Memory problem
Hello; I'm running a qmailrocks install + DNS server here. Hosting 14 domains and their respective e-mail accounts. Everything seems to be working fine.

I know that, in its course of work, a few of those processes do not properly return memory back to the system. The machine was last restarted exactly a week ago (last wednesday). Now 'top' shows me this: -- last pid: 17204; load averages: 0.00, 0.04, 0.06 up 5+21:00:50 11:18:58 135 processes: 1 running, 132 sleeping, 2 zombie CPU states: 0.6% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.2% interrupt, 98.9% idle Mem: 379M Active, 1915M Inact, 256M Wired, 119M Cache, 214M Buf, 415M Free Swap: 5120M Total, 5120M Free -- Here are my questions: Is this a "normal thing" to happen with memory in just one week? Does the '1915M Inact' means "zombie memory" (non-returned)? Is there a manual garbage collector i could run?

Would you have a how-to video?" I wasn't making fun OF him but the possibility, the image of, that he really meant "assemble a laptop" sounded funny, that's ALL. Nothing else!. English is a foreign language for me one day. I am not a native english speaker. When I was learning english during my 6 months of exchange student in a Pendlenton high school in Indiana back in 1975, I knew people would make fun of me. I EXPECTED that !. Among teenagers there is no politness. If you say something that sounds funny to them, they will laugh at you in a split second. No second thoughts about it. I had to accept my mistakes and laugh about them too, otherwise I would go nuts. And their laughs caused me no trauma at all. Being a foreign student from Brasil in a 400 people town in those days was almost like being from mars. I went to an elementry school where the students were assembled to hear me talk about my country. And I sttod up and said: "In Brasil we have lots of soccer championSHITS". All the kids broke into a roaring laughter. I was a little embarassed at first. I didn't know what I said wrong. As soon as someone told me what I said, I joined the kids. I did not expect my microscopic comment to offend anyone. I sincerelly apologize and I swear that will never ever post an out-of-freebsd-subject comment again.

Qemu network question

I turned my FBSD desktop into a router/gateway, put pf to nat everything and set up an independent smb server on the host. Pings travel on any direction!. The guests have access to ALL the host's files and vice versa, BOTH guests have internet access and best of all, I can access the linux guest through an ssh shell and the windows guest through vncviewer, and, of course, the 2 guests see each other ! Imagine how happy I am ! I tried this without turning my desktop into a gateway. The guests had internet access but the host was invisible to them and I got tired of trying to make qemu's -smb option work, so I adapted this "a-bit radical" approach I saw on a how-to for Sun OS I found on the net. I'm really impressed with qemu performance !. I´ve compiled kernels, built RPMs and the reduction in performance from doing these things in a separate machine is really endurable. My question is: If I don't put re0 into promiscous mode, all of this falls apart ! The network goes totally down for the host<->guests, but the host retains its internet conectivity. I discovered that by chance! I was trying to find out what was happening with conectivity so I tried pinging the host from the linux guest. As soon as I started tcpdump on the host, the pings went through so I found out what I needed from there. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my NIC? setup?

I have FreeBSD papi 8.0-RC1 and fusefs works perfectly via mount & fstab.
Did you replace the original mount_ntfs with ntfs-3g like bellow?
cd /sbin
mv -f mount_ntfs mount_ntfs-kern
ln -s /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g mount_ntfs
After that, any call to mount_ntfs will grant RW to the disk.

Tunning 8.0 for multiple VMs (VBox)
Hi to all; I have a system where I will be running 5 VBox VMs (3 W2K3, 1 XP & 1 Linux) for a lab simulation (work obligations). I have already ran the 5 VMs with a regular load on each and everything went fine. I think VBox is truly a great VM Manager, and it runs better (smoother and faster) in FBSD than in any other OS I tried it (Ubuntu, Winblows and OpenSolaris (!) ). Along the years, I've been running FBSD, picking up info from any "Tuning FreeBSD" guide I could find, starting with the handbook of course, going through articles and mailing list archives, trying to find a balance that would fit my desktop, among the several roles FreeBSD is used for. I would like to expose the hardware/settings I have now to the list, to see if what I've done is appropriate, over or under rated (or simply stupid), to squeeze every drop of performance FreeBSD can give with what I have. It is pretty fast as it is but it never hurts attempting to make it even better. Please bear 2 things in mind: 1) I am trying to learn here; 2) This is a Desktop machine (not a server!), sitting on my home LAN, behind a properly configured (again, to the best of my modest ability) firewall. It is used for everyday tasks, plus developing and music production. I am posting what I believe to be most relevant. Thank you all before hand for any advice.

amdtemp problem
Hi to all; Up to amd64 8-RC3, amdtemp correctly reported the temperature of my phenom processor(s). From 8-RELEASE on (i'm on STABLE now), the temperature readings starts at 37C, dropping to 0 in about 2 minutes, and there it stays. I had saved the /usr/src/sys/dev/amdtemp/amdtemp.c file from the 8-RC3 file and compared it to the STABLE version, and they are the same, so I figured something changed elsewhere. Would anyone have a hint to where I should look into to make it work again?

Just installed it and rebooted now. :D You're welcome Rolf! The driver DOES rock, doesn't it? How is it working for you? any instabilities? I am having some issues with virtualbox and KDE4. KDE has 2 options for composite: OpenGL and xRender I have composite enabled with openGl. If any vbox guest (winedows actually) has 3d acceleration enabled, the host freezes completely. only the reset button works ! I have to completely disable 3d accel on the Win guests. But if composite is done with Xrender, the 3d accel on the guests doesn't freeze the host, but I loose a lot of performance, smoothness and most of the desktop effects on KDE. I followed the advice on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=58498 to enable HPET and that seemed to improve things on this issue but I still have to keep 3d disabled Other than that, EVERYTHING else works perfectly. nVidia is much superior than my onboard radeon HD 3300, which I unceremoniously dumped for a GeForce 9800 GT. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since version 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio YET!!] (99,7% winfoes FREE) ___ 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"
[OT?] tcpdump overhead
Hi there; Forgive this possible OT (and lame) question. I am writing a final paper for a PG course and I need to take precise measurements on network performance. I gonna be doing lots of packet dumps and I would like to know you guys' opinion on how much of tcpdump overhead (if meaningful for these measurements) I should take into account. If there are any readings on the subject you could point me to...

I use qemu-launch because it does everything you need to create a virtual machine. Here are my pertinent configs: 1) # rc.conf ifconfig_re0="up polling" <- no IP here ! autobridge_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_bridge0="tap0 re0" <- important even if tap0 does not exist yet cloned_interfaces="bridge0" # the bridge gets the IP ifconfig_bridge0="inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" 2) tell QEMU launch to open a tap device 3) tap up script to run when invoking the machine(s). # qemu-net #!/usr/local/bin/bash $1 = tap ifac created /sbin/ifconfig $1 up # test if tap is already added TEST=`ifconfig -a | grep -A 6 bridge | grep $1` if [ "$TEST" == "" ]; then /sbin/ifconfig bridge0 addm $1 fi # add a route to the virtual machine /sbin/route add -host 10.10.10.100 -iface bridge0 Set the gateway on both machines to the same gateway of the host. That's all. This works perfectly for me. If I want both virtual machines up, I have to add another route to the IP of the second machine through the bridge. I did not need to set up samba to access the local drives because I already have a samba server on the gateway and both the host and the guests can see it, and of course, is one less thing to set up at the host. My 2 cents.

Why not:

do
dig +short -x $ips
done

downgrading /sys/src
This may sound wierd but let me explain why. On last may/26, I added a Sound Blaster Live to my machine and I wanted to activate the midi interface of the emu10kx driver. I know there were some memory and timming problems but I wanted to experiment. So I did a csup to 7_CURRENT (which is the tag I always use) then edited emu10kx to coment out the #if 0 that excludes the midi code. I took the oportunity to coment the drivers I did not need to make the kernel smaller. Recompiled and loaded emu10kx from loader.conf. the Kernel crashed right after the acpi_hpet driver load. But by loading emu10kx later, there was no crash and SB board worked fine. A hunch told me to save kernel.old so I moved it to kernel.good which is: FreeBSD lobo 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #1: Thu May 22 18:32:28 BRT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/LOBO i386 After that I went on to make some DVD backups with k3b which ALWAYS worked fine and now, after this upgrade, k3b keeps crashing without finishing. Software and device buffers usage behaved erratically, and even if it doesn't crash, it stops in around 30% with a write error. I lost a few DVDs, since I suspected the DVD+RW may have had something to do with the problem. I recompiled k3b (and the other ports around it) but results were the same. Anyway, after several unsuccessful attempts to correct the problem by removing/re-adding kernel drivers, recompiles and even removing the SB board, I decided to move /boot/kernel to kernel.new, and copied kernel.good to kernel and voilá ! Everything went back to normal and worked fine! What I want to do is to make a copy of my current /src/sys, revert it back to what it was in may/22 (kernel.good) and compare it with the current /src/sys to see what changed that provoked this behavior. I suspect of ata and memory handling changes but it's just a guess. I'd have to have both sources to compare. So my question is: How can I get my /src/sys back to what it was in may/22? can this be done? sorry for the long post and thanks -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since version 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio YET!!] (99,7% winedows FREE) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Ardour is a fine multitrack but no MIDI, at least on FreeBSD. And FBSD itself has lots of issues with MIDI. Besides that, there is the driver problem with most professional sound boards. I am going to attempt something a quite bit out of my league which is try to port the alsa drivers for my echo Gina3G board to FBSD. If I can manage to do that, then I believe the rest will fall on my lap by gravity. I hope I don't blow up my desktop.

The boot manager is nothing but an automatic interruption of the boot process to give you a chance to press a key for the system you want to boot from. But you're right.

Sorry for my last post. Spoke too soon. I found the problem!.
It lies inside devel/boost-libs.
After you issue make patch, apply this to
work/boost_1_48_0/boost/asio/detail/io_control.hpp.
I couldn't manage to produce a proper diff file.
*** 46,52
// Get the name of the IO control command.
ioctl_cmd_type name() const
{
- return static_cast(FIONBIO);
+ return static_cast(FIONBIO);
*** 96,102
// Get the name of the IO control command.
ioctl_cmd_type name() const
{
- return static_cast(FIONREAD);
+ return static_cast(FIONREAD);
}
-Rebuild/reinstall devel/boost-libs
-Rebuild/reinstall net-p2p/libtorrent-rasterbar-16
-Rebuild/reinstall net-p2p/libtorrent-rasterbar-16-python
-Rebuild/reinstall net-p2p/qbittorrent
No more lockups and kernel messages!! :) after I did this, qbittorrent
has been up flawlessly for almost 2 hours.
I don't know how to get in touch with the boost-lib port mantainer so
he/she can fix the port file patch-boost_asio-ioctl to add these
changes.

Since I started using it I have no more freezes in firefox and no more dangling npviewer.bin processes. YouTube plays fine for as many videos as I want. By the way, I never experienced system freezes even when I was using a non- devel wrapper. Only firefox froze with watching flash videos. All I had to do was to kill it and kill the npviewer.bins.

You will have to run sysinstal and go to Configure Do post-install configuration of FreeBSD then Distributions Install additional distribution sets then mark [ ] src Sources for everything Choose the CDROM as installation media.

You said you want to keep the stock kernel you installed so I assume that you haven't updated anything from the internet. You MUST install the source tree from the same DVD/CD from where you installed your running kernel! The diference is that the packages are meant to run on their respective version. I believe that packages that don't rely on a specific thing of one version should run without problems on both.

Problem with PF reply-to
Hi; I have the following scenario. FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Thu May 19 19:53:59 BRT 2011 i386 I want to be able to connect to any of the 2 external IPs this machine has. ### pf.conf excerpt ext_if1 = sis0 (1M link. default gateway) ext_if2 = rl0 (2M link) aln_if = dc0 (Internal LAN) ext_gw1 = A.A.A.A ext_gw2 = B.B.B.B my_ext_ip1 = a.a.a.a my_ext_ip2 = b.b.b.b nat on $ext_if1 from any to any -> $my_ext_ip1 port 1024:65535 nat on $ext_if2 from any to any -> $my_ext_ip2 port 1024:65535 1) - # balance the load pass in log quick on $aln_if route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) from \ $aln_if:network to any flags S/SA keep state tag to_out probability 70% pass in log quick on $aln_if route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) from \ $aln_if:network to any flags S/SA keep state tag to_out 2) - # allow ssh on ext_ifs a)pass in log quick on $ext_if1 inet proto tcp from any to any port $SshPort \ flags S/SA modulate state (max 30, source-track rule, max-src-nodes 10,\ max-src-states 2, max-src-conn 2, max-src-conn-rate 2/60, overload ) b)pass in log quick on $ext_if2 reply-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) inet proto tcp \ from any to any port $SshPort flags S/SA keep state (max 30, source-track \ rule, max-src-nodes 10, max-src-states 2, max-src-conn 2, max-src-conn-rate\ 2/60, overload ) ( RULE 8 ) [snip][snip].. 3) - pass out quick on $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) from $ext_if2 to any pass out quick on $ext_if2 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) from $ext_if1 to any Also tried: pass out quick on $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) from $ext_if1 to any pass out quick on $ext_if2 route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) from $ext_if2 to any block log all ( RULE 163 ) ### end of pf.conf excerpt Everything under 1) works fine.

If I understood correctly, wasn't the reply-to supposed to make the packet go back throught the specified ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2)? 2) Wasn't a state created when the pass rule b)/8 matched? if so, where is it?

Re: Lennart Poettering: BSD Isn't Relevant Anymore
Hi;
First of all, forgive me for top posting but I don't want to "disturb" the
debate between Jerry and Polytropon. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I
saved it in separate folder. It is just plain good reading, not only because
of the issue at hand, but also because of the elegance and intelligence of the
arguments presented by each of them, and because it was delightful to notice
how their cultural backgrounds influence their presentations, to the point
where even when using "harsh words" didn't carry offense.
I firmly believe that this is why FreeBSD exists. Because it is backed up by
people of this caliber, whether as users or developers. Even the trolls and
flame wars here (not in NO way implying that this thread was one!) make more
intelligent and enjoyable reading than in any other forum I go.
In my humble user opinion, that is why FreeBSD is more than relevant. To me,
at least, is indispensable, both as a tool and as a reference for every other
OS in existence. I am not arguing here that my preference is "better" than
anybody else's. FreeBSD itself is wide enough to fit a huge number of them.
This universe expands even more if you add the other BSDs.
This is just a thank-you note and for sharing a simple permanent feeling of
relief for having made a good choice.
The only offense that keeps coming back is the post's subject.

Microsoft copied its AD deck from Novell Directory Services - NDS, shuffled the cards, added a few bits and pieces here and there and called it its own, having "some similarities" with NDS, as MS has ALWAYS been doing since DOS 1.0. I remember very well when the ease of management with NDS was well estabilished by NETWARE 6.xx (it showed up first in 5.xx) and delighting network admins who managed Novell environments (as I was doing at the time), when MS announced its, ahaam, "revolutionary" active directory services.

Phenom II 975 BE shows 0 celsius
Hi to all In my desktop machine, I had an AM2+ ASROCK mobo with Phenom II 955 BE that showed each core temperature perfectly under FBSD 8-STABLE, via dev.cpu.x.temp. amdtemp.ko loaded. Unfortunately this Mobo died and only found AM3 boards for which my phenom 955 doesn't fit. So I got an ASUS M4A88T-V EVO with a Phenom II 975 BE. Funny thing. An AM3 phenom II fits on an AM2 board but an AM3 board doesn't accept an AM2/AM2+ phenom II :(. Anyway, now, under the very same system, it shows 0 degrees on dev.cpu.x.temp for all cores. I've been looking through k8temp and amdtemp src code. I am definitely not sure of this but I believe something might have happened to those: From k8temp.h K10_THERM_REG 0xa4 K10_THERMTRIP_REG 0xe4 K10_CURTMP(val)(((val) >> 21) & 0xfff) K10_THERMTRIP(val) ((val >> 1) & 1) From amdtemp.c /* * Register control (K8 family) */ #define AMDTEMP_REG0F 0xe4 #define AMDTEMP_REG_SELSENSOR 0x40 #define AMDTEMP_REG_SELCORE 0x04 /* * Register control (K10 & K11) family */ #define AMDTEMP_REG 0xa4 Output of k8temp -dn: CPUID: Vendor: AuthenticAMD, 0x100f43: Model=04 Family=f+1 Stepping=3 Advanced Power Management=0x1f9 Temperature sensor: Yes Frequency ID control: No Voltage ID control: No THERMTRIP support: Yes HW Thermal control: Yes SW Thermal control: Yes 100MHz multipliers: Yes HW P-State control: Yes TSC Invariant: Yes Temp=c0fef ThermTrip=1fc00c30 0 I keep a small win7 partition to test little things like this and see if the same thing happens there, and it doesn't, so I concluded that the sensors are there and are working. One thing is worth noting though. I have used a free gadget that shows activity/temp for each core. It worked fine with the previous MB/CPU.That ALSO stopped working with this new MB. Like FBSD, it shows 0 degrees for any core too, although it correctly displays each core load. The only windows tool that correctly shows the temperature are the ASUS tools that came with the mobo. Other than that, everything is working fine! The only thing I had to fix was the fstab ada location. I know this is not a big thing but I got accustomed to keeping an eye on those temperatures. I have googled for a few days now searching for Thermal register address or offsets for the Phenom II 975 BE, or anything related to this problem and found nothing. Every search on AMD site was fruitless. I could not find a single bit of tech info on this processor there, or any other tech info for that matter. Would any one have any pointers/clues/suggestions on this?

After I sent you the data, while waiting for your reply, I changed Lusca cache to use 64M ram instead of the 256M it had. It was 1/8th of ram so I just decided to give it less. Well, I swear to you this was the ONLY thing I did!. Since then, the system has been running at around 97% idle 98% of the time! During load hours, there are only short(1s) spikes of 75%ish idle, far from each other. And web performance is actually a little better! And the overall response of the system improved. That's why I waited a couple of days to reply so I could confirm this behavior. I don't know. Maybe with more ram, lusca was spawning to many threads and thus loading the CPU but this is just a guess. I will take lusca memory back to 256 for the sake of checking but I want to find out if this new found estability is there to stay so I'll wait a little longer to do that. Your suggestions will be kept handy just in case.

The "almost" is on account of a long gone bug with nvidia driver versions 1.7.something. Nothing to do with VB. After that, no glitches anymore. As how it runs on my 8-STABLE amd64, I've been able to compare it to vmware and hiper-v and as far as running the same things on the 3 of them, to me, VBox outperformed both in terms of speed and responsiveness. All 3 are pretty stable and hiper-v needs a monster machine to run, contrary to VB and VW. I have linux (fedora, centos and ubuntu), OS-x (hackintosh and SL), Os/2, Android, Xp (32/64),Win 2003 and win7 (32/64) vms, all jumping from VB version to VB version, all without a single glitch, and all performing better with each new version. I went as far as installing a background VB Xp vm on my firewall (which is a small FBSD 8-STABLE i386 ) for application testing purposes. I can't say how VB runs on huge environments because I don't have access to any. As for support for VB in general, just stay tunned to vbox-users-commun...@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community and vbox-...@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev and http://forums.virtualbox.org/ I'm sure anyone will find all questions answered. and specific to FreeBSD.

To me, it should have been called handybook. What you're saying sounds more like you wanted the handbook to be a usage tutorial, which it's NOT what it is supposed to be. If you put micro$oft's docs into this picture, prepare you wallet for tons of books. And in microsoft's case, it has an obligation to take you by the hand, and IT DOESN'T !. I've been using FBSD since 2.2.8. When I first heard of it, I first did my homework: Googled for its history, its architecture, its inner workings, compatibility, etc.. (all of these are IN the handbook, by the way!) and opinions/usage by others. When I went to the handbook for the first time (not straight to it but by chance while googling for some "solution"), I was already a user for a good while. I already knew what FreeBSD was about, so whatever I found on the handbook was already familiar to me!. The only time I resort straight to the handbook is to the hardware compatibility list whenever I'm thinking of buying something new for the server/desktop, but BEFORE I actually buy it. For everything else, man pages and the lists are my lord and my shepard. I think Polytropon put it very well: "In most cases, documentation requires you to have a minimal clue of what you're doing. There's terminology you simply have to know, and concepts to understand in order to use the documentation." > > As far as people proving my point about the BSD community being > reactionary: > > (1) [snip..] Let's ponder over this in a rational and cold way. First: You never mentioned in your post for how long you have been using FreeBSD or if you have even used it at all, which its obvious simply by lack of specific details, so your critique looses the "by experience" tag from the start. That's a no-no for this list, which will not measure distances to help people that already tried to help themselves. Second, throughout your post, it sounds like your thoughts sprung up, not from your own quest and research, but from somebody (Ron) who "is completely pro- Linux and pro-Windows, and against FreeBSD" (hummm...) and that is "the biggest UNIX fanatic I know"(100x hummm...). And Ron's millage with FreeBSD is never mentioned also, so that kinda drops the critique's "credibility" tag to the floor. Last, suppose you issue a general invitation for people to go over to your house for a free dinner, with food that you know (because you helped in preparing it!) in your heart and taste to be excellent, well prepared and nutritious. And all of a sudden I storm at your door and yell for all the guests that already know what you know about the food, without even tasting anything, that a "very good and knowledgeable" friend of mine told me that the kitchen is as dirty as hell, the food tastes terrible and that all the guests will get diarrhea and probably die if they eat anything.

Well, I don't know about everybody else but I don't believe that the aim of this gentleman's OP was about being constructive, at all. Like somebody had already said here, he was just a kid that threw a rock on a wasp's nest, didn't have legs to run fast enough, and now he is crying all over the place because he got stung. So, to exhaust everything I have to say on this subject, I will try to translate the best I can, two popular sayings here in my country. I hope I can make their meaning get through.

VPN problem

Thanks for replying, Torsten but the problem is way before all these things
that you mentioned. I'm wildly guessing here but the problem seems to be
inside the NAT mechanism of PF. At least the working/not working situations
point to that direction.
If I don't find a solution to that soon I am gonna have no choice but to
switch to IPFW, which I would not like to do because the queuing mechanisms of
pf are extremely useful and handy to my networks.
By the way, I also do each item that you mentioned in your post.
The funny thing is that there was a time (maybe a couple csups ago) that this
problem didn't occur, and I am totally unable to say which csup brought this
issue in. Remeber there are 3 FBSDs involved here.

You're right, but on the client end that is trying to conect to that server
behind a pf firewall, nat rules DO apply, and on my tests I can see for sure
that when I take NAT out of the picture, the VPN tunnel is established.

I do all that! in fact even go beyond and use the linkup/down scripts to
create a log on the server of which user(s) is(are) conected to the VPN, from
which public IP, with which ng interface, at what time/date they logged in and
and logged out.

Like I said before:
"The FBSD+pf work VPN Server is working fine. My colleagues can connect to
it from their homes (NATted cable modems or 3G modems) without problems."

Thanks again, Torsten. I think this issue seems to lie deeper that just pf
rules and link scripts
