very strange reaction of the md disks
Hello, Maybe I just don't understand something, but anyway, it looks really odd. I have a machine with 2 Gb RAM with a clean newly-installed FREEBSD-7.0-RELEASE. I make two 300-MB mdconfig disks and populate them, and when the first one was already full and the second one is only half-full, I get a kernel panic not enough memory. I wonder where did 1,5 Gb go?? Well, I tried to reboot and allocate them with -o reserve to prevent the kernel panic, but the second one said that enough memory can't be allocated (though top still showed 1,5 Gb left). Well, I rebooted and tried to allocate one 1-Gb disk, but it also failed. Then I gave up on this and came to my other work, but when I loaded some small kernel module, I got a kernel panic!! What, didn't the disk allocation have to kinda free up the used memory when it fails?! And then the last thing. I reboot and copy a 220-m file from a samba-mounted directory to my hard drive (UFS2 with soft-updates). I was very surprised to see that one gigabyte of my memory suddenly became used up. I wonder if the soft-updat es really don't care about how much memory they use... A friend of mine told me that such a panic is really a thing to write a bugreport on it, but I know about this behaviour for few years already and so I guess I just don't know something about the memory allocation system, and, kinda, it really works just like that. Should I read something to understand why it's just like that or really write a report on some of these things?..

We do have a server at work using the LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 which hosts 40 VPS's running quite happily in a RAID 1+0 config, each VPS running web/mail/ftp for a number between 1 and 100 websites, so they seem to perform well enough, this is a linux server though. If you've been sold a RAID1 array i'd imagine thats what you have unless you have reason to believe otherwise. It will appear as a singe block device (/dev/mfid0) to the operating system though as you have see.

Its more likely that megarc doesnt support the newer controllers which is a shame. you might have more luck with sysutils/linux-megacli since that explicitly mentions LSI MegaRAID SAS, I wish they would make the util open source though.

RE: Duplex printer advice
This depends a lot on your print jobs. Low quality machine-generated PostScript output can be slow. PCL can also be slow. The only way to really know is to benchmark with your print jobs. there was no case i found postscript to print faster. There's also the potential overhead of the print processing systems. Just sending PS in the first place may be quicker than apsfilter or CUPS. i use lpd+my script for filtering postscript to PCL Recent printers have fast RISC CPUs and fast PS interpreters. I/O speed comes into it, too. FreeBSD seems particularly slow over parallel and USB both not true, but just use lptcontrol for parallel port! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: 7-STABLE Watchdog Timeout
On Tuesday 03 June 2008, Jeremy Karlson wrote: I'm still looking into my watchdog timeout with me re card. I'm starting to wonder if my problem is in any way related to the discussion back in September 2006 starting with this post: 6.2 SHOWSTOPPER - em completely unusable on 6.2 http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-September/028792.htm l It seems that under certain conditions and loads, a network interface with a shared interrupt would stop responding until the watchdog resets it. This seems to be very similar to what I see. At the time, they seemed mostly concerned about fixing the em driver; I'm using re. Unfortunately though, I can't seem to find what the resolution to this was, and if it could be related to the failure I'm seeing. Does anyone know what happened with that problem? -- Jeremy If I remember correctly, there were two problems: 1) there was a race in the interrupt handler (this affected all interrupt handlers), 2) em used the now obsolete if_timer to implement it's watchdog timeout. This timer is unreliable. Both items have been fixed, so this shouldn't be related to your problem. #2 wasn't fixed in all drivers, but if you are affected you should see a warning on startup stating the use of the obsolete timer. I believe if_re was converted some time ago. Note that in theory watchdog timeouts could also mean broken hardware, bad connection to PCI bus or other intermittent hw failure. I would try reseating the card in another slot. -- Pieter de Goeje ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only way to really know is to benchmark with your print jobs. there was no case i found postscript to print faster. You won't on an HP printer, at least not an older one. Remember that HP had to pay a very hefty fee to Adobe for licensing PostScript for each printer. HP did everything possible to push PCL and discourage customers from selecting PS because they did not want to continue to have to pay Adobe. HP did not dare mess with the PostScript implementation itself for fear of a lawsuit - every HP printer that went out the door they definitely made sure was completely compliant with PostScript - but they did everything else to discourage it. They told all the companies that wrote tutorials to minimize PostScript and enhance PCL, they make PostScript models much more expensive, they didn't ship models with Postscript with enough ram to run the PostScript interpreter reasonably quickly, and they made no effort to speed up the PostScript implementation. Still another trick was distributing PPD files that didn't have a complete definition of all printer accessories so that when you printed PostScript from, for example, Windows, you might not have a duplexer definition and could only print duplex on PCL.

No, that is what it's supposed to be. The sex toy issue is that you saw the sphere with horns AFTER you saw Beastie. So you had a frame of reference, and naturally assume it's Beastie's head. The problem is, think about people who have NEVER seen Beastie before seeing the sex toy logo for the first time. Since they have no frame of reference they can easily assume that it means anything at all. Such as the business end of a French tickler, which it kind of resembles. When those of us in the know call it a sex toy, we are making a little inside joke, as we are basically saying the logo design is terrible because it does not indicate to anyone looking at it what it is supposed to represent. The Linux penguin is no different - someone seeing a Penguin isn't going to know it has to do with an operating system, either. Many corporate logos also suffer from the same problem. The difference between the corporate logos and Linux and us, is that those organizations have the marketing muscle to take their rediculous logo designs and pound them into the public conciousness through endless advertising. See a blue oval? Most people think Ford Not because a blue oval has anything to do with cars. It's because Ford has dumped trillions of dollars in advertising over the years pounding that association into the public mind. The designer of the FreeBSD logo approached it from the usual corporate arrogance of we can create anything we want, then just pay money for the association. The only problem is that the FreeBSD project has no money to spend to create this association. As a result the logo completely fails in it's job. Arguably, there is also no public association between Beastie and the FreeBSD operating system either, so in the long run we aren't any worse off than we were.

1. FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE amd64
2. Apache 2.2.8
3. PHP 4.4.8 (or may be PHP5, what do you suggest?)
Server's hardware configuration is as follow:
2 x Quad Core Xeon E5450 3.0GHz,2x6MB,1333FSB
16GB (8x2GB Dual Rank DIMMs) 667MHz FBD
6 x 450GB SAS 15k 3.5 HD Hot Plug
PERC 6/i, Integrated Controller Card x6 backplane
PE2950 III C5 MSS R10 Add-in PERC 5/i / 6/i 1 S
TCP/IP Offload Engine 2P
Broadcom TCP/IP Offload Engine functionality (TOE) Not Enabled
For FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE amd64 Which MySQL 5.0 would be used ?
1. FreeBSD 7.x (x86_64)
or
2. FreeBSD 6.x (x86)
I have done some googling and made these configuration files for Apache and

HP LaserJet 4 and 3 is excellent, anything newer - crap, as HP joined others in making craps so every year user has to buy new one. The 5Si is also an excellent printer. The higher-end HP LJ's are not crap, and last many many years too. The problem is that around the post-4 and post-5 years HP started coming out with the personal LJ printers, which are all crap, and jacked up the price of the workgroup printers to prevent sabotaging the sales of the cheap crap. My HP Laserjet 4+ at home is the oldest operating piece of computer equipment I have. And I fully expect it to last another decade, and once it dies, I have another one in the basement that I picked up for $50 - WITH a duplexer. i don't think it will stop within 10 years. but do you have original HP manual? if not - i have for laserjet 4 in PDF. do not try to disassembly without it :) I do, and have repaired many fuser idler gears in these printers, as that is usually what gets teeth broken off it and is responsible for most of the jams. Ebay is flooded with cheap HP LJ 4 parts. I kind of suspect that somewhere in China is a company that produces counterfeits of these and other popular HP Laserjets.

DOn't forget, Edit your /boot/loader.conf to allow your MySQL to grow up to about 8GB (for starters). People forget this about as often as they forget to put INDEXES on their tables. Speaking of that! Turn on your slow_query_log... set it to 5 seconds and monitor the slow_query_log file. Are you going to replicate? If not, disable log-bin (you have skip-networking, so I assume you are not setting up a master/slave). Only reason to do log-bin is to fill your disk up with files you will never yse. Up query_cache_limit=8M (depends, may not matter for your site). (That is the max limit per query to cache...). Keep an eye on your cache fill rate and up those values if you need to. Keep an eye on your table_cache... table_cache=1024 may be fine, but if you have 4000 tables, that may need to be higher. Set your key_buffer higher (depending on your site) --- several 100GB. Connections can *probably* be lower... the only reason to have a real hig number for connections is to get your machine to swap. :p Oh, check out the my-huge.cnf file that comes with MySQL...

Low quality machine-generated PostScript output can be slow. PCL can also be slow.

I had one of the original LaserJet-1's, which derived it's postscript emulation via a plugin cartridge. I was Very happily surprised when I finally switched to using ghostscript, because my print rate went up on every class of printing, whether it be the faster text only jobs, or the unbelieveably slow binary images. Didn't have color back then. Text was faster, but FAR faster with ghostscript. This was my personal printer, not something told to me by others.

HP did not dare mess with the PostScript implementation itself for fear of a lawsuit - every HP printer that went out the door they definitely made sure was completely compliant with PostScript - but they did everything else to discourage it. They told all the companies that wrote tutorials to minimize PostScript and enhance PCL, they make PostScript models much more expensive, they didn't ship models with Postscript with enough ram to run the PostScript interpreter reasonably quickly, and they made no effort to speed up the PostScript implementation. Still another trick was distributing PPD files that didn't have a complete definition of all printer accessories so that when you printed PostScript from, for example, Windows, you might not have a duplexer definition and could only print duplex on PCL.

It may take you weeks of surfing for the best deal, but go laser if you can. At the same time, HP's patents are about to expire in the next few years. Anybody know when, to-the-year? Well, having had both, the only problem I've seen in some of the Inkjets is that (and HP is bad at this) the ink tends to dry up and jam both the ink cart. and (in HP's case) the printheads also. Least so far, I haven't see this at all with Epson. I *have* seen that there's a thriving market in those 3rd party inks, which are dirt-cheap, but I haven't any experience in inkjets with 3rd party inks, only the lasers, where they do ok. I have been looking at the Epson RX680, where it's less than $200 for all the features (except the postscript emulation) of the Brother $700 printer (I forget the model I liked, just remembered the list price from the Brother web page). That's a 350% difference there, Gary. I'm still making up my mind, but I just don't print all that often to need a $700 unit, and I did notice that there is just about no 3rd party market at all for the Brother units (just a huge ink market) and they are conspicuously missing from ebay also. Means I'm likely to actually PAY the full 700, not even slightly true of the Epson model. Yeah, quality is a very nice thing to have ... if I had a user report on the 3rd party inks from someone I trusted (and it wasn't too evil) I would probagbly jump to the Epson, it's just too darn expensive to go quality when you print once a week.

Setting up a VPN
Hey, I'm looking for information on how to setup a Virtual Private Network on a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE system. The only VPNs that I've worked with previously is Hamachi on windows and linux, so I have no experience in OpenVPN or IPSec. The purpose of this VPN is to restrict certain things to only administrators. For example, phpmyadmin and vsFTPd. I'd prefer not to have these things listen on the public interface. I read the Handbook entry on IPSec/VPNs: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ipsec.html However, that entry only has examples for how to connect one network to another network via FreeBSD gateways. I don't want a setup like this; I just want the freebsd system, my windows XP system, and a few other windows XP systems to be on a VPN together. Can anyone link me to how-tos or any references on how to do this? Also, any suggestions on which software to use (OpenVPN, IPSec, etc) would be appreciated.

If you're having trouble understanding IPsec, don't worry. IPsec is confusing. The biggest problem with IPsec is that it's more complicated than it needs to be. Based on your description of your requirement, I suggest pursuing an OpenVPN solution. I've done this with FreeBSD/Windows. There's a neat tool to generate .msi files for Windows machines to allow users idiot- proof installation, which I've had good success with, and the simple VPN you describe is pretty easy to set up from this HOWTO: http://openvpn.net/index.php/documentation/howto.html#pki -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

md, mount_mfs and swap
I've recently started playing with NetBSD and notice that by default it mounts /tmp as an MFS backed by swap. A quick read of the md, mount_mfs man page would lead me to believe that md /tmp rw,async,-s1024m 0 0 will move my /tmp dir to a swap backed 1G space. This would make me feel much more comfortable about my continuing adherence to the practice of giving my machine twice as much swap space as they have memory.

Some of my print jobs ran much faster in PS, because it only sent a few K of PS rather than a megabyte of bitmap in PCL. There's also the potential overhead of the print processing systems. Just sending PS in the first place may be quicker than apsfilter or CUPS. i use lpd+my script for filtering postscript to PCL Recent printers have fast RISC CPUs and fast PS interpreters. I/O speed comes into it, too. FreeBSD seems particularly slow over parallel and USB both not true, but just use lptcontrol for parallel port! Did that, didn't help (at the time).

Usually your computer has more available memory than your printer. In fact usually your printer's memory bound. I have two printers an HP Business Inkjet 2250 with 80MB of RAM and an HP Laserjet 4000 with 64MB of RAM. The Business Inkjet prints Postscript at 12+ pages a minute. The 4000 does 17+ pages of postscript / minute. These speeds are pretty much as fast as the respective printers can spit out pages. Factory stock memory for the Inkjet is 16MB and it 4MB for the laser. With stock memory the inkjet does 7 pages / minute max and the Laserjet might make 12. Optimizing a CPU for Postscript isn't all that hard but for some reason the printer manufacturers ship these machines with very low RAM.

Re: Stumped:: web HTML. Caution, may be OT.
looks like what i need NOW is a debugger, :-) i have virtually zero design skills except keep it simple To quote Albert Einstein, Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Much of the problem with the web today is the reliance on 'designers,' who are primarily concerned with making things look pretty, rather than ensuring the delivering of the underlying content. The latter of which far supersedes the former in its importance. To that end, the less reliance your page has on the client's environment, something that is entirely beyond your control as a developer, the higher the probability of successfully delivering the content. (Which should be your main objective: If the content cannot be delivered, what was the bloody point?) JavaScript, CSS, browser plugins,... despite modern trends, should be avoid where possible. If they must be used, ensure that they do not compromise the delivery of the content, in the event those mechanisms are un-available to the client. For example, hyperlinks implemented solely in JavaScript is a sad state of modern affairs. The web is constantly evolving and may trends come and go, I can recall the days where JavaScript was the hot new thing and everyone used it to do utterly pointless things, like having snowflakes follow the pointer. Eventually it was realized that this was pointless, annoying, and hampered the delivery of the underlying content. Its usage faded out. Following this, was the rise of websites built around the then Macromedia Flash. Flash was the new web, going to replace conventional markup. This too was largely a commercial failure, as the delivery of the content was impaired. Eventually, the long-forgotten JavaScript had a resurgence with a new name and a few new friends (AJAX). Unfortunately, it comes with all of the same old problems. Though solutions to many of these problems exist, rarely are they used consistently and correctly. Additionally, one must question if the added functionality is worth the reduction in the probability of successful delivery. Telling people to upgrade their browser, or enable certain features is a cop-out which harkens back to the days of make your browser this wide, followed by a horizontal rule. As far as editors and such, I personally write all of my code in a text editor, regardless of the language. I have used hand-written code in a text editor to implement websites for multi-million dollar companies. Ironically enough, I'm a visual effects artist. Anyway, I think I have likely gotten off topic myself and haven't contributed much to solving your original problem. Enough rambling out of me for now. Best of luck, Gary. -Modulok- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You would have expected to get an error message from csh along the lines of $TERM not found in /etc/termcap not Cannot find /etc/termcap wouldn't you? I am not even sure what I did to make wsvt25 happen, other than that is the terminal setting I use on my OpenBSD firewall (that I have to ssh into first before I ssh into my samba server (the one that has the termcap problem) I don't know why it would take OpenBSD's $TERM. ssh should take $TERM from the target machine (according to the openssh manpage) which is cons25 by default. Is there a ~/.ssh/environment with $TERM set on your Samba server? You might want to set it there for future use to cons25.
