Re: weird problem with 9.0 Release and ed0

I'm running a natd gateway machine that was developing strange behaviour such that the outside interface (ed0, BNC connector) that was connected via a small media converter switch to the providers sync line had dropouts. The machine couldn't ping into the Internet and also couldn't be pinged. I first thought it was the switch/media converter, but another (Windows XP) machine that was on the same BNC cable worked flawlessly. That XP box was directly on the outside, not inside nat'd via this one? So I decided to migrate that 5.1 machine to a 9.0 machine. The situation now is that I have the9.0 machine at the BNC cable and simultanously the old FreeBSD 5.1 gateway on the same BNC cable but through a TP adapter. This was the old machine works fine and I can care about the new machine. Not quite clear .. can you sketch your network configuration? Is there a known problem with ed0 cards that have the Realtek 8029 chipset. Do they need some special flags like memory mapping or irq? Long time since I've run anything with 10base2/BNC, but it used to work ok, on an ed0. When I for example boot the 9.0 machine the comping up of the em0 (on mainboard interface results in a highlighted kernel message on the console. The coming up of the ed0 is not flagged this way. And as a result the ed0 interface seems to be dead. Does the outside interface have a static address, or do you use DHCP via the provider's switch/hub/whatever? Show /etc/rc.conf setup. It smells a bit like the interface may not be up soon enough at that time; the ntpd message below could also indicate something like that re ipv6.

Re: NFS within a Jail?!
Since your the expert on unfs3 because you have it working, would you share some technical configuration information with us? Such as What statements do you have in the host:server and remote:client /etc/rc.conf to auto start them at boot time? in client - as with any NFS, use kernel klient. on server - just run unfsd anywhere, like /etc/rc.local Do you really cannot use any program without rc.d script? ;) How do you disable the kernel nfs version so it don't interfere with unfs3? Just don't enable it in /etc/rc.conf You may have it in kernel. i did, now i don't. both works. What does your export file look like on both the host:server and remote:client sides. as described in manual of unfsd. basics are same, details are not. Then about unfs3 performance; how many concurrent remote:clients do you service? Doe's access elapse time get longer as more concurrent over 60 but not high load clients so performance doesn't matter. That's X terminals booting over NFS. Sometimes i do more - example is net-booting windoze PC to be able to do some recovery OR backup large amount of data to server. There is no practical performance difference in that settings. BUT - do make configure, then search where fsync is called and comment it out. Right - not conformant, but the performance difference on writes are enormous. Unless you do such a stupid things like running database servers over NFS, you don't need this conformance. Just do it. Do you run unfs3 in a jail on both the host:server and remote:client sides? Not now. but tried. unfs doesn't need ANY special kernel calls. It runs just like any program using UDP/TCP communication. jail/no jail doesn't make a difference. As with most programs. In kernel point of view it is just a program that use TCP/IP stack and open/read/write/readdir/etc. Nothing else. Are there any sysctl nob settings needed to make unfs3 run in a jail? as above. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The man unfsd does not contain any information about what statements to put in /etc/rc.conf to get unfs3 started at boot time. because manual doesn't contain info about rc.d scripts. this is normal. unfsd port doesn't give you rc.d script. add your own if you need it so much, otherwise just run it with options as described in manual. put it in /etc/rc.local to start at every boot. no real need to perform special shutdown of it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Chad Since you manually installed apache22 and mod_fcgid from up-stream sources maybe you missed something. As a test create another jail and install the package versions of apache22 and mod_fcgid and see if that will start ok. If it does them you know you missed something in your hand job version. Hi Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think, however, that anything is missing with my from-source compilations. I have been running self-compiled apaches for 15 years and have also done mod_fcgid in the past as well without issue (but not inside a jail). I don't think it is a matter of sw missing, but of system parameters or similar.' Thanks Chad

ZFS stats in top -- ZFS performance started being crappy in spurts
Hi I have a FreeBSD 9 system with ZFS root. It is actually a VM under Xen on a beefy piece of HW (4 core Sandy Bridge 3ghz Xeon, total HW memory 32GB -- VM has 4vcpus and 6GB RAM). Mirrored gpart partitions. I am looking for data integrity more than performance as long as performance is reasonable (which it has more than been the last 3 months). The other servers on the same HW, the other VMs on the same, don't have this problem but are set up the same way. There are 4 other FreeBSD VMs, one running email for a one man company and a few of his friends, as well as some static web pages and stuff for him, one runs a few low use web apps for various customers, and one runs about 30 websites with apache and nginx, mostly just static sites. None are heavily used. There is also one VM with linux running a couple low use FrontBase databases. Not high use database -- low use ones. The troubleseome VM has been running fine for over 3 months since I installed it.Level of use has been pretty much constant. The server runs 4 jails on it, each dedicated to a different bit of email processing for a small number of users. One is a secondary DNS. One runs clamav and spamassassin. One runs exim for incoming and outgoing mail. One runs dovecot for imap and pop. There is no web server or database or anything else running. Total number of mail users on the system is approximately 50, plus or minus. Total mail traffic is very low compared to real mail servers. Earlier this week things started freezing up. It might last a few minutes, or it might last 1/2 hour. Processes become unresponsive. This can last a few minutes or much longer. It eventually resolves itself and things are good for another 10 minutes or 3 hours until it happens again. When it happens, lots of processes are listed in top as zfs zio-i zfs tx-tx db-db state. These processes only get listed in these states when there are problems. What are these states indicative of? Eventually things get going again, these states drop off and the system hums along. Based on some stuff I found in Google (for a person who had a different but somewhat similar problem) I tried setting zfs set primarycache=metadata zroot and zfs set primarycache=none zroot but the problem still happened with approximately the same severity and frequency. (Wanted to see if the system was churning with cache upkeep). What is strange is that this server ran fine for 3 months straight without interruption with the same level of work.

Flashplayer expiration mini-mainframes
Dear FreeBSD - I am looking forward to installing PC-BSD 9.1 at the end of the week!! The Adobe website states that Flashplayer 11.2 will be the last ported to Linux [although it will forever received security updates.] Flashplayer 11.3 I believe is the first to offer 64-bit support. It is rumored here that Opera 12.5 is to be 64-bit - and could be ready now except that Opera is writing their own Flashplayer like plugin. Are we that lucky? I have been thinking about nearly commodity mini-mainframes for some months and it appears that FreeBSD is the most well positioned. I have heard that 1 in 6 'PC' server buyers asks their vendor for mainframe functions such as are provided by ia64. Surely ASUS and Supermicro would know that. I do not know how long it takes to write a kernel but I here the Linux camp is whispering that they need an ia64 kernel. FreeBSD must have been optimizing it ia64 kernel for at least 6 years. Is FreeBSD that lucky?
