Re: Dumb filesystem idea
On 2/4/07, Indigo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Everyone, Im about to try a disklayout experiment and I wanted to ask everyone if Im trying things that are pointless or if I should extend the experiment somehow. Hardware: Highpoint RocketRAID 2320 2xWD Raptor 74GB 5xWD Caviar 320GB Original idea for the setup: 74GB RAID1 (Raptors) /,/var,/usr 50GB RAID0 (Caviars[10GB from each - maybe less]) swap,/usr/obj,/tmp,[/var/audit] 1TB+ RAID5 (Caviars[the rest]) /home (or just general storage) The goal is to waste as few fast/reliable space as possible on things that CAN be lost and to generally reorganize the filesystem by file purpose. It looks to me like you are wasting system drive channels. That is, IDE can only have two drives per channel, SATA can have one drive per channel. SCSI is too expensive to waste on 10GB drives. So while you might be moving low-use data off of a high-use file system you are losing the ability to have a high-capacicy file system. Known issue is that I'll need some script to recreate the RAID0 filesystems when they crash. Shouldn't be a prolem with gvinum. Except that some applications /will/ crash if /tmp dissipears, and you certainly don't want swap to dissipear if it's being used either. Am I onto something here? I feel like running in circles - it's dumb to put /var/obj on the RAID1 where it just eats valuable space. But it's also dumb to put things on a RAID0 where they will crash a running system in the event of disk failure. I know my idea won't work but I wanted to ask if anyone was playing with similar ideas. The trick is to balance your performance requirements and your fault tolerance with the data usage and system security requirements. The fault tolerance of RAID 1 and RAID 5 are nearly the same, each can survice exactly one drive failure. In your example above, the Raptor's are fast, but depending on what the system is used for you might need that speed in /var, swap, or some other mount point, most of the time IO on / and /usr is pretty low. On the other hard, RAID 5 is fine for a file server, but if you have a database on that volume you might want to go with RAID 10. So no, your idea isn't dumb, you just didn't give enough information to make a meaningful assessment. Some more detail then: The HighPoint card is very decent, it can make the whole setup I described appear as three SCSI disks (da0-2). Ill make one slice on each and then partition those slices as I described. So FreeBSD will only see 3 SCSI disks(74GB,50GB,1TB) it shouldn't see the original SATA disks like it does with on-board controllers. da0s1a / da0s1d /var [mail] da0s1e /usr [homes,databases,htdocs] da1s1b swap da1s1d /usr/obj da1s1e /tmp da2s1d /usr/store [public storage/fileserver] Does anyone know how the system will react to da1 failing?

Re: READ_DMA48 error interpretation
#1. The drive temperatures seem ridiculously high to this naive reader, but what do I know?... 110 to 190 Celcius? Yikes... Or maybe that's normal? How hot is too hot? I'd think if you can't hold onto them with bare hands they are too hot. 100C is *way* too hot. It's a wonder they are working at all. If they are in an enclosure, clean the air filter (if any), make sure the fan(s) is/are running (and actually moving air); add a fan if there isn't one. If they are not in an enclosure, (or if they're in a big one, like the same box with the rest of the system) add a fan either blowing on them or drawing air over them. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: iTunes - once again.
Call me silly, but it seems to me you ought to be lobbying Apple for Linux support. Get a decent Apple-made Linux player, and FreeBSD support via the linux emulator would *probably* work, no? I agree, getting Apple to support iTunes on Linux is key. I don't know if there have been other online petitions ... Good luck. My guess is that open-source systems like Linux or *BSD are considered too easily hackable, and therefore prohibited in Apple's agreements with the recording industry.

NVidia troubls with AMD64..
OK, my main question is this: I originally had an x86-64 config set up, and I ran Xorg -configure, which generated an nv driver based xorg.conf file. It placed the card at PCI 1:0:0 if I remember correctly. When I tried to start X it complained that it couldn't find my card at PCI 1:0:0. I went back to i386, and got to this point, and there was no problem. The driver configs appeared identical, including the PCI 1:0:0. System: 6.2-i386/6.2-AMD64 ASUS A8N-E motherboard, BIOS 1.13 Athlon64 3000+ 512MB memory GeForce 7300GT video card (BFG). Any idea why I would see that problem? I would like to stick to x86-64, but for some reason it doesn't want to find my video card. Also, anyone know the state of the kernel in relation to nVidia's requested updates (mentioned June 06 in -hackers)? I could ask FBSD-hackers, but it's not really an important questions, and I don't want to take their time away from keeping this great OS great.

It's not just that. Given Apple's stance in the marketplace, they (rightly) prefer to do things when it suits their vested interests. So, considering the following points, Apple won't support iTunes on any platform other than OSX and Windows: -DRM doesn't exist on *BSD, Solaris or Linux, which means that Apple would have to do the system from scratch or adapt the system to meet the requirements of the installation platform. -The cost of development, security risks, and probable loss of IP would be much higher since they'd be spreading out their resources pretty thin by developing DRM/iTunes for other platforms. -Plus, the number of PCs owners that do have iTunes protected files is probably much smaller than the market share that own Mac or Windows machines and use iTunes. -Many times writing binary applications for Unix requires a common denominator for all applications. Considering that there isn't necessarily a common denominator in Unix (shells are different, kernels are different, not all clients have the same WMs, DEs, etc), finding and establishing that common denominator would take a lot of time. Therefore, with that thinking in mind I highly doubt that anything will come about in the near future where iTunes is supported on another platform than Windows or OSX, unless everyone will start using Linux or *BSD because of Vista ^_^. -Garrett PS Have you tried Crossoffice yet? It's a packaged suite for wine that supposedly supported iTunes (as well as Office XP) back in the day (~1 year ago).

I'm still lost on the ratio since I thought the 2x was only if you had like small amounts of RAM. It really depends on what you are doing with the system. The system also pages to swap space. Now, you really want enough ram so that you are not depending on paging while something is running, but if you have lots of processes with many kind of resting until something comes up, the system may gradually use up their in-core space for other stuff, even though the process is not actually swapped out. Then, if some of those processes have to run again, they don't half to be built up again. The system just pulls back in the pages it needs - not necessarily the whole thing. It is, then good to have enough space for that. It would take some observation on how your system is used to decide just how important your swap size is. If you are running a big enough system that 4 GB of ram is needed, then 4 GB or even 8 GB swap is not so comparatively large. You would probably be running disk sizes in 70-160 GB size and maybe more than one, so what's 4 GB! Anyway, you want to have enough swap to cover a crash-dump - not that it is a frequent occurance unless you are doing development. After all, this is FreeBSD, not MS. But, still, it is good to have. jerry ps. Please learn to break your text lines at about 70 characters.

John Processors and memory have vastly outpaced the speed of disks; any amount of swapping is going to be percieved as being very slow and something that should be avoided. Since RAM is also very cheap now, most people just load enough RAM into their system to handle their load, and then configure enough swap to hold a crashdump of that RAM. You always want swap so that you can handle unexpected spikes in load without crashing, but it's less of an integral piece of normal system operation these days. Scott It's here! Your new message!

Re: question about BSD time
In response to Alaa Alomari [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [Please wrap your lines around 72 characters or so] Dear sir; I have a Unix BSD server, and i want to adjust the time of the server so i have used the following command: $ sudo date 0702050402 and the output is: Mon Feb 5 04:02:00 EET 2007 and when typing date command again, i have got the following output: Mon Feb 5 09:38::51 EET 2007 so would you please, tell me how can i fix the time (note: i am using the root) Thank you for your attention. You are doing it correctly. Is it possible that you have something running that is changing the time? (ntp, perhaps). What happened between the time you set the time and when it reset itself? Also, check your system's securelevel setting, which will prevent manual time changes (or limit them to 1s).

Re: HP C-class Blade / Broadcom ethernet / SerDes controllers not supported

SerDes code isn't implemented in FreeBSD 6.2, but there has been a commit in HEAD some days ago which should add this functionality to the bce(4) driver [1]. Maybe you can give it a try and check whether a current FreeBSD 7 works right and report back the result to the list. Unfortunately all of my BL460c blades are in production right now (under Debian/GNU Linux 4/amd64 *sigh*), so I cannot verify it on my own at the moment.

Another lesson to be learned: one should generally distrust any marketing names like NC 370i. For example, both the QuickSpecs of the DL380 G5 [2] and BL460c [3] quote an NC373i Multifunction Gigabit ethernet adapter. Nevertheless they are completely different by design and while the one in the DL380 G5 works under FreeBSD 6.2, the one in the BL460c doesn't. In the past I knew such confusing names just from companies like Dell, but obviously HP adopted this bad habit recently unless it is just a typo in the specs.

6.x, 4.x ipfw/dummynet pf/altq - network performance issues
So, this may be the wrong list to post to, but it seemed the most appropriate. If someone could suggest a better location to move/cross post to let me know. I've been running some tests with using FreeBSD to filter and rate limit traffic. My first thoughts were to goto the latest stable release, which was 6.1 at the time. I've since done the same test under 6.2 and haven't seen any difference. I later migrated to running 4.11 to get away from these issues, but have discovered others. I've tested on an AMD 3200+ system with dual Intel 1000 series NICs, an AMD Opteron 165 with the same, and a Xeon 2.8 with the same. I've used both stock and intel drivers. 6.x; Normal traffic isn't a problem. The second you get into the realm of abusive traffic, such a DoS/DDoS (over 100mbps) UDP floods the machine falls over. Little packets with ip lengths of 28-29 bytes seem to do the most damage. I've tried playing with various sysctl values and have seen no difference at all. By falls over I mean stops sending all traffic in any direction. TCP syn packets have the same effect, tho not quite as rapidly (200~230mbps). I then tried moving filtering off to a transparent bridge. This improved the situation somewhat, but an extra 30-40mbps of UDP data and it would ultimately crumble. Overall the machine would be able to move between 300k-600k PPS before becoming a cripple, depending on packet length, protocol, and any flags. Without a specific pf or ipfw rule to deal with a packet the box would fall over, with specific block rules it would manage an extra 30-40mbps and then fall over. 4.11; Again, normal traffic isn't a problem. When routing filtering on the same system some of the problems found in 6.x are still apparent, but to a lesser degree. Splitting the task into a transparent filtering bridge with a separate routing box appears to clear it up entirely. UDP floods are much better handled - an ipfw block rule for the packet type and the machine responds as if there were no flood at all (until total bandwidth saturation or PPS limits of the hardware, which in this case was around 950Mbps). TCP syn attacks are also better handled, again a block rule makes it seem as if there were no attack at all. The system also appears to be able to move 800-900k PPS of any one protocol at a time. However, the second you try and queue abusive traffic the machine will fall over. Inbound floods appear to cause ALL inbound traffic to lag horrifically (while rate limiting/piping), which inherently causes a lot of outbound loss due to broken TCP. Now, I'm not sure if this is something to do with dummynet being horribly inefficient, or if there's some sysctl value to deal with inbound that I'm missing. I suppose my concerns are two-fold. Why is 6.x collapsing under traffic that 4.11 could easily block and run merrily along with, and is there a queueing mechanism in place that doesn't tie up the box so much on inbound flows that it ignores all other relevant traffic? (as a note, all tests were done with device polling enabled. Without it systems fall over pretty quickly. I also tried tests using 3com cards and had the same results) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought maybe I was missing Python, but I went and installed that, and it's in pkg_info Actually, I should also point out that I had to do portsnap fetch and portsnap extract just to get security/denyhosts to show up... Maybe I wasn't supposed to do that?... Or is there another package it relies on that I'm missing? I tried reading the Makefile and there's a PYDISTUTILS requirement... Couldn't find anything obvious with 'locate' and variations on that theme, nor with ports make search key=pydistutils I also tried looking at the work/DenyHosts-2.6/daemon-control-dist.* files, as a second attempt to make (without a make clean) complained: === Applying FreeBSD patches for denyhosts-2.6 Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch. 1 out of 1 hunks ignored--saving rejects to daemon-control-dist.rej = Patch patch-daemon-control-dist failed to apply cleanly. *** Error code 1 But make clean fixed that, so it's probably a red herring. Nothing in the files I looked at seemed horribly wrong, but I can't claim to know what should be there in the first place. I've Googled some for this, but mostly find tutorials the seem to think the make is just gonna work. I guess I could just compile from source, but I do prefer to use ports whenever possible.

partition/cd recognition problem hal GNOME 2.16 FreeBSD RELEASE 6.2
Kudos to the GNOME FreeBSD team for continuing improvements. Problem: Hal no longer recognizes all vfat partitions. Two vfat partitions at ad0s1 and ad1s2 exist. Only ad0s1 now appears. CD burning now proceeds better via Nautilus. Before portsnap / portmaster that failed altogether. Now CD-R burning succeeds, whilst CD-RW burning can still hang the machine altogether. Gnomebaker, however, has worked consistently. Once burned, if not ejected, the CD is not recognized any more in the burning drive and in the auxiliary drive. Mac OS X can, however, recognize the CD. Indeed after burning a CD and closing the dialog (without ejecting) no CD or DVD of any kind was recognized any more, nor was any console error output generated. The devices simply ceased to communicate.

No CFLAGS were changed or anything else. It's a very standard install.

memory above 4Gb ignored
I do not see any reference to resolving the 786432K of memory above 4Gb ignored anywhere in Google or otherwise. I see references to it for FreeBSD 4.XX, but I am running 6.2, and have the same problem. Is there any easy solution? For a hoot, I installed SuSe 10.2 on my machine and it recognized the full 4Gb; FreeBSD does not. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
User Monitoring
Hello all, i would like to provide a SSH Login for selected people on a dedicated Machine, to be a little bit of a playground to some who dont have any Unix experience and so on. Without a doubt i will get the one or the other trying to do something nasty to the Box, so my question is how to keep track of what Users are doing? Using process accounting as described http:// www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/security- accounting.html in the handbook? Can you share some easy to implement tricks to keep the worst from happening to my Machine?

Re: memory above 4Gb ignored
I do not see any reference to resolving the 786432K of memory above 4Gb ignored anywhere in Google or otherwise. Are you running the i386 version of 6.2-RELEASE? If so, you will need to enable PAE (recompile the kernel with options PAE), or install the amd64 version of 6.2 instead. Note that there is a performance hit with PAE and other downsides, so you should probably go for the amd64 version for optimal performance.

Re: port: security/denyhosts

I thought the security/denyhosts port looked good, even if just to

And, hey, reporting back to denyhosts HQ and letting them notify the
sysadmins of hacked boxen is a lot better than me doing it by hand.
Only problem is, I'm stuck at Step 1:
cd /usr/ports/security/denyhosts

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/denyhosts.
I thought maybe I was missing Python, but I went and installed that,
and it's in pkg_info
Actually, I should also point out that I had to do portsnap fetch and
portsnap extract just to get security/denyhosts to show up...
Maybe I wasn't supposed to do that?...
Or is there another package it relies on that I'm missing?
The command that is failing is:
happy-idiot-talk:...ports/security/denyhosts:% grep '.-e' Makefile
@${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's,%%PREFIX%%,${PREFIX},' \
where ${REINPLACE_CMD} should expand thusly:
happy-idiot-talk:...ports/security/denyhosts:% make -V REINPLACE_CMD
/usr/bin/sed -i.bak
You should find the definition of that variable around line 2087 of
bsd.port.mk
If this does not work for you then either you're missing chunks out
of /usr/ports/Mk or you've got rogue entries in /etc/make.conf that
break that command or you're running on a version of the OS too old
to support sed -i.

Hmmm... very strange. We have just built a RELENG_6_2 server with
apache13-ssl, php5 and phpMyAdmin and no such problems are apparent.
Did you modify the CFLAGS or otherwise change the level of
optimization used by the compiler?
No CFLAGS were changed or anything else. It's a very standard install.
