Hello,
in advance sorry for the cross posting, it is just that freebsd-geom didnt seem 
that populated.
I run 7.1-PRERELEASE, its a home server.
today morning after a power failure, the rebuild my root gm0 failed on disk ad4.
The messages were:

May 18 08:02:02 panix kernel: ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error 
(retrying request) LBA=268091264
May 18 08:02:08 panix kernel: drm0: Intel i865G GMCH on vgapci0

disconnected.
May 18 08:02:08 panix kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad4 
stopped.

I read http://www.eztiger.org/2008/08/removing-and-re-adding-a-disk-in-gmirror/
hoping that the rebuld failure was temprary
and so i tried to just run 
# gmirror forget gm0
# gmirror insert gm0 ad4

But the system responded (if i remember correctly)  
Unknown provider ad4.
The system no longer could see ad4 being online.

So i rebooted the system many times and had these results:
-When having put offline ad4 (disconnected by hardware), the system booted ok.
-When having both disks online the system responded consistently 
with:
GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot add disk ad6 to gm0 (error=22).
Which IMO is not very ok, since gm0 should add ad6 without problem,
no matter if ad4 is online or not.
-When having only ad4 online, then it simply cannot find gm0 at all. (kind of 
reasonable)

So my only option is to have only ad6 online, with a current gmirror status:
panix# gmirror status
  NameStatus  Components
mirror/gm0  COMPLETE  ad6

Anyone has an idea of how should i proceed (besides buying a UPS unit!)
Is it meaningfull to go for a new Disk to replace current ad4?
Why is the presence of the supposed bad disk ad4, affecting gm0,
when having already told gm0 to forget about ad4?

Thanx for any suggestions.

Re: FreeBSD 7.1 opencrypto -- kern.cryptodevallowsoft

2009-05-18 Thread Brendan Kennedy

Hi Brian, Patrick,

Thanks for your responses. I agree that it looks like a bug! I'm a bit
of a newb to FreeBSD. Where should I go to log this?

I ran (as root ;) )

 openssl engine
(padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, no-ACE)
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support
(cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine
 [RSA, DSA, DH]

It can be seen only PKE functions are being shown as accelerated.
'kldstat' only shows cryptodev.ko, but that's because I have 'crypto'
compiled as part of the kernel.

I have found another issue here also - although 'openssl engine -c'
shows correct accelerated functionality of the hardware driver,
running a speed test (e.g. openssl speed des-ede3 -engine cryptodev)
does not result in any messages being sent to the driver apart from
the initial check for available algorithms. It seems only accelerated
PKE functions are run through the driver. It may be that the symmetric
functions are being run through the software device driver
(cryptosoft)...

Could it be down to cryptodev engine being loaded twice in OpenSSL? Or
would cryptodev favour the software driver if CRYPTO_F_HARDWARE is not
set?

Regards,
Brendan

 Hi All,

 I'm trying to test a hardware crypto driver, but want to run my tests
 through the software driver first (and possibly use the software
 driver to validate results).
 I have set the following in my GENERIC conf file:


 What does kldstat(8) / openssl(1) return?

 % sudo openssl engine
 (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

 $ openssl engine
 (cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine
 (padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, no-ACE)
 (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

 $ kldstat |egrep -i 'cry|ub'
  3    3 0xc0e06000 25b78    crypto.ko
  7    1 0xc64c9000 4000     cryptodev.ko
  8    1 0xc6546000 a000     ubsec.ko


 Return?

 ~BAS


 device          crypto
 device          enc
 options         IPSEC

 I have rebuilt the kernel, rebooted and set the
 kern.cryptodevallowsoft kernel variable to 1:

 FreeBSD_26# sysctl -a | grep crypto
 kern.cryptodevallowsoft: 1

 However, when I try a test, I get the following:

 FreeBSD_26# /usr/src/tools/tools/crypto/cryptotest -va 3des
 cipher 3des keylen 24
 CIOCGSESSION: Invalid argument
 FreeBSD_26# /usr/src/tools/tools/crypto/cryptotest -va des
 cipher des keylen 8
 CIOCGSESSION: Invalid argument

 It seems the software crypto device is not available. Do I need to do
 any other steps to enable it? Is there another config option that
 makes sure it is build as part of Opencrypto framework? Do I need to
 build some other software driver instead?

 Best Regards,
 Brendan

I'd recommend attaching the bad disk on its own to a system and perform
tests on it. Is the BIOS recognizing this properly? I would run hardware
tests on it - either manufacturer ones, or stuff like
sysutils/smartmontools. You could also try  installing FreeBSD on it and
see if it works.  And probably use dd to clean all the contents, esp.
the partition table and the last sector where geom information is stored.

 Why is the presence of the supposed bad disk ad4, affecting gm0,
 when having already told gm0 to forget about ad4?
   

The bad disk may be sending confusing signals to the bus / IDE
interface. I've had this once (although it was due to a bad cable). The
entire mirror would disappear suddenly.

USB-to-serial adapter configuration

Hi all:

How does one configure settings for  USB-to-serial adapter in FreeBSD ?

The one i have purchased is 
http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=CHEAP-SERIALcats=199catid=482%2C1303%2C199%2C461%2C106%2C1009%2C601

On the Gentoo box, 'lsusb' displays it as:
 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 067b:2303 
 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

i have to access a headless AMD64X2 box running FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE, 
from a FreeBSD 8.0 laptop.

So far, i've used 'cu' and '/dev/cu0a', but thats because both
the systems had a serial port interface.

The key info i'm looking for is:
 . what is the driver to load
 . what is the device entry to look for
 . is 'cu' good enough or i need to install some other tool


thanks
Saifi.

Yes, the BIOS recognizes it ok i suppose.

Scilab

2009-05-18 Thread cblasius

Hello,

is there any progress with port math/scilab on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE on AMD64 ?

I checked that port (math/scilab) about 2 months ago and today and
still is the following information:
# make install clean
===  scilab-4.1.2_3 is marked as broken: segfaults during build on
FreeBSD amd64/7.x.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/math/scilab.

I try also under /compat/linux with emulators/linux_base-f8, but with
no succes, when
I downloaded linux version from: www.scilab.org

I got the following information:

 /compat/linux/bin/bash

bash-3.2$ /opt/scilab-5.1.1/bin/scilab
ELF binary type 0 not known.
/compat/linux/opt/scilab-5.1.1/bin/scilab: line 133:
/compat/linux/opt/scilab-5.1.1/bin/scilab-bin: cannot execute binary
file


Here is the output for linux
 sysctl compat.linux
compat.linux.oss_version: 198144
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
compat.linux.osname: Linux


Is maybe someone who use that version of scilab (5.1.1) under /compat/linux ?
If yes, I would like ask you for help, how to install scilab correctly
and use it.

Thank you for your help and time.

Your adapter should be recognised by the uplcom driver. put uplcom_load=YES 
in loader.conf
or load manually. Check dmesg for the device name.
Also, I think cu is good enough ;)

Re: proftpd TLS

From the error message, I can suspect that proftpd tries to
use mlock(2) to lock some page in physical memory. That's
typical behavior with programs dealing with sensitive data,
as passwords. The mlock system call can only by used by the
superuser. Is proftpd running with superuser privileges?

no pkg for apache13 in 7.2

2009-05-18 Thread Fbsd1


In 7.1 and previous  pkg_add -r apache  fetched apache13.
Now in release 7.2  pkg_add -r apache  installs apache22.
Looks like someone made apache22 the default pkg and did not
point this out in the release notes or bother to create a
named package for apace13 in the Latest directory.
Is apache13 at end-of-life??

 I run 7.1-PRERELEASE, its a home server.
 today morning after a power failure, the rebuild my root gm0 failed on disk

 The messages were:

 May 18 08:02:08 panix kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider 
 ad4 stopped.
 
 I read 
 http://www.eztiger.org/2008/08/removing-and-re-adding-a-disk-in-gmirror/
 hoping that the rebuld failure was temprary
 and so i tried to just run 
 # gmirror forget gm0
 # gmirror insert gm0 ad4
 
 But the system responded (if i remember correctly)  
 Unknown provider ad4.
 The system no longer could see ad4 being online.

Yes, as you were informed by the device detached message - after that
point the ad4 was removed from /dev.

 So i rebooted the system many times and had these results:
 -When having put offline ad4 (disconnected by hardware), the system booted ok.
 -When having both disks online the system responded consistently 
 with:
 GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot add disk ad6 to gm0 (error=22).

Which means that gm0 was somehow created before - maybe from the stale
ad4 copy? If so, you are attempting to add a newer generation of data
(from ad6) to a gm0 instantiated from an older generation (from ad4).
This could explain the error code (22=invalid argument).

OTOH if you only have ad6 in the system this means you are trying to
insert ad6 into a mirror which is already instantiated by ad6 - which is
trivially wrong.

 Which IMO is not very ok, since gm0 should add ad6 without problem,
 no matter if ad4 is online or not.

You cannot really expect the system to behave correctly with broken
hardware.

 -When having only ad4 online, then it simply cannot find gm0 at all. (kind of 
 reasonable)

Relatively. Is the ad4 recognized by the system? You didn't really clear
metadata on ad4 so it should be recognized, but as a stale version
(hopefully). If it isn't recognized at all, then it's broken.

 So my only option is to have only ad6 online, with a current gmirror status:
 panix# gmirror status
   NameStatus  Components
 mirror/gm0  COMPLETE  ad6

This is ok.

 Anyone has an idea of how should i proceed (besides buying a UPS unit!)
 Is it meaningfull to go for a new Disk to replace current ad4?

Yes. Then proceed with gmirror insert.

 Why is the presence of the supposed bad disk ad4, affecting gm0,
 when having already told gm0 to forget about ad4?

It's relatively common (it was more common in the days of PATA cables)
to have a bad drive interfering with the rest of the system.

MIPS XBurst performance?

I have seen some really low-weight, cheap laptops that use the:
  MIPS XBurst 400 MHz CPU.

Does it perform well ..?

An Intel Celeron 900 MHz Will do mpeg4 (divx/h264), is this CPU likely to

 My plan:

  % Blowfish encrypt mykey with a passphrase only I know. Backup the
  encrypted blowfish key to a remote host.
 
  % Keep track of when I last ran the backup program (touch
  /some/path/timestamp at start of run) and only backup files that've
  been modified more recently (find / -newer /some/path/timestamp).
 
  % To backup foo.txt, first bzip2 it and encrypt w/ my blowfish key.
 
  % Then, take the sha1 hash of the bzip'd/encrypted file, and backup
  foo.txt to remotehost:/some/path/{sha1 hash}.
 
  % To avoid too many files in one dir, I may backup

  % In an SQLite3 db, record the filename I'm backing up, its
  timestamp, and its bzip'd/encrypted hash. Store an encrypted copy of
  the db on the remote server.
 
 I like this plan because it does versioned backups, and doesn't backup
 identical files twice. I dislike it because I lose Mozy's unlimited
 disk space.
 
 Questions:
 
  % Does this plan seem secure and reasonable?
 
  % Will backing up the 0-byte file this way make it easy to guess my

  % Is there software that already does this?
 
  % Can this plan be improved?

I'd have to agree with this... After looking at a lot of options, I  
ended up building a simple freebsd server and connected it to my main  
server on a separate ethernet port via a twisted ethernet cable.  
Thus, the server and backup server had a 'private', high speed  
connection and I can pump tons of data through that connection  
without paying my colo provider for that bandwidth.


A whole server, rather than a USB drive might be overkill, but its a  
little more flexible, and I can use the backup server for a DNS  
server, and a few other things, as well.

Probably not without specialized decoding hardware. OTOH it depends on
the resolution of the video stream.

I don't think you can count on running FreeBSD on such hardware out of
the box - they are usually specialized solution and cannot be considered
generic consumer products as far as operating systems are concerned.

CURRENT evince, firefox, ... dont see CUPS

Hello,

I've installed a relatively new CURRENT on a laptop and applications
from /usr/ports; I can't make evince, firefox3, Evolution, ... using the 
installed CUPS
system (KDE works fine with CUPS). Sure I'm missing something because in my
older RELENG_7 system the evince has linked in a lot of Gnome support:

ldd /usr/local/bin/evince | fgrep gnome

libgnome-2.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libgnome-2.so.0 (0x2821b000)
libgnomevfs-2.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 (0x2822f000)

(0x2881e000)
libgnomecanvas-2.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libgnomecanvas-2.so.0

while on the CURRENT is has only:

ldd /usr/local/bin/evince | fgrep gnome
libgnome-keyring.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0

but I don't see how to activate this; the above mentioned libgnomeprint*

Try looking up the USB-ID line for your device and modify the uplcom flags 
(TYPE_XXX) for your device so that it does not require init for example.

/* TrendNet TU-S9 */
{USB_UPL(USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303, 0x0400, 
0x, TYPE_PL2303X)},
/* ST Lab USB-SERIAL-4 */
{USB_UPL(USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303, 0x0300, 
0x03FF, TYPE_PL2303X)},
/* IOGEAR/ATEN UC-232A (also ST Lab USB-SERIAL-1) */
{USB_UPL(USB_VENDOR_PROLIFIC, USB_PRODUCT_PROLIFIC_PL2303, 0, 0x02FF, 
TYPE_PL2303)},

Use:

usbconfig dump_device_desc

To get the version number for your chip (See 0, 0x02FF above) Make sure that 
the TYPE flag is correct.

Also see: /sys/dev/usb/serial/uplcom.c

Then:

make -C /sys/modules/usb/uplcom clean all install

 Looks like someone made apache22 the default pkg and did not
 point this out in the release notes or bother to create a
 named package for apace13 in the Latest directory.
 Is apache13 at end-of-life??

Hi Jin:

You need to add an additional line to your 'ServerLayout' or

Why would a kill -2 not work?

Under what circumstances might a kill -2 nnn not work. I have a Python app 
with a signal handler configured to catch INT signals. It seems to work fine, 
but we've recently noticed that after the app has run for a while the kill -2 
no longer works. This seems pretty suspicious, perhaps indicating our app is 
misbehaving in some way. What might cause the signal handler to stop working? 

Is there a better list for this question?

Re: Disappointed with version 6.0

Hi, I was reading this thread as the problem I'm having seems quite similar,

The only variation on the dialog below is I do not have any CDROM or other

You've got a problem alright, and you don't even see it.

 

==

The ata driver sets the maximum transfer mode supported by the hardware 

as default.  However the ata driver sometimes warns: ``DMA limited to 

UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device''.  This means that the ata driver 

has detected that the required 80 conductor cable is not present or 

could not be detected properly, or that one of the devices on the 

channel only accepts up to UDMA2/ATA33.

==

 

You've got your 40GB Maxtor (you've installed FreeBSD on it), an ATA100 

device, connected with your CDROM, an ATA33 device. The result is: your 

boot drive is running at UDMA33 instead of UDMA100. This is not going 

to work real well, as you can see.

 

Do you really need that 40GB Maxtor? If you do, you're going to have to 

try adding an ATA controller card into one of your PCI slots and use 

that to connect your hard drives to.

 

Try removing the 40GB Maxtor and reinstalling FreeBSD on the other two 

drives. I think that will clear up some problems for you.

Weird problem with gmirror - cannot add the Good disk when previously failed SATA disk is online

Hello,
I run 7.1-PRERELEASE, its a home server.
today morning after a power failure, the rebuild my root gm0 failed on disk ad4.
The messages were:

May 18 08:02:02 panix kernel: ad4: WARNING - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error 
(retrying request) LBA=268091264
May 18 08:02:08 panix kernel: drm0: Intel i865G GMCH on vgapci0

disconnected.
May 18 08:02:08 panix kernel: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad4 
stopped.

I read http://www.eztiger.org/2008/08/removing-and-re-adding-a-disk-in-gmirror/
hoping that the rebuld failure was temprary
and so i tried to just run 
# gmirror forget gm0
# gmirror insert gm0 ad4

But the system responded (if i remember correctly)  
Unknown provider ad4.
The system no longer could see ad4 being online.

So i rebooted the system many times and had these results:
-When having put offline ad4 (disconnected by hardware), the system booted ok.
-When having both disks online the system responded consistently 
with:
GEOM_MIRROR: Cannot add disk ad6 to gm0 (error=22).
Which IMO is not very ok, since gm0 should add ad6 without problem,
no matter if ad4 is online or not.
-When having only ad4 online, then it simply cannot find gm0 at all. (kind of 
reasonable)

So my only option is to have only ad6 online, with a current gmirror status:
panix# gmirror status
  NameStatus  Components
mirror/gm0  COMPLETE  ad6

Anyone has an idea of how should i proceed (besides buying a UPS unit!)
Is it meaningfull to go for a new Disk to replace current ad4?
Why is the presence of the supposed bad disk ad4, affecting gm0,
when having already told gm0 to forget about ad4?

Thanx for any suggestions.

umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT

Hi,

 I just bought a Lacie 500GB USB2 hard drive, formatted for NTFS and was
trying to mount it on my FreeBSD 7.2 system using ntfs-3g.  It is plugged
into a PCI, 5-port USB2 card (when I plugged in into my onboard USB1 port,
everything worked fine).  

 

When I try to mount using 

  ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/bigdrive

 

it just sort of hangs there, can't even cntrl-C.  My dmesg shows

 

umass0: LaCie LaCie Hard Drive USB, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2 on
uhub2

da0: 40.000MB/s transfers

da0: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 60801C)

GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1 is ntfs/LaCie.

GEOM_LABEL: Label ntfs/LaCie removed.

umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT

umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT

umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, TIMEOUT

 

 

I've tried ntfs-3g.probe -r /dev/da0s1 /mnt/bigdrive 

 and it just returned, so I hope it would mount read-only at least.  But
once it's in this state of trying the -rw, I can't do much with it at all. 

 

I've tried upgrading ntfs-3g and the same problem occurs, current version
I'm using is 

 ntfs-3g 2009.2.1 external FUSE 27 - Third Generation NTFS Driver

 

Any ideas?

  dmesg output is at the end of this post when I booted without fstab

  The strange thing is that the two drives on the secondary controller

 You've got a problem alright, and you don't even see it.



 ==

 The ata driver sets the maximum transfer mode supported by the hardware

 as default.  However the ata driver sometimes warns: ``DMA limited to

 UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device''.  This means that the ata driver

 has detected that the required 80 conductor cable is not present or

 could not be detected properly, or that one of the devices on the

 channel only accepts up to UDMA2/ATA33.

 ==



 You've got your 40GB Maxtor (you've installed FreeBSD on it), an ATA100

 device, connected with your CDROM, an ATA33 device. The result is: your

 boot drive is running at UDMA33 instead of UDMA100. This is not going

 to work real well, as you can see.



 Do you really need that 40GB Maxtor? If you do, you're going to have to

 try adding an ATA controller card into one of your PCI slots and use

 that to connect your hard drives to.



 Try removing the 40GB Maxtor and reinstalling FreeBSD on the other two

 drives. I think that will clear up some problems for you.

Do you have the 80-wire IDE cable? The older 40-wire cables do not permit 
speeds faster than DMA-33.

Re: umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT

Any ideas? 

I can't offer any solutions but I can tell you that we've seen this exactly 
problem, and many times. I have a script that copies a tar image into a USB 
thumb drive and that operation fails frequently. To better guarantee success, I 
have to boot the system first, and then the copy command works reliably. If I 
don't do a reboot, I see this same kind of failure, usually as much as 50% of 
the time. My impression is that USB drive support is simply not that solid.

Re: Why would a kill -2 not work?

The main reason might be that your process is already in another  
signal handler or is otherwise blocked in a system call and won't get  
the new signal until it completes the current situation.


The amount of stuff you're allowed to do safely in a signal handler is  
pretty minimal-- you're better off setting a flag, returning from the  
signal handler, and having the next run past the main event loop or  
whatever check for the flag and handle things in a normal app

Re: Backing up FreeBSD and other Unix systems securely

2009-05-18 Thread Karl Vogel

 On Sun, 17 May 2009 09:12:57 -0700, 
 Kelly Jones kelly.terry.jo...@gmail.com said:

K I like this plan because it does versioned backups, and doesn't backup
K identical files twice. I dislike it because I lose Mozy's unlimited disk
K space.

K % Is there software that already does this?

   I have a 3-Tbyte server running FreeBSD-6.1 that does something very
   similar.  I don't bother with encrypting the filenames or hashes
   because we control the box, and if I'm not at work, other admins
   might need to restore something quickly.

   We have around 3.7 million files from 5 other servers backed up
   under two 1.5-Tbyte filesystems, /mir01 and /mir02.  My setup looks
   like this:

 +-mir01
 |  +-HASH
 |  |  +-00
 |  |  |  +-00
 |  |  |  +-01
  ...
 |  |  +-01
   ...
 |  |  +-fe
 |  |  +-ff
 |  +-server1
 |  +-server2
 +-mir02
 |  +-HASH
 |  +-server3
 |  +-server4
 |  +-server5

   The HASH directories have two levels of subdirectories 00-ff.
   That's been more than sufficient to keep directories from getting
   too big; I average around 25 files per directory.

   I do hourly backups on the other fileservers using something like the
   find and timestamp method you mentioned, but I ignore 0-length files
   because they always hash to the same value.  The backup directories
   for the second fileserver look like this for 5 May 2009:

 +-mir01
 |  +-server2
 |  |  +-2009
 |  |  |  +-0505
 |  |  |  |  +-070700
 |  |  |  |  |  +-doc  (filesystem)
 |  |  |  |  |  +-home
 |  |  |  |  +-080700
 |  |  |  |  |  +-doc
 |  |  |  |  |  +-home
 ...
 |  |  |  |  +-190700
 |  |  |  |  |  +-home

   After the backups are rsynced to the backup server, I find any regular
   files with only one link, compute the RMD160 hash of the contents, and
   make a hardlink to the appropriate filename under the HASH directory.
   People love to make copies of copies of files, so this really cuts down
   on the disk space used.

   The hardlinks make it easy to avoid restoring things that aren't what
   the user had in mind; if a file's been corrupted, I can tell when it
   happened just by looking at the inode, so I don't restore an earlier
   version that's also junk.  I can also tell if there were duplicates
   anywhere on the fileserver at the time the user lost the good version;
   it's a lot faster for them to get a known good copy from somewhere
   else on the fileserver than it is to restore over the network.

   The software is just a few scripts to do things like find files with
   just one link, compute hashes, do hardlinks, etc.  I can put up a tarball
   if anyone's interested.

ppc install problem

Hello,

I attempt to boot the ppc 7.2 install cd on a G4 Tower (Yikes!, I believe).
It gets past open firmware without problem.  It enters the normal boot
process for FreeBSD.  It starts loading drivers, and it fails on loading

machine freezes.

Do you know what piece of hardware bmac is initing, and can you imagine what

Re: What is the highest hard drive read/write speed you were able to achieve by entire disk mirroring or striping?

2009-05-18 Thread Yuri


Wojciech Puchar wrote:

I am seeing 85MB/s as a speed of a single Hitachi 1TB HD.
How high can you go by mirroring or striping 2, 3, 4 harddrives?


mirroring - the same, just with 2 processes reading both can get the 
bandwidth. make sure you use -s high enough (like 1048576) doing 
gmirror label


stripping - the same, or 2,3,4 times, depends how you configure.
for highest transfer and lowest concurrency (you mostly read huge 
files with one process) - use small stripe size.
for lowest transfer (=1 disk) and highest concurency - use very huge 
stripe size like 512MB, so simply different process reading different 
things can hit different drives, but each I/O isn't spread.


So if I will put 6 hard drives with stripping each of them is 85MB/s (in 
the beginning sectors) I will get 6X85MB/s=4.08Gb/s?


Is it reasonable to expect this kind of speed? Something tells me that 
there will be some other factors like bus speed that would potentially 
limit the speed in such case.

No, that is not reasonable (but in a perfect world, would be correct).

You are limited by the bus speed and controller buffer speed
(whichever is slower).

Ati and Xorg.conf

Hi,

I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400. I fresh installed FreeBSD 7.2 for AMD64.
I added the Xorg support and Gnome desktop.
With the autoconfig Xserver feature, the whole system freezes. With
the xorg.conf file generated by the -configure option, the system
freezes too.

I've tried several different drivers (ati, radeonhd...) but I can only
bring X up with the vesa driver.
Which driver is the best one (features vs stability) taking into
account that I don't want to run any fancy desktop features?
How can I configure it?

Thanks in advance.

You're not trying to send a signal within the signal handler itself,

 ifconfig_bce0=inet 10.2.17.8 netmask 255.255.0.0

and output from:

   dhclient bc0

 I ran that on a local machine and it hung up the interface, requiring a warm 
 reboot.

 I'll see what happens with my client's machine.


I assume you substituted the correct interface name? (bce0 in place of bc0)

Just took a quick peek at my pfsense machine hp D530 USDT which has a broadcom 
gigabit NIC, phpsysinfo reports bge0: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet 
Controller, ASIC rev. 0x3003. Might be worth trying that driver.

In 7.1 and previous  pkg_add -r apache  fetched apache13.
Now in release 7.2  pkg_add -r apache  installs apache22.
Looks like someone made apache22 the default pkg and did not
point this out in the release notes or bother to create a
named package for apace13 in the Latest directory.
Is apache13 at end-of-life??

using apache13 here on 7.2.. just build it from ports  



Building from port does not address the posted problem.
Can also get pkg from 7.1.

Re: Why would a kill -2 not work?

You're not trying to send a signal within the signal handler itself, 
are you? That won't work-- signal delivery is blocked when you're 
already running in a signal handler. Also, note that trying to mix 
signals with a multithreaded process is complicated 

No, I'm not sending a signal within a signal. The signal handler is this: 

pthread_mutex_lock(keep_running_mutex); 
KEEP_RUNNING = 0; 
pthread_cond_signal(keep_running_cond); 
pthread_mutex_unlock(keep_running_mutex); 

This works fine, but at some point it seems to stop working. The app just 
continues to run as if it never received the -2 signal. We have to use a kill 
-9 to kill it, which we want to avoid because this prevents our shutdown code 
from executing.

The pthread_* calls you are making aren't listed as being safe to run  
within the context of a signal handler, and could cause a thread  
waiting on that condition to be unblocked and start running.  Please  
see earlier comments about mixing threads and signal handlers.

Hi:

What is the extent of Dom0 support for FreeBSD 8.x with Xen
3.3.x ?

My interest is to run multiple guest OS hosted on a Xen-ified
(aka paravirtualized) FreeBSD 8.x on a multi-core intel or AMD64
box.

Any pointers or observations ?


thanks

Re: What is the highest hard drive read/write speed you were able to achieve by entire disk mirroring or striping?

No, that is not reasonable (but in a perfect world, would be correct).

You are limited by the bus speed and controller buffer speed
(whichever is slower).
  



My motherboard has PCI Express v2.0, that is 500MB/s limitation.
Also it has HD/RAID controller Intel ICH10R Southbidge that has peak 
SATA Data Rate 300MB/s.

So this brings me to 300MB/s limit.
So 3X harddrives at 85MB/s will still scale. And 4X will already show 
the limitation.

2009-05-18 Thread Adrian Chadd

I don't think there's any support for Dom0 stuff in FreeBSD.

http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/Xen has further information about what
is and isn't supported at this time.
