Load at 1.00 on SMP machine
Hi, i got a Problem on my dual XEON 3.06 GhZ machine, 2GB of RAM, FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. I got option SMP in the kernel config and machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1 in /boot/loader.conf. There are just 20 processes running (typical ones like getty and stuff) and the load of this machine is at 1.xx. There is no bgfsck and other stuff. So, i built a new kernel without option SMP, rebooted, and the load was at 0.0x. But only one CPU was used (detected). So, what could bei the Problem? Well, the machine shows me 4 CPUs, HTT is not enabled via /boot/loader.conf and machdep.hyperthreading_allowed. So, how to disable HTT? Maybe this is the problem of the high load?

For a variety of a reasons, I would like to move away from sendmail to postfix. However, the postfix package cannot, as I am sure you know, simply install with sendmail on the system, since they install files to the same places. I am assuming that I have to delete the sendmail package off the system before I can install postfix (someone please correct me if this assumption is wrong). My question is, is there a way to safely and accurately save my sendmail configuration in the event that postfix simply does not work out? I would really prefer not to have to face a situation where I am left high and dry with no MTA working :) The ports version of postfix by default installs all its configuration files under /usr/local/ports/postfix so it leaves your /etc/mail alone (with the exception of mailer.conf) so your sendmail config should be safe -- though it never hurts to tar it up and cp someplace else just in case. You DO NOT need to remove sendmail from the system, though, if you desire, you can exclude it from the `make world` process by adding NO_SENDMAIL=yes to /etc/make.conf. A couple of things to watch for: 1. You will have another aliases file under the new postfix directory so you'll want to remember this if you use the aliases file much. You can just ignore the new one and continue to use the one in /etc/mail or you can do what I did and instruct postfix through its main.cfg to take the postfix-directory version as gospel since this seemed convenient for me to keep the bulk of my config stuff in the postfix directory. 2. Like David said in his reply to you, make sure you read the post-install messages once you build/install postfix so that you can modify your mailer.conf appropriately to use postfix instead of the core sendmail. The /etc/mail/mailer.conf file is the key to the seamless transition here. Also, be careful with mergemaster when you do the next `make world` so that you don't inadvertently overwrite your postfix-modified one with the base sendmail one (done that myself once or twice :) ) Hope that helps, G * REPLY SEPARATOR * On 10/8/2005 2:41:20 PM, Gerard Seibert Replied: I have always thought that it might be a nice option to have FreeBSD only install the MTA that the user prefers, when the OS is first installed. If a user wanted PostFix, or Qmail or whatever, that MTA would be installed and initialized in a similar fashion to what is currently done with SendMail. However, SendMail would not be installed, unless it was the users preference. Further, buildworld would by default update the users MTA of choice, and not default to SendMail.

RE:reaplay and mplay/mplugin....
I'd be pleased to use just one audio app that does everything: mp3, mp4/aacplus, realplay streams, or windows. What do I need to do to enable this? Should I pkg_delete my real/helix port? Is having both realplay and mplayer/mplayerplugin causing the confusion? Any ideas? Gary, mplayerplug-in does play real video up to version 9 I believe (may have changed recently). It is not very stable and will crash firefox if you try to leave the page the stream is playing in (including closing firefox). I could not get realplayer plugin to work so I suffer through this limitation. To enable it, follow these steps 1. Either rm or rename /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nphelix.so and .xpt or edit the /etc/libmap.conf file and comment out the section about realplayer (this is what I have done) 2. edit /usr/X11R6/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and change the line that says #enable-real=0 to 1. 3. Restart mozilla/firefox and real video will now play in mplayerplug-in. Hope this is what you were looking for. I don't think there is any other video plugin that will play all that.

RE:Re: linuxpluginwrapper (was linuxflashplugin)
Actually I just figured it out. There's a WITH_PLUGINS knob in the port makefile that I don't remember from before. Now it links plugins. One problem though, it puts them in browser_linux_plugins which native firefox doesn't see. I relinked them into browser_plugins and now it works again. realplayer still doesn't work, but that's an old problem. Looks like that port is a bit broken so I'll fire the maintainer an email.

Re: copy paste troubles
Hi. Running 5.4 stable here. I have an annoying problem with my copy paste.

RE:Load at 1.00 on SMP machine
i got a Problem on my dual XEON 3.06 GhZ machine, 2GB of RAM, FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE. I got option SMP in the kernel config and machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1 in /boot/loader.conf. There are just 20 processes running (typical ones like getty and stuff) and the load of this machine is at 1.xx. There is no bgfsck and other stuff. So, i built a new kernel without option SMP, rebooted, and the load was at 0.0x. But only one CPU was used (detected). So, what could bei the Problem? Well, the machine shows me 4 CPUs, HTT is not enabled via /boot/loader.conf and machdep.hyperthreading_allowed. So, how to disable HTT? Maybe this is the problem of the high load? Why are you setting machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1? My understanding, this would turn off one of the cpus. It should be set to 0 to have both cpus going. Also it is set in sysctl.conf not loader.conf, at least, that is how I have it. I am also curious how machdep.hyperthreading_allowed works. I run 6 so I believe it is turned on by default. Is this correct? Also if it is a solo cpu with HTT, do you need option SMP and machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 set or not with machdep.hyperthreading_allowed on?

You have to add a line in /etc/rc.conf. I think it is
samba_enable=YES.
well, if you add sshd_enable=YES, the service (always) starts on boot.

use force.
anyone knows why pls ??
martin
Because when the system boots up it sends the 'start' argument to all the
scripts in the rc.d directories, those scripts then check wether they
should start or not. Force start simply overrides that check.
Halldor
Then something's broken, no? If the service isnt running and you send
it a start and it doesnt start, then that's bad. You shouldnt need
to override some checks, it should do what it's commanded to do.
If you're talking about implementation no, it's not. In order to start
a service with start argument it needs to be enabled in
/etc/rc.conf. It's nicely documented in various places like man 8 rc
or /etc/rc.subr.
What OP is looking for is 'onestart' and 'onestop' parameters. I was
looking for a solution to the same issue some days ago and found that
in /etc/rc.subr:
# If argument has a given prefix, then change the operation as
follows:
# Prefix Operation
# -- -
# fastSkip the pid check, and set rc_fast=yes
# force Set ${rcvar} to YES, and set rc_force=yes
# one Set ${rcvar} to YES
Basically /etc/rc.d/sshd onestart will let you run sshd service
without enabling it in rc.conf (which also means it'll start at boot
time) yet it checks if sshd is not running already.
Hope that helps,
Karol

One goal is to make the license more aligned with open source and free software requirements. More background at http://josefsson.org/bcp78broken/. I'd like the FreeBSD community input on a whether a my proposed license would have avoided the above situation, and similar situations in the future. The issue is whether the RFC 3978 license permit using RFC excerpts in source code or documentation (man pages in your case) that is licensed under a free software license. I believe RFC 3978 do not permit this, and judging from your release notes, it seems you share that view. Anyway. Here is my proposed license: c. The Contributor grants third parties the irrevocable right to copy, use and distribute the Contribution, with or without modification, in any medium, without royalty, provided that redistributed modified works do not contain misleading author or version information. This specifically imply, for instance, that redistributed modified works must remove any references to endorsement by the IETF, IESG, IANA, IAB, ISOC, RFC Editor, and similar organizations and remove any claims of status as Internet Standard, e.g., by removing the RFC boilerplate. The IETF requests that any citation or excerpt of unmodified text reference the RFC or other document from which the text is derived. Comments? Suggestions? RFC excerpts are sometimes used in source code too, so the above scenario with the man pages may not be a isolated accident. I looked at Apache, Samba, OpenSSL and some other packages, and they all cite RFCs in various places. That usage may also be problematic, but I'm not sure.

Re: Re: Load at 1.00 on SMP machine
Have you tried it as follows: 1. Compile kernel with SMP and APIC included 2. Set machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 in loader.conf or sysctl.conf (0 not 1) 3. Set machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1 in loader.conf See if that helps. If not, remove machdep.hyperthreading or set it to 0. From my understanding that should disable HTT From FreeBSD 6.0 RelNotes: Because of an information disclosure vulnerability on processors using Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT), the machdep.hyperthreading_allowed sysctl variable has been added. It defaults to 1 (HTT enabled) on FreeBSD CURRENT, and 0 (HTT disabled) on the 4-STABLE and 5-STABLE development branches and supported security fix branches. More information can be found in security advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:09.htt. [MERGED] I think machdep.hlt_logical_cpus does not deactivate the other cpu it just keeps the OS from directing data to it hence the 1.00 load on your remaining cpu. David From: Axel S.

I got option SMP in the kernel config and machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1 in /boot/loader.conf. There are just 20 processes running (typical ones like getty and stuff) and the load of this machine is at 1.xx. There is no bgfsck and other stuff. So, i built a new kernel without option SMP, rebooted, and the load was at 0.0x. But only one CPU was used (detected). So, what could bei the Problem? Well, the machine shows me 4 CPUs, HTT is not enabled via /boot/ loader.conf and machdep.hyperthreading_allowed. So, how to disable HTT? Maybe this is the problem of the high load? Why are you setting machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=1? My understanding, this would turn off one of the cpus. It should be set to 0 to have both cpus going. Also it is set in sysctl.conf not loader.conf, at least, that is how I have it. Both CPUs are working. Also, works with machdep in loader.conf. Thats not the problem. I am also curious how machdep.hyperthreading_allowed works. I run 6 so I believe it is turned on by default. Is this correct? Also if it is a solo cpu with HTT, do you need option SMP and machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 set or not with machdep.hyperthreading_allowed on? I do not know. I just want turn off HTT, but stay with SMP. So i want my two phyiscal CPUs working, but not the logical (HTT) one. This is because is think maybe the load of 1.0x comes from turning on HTT. Well, if i do not use SMP in the kernel, the load is fine, but there is just one of the physical CPUs working. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Re: reaplay and mplay/mplugin....
Gary, I am sorry I misread your email. I haven't really tried too much to have streaming audio through the browser (Although I don't see how this would be different). My problem with Realplayer is that I could get sound but no video. mplayerplug-in is still under development so I am sure they will get it worked out eventually. In the meantime, I would checkout plugger. It doesn't try to haddle the stream itself put hands it off to other apps such as mplayer or xine. Might work better for you.

Problem with OpenBSD dhclient
Hello,
I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0 and now my dhclient
configuration (which did work perfectly with the ISC dhclient) doesn't work
anymore.
On my laptop I'm using a static lease in dhclient.conf (attached below) as
it is roaming between different networks.
On the network without the DHCP server dhclient shows the following
messages, but leaves sis0 unconfigured (it doesn't configure the default
gateway or resolv.conf, too):
DHCPDISCOVER on sis0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5

DHCPOFFER from 192.168.123.254 rejected.

No DHCPOFFERS received.
Trying recorded lease 134.60.220.229
bound: renewal in 855549552 seconds.
If dhclient gets its lease from a real DHCP server everything works fine.
Does anybody know a workaround or is the OpenBSD dhclient just buggy?

How to check if a processor in the machine is dead
Hi, I am having problem with my dell 2850 server. It has freebsd 5.4 installed. Today the machine is flashing amber light on the face plate.On checking I found that to be PROC Machine Chk which means cpu has failed. The server has dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz. I searched and found a utility named x86info but couldn't understand the output much and also couldn't get to know if a cpu has really failed.

Re: Question about ZFS support
Are you planning to include support for ZFS(link below) into FreeBSD in any future releases? http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/ while i'm not FreeBSD coder i would ask question - how does it REALLY work - contrary to information. i mean how it works in practice. IMHO checksumming every data (not just metadata) is nonsense if it cannot be turned off. this makes every transfer not just I/O bound but CPU and memory transfer/cache bound too. while disk and memory bandwidth in todays machines are quite comparable (memory is faster but not THAT faster than linear disk I/O) it isn't just a little thing. built in compression isn't good idea IMHO - of course it doesn't hurt if it's optional. today disk space is rarely a problem, while huge files are often not much compressible. by general description filesystem looks very nice. thats theory - did anyone made a real test on real system? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have to change all the plugin links so they are in browser_plugins as well as changing the nppdf.so (acroread) link to the right place as above. Another option might be to nuke browser_linux_plugins and make the directory a link to browser_plugins before building pluginwrapper. On top of all this, I still have yet to get realplayer to play nicely with the current firefox. It worked with the old one but stopped working after the last firefox upgrade.

So the maintainer of the package/port has to get the list of files correct, but I've rarely seen any problems. So if you find that a package isn't deleting something you should ask here or contact the port maintainer. We monitor for it constantly on the pointyhat package build cluster.

Consider that the whole of RECORDED human history, is a much LONGER time than even the most optimistic estimates of the length of time left for fossil fuel resources. Your great grandchildren (assuming you have kids) will very likely have an exact date figured in their lifetime that the fossil fuel resources will be dried up. If you choose to cop the attitude today that solar is impossible for your culture, and just give up on even trying to get it started now, then I guarentee that when it's the only thing left, the rest of the world will be in your country just like they are in Iraq today, and you will have lost any chance you have of self-determination for your future. I'd suggest you get cracking on building those photovoltiac manufacturing facilities in your area, if you ever want to have a say in your future. One day not very far in the future the world will be at your door demanding energy, and if you are still saying it's impossible then, well then the world is going to just shove you aside and show you how to do it.

For some reason, mplayer looks like it doesn't wwant to be a plugin; rather a stand-alone Windows a/v player. I just installed the newest Helix and from what I glimped, it supports both real and win streaming audio. Jeez, but I'd like one app that worked all the time.

Re: Status of 6.0 for production systems
I remember back a while when 5.x had been recently released as STABLE and the conventional wisdom said not to use it in production until the 5.3 release. Is there any such conventional wisdom as regards 6.x? my home system is actually production system that can't be stopped for a long time. i moved finally from NetBSD for various reasons including real SMP support (real=not crashing and not all-giant lock). what i can say is 1) performance is excellent. maybe it should be named FastBSD not FreeBSD :) 2) it DO has bugs, but i already filtered those than can make a problems for me. 3) first bug - kldunload means danger. many kernel modules just crash the system when unloaded. solution: just don't do it, not a real problem. 4) using kernel-ppp+pppd=crash after not a long time. that forced my to learn user ppp(8) which is actually MUCH better. same solution as 3. anyway i don't see any reason why kernel ppp is maintained at all. user ppp+tun interface works perfect. 5) sio driver has bugs. no crashes but overruns are reported by thousands unless i patched sio.c to increase buffer eightfold. the real bug is somewhere else, and can always be repeated with just dd if=/dev/ad0 bs=1m of=/dev/null the larger bs - the larger buffer have to be set to fix it until some value than enlarging bs to anything doesn't break things at all. i don't know how this all works in kernel so have no idea about the real fix. but this fix is enough for now. if you don't use high-speed serial it shouldn't be a problem for you anyway. 6) still have to learn ipfw more, an excellent tool! incomparably better than NetBSD's ipf! found no bugs on other things and system works stable. for 4 days now but stable without any problems, having stable 921kbps ppp link (which is my outbound connection) and all userlevel programs working fine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had been running a gentoo Linux 2.4.x kernel for java processing (before the FreeBSD 1.4 jvm got as good as it is now) and when the machine had problems, I put Solaris 10 on it as a test since it has some good resource management stuff for RAM and CPU etc that I wanted to use with my various java backend customers and my simple tests showed the same java apps with better performance than the same HW had with linux... ymmv Best regards Chad Ted --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD 6 DVD
I would like to know when you will release the official FreeBSD 6 DVD so I can purchase it from FreeBSDMall. Also I want to know what is including this DVD. I think must be like other UNIX-like environments that have all the OS files plus some extra software that you can download them from the Internet. If so I will be very happy. I am using FreeBSD for a few months and up to now I am very satisfied with its usage. Also recommend me some good books how to administer or install properly a FreeBSD server. included in /usr/share/doc/ :) just make sure you installed docs with sysinstall. an excellent set of books! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
