FreeBSD and newer HDD problems ?
Hello, I've recently bought new big HDD (WDC RE, 320GB) and it looks like FreeBSD has some troubles with it when trying to transfer files over network. If I try to perform some synthetic test like 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/wdc320/testfile' then I get some decent speeds about 40MB/s. When I try to copy some big files from my older disk (IBM 40GB) I still have write about 25-27MB/s. Problem comes when I try to copy something to disk over network (tried samba, ftp) disk write speed is very low - about 5-6MB/s at max. When testing this issue I've start 'systat -vmstat 1' and noticed that my new disk is very busy (60-100%) and speed (MB/s) jumps up and down. If I write files with 'dd' or transfer them from disk 2 disk then write speed and disk load is almost constant (about 60%). When transfering files over network to old HDD then disk load is low (40-50%) and speed is constant (8-9MB/s). To be sure that disk it is not some kind of disk problem I've installed Debian 3.1r2 with same version of samba and I get 9-11MB/s transfer speeds (in both directions) !! Also it doesn't matter if I use transfer data over gigabit card or 100mbit card. Results are similar. FreeBSD is in avarage very very slow (3MB) while Debian works fine (10MB). Because my server is primarily used for transfer files (Samba + PDC) it is crucial for me to have highest transfer speeds possible and I'd like to stick with FreeBSD :-/. Does someone has any idea what could be wrong or how could I determine what causes this problem ? Thanks for any advice.

The speed through 100Mb/s Ethernet will be around 5 or 6MB/s and probably you can't go any faster due to your hardware limitations (switch, cables, processor, controllers and especially their drivers). Currently there are a few active threads related to similar issues (controllers and their drivers).

Hmmm so how you explain that with Debian system on SAME machine I'm ABLE to get transfer speeds about 10MB/s ??

FreeBSD 5.4 6.0 slow network throughput
I have upgraded my home server to 5.4 from 5.2.1 and after some time I've noticed that network throughput is very low (about 4MB/s). I'm not expert on this field but I have checked some settings (sysctl, netstat) and couldn't find anything suspicious.

LDAP authentication problems
Hi, I have problems to get LDAP authentiction working (pam_ldap)and after two days of struggle I'm almost giving up... I've tried few howtos like that one from samba.idealx.org but without success.

Now I can: - browse LDAP database with ldapsearch or from other machine with LDAP browser - I'm able to use ldapsearch with user account created in this database ie.: 'ldapsearch -D uid=testuser,ou=Users,dc=OHRADNI,dc=NET -W' 'Enter LDAP Password: mypassword' '[will list all entries]' But when I try to use it for authentication it just don't work. For example I can't login with 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Because I have loglevel -1 I can see many data in /var/log/debug.log, but I'm not sure what exactly I should look for in this debug output thus I don't know if problem is on LDAP side or something else in my setup.

IPFW traffic shaping questions
Hello, I have few questions for ipfw gurus.. 1) can I see what packets are matching my pipes/queues ? I'm using ipfw pipe show for example but there is always only one host so if I'm testing some rules I can't tell if they work or not (maybe there is some other way how to trace such things ?) 2) how to correctly setup ul/dl limits for clients ? I have 4096/256 line and I want primarily control upload because when someone starts uploading too much line become unusable for low latency apps (games, ip phone, audio broadcasting). I have created queues to limit upload, but then also download was affected and slowdown was very big. I have tried to add rule for ACK packets - no effect (I'm not network guru maybe this is not enough for speeding up download). Now I'm thinking that maybe I have wrong rules because as I remember pipes and queues are managed diferently then other ipfw rules and even when I put unlimited pipe for ACK out it is then limited by second rule for all out - pipes/queues are not first match wins right ? 3) this is similar to 1) - is there some tool for monitoring how packet flows through rules ? And I don't mean using ipfw log :-) ... Any advice or web tutorial for network-lama (ie. me :-) ) appreciated.

If the file system owner is not equal to the user who is accessing the file system, some programs may generate unusual errors when modifying or creating files. This happens because all files that are created on the MS-DOS FS are implicitly chowned to the file system owner. Work-around: only the user who owns the file system should have write permission for it. ...so if you need to have access under some user then you have to mount it into dir where this user is an owner.

I don't have time to investigate the status output in detail, but at first glance the output looks consistent with hardware failure. I've had this so many times with tape drives, in particular DDS, that I have given up using them altogether: not a single one survived its guarantee period. If it's not the drive, it could be the tape, though I've seen far fewer problems in this area. Does this drive (and tape) work in other systems? Yes. I was recently using it in my AIX Netfinity machine. Some tapes used for test are new. I will test to record something and read it in machine in work. I don't think it's termination; you say you only see the errors during reading, and that doesn't fit. Termination is OK and there is only tape drive at this time (all unnecessary drives were removed to minimize possible interferences). What does the drive do when you try to read it? A lot of back-and-forth is usually an indication of hardware read errors. Both LEDs are on and tape drive doesn't react to eject button.

My specs : FreeBSD 5.2.1, generic kernel, x86 (P3), SCSI card is Adaptec AHA2940 and tape drive Python 04106. Not terribly helpful, but I have a DAT2 working with an Adaptec 2940A. It's worked since forever and is fine with 5.4 though I never ran 5.1/2/3. Is the machine it's attached to dual-boot? I.e. can you test the tape drive in Windows, or Linux for example? (Well, they have to be good for something :-)) Is this a recent problem or is this the first time you've tried using this drive? Can you try another SCSI adapter? I've run mine (for testing only) off the cheapest rubbish I got free with a SCSI CDRW and it was fine. I was trying to use Tekram SCSI adapter with same result. I have taken this DDS tape from my AIX machine (netfinity) where it was working wo problems. The only other guess would be termination. Has anything else on your SCSI chain changed? Is the terminator properly plugged in? Termination should be fine. I have tried both variants - termination on tape and termination via active terminator on cable. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only reason i still install windows on my desktop is to play games. I would gladly give up the microsoft products and most of my friends would do so too if it wasn't for the reason mentioned above. You may say that games are not important but i must disagree. How can one claim to make an OS for workstations if you can not play games in that OS. Games are the peak of multimedia aplications. Just take a look at the slashdot.org site and you will see that every day the GAMES section has the most new news. If we want an alternative to windows (we wants it) than maybe we should concentrate our energies on making a desktop. But these are just the rambling words of a guy that is frustrated of having to use microsoft operating systems, having to pay a lot of money for them and then getting the quality that we all know. whatever ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problem is not quality of fbsd. Problem is that you have to emulate proprietary Windoz (with proprietary DirectX) to run games, because that game wasnt released for *nix. This is about number of installations and about attitude of game developers. And to be honest, would you develop some game for fbsd/linux if u know there will be maybe 10k copies sold ?

You need to tell your gateway that in order to get to 10.0.0.0/24 from 192.168.1.0/24, you need to tell the routing tables that the route to 10.0.0.0/24 is via xl1 and vice versa. route add 10.0.0.0/24 -interface xl1 and vice versa: route add 192.168.1.0/24 -interface xl2 In the handbook, it says (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html): --begin quote-- 19.5.4 Enabling the Bridge Add the line: net.link.ether.bridge=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf to enable the bridge at runtime, and the line: net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=if1,if2 to enable bridging on the specified interfaces (replace if1 and if2 with the names of your two network interfaces). If you want the bridged packets to be filtered by ipfw(8), you should add: net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 as well. For FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE and later, use instead the following lines: net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1 net.link.ether.bridge.config=if1,if2 net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1 --end quote-- I am not sure if this will work, though, because I'm not sure what effect (if any) it would have on the NAT from the 192.168.1.0/24 network. You might want to first try this approach while NAT and the firewall are turned off. I have a similar situation that I want to test, so I'd be curious if you succeed and how.

I was using similar setup during tests with wi-fi : server with wi-fi card (hostap and DHCP - 192.168.1.xxx range), one NIC connected to local LAN (192.168.0.xxx range) and one NIC for connection to my ISP ( to cable modem to be more specific ). Only people on local lan were able to connect to internet - this was controlled via ipfw rules. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
