It will 'sort of' work, but you'll find performance is terrible and there will be significant amounts of packet loss. Note too that 1Gb speeds require both sides to be set to autonegotiate -- it's part of the standard for supporting those speeds, so that in the event of transmission difficulties the connection can be gracefully degraded rather than just ceasing to work at all. There's a lot of received wisdom around that wiring down connection speeds is a good idea. That may have been the case 5 or more years ago, when there were certainly some combinations of NIC / network switch manufacturer that just wouldn't negotiate correctly, but now that 1Gb/s capability is pretty much standard such incompatibilities are rare. Nowadays, for best results, auto-negotiate.

Even if you do have hardware that supports half-duplex gigabit ethernet on both ends, the need to do carrier extension for any frame shorter than 512 bytes so that CSMA/CD actually works on a reasonable sized cable, does horrible things to your throughput if you've got lots of small frames.

FreeBSD + ZFS on a production server?
Hello list! I plan to install a web server for production use and ZFS looks very interesting, especially since it has built-in support for RAID and checksum. The hardware is already purchased, a 1U-casis with a PhemonX4 9550 CPU, 4GB ECC RAM @ 800MHz and 2x500GB SATA disks and I am about to select the operating system to use. The choice is probably between Debian 4.0r3, FreeBSD 7.0 and OpenSolaris 2008.05. All of them have their pros and cons. I think Debian / Linux, almost falls off because it lacks support for native ZFS and I have not found any alternative filesystem that offer checksums on the fly. My main question is: How is the support for ZFS on FreeBSD? Is it sufficiently stable and fast enough to be used in production yet? If not, is there any alternative filesystem that offers checksums on the fly or other similar technology to reduce the risk of a corrupt filesystem that at the same time plays well with software RAID (RAID-1 in particular)?

Help with default route
Hi! I usually use the wired network at home, in which everything gets configured automatically as soon as I attach the cable to my network card. However, when using the wireless network, I need to run # route add default -iface ipw0 This will give me a route to the gateway (10.0.0.1), and I can ping the gateway, as well as other machines on our local network. But if I try to connect to anything outside of 10/24, I get a no route to host error. If I manually add a route, with # route add x.y.z.t 10.0.0.1 I can connect to that host. If I change my default route to anything but -iface ipw0 I cannot connect to the gateway (10.0.0.1). I cannot keep adding routes to all hosts I need to connect to. I've solved the problem for web usage, by running a proxy on another machine on the local network (that's reachable) What am I doing wrong? I don't think I have a thorough understanding of network routes.

Re: FreeBSD + ZFS on a production server?
Anders Häggström [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I plan to install a web server for production use and ZFS looks very interesting, especially since it has built-in support for RAID and checksum. The hardware is already purchased, a 1U-casis with a PhemonX4 9550 CPU, 4GB ECC RAM @ 800MHz and 2x500GB SATA disks and I am about to select the operating system to use. The choice is probably between Debian 4.0r3, FreeBSD 7.0 and OpenSolaris 2008.05. All of them have their pros and cons. Just in case you assume that ZFS on OpenSolaris 2008.05 would be superior to ZFS on FreeBSD, this hasn't been my experience. On a system with an Athlon 1700+ and only 512 MB of RAM, receiving snapshots on OpenSolaris renders the GUI pretty much useless. On FreeBSD ZFS operations can cause delays as well, but it's significantly better than on OpenSolaris, even though FreeBSD's ZFS pool lies on a geli-encrypted gmirror while OpenSolaris uses the disk directly. Note that the system is below Sun's recommended specifications for ZFS, though. Things may look differently on more powerful systems. I think Debian / Linux, almost falls off because it lacks support for native ZFS and I have not found any alternative filesystem that offer checksums on the fly. My main question is: How is the support for ZFS on FreeBSD? Is it sufficiently stable and fast enough to be used in production yet? It probably depends on your workload, you'll find several complaints in the archives. It works fine for me, but I haven't tried it on web servers yet. If I were to install a web server today, though, I'd definitely go with ZFS (on FreeBSD). If not, is there any alternative filesystem that offers checksums on the fly or other similar technology to reduce the risk of a corrupt filesystem that at the same time plays well with software RAID (RAID-1 in particular)? You can use geli(8) for checksumming, it can be combined with gmirror but unless with ZFS, you don't get automatic self-healing. Fabian signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I have installed freebsd 6.3-RELEASE Technically, FreeBSD is not Linux. The Unix family tree looks something like the following (greatly simplified): Bell Labs Unix | | | BSD Unix SysV Unix | | | | FreeBSD Solaris Linux Linux is way over to the right by itself because it doesn't really have any genetic relation to the others. FreeBSD doesn't share any original genetic material with the SysV line, either, but that's basically because it evolved to that point -- whereas Linux was created from scratch to emulate (mostly SysV) Unix functionality. There's a lot in common between most Linux distributions and most FreeBSD installs, but that's in large part because of the plethora of open source applications that can be installed on both, and because the two are both tied to a sort of Unix tradition of OS design. It's not so much because of any actual family relation, per se. Sorry if this seems somewhat off the topic of what you're asking. I'm just trying to be informative. A better way to phrase your original sentence would have been something like I am completely new to Unix-like systems and need help with wireless connectivity. I have a toshiba satellite 1005-s157 with a dlink gs630 pcmcia card and a linksys wr54g wireless router. ifconfig shows status: associated but I cannot ping anything other than the static IP address that I gave to the wireless card. The card is known working, the AP is known working. I do not have DHCP running on the AP and simply assign IP's to all of my boxes when I first bring them online. topology: wall--bellsouth router--linksys AP linksys has a static IP of 192.168.1.3 bellsouth router has a static IP of 192.168.1.254 I have added a default route by running the following. route add default 192.168.1.254 Is the Linksys access point a router? Is it running NAT? Your FreeBSD system might effectively be tucked away in a subnet, which could possibly account for (some of?) your problems. I also ran this ifconfig ath0 ssid MYAPNAMEHERE wepmode on weptxkey MYPASSPHRASE ifconfig ath0 list scan shows the AP that I am trying to connect through and shows CAPS of EP only. The Question is: How am I associated with the AP but cannot ping anything other than localhost, 127.0.0.1 and the static IP address that I gave the card? Does this mean you can't ping the Linksys access point? Is the access point configured to ignore pings? All pings except to localhost or 127 or my static ip result in a host down message contents of /etc/resolv.conf search . nameserver 205.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver 205.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver 205.xxx.xxx.xxx You probably don't need three copies of the same line -- or are those three different IP addresses that you've Xed out?

(In other words, at gigabit speeds, frames smaller than 512 bytes zip down the wire so quickly that you can no longer reliably detect collisions, so the frames all get padded.) I'm having trouble wrapping my head around any circumstances other than horribly, horribly broken hardware or software where half-duplex would increase your performance over full-duplex. actually there are no gigabit devices incapable of full-duplex.

As you might have read, I have quite a lot of RAM available on this server (4GB), but ofcource I want the operating system to take as little as possible so that I have as much RAM as possible over for the server processes to work with (mostly web-server and mysql-server). According to a page I have found it says that some basic (FreeBSD-specific) functions are not ready, how does that affect ZFS in general? http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS Regards Anders ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Help with default route
Well, I can't be sure without seeing your entire routing table, but I would bet you need to do something more like this: route add -net 10.0.0.0/24 -iface ipw0 route add default 10.0.0.1 (or maybe route add default gw 10.0.0.1) If that doesn't work try giving us the output from your routing table (netstat -rn). -Matt On Sun, Jun 8, 2008 at 10:27 AM, Svein Halvor Halvorsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I usually use the wired network at home, in which everything gets configured automatically as soon as I attach the cable to my network card. However, when using the wireless network, I need to run # route add default -iface ipw0 This will give me a route to the gateway (10.0.0.1), and I can ping the gateway, as well as other machines on our local network. But if I try to connect to anything outside of 10/24, I get a no route to host error. If I manually add a route, with # route add x.y.z.t 10.0.0.1 I can connect to that host. If I change my default route to anything but -iface ipw0 I cannot connect to the gateway (10.0.0.1). I cannot keep adding routes to all hosts I need to connect to.

Re: FreeBSD + ZFS on a production server?
The choice is probably between Debian 4.0r3, FreeBSD 7.0 and OpenSolaris 2008.05. All of them have their pros and cons. could you tell any pros for opensolaris? I think Debian / Linux, almost falls off because it lacks support for native ZFS and I have not found any alternative filesystem that offer checksums on the fly. agree My main question is: How is the support for ZFS on FreeBSD? Is it while i don't use it, it works rather as in manual. no crashes if configured right. sufficiently stable and fast enough to be used in production yet? that's just my opinion about ZFS that it isn't very useful at all. it's just memory and CPU eater. If not, is there any alternative filesystem that offers checksums on the fly or other similar technology to reduce the risk of a corrupt filesystem that at the same time plays well with software RAID (RAID-1 in particular)? while i use RAID-1 for a long time be it linux or netbsd or freebsd, there is no need for checksumming. there are sector's checksums on disks, checked on every read. in SATA protocol there is error checking during transmission too. there is already well done things in hardware to do disk transfers without CPU overhead, but ZFS introduces overhead and advertises it as feature. quick advice - gmirror this 2 drives and then use UFS. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kernel crash coredump help
Hi,
We install a new server Dell 2950 with FreeBSD 7.0 and we've got some
issues with same.
Hardware: Dell 2950 Intel(R) Xeon(R) Dual CPU Quad-Core E5335 @ 2.00GHz
(1995.01-MHz K8-class CPU) with 4079 MB RAM and 2 x 250GB SATA HDD.
Normal server install using developer, all sources without games.
Upgrade to 7.0-p1#, then recompile kernel with

Server is running as secondary PF firewall with CARP/PFSYNC/IFSTATED.
Additional services running on the server are bind, net-snmp and ssh.
We have additional 7 servers running similar services with 6.2 and 7.0
FreeBSD all running fine.
Later same day the server crashed.
The traffic was on MASTER CARP server when crash happen, server was not
under load, CPU was 0% and memory 10% from NMS reports.

Re: FreeBSD + ZFS on a production server?
On a system with an Athlon 1700+ and only 512 MB of RAM, receiving snapshots on OpenSolaris renders the GUI pretty much useless. looks like very bad CPU and I/O scheduling on Solaris. maybe that's their 32-64 hardware threads capable chip is advertised so much? :) On FreeBSD ZFS operations can cause delays as well, but it's significantly better than on OpenSolaris, even though FreeBSD's ZFS pool lies on a geli-encrypted gmirror while OpenSolaris uses the disk directly. there is quite big difference with geli. it is CPU eater and produces delays noticable on machines that like P3 or less. but at least - it does something useful unlike these ZFS checksumming and other things. Note that the system is below Sun's recommended specifications for ZFS, though. Things may look differently on more powerful systems. but comparision probably the same, or difference less noticable on stronger systems. You can use geli(8) for checksumming, it can be combined with gmirror but unless with ZFS, you don't get automatic self-healing. whatever it means ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: What consists FreeBSD Libc?
Its great to get it confirmed that FreeBSD Libc is only /usr/src/lib/libc/* as I presumed. I have compiled and installed the FreeBSD Libc into a temp directory. The size of /tmp/libc.so.7 is about 65,000 bytes smaller than /lib/libc.so.7. The /lib/libc.so.7 is dated May 25, 2008. I did not touch CFLAGS or anything other than DESTDIR. But I really forgot, the gcc version is different. The /lib/libc.so.7 is by gcc 4.2.1, but the /tmp/libc.so.7 is by gcc 4.3.0. May be the code generation of the latest gcc may be better. indeed it is better. while difference between gcc 3.* and 4.* is HUGE in respect of code size. after i upgraded to FreeBSD 7 from 6.3 (so gcc got upgraded to 4.*) i recompiled bash. same version, 20% smaller! finally gcc turned to rule small code=fast code, always true on processors with at least 1 level of cache, not mentioning 2 or 3 cache levels :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD + ZFS on a production server?
This hasn't anything to do with ZFS but on the different configuration of the clockrate. FreeBSD uses 1000 ticks, while it's 500 on Solaris. With OpenSolaris 2008.05 the GUI becomes unresponsive for multiple-seconds on my system, and it's not clear to me how the clock rate difference would explain that. no. it's just because of scheduling and I/O algorithms used in solaris. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ZFS is herre to stay. You better get used to it. at least you could try to work with it before you make up an opinion. Have you -any- idea at all what this FS is capable off? if you like - quick summary 1) ZFS turns random writes into sequential writes as they say. yes that's true. they just forgot to say that it then turns sequential reads into random reads. simple for anyone that still can use his/her brain. 2) ZFS RAID-z turns your X drives to single drive performance both on read and write. every normal RAID-5 implementation will give you random read speed of X-1 times single drive speed, while slow random write speeds (but still at least half of single drive). but this is advertised as a feature 3) a CPU,cache and memory bandwidth hogging feature of checksumming all blocks. thing that are already done in disk hardware. fortunately you can turn this off 4) write anywhere style of writing, just with large buffers it could get large blocks to be written at once if only large continous space are found. quite good (but not that much better than UFS) as long as your drive is mostly empty. 5) incredibly high memory consumption. very high CPU consumption compared to UFS. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The issue here is that grep execs grep for each file found while
xargs batches the files.
This is of particular importance if one wants to see the file
names in the output. In relation to this, if one wants to be
sure that grep always generates the file name, insure that it
always gets at least two files as arguments:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep pattern /dev/null
FWIW, I have learned about gnu-grep's -r option reading this
thread, which I had not noticed previously. I guess that just
goes to show that old habits die hard :-).

mplayer plug-in not playing some streams
Hi, I have installed mplayer-0.99.10_14 and mplayerplug-in-3.45 using packages on my 7.0-RELEASE machine which runs Firefox 2.0.0.12. I am not able to see *some* online content, though, and I couldn't find any pattern. For example, going to http://www.davidgilmour.com/dvd.htm , I can see the Windows Media streams (both low and high resolution versions), but QuickTime and Real Player streams are not played at all --- a new tab opens in Firefox, and I see Getting playlist... and Connecting to server... messages, but then it says Stopped and that's it! But, if I go to http://www.satriani.com/podcast/Satchafunkilus/ and click on any of the podcasts (they are in .m4v which, if I'm not mistaken, is just a container for QuickTime .mov videos), mplayerplug-in plays them flawlessly. Another example for QuickTime is http://www.vai.com/SightsSounds/video_vault/index.html where all the videos can be played perfectly. As for Real Player, I see watch BBC Persian website's videos in Windows Media (e.g. this one about Euro2008 games http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/meta/dps/2008/06/bb/080606_op-euro2008_16x9_bb.asx), but if I choose Real Player as my format, I can only hear the sound and no video is played!

From time to time in the past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This is especially true when upgrading between distant versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when several months have passed on the -current branch). I really don't think that's a fault of make(1), it's a fault of the Makefiles, which have to be written very carefully so that having multiple parallel processes going might screw up building. Yes, it has done that in the past, but it's an occaisonal thing, not a regular thing, because there's a good number of folks who build there kernels with something like -j4. I often do. One just has to be really awake when you hit a problem, or when reporting a build error... rebuild without the -jN. I did some testing, at least for me, I get the most improvements when the number of cores or processors equals the -j number. You can make it higher, even double it, withoout hurting things, but 95% of the improvements come from matching the number of processes to the number of available CPUs (and that' by my own testing, not theory). Still, if you aren't willing to do your won troubleshooting, best to avoid using - -j anything.

Networking issues
Hello, I have, for some time, been able to ssh into my father's FreeBSD machine in the Road Runner network in Central New York. Last night, I tried so that I could fix a problem for him and ssh timed out. No problem I thought, his modem has a different IP than the one I have in my /etc/hosts file, but this turned to not be the case. Well, after some digging, I did a traceroute to his IP address. The packets went all over the place, from San Jose, to Colorado, back to San Jose, to Colorado then to Ohio, then to Denver, then to San Jose, then to Ohio, etc. (you get the idea). Eventually, traceroute was just lost and confused and I hit ctrl-c. Thinking the problem would work itself out, I decided to wait and try again tonight however, I'm having the same problem tonight. Obviously, though, I can use my Internet connection (after all, the e-mail . . .), but why can't I get to his IP address. For kicks and grins tonight, I logged onto my DSL modem and looked at it's routing table. I found some interesting information. First, my DSL modems IP is 71.221.172.38, however, the default route appears to be 67.41.38.201. Obviously, I've got to cross at least one network to get to this default route in the first place. I'm assuming this is the default route because it appears in the routing table as such: destnetmask gateway 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 67.41.38.201 Now, here's the output of traceroute (with name resolution turned off): [/usr/home/andy] - traceroute -n 67.41.38.201 traceroute to 67.41.38.201 (67.41.38.201), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 * * * 2 67.41.38.201 40.303 ms * 39.421 ms Why on earth would there be delays on the first hop when not using name resolution? Ok, now my machines setup: my DSL modem is the router (as you all knew). It also acts as a DHCP server but my FreeBSD machine is setup as static IP. The local, private, IP network is 192.168.0.0/24 with the DSL modem as 192.168.0.1 and my box is statically assigned 192.168.0.10. Any thoughts as what might be wrong on my end before I start bugging my ISP?

question about posting to FreeBSD mailing lists
Hi, Is there any way to answer the posts in the mailing lists if one is not subscribed to the list and does not receive them in his mailbox? From time to time, I see posts which I can actually answer and contribute to, but since I'm not subscribed to the lists, even if I post an answer to the person asking the question and CC it to the list, it doesn't regroup with other posts on the same topic. Is there any way around this? Thanks :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Whine when EHCI controller enabled in BIOS
I have a high pitched whine coming from my motherboard when the EHCI USB 2.0 controller is enabled in the BIOS. The whine only starts once FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE is halfway through booting. The whine also goes away when I plugin a USB drive in with EHCI controller enabled (usb keyboard and mouse being already plugged in).

Re: PXE booting 7.0-R
Hi
try using this lines in your /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf instead of yours :
subnet [your subnet IP] netmask [your netmask] {
range [start range] [finish range];
next-server [your PXE server IP];
filename pxeboot;
option root-path [your Root server IP (if you mount your server root its
obvious that your server IP)]:/;
}
and you should make change in your /etc/inetd.conf and comment out this line :
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot/
place your pxeboot and loader in /tftpboot/ and reboot your system
it should solve your problem
but if you want to use tftp instead of nfs you should make your pxeboot and
loader using tftp enable to do this you can read this article :
http://www.ultradesic.com/index.php?section=72
but there is a mistake in this article :
after you make new files are place here :
pxeboot : /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/
loader : /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/
and you should export / and all its directory for successful loading . for more
information you can read this article too.

I hope you make it

Hello,
I'm trying to PXE boot 7.0-RELEASE, but it stops at a time.
At boot I see the following on the screen:
BIOS drive C: is disk0

Can't work out which disk we are booting from.

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK lsdev

on the server I see t serving pxeboot via tftp, and mounting the root via NFS:

10.0.0.32:1023 for /wwwbladebsd (/wwwbladebsd) (around 30-40 from these NFS
mount messages in the log).
The NFS server is a linux box right now.
The dhcpd.conf:
host blade1 {
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:8d:00:36;
fixed-address 10.0.0.32;
server-name 10.0.0.1;
filename /bsd/pxeboot;
next-server 10.0.0.1;
option root-path /wwwbladebsd/;
}
i'm using atftpd with /tftpboot as root directory. /tftpboot/bsd/ is a
symlink to the root system's /boot .
I've NFS-exported /wwwbladebsd/, and that seems to work.
The question is, why loader is unable to load the kernel?
How could I force the loader to use tftp instead of NFS?
Or using any other solutions, how can I make this box boot?
If I've left out outsomething from here, please tell me, I will post it.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Make buildworld
I did some testing, at least for me, I get the most improvements when the number of cores or processors equals the -j number. You can make it higher, even double it, withoout hurting things, but 95% of the improvements come from matching the number of processes to the number of available CPUs (and that' by my own testing, not theory). I've found that on my Q6600 (quad core) system, the optimal is 8 though the improvements after 5 were minimal. It depends if the jobs are I/O bound or not and the scheduler. Although even with ffmpeg, the optimal number of threads with this quad core system is 8. On my previous system with a dual-core chip with the same hardware, the magic number was 4 (again, 2x the number of cores). This was with the ULE scheduler, I'm not sure if the same holds true for the 4BSD scheduler or not. And as you said, it's important to use make without -j if the build fails before reporting bugs, since there are no guarantees that world will build properly with multiple jobs.
