I could be wrong on some of these products, but I do think most new chipsets keep hard disks off the pci bus. A stripped raid array will be faster than raid 5.

Is there any reason I shouldn't mix hard drive types? (I've never messed with SATA before.) I have one PATA with FreeBSD installed, and two SATA striped with gvinum. Swap spread across all 3. No particular problems. The SATA drives are fairly recent models in 160G, the PATA is prior generation in 120G, all Hitachi. The SATA drives seem to handle seeks from multiple processes better than the PATA, better even than might expect from striping. At about 4500 hours of runtime one SATA drive developed a bad block which the drive firmware was not able to automagically substitute. gvinum shut down. I see no reason why a SATA drive should be less reliable than a PATA drive. Also remember back when one could purchase the same drive hardware in either PATA or SCSI, so find it hard to accept the interface makes much difference in reliability. I don't know why it's true... I can state that I've had 3 of them so far, and had troubles with 2, and google is chock full of reports. Further, the info about them being the same as their IDE brethren isn't true, at least, the access rate specifications are higher for SATA drives, in general, as compared to IDE. Least they were the last time I checked, maybe it's changed inthe last 6 months. OTOH, when I first bought mine, I was comparing in my mind with SCSI, not IDE, maybe they *do* compare equally with IDE, is IDE that bad? Certainly, SATA is less reliable thant he scsi drives. Don't compare IDE to SCSI. IDE is home/consumer grade. SCSI is commercial/enterprise grade. Just look at the price differences, because you most certainly get what you pay for with SCSI compared to IDE. **Warning, the following contains anecdotal evidence** I built a new rig for my brother with SATA and it has been perfect. I only have IDE in my slightly older machine which runs great 24/7. But this has just been my experience, as always YMMV. One last thing, I would avoid the first generation of most technology because they tend to still have some bugs. So if you buy SATA don't et the discounted drive, look for a newer model and you should be good.

At a guess, you may have created some configuration files owned by root the first time you started it. Try hunting them down and deleting them, and start firefox from a user account again. At first run, I tried to start firefox under the local user of course. When that wouldn't work , I searched Google and found an old bug about similiar behavior that suggested running firefox as root the first time. Didn't help, so I'm stuck since it's uite some time I used FreeBSD. Also try running firefox from a command line in an xterm, if you haven't already done so, and see if there are any helpful error messages. I'm starting it from commandline. It doesn't print any errors and exits after a second. Under root, it starts and gives me debugging messages. Does it do a core dump? What options did you use to compile?

They were tuning the MAX_INTS parameter for the em driver, which can hold off interrupts to reduce system overhead. Instead of minimizing the load, they were focused on squeezing a few extra bits out of iperf, which is not how you tune performance. If you get 700Kb/s and have a 95% load and can get 695Kb/s with 60% load, which is better? Plus they were testing with a regular PCI bus, so they were hitting the wall on the bus throughput, which changes all the timings, so it was just a stupid test in general. I would say 60% load. Now I completely understand what you were saying. I'm not 100% sure of what he was saying, but I've seen the same thing. I take an i386 disk and pop on an amd64 disk with the same settings, except for the 3 or 4 required differences, and the i386 machine has WAY less network load.

Maybe you script vmstat -i for a log, and use netperf too? I like Nick's followup. I would guese Boris may have a problem with proper hardware support. I can't really said it is bad hardware if speeds are the same, just high load(right?). Maybe the driver he is using is not good for 64bit as it is for 32bit?

Re: 5.3-release fine with 512MB RAM, reboots at times with 1.5GB (but no panic)

FreeBSD 5.3-release (see dmesg below for details) The problem seems to be with trying to run with 1.5GB vice 512MB of RAM. The system has not had problems so far when I only leave the 512MB stick in. When I add the 1GB stick the system will reboot at specific times, for example, while trying to launch KDE3 or trying to make OpenOffice (always reboots at Extracting for openoffice-1.1.2-1). I do not see any panic in the messages log, the system just silently reboots. I initially installed FreeBSD with only the 512MB stick in. The memory itself seems fine; memtest86 detects no errors. At boot time all the memory is detected: real memory = 1610547200 (1535 MB) avail memory = 1568432128 (1495 MB) Running memtest all only seems to find 512MB to use. It evidently makes no assumption about how much memory is there, starting by trying to malloc 4GB and reducing the amount gradually until it finally successfully mallocs 512 MB and eventually manages to lock 413 MB (failed due to insufficient resources above that). The tests on the 413 MB do pass. I have rebuilt the kernel with VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX=419430400 as suggested in the FAQ. No change. Would setting MAXMEM to 1572864 help? I am not sure since the correct amount is reported by FreeBSD at boot, and right now trying to make the kernel with that option seems to be another case that reboots the machine (i.e. the make process itself reboots the machine) so I have not tried it yet (guess I would have to remove the 1GB stick to make the new kernel and then put it back to try it out).

Not for upgrading. portsclean (a part of portsupgrade package) is a nice feature of portupgrade, so is pkg_which and a few others so I keep portupgrade around just the same. -Mike How long does it take to run portmanager. Is it a similar amount of time as portupgrade for each run? Chris That is a tough question here is how it tends to work for me: First I run it everyday since I'm developing it I have to know if there is anything changed in ports that is going to cause portmanager to crash. Most days it takes less than an hour, but sometimes when just one lower level port like gettext for example is updated it may take 24 hours to finish. I'm using a 1ghz machine with both gnome and kde (all together about 300 installed ports) as an example. Here is exactly how portmanager works: First dependent ports that are out of date are upgraded, then everything that depends on them are upgraded. portupgrade does not work this same way so the time comparison is very tough to predict. -Mike Ah I see. So portmanager is sort of doing the equivelant to: portupgrade -fr myOutOfDatePort ?? Does this not mean it will always be slower than portupgrade? If it a low-level port it is going to take ages but if it is high-level it will start to get closer to the time it takes for portupgrade to run. Never faster? Or am I missing something. Is there a reason it does it this way over portupgrades method? Chris ___ I think there is no big difference between just running portupgrade vs portmanager. I would say portmanager is better and faster because you don't need to baby sit, it is really automagical, and there is no messing with an index. To upgrade one high level port will take that same time on both, if you don't have to pkgdb -F or fiddle with the index. If it is a low level port portmanager will likely take longer, but get it done right the first time. If portupgrade finishes first it likely missed some cross dependancies and you will have to do it by hand after you have done some trouble shooting.

This box got a builtin Promise PDC20269 UDMA133 controller. Actually it's a controller with two IDE channels. So far if using the GENERIC kernel that comes with FreeBSD, I do not experience any problems. If using my own customized kernel I am getting the following error message while booting the system: 888---8-8- Interrupt storm detected on irq10: atapci1; throtteling interrupt source: 888---8-8- After some trail-and-error based investigations, I did figure out that if I don't plugin any device into IDE channel two, the just described error does not occur. So it has something to do with IDE channel two. As an additional note - The controller works under Linux, FreeBSD 5.3 (GENERIC) and FreeBSD 5.2.1 (custom kernel). Any hints on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated. How about a copy of your custom changes to the kernel?

The old idea about amds running hot is kind of crap, any cpu will run hot if not installed correctly or overclocked. You got that white stuff between the cpu and hsf? I think I recall putting the white stuff in. I checked your hsf on the net and in silent mode it does not support your cpu speed, though it does in normal higher speed fan mode. If you have the fan make sure to keep it in normal mode or it may bake your cpu! http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=33code=005009010 Damn! I should have researched this properly when I bought the heatsink. Thanks for that information, I'm lucky that you noticed this. Try this command several times after you boot. Then after you boot your box do it while under load. sysctl -a|grep thermal That will tell you your cpu temp, you'll need acpi on. If you did not put the hsf on right it will go up and you get problems like after 5 minutes or less. I set my bios heat alarm to go off and set a shutdown temp too. You might want to check that stuff out in your bios too. Go to amd.com and get that pdf on how to install the hsf, I made a mistake a month ago when I was switching out cpus and that was my problem. Everything else looks good, but do you have some case fans? OK, I think I had better invest in some, or some better cooling. I moved a 120mm fan over near my cpu and my 100% load temp while folding droped about 10C. I am overclocked and it was maxing out at about 58C or less. Now it hardly hits 50C, usaully 48C but it might go down to 45C if it is cool in my room. I wonder how it will do in the summer? :) I used that sysctl command you suggested above and it says 55C-55.5C -- this is for when running underclocked. I rebooted, put the CPU speed back to normal, left the fan on its dangerously low setting and then ran the program again, whilst checking the cpu temperature every second with: while [ 1 ]; do sysctl -a | grep thermal; sleep 1; done I observed the CPU temperature rise from a base of 50C at an approximately steady rate (I should have taken periodic readings too then I could have made a graph or something). It slowed down at about 57C (having took about 3-4 minutes to get there) or so but carried on rising, 58C...58.5C...59C...59.5C... kernel trap 11m33s (unfortunately I was setting up another process to run on another console so I never saw the final temperature). This was with CPU thermal throttling enabled and set to 50% in my bios (although I'm not sure at which temperature it enables as it doesn't seem to say) I turned the fan up to max, rebooted and ran the program again. The temperature seemed to stabilise around 52C. Given this information I think it is highly likely that the temperature hypothesis is correct, and the reason for the crashing. Thanks cali At 60C it is supposed to throttle, but I think it just crashes. I think if you put an air duct next to your cpu that runs to a blow hole with a big fan you will get real low temps. The big fan should be sucking air out of the case if you do this. Make sure the hsf is mounted in the proper direction too, or it won't work. If the air leaving your psu is hot you know you need better case cooling. It should be warm, not hot.

Re: FreeBSD I LOVE YOU
The recent discussion in this thread causes me to wonder whether FreeBSD's performance on older, slower equipment could be a contributing factor to why hardware vendors like Dell and ATI are willing to provide only limited support for LINUX and none at all for FreeBSD. After all, if FreeBSD lets a Pentium II w/MMX handle, for example, a moderately loaded web site or large network firewall or some other reasonable use and thereby obviating many purchases of hardware upgrades, why would they want to encourage its use? Here is an interview with ati. The sad part is they give a solid no to bsd support. http://www.rage3d.com/index.php?node=getarticleu=content%2Finterviews% 2FATIChats%2Fp=4 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know how other brands standup hardware wise, but I think you get what you pay for. For around $60 a router, thats cheap.
