perhaps it has something to do with the note about GLIBCPP_3.2.2. I checked my GCC version, which is 3.2.1. Can this be the cause? Or what can else cause this kind of error?

ML 350 G4 Oh good, we have a customer that has been looking at one of these for FreeBSD and I'm glad to hear that you didn't have problems with it. Absolutely smooth - and I am really no kind of computer expert. With these all you get is hot-swap support although you might have to do a camcontrol rescan after swapping the disk. Yes, I have read that in some recent thread. Actually, the Windows management tools for this raid controller on a server are observational as well. There is no rebuild tool or anything like that. When we set these systems up for customers (All the recent Proliants use the same RAID controller) we usually configure them RAID-5 with 4 physical disks, the setup will set 3 of the disks in the array, and one a hot-spare. And in the event of a disk failure, which you can tell by looking at the disk drive lights, or going into the management interface, you simply pull out the bad disk and put in the replacement and the RAID card takes care of the rest of it. The City of Wuppertal couldn't buy me a third disc, because that would have superceded the limit of 2.5 kEURO, which would have required some special administrative act ... :-) . As for knowing if a disk has failed, I think the only way to know is to watch the little lights on the disk front. After reading Alex' story about running a RAID 1 with a defect disc for three years, I believe it will suffice, when I check things with every system upgrade.

Re: Explaining FreeBSD features
This sounds good. How much time is left for you to write it? A couple of weeks :) So I have a lot of time to do research. FreeBSD is a typical system driven by technical people. Clearly its weakest point. Or, as I describe it for myself, if I would know marketing, I would not write software. If you knew them both, your powers wouldn't know limits. http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/unix/ aims more towards the general public, and does the job a little better. How ever they don't even mention half of FreeBSD's features. Not all applies to FreeBSD. Hopefully one day they will. http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html is very, very good. I get the feeling though, that it ain't like that no more. It is a starting point but a bit outdated. True. I did e-mail this Murray, he told me he was working on a new one. Any idea, people? Not really as I also do not know the current status of your article. I also have no idea what the target audience will be. Actually, it's not only for the article. I also want to create an introductory report where FreeBSD meets the real life, and try to present it in the same professional manner that Apple presents their Mac OS X. Maybe some can even be used as wording for FreeBSD's new website, which they desperately need. Let me give you some not to technical points for a start. FreeBSD strongest and also its weakest point is that it is developed by serious people as a serious operating system who took the work of a serious university as their base. This leads easily to misunderstandings when newcommers appearing at the scene. The main advantage of FreeBSD is its stability. It just runs like a work horse. FreeBSD follows very strict principles once set. The number of exceptions to be faced during operating a FreeBSD machine are pretty much limited. All applications come via the ports tree and are delivered as source or as a binary. The user can decide on what level he/she can maintain the machine. The installation from source need compilations but it does not need any knowledge of programming. Following the same steps for all ports, is all the user has to do: cd to the directory in the ports tree make make install make clean I know some people who were to afraid to move to FreeBSD as they believed installing from source is equal to being a programmer. Yeah I know a lot of people like that :) I hope this will start a discussion to give you the strong points of FreeBSD you need for the article. Indeed, Erich.

Re: DDS Tape problems
Alex Zbyslaw wrote: Pavel Duda wrote: Hi, I have problem with my DDS-3 type drive. I'm able to write on it but not read data back. If I try to read them I get card dump and tape drive hangs up. I have tried to upgrade firmware but problem remains. Does somebody have experience with this ? We have had a lot of experience with seeing similar problems, but little with solving it. We have about 75 systems with mostly DDS-3 some are DDS-4. All Are SCSI. All were on Dell Poweredge machines and are which ever vendor OEM model they were installing at the moment - but we couldn't seem to identify a clear difference from one model to the next. More than half seem to have been working fine for several years. The rest have continual problems with symptoms similar to yours - it appears to write OK, but the tape is unreadable. There appears to be stuff on the tape but it is junk. I say this because skips and rewinds take about the amount of time I would expect, but of course that is not a definitive test. Also, sometimes I can cat or dd a file off the tape that is junk (eg the file is junk - not readable as anything. But often I cannot get anything at all. Some got errors during the write. I think there are multiple problems with the DDS drives, some of which may be their own hardware on internal control and some may be the SCSI controller or the drivers, but I have never been able to pin anything down and after asking several questions on the lists over several years, have had no response other than some people agreeing and some stabs with additional questions to answer that all went nowhere. In a couple of cases, getting the drive replaced seemed to fix the problem. I believe the ones that warranty replacement helped were the ones that failed during write.In others I don't think rplacement helped. Some sites have upgraded to DLT. I know none of this helps much toward solving the problem, but I post this response for moral support and in hopes of jogging someone who might know more about these things. jerry My specs : FreeBSD 5.2.1, generic kernel, x86 (P3), SCSI card is Adaptec AHA2940 and tape drive Python 04106. Not terribly helpful, but I have a DAT2 working with an Adaptec 2940A. It's worked since forever and is fine with 5.4 though I never ran 5.1/2/3. Is the machine it's attached to dual-boot? I.e. can you test the tape drive in Windows, or Linux for example? (Well, they have to be good for something :-)) Is this a recent problem or is this the first time you've tried using this drive? Can you try another SCSI adapter? I've run mine (for testing only) off the cheapest rubbish I got free with a SCSI CDRW and it was fine. I was trying to use Tekram SCSI adapter with same result. I have taken this DDS tape from my AIX machine (netfinity) where it was working wo problems. The only other guess would be termination. Has anything else on your SCSI chain changed? Is the terminator properly plugged in? Termination should be fine. I have tried both variants - termination on tape and termination via active terminator on cable. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Pick the first slice and make it bootable (S) then W to write you changes and you are asked if you want to install the boot manager. Say yes. Quit out and reboot, taking out the CD. While I'm getting things to work I usually leave the floppy and CD as BIOS boot options before the hard disk. Once I know it all works, I fix the BIOS to look for the disk first. If you don't have a bootable CD or floppy in the drive, then the system boots from disk. This is from memory, but I'm pretty sure it's correct.

FreeBSD doesn't use letters for naming disk partitions. It uses a sort of hierarchical naming scheme, starting with the raw disks themselves, which are called: ad0 Primary master ad1 Primary slave ad2 Secondary master ad3 Secondary slave You currently have Windows installed on what FreeBSD calls ad0. Thus, you should be _VERY_ careful while installing FreeBSD not to change anything on the ad0 disk. You can partition, slice and assign space of ad1 to your FreeBSD installation, in (more or less) any way you want. I would like to install FreeBSD on this second disk and to use it entirely. When I booted up to the Install screen I saw the option of choosing ado or ad1. I did read about this earlier on the FreeBSD home page. I chose ad1and then saw the Fdisk screen. I don't need to Fdisk anything. I just want to use the second primary hard drive. ad1 is your primary slave drive. You have done fine so far. I am very much afraid that I might do something wrong and wipe out my Windows installation. So, I chickened out and decided to ask for further guidance from the list. I would recommend a good backup of your Windows installation first. Then you have no need to be afraid that you'll mess the Windows setup, because even if you do it won't matter at all. You'll just restore everything from your backup. Could you please advise me on what precisely I should do at this critical moment? Read the installation chapter of the Handbook. Very very carefully. Then save a good backup of your Windows machine offline, away from the installation machine. Finally, install FreeBSD, tweak it, hack it, play around as much as you want with it. If you have any questions you have while installing FreeBSD, or after the installation is done, please feel free to ask by posting at this mailing list that is dedicated to general FreeBSD questions: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Have fun with your FreeBSD installation, - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: After Install -- Where is FreeBSD?
Hello Benjamin, * Benjamin Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, the good news is that my first install of FreeBSD went perfectly. I selected ALL for installation of ports and packages so it took a good hour to install everything from my two CD's. And some of the packages encountered an error and could not be installed (they told me to look in the debugger for details). Windows XP came through completely unscathed and in perfect working order on my first primary HD. All that's missing now is FreeBSD. After completing my install, I exited. FreeBSD exited normally, then rebooted. But no sign of FreeBSD. Instead, Windows came up. I do recall choosing to have a boot manager but never actually saw the screen and boot-up options. So, I went back into Free BSD by switching back to the CD in my Bios, but that's as far as I dare go on my own. What should I do? Am I missing something? We really appreciate your interest in the FreeBSD operating system. There's only one small thing I'd like to point you at and that's that freebsd-current@freebsd.org is supposed to be a mailing list about the development about the FreeBSD OS development tree (FreeBSd 6.0 at the moment).

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004
I have apache2 running which I installed from ports. All is running
well. I would like to install the proxy module. As I'm relatively new
to FreeBSD and Unix I'm not sure which is the best way to go. Is there
a way to change the config options before doing a make. How do I do
this so I add to the existing config options with out overwriting
them. Can you do this with ports?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
If you are asking how do I get make to remember the configuration
options I used last time then the easiest answer is to use
sysutils/portupgrade and put your options into
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf (which is pretty self documenting when you
edit it). Some ports now put the options you used in
/var/db/ports/{portname}/options, but apache2 doesn't seem to be one of
them yet. So if you didn't make a not of what you picked, you'll have
to work them out all over again :-(
If you are asking how to re-install apache2 without overwriting changes
you made to httpd.conf, then the safest way is to make backup copies
before deleting the package and reinstalling. (Easy with portugrgade -f
option). Actually, I think the port is clever about this and won't
remove the config file if you have changed it, but I'd make backups anyway.
Personally, when installing a complex port like apache2, I always try to
be generous about what modules etc I compile, and try to include stuff I
*might* need even if I have no use for it yet. Only experimental stuff
gets left out. Saves a lot of grief when you suddenly find a use for
proxying :-) Disk space is nearly always cheaper than time.

You need the FreeBSD boot loader on the Windows disk and just select disk2 for FreeBSD. If you ever re-install windows, it will delete the boot loader for you and you'll need to install it again. If you are installing the boot loader onto a second disk then /stand/sysinstall is just like booting from CD, without having to boot from CD, but it tends to refuse to write stuff to currently mounted disks.

When does swap decreases
My swap used to be 30MB+ I increased from 256MB to 384MB. For several days swap usage was zero. Then I saw it increase to a few hundred Kbs.. and now it's up to 10MB. I am wondering if it's because swap is not going down or there is now that many more programs running (which I doubt).

The only documentation I could find on those options is a note that if you want to be able to mount the drive on a PC you must use the PC Partitioning Scheme. I suspect that the Apple Partitioning Scheme uses a different format for the partition map which may not be handled by anything else. -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: mac osx disklabels
Yes, and in OSX this drive has been formatted with their idea of a UFS filesystem. The trouble I encounter appears to be because 1) there is no dos partition information (no slices) 2) freebsd cannot read the mac disklabel format (no partitions) I just want to confirm that I'm not running into any stupidity with regards to the partition information. Thanks for confirming that bit about HFS, but I was already pretty certain on that account... -Paul From Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mon, Jun 20, 2005 at 08:59:46AM -0600: On Jun 20, 2005, at 8:12 AM, Bob Bomar wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | I went to mount a UFS filesystem on an OSX prepared drive and discovered | that apparantly FreeBSD can't read mac disklabels?

Sound Jitter.
Hey, I've resently installed freebsd 5.4 on to my HP omnibook 4150, i've got the sound working and everything else setup perfect. Or so i thought, the sound is fine unless i want to do something, if i'm just scrolling in firefox it causes the sound to kinda of jump or skip, i've tried different apps to play the music and it seems to do the same on every app. (xmms, beep-media-player, mp3blaster and mpg123) the only one that didnt skip as much was mpg123. The skips only seem to happen when there is some type of activity on the computer, disk, network or screen. I dont know if i have missed configuring something or i just need to apply some type of patch... The spec of the laptop is: P2 300Mhz, 320Mb SODIMM, 6Gb Hard Drive, Sound and graphics is a neomagic 256AV, but using the cs4231 driver, as the neomagic driver locks up the laptop in freebsd and linux.

Re: After Install -- Where is FreeBSD?
Benjamin Sher wrote: Dear Alex: Thanks so much for your help. I did try it, went into Post Installation Config, Label, etc. But at the top there was no information whatsoever about any disks. Zilch. No slice, no partition. Nothing. Any idea what's going on? I'm sorry, I meant to type slice editor not label editor. I was thinking slice, but my fingers disagreed :-( When you enter the slice editor it should allow you to pick a disk. I'm not sure, in the end. whether you had one disk (with Windows and BSD) or two disks (one with windows, one with BSD). In any case, I think you have to write the Boot Manager to both. Pick the first disk and it should give you a screen displaying the slices (DOS-style partitions). In fact you need to do nothing more than type W here and it will ask you if you want to install the Boot Manager. Select the First option (BSD boot manager) and press return. If you have two disks, then press Escape, deselect the current disk by pressing space, move down to the second disk, hit enter and repeat the procedure. I just confirmed the procedure on my own Windows/FreeBSD disk and it worked just fine. So assuming the rest of your installation did go OK, this should do it. Good luck, and let us know when (not if!) it works for you. --Alex PS I have copied freebsd-questions on the reply.

So, I went back into Free BSD by switching back to the CD in my Bios, but that's as far as I dare go on my own. What should I do? Am I missing something? I don't know why the boot manager isn't installed, but it's very easy to install it again. Boot from the CD, select Post Installation Config, then select the disk Label editor. Pick the first slice and make it bootable (S) then W to write you changes and you are asked if you want to install the boot manager. Say yes. Quit out and reboot, taking out the CD. While I'm getting things to work I usually leave the floppy and CD as BIOS boot options before the hard disk. Once I know it all works, I fix the BIOS to look for the disk first. If you don't have a bootable CD or floppy in the drive, then the system boots from disk. This is from memory, but I'm pretty sure it's correct.
