Security Testing on Production Systems
List, This is a hot topic as of late where I work: Once a system has gone into 'production' should testing, specifically security, be done on it if the system could be broken by the test itself? What is your take on this issue and why? Thanks for any ideas and feedback.

RE: Compaq Integrated SmartArray Quantum DLT4000
My 2 cents, For me it was the same, until I picked up an Adaptec and used it for the DLT drives. I was rather bummed myself but it did seem to work well. Rob.

At first these were attached via the 5i controller. Later after much hair pulling, I ended up adding in an Adaptec card for them. I don't know whya, but the DLT would just not work on the 5i's.

One of these has an internal Quantum DLT 4000 (that's how the BIOS identifies it) tape drive. I need to use it, but can find no evidence of this hardware in the dmesg output. . . . The system sees the integrated controller and uses ida0 to id it, but does not see the tape drive. If it's anything like my old proliant, the tape drive is on ncr0 or ncr1 (or sym[01] any of which are the on-board scsi controllers), which do not appear to probe on your system. If your tape drive is cabled to ida0 or ida1, you'll probably need to resort to the array controller firmware or CD, depending, and set it up from there. -- -- __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Performance Issues with AMD64 3000+, 1.5GB RAM, FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE
On Wed, 24 Aug 2005, Mark Kane wrote: Hi everyone. Last night I finally worked out some issues with my AMD64 machine and got it up and operational. It's an AMD64 3000+ with 1.5GB RAM, and five 7200RPM hard drives (total of 720 gigs) running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE (amd64). When doing testing and initial install/configuration of this machine (compiling apps and such) I didn't notice this too much, but now that I'm actually using it this is starting to be noticeable. The issue I'm having is that every minute or two, I will hear some stuttering in any audio/video playback (will see the video freeze if video), and my mouse will freeze for a few seconds as well while this happens. It seems to happen more frequently if I have something doing disk I/O, such as downloads running, untarring files, or torrents. Right now, I have the following applications open: Xorg Xfce X-Chat Mozilla Firefox (Only about 10 tabs, as opposed to my normal 40-50 tabs) Terminal XMMS Mozilla Thunderbird rtorrent I initially noticed it on this machine when untarring a 20MB tar.bz2 file, and I figured with it untarring that a little audio stuttering would be expected. Then today, I started noticing it when doing normal things. All I'm doing now is just light browsing with XMMS and X-Chat open, and maybe one download going. While my AMD64 was out of commission, I was using an Athlon XP 2000+ with 1GB of RAM and an old slower hard drive. It ran FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE as well. I noticed the same stutters in audio/video playback and freezing of the mouse there, although it was much more frequent. Here is a top output from just now: last pid: 59025; load averages: 0.07, 0.08, 0.12 59 processes: 1 running, 58 sleeping CPU states: 4.3% user, 0.0% nice, 2.3% system, 1.6% interrupt, 91.8% idle Mem: 841M Active, 245M Inact, 194M Wired, 72M Cache, 162M Buf, 2300K Free Swap: 3045M Total, 96K Used, 3045M Free So basically I'm wondering if there are any OS optimizations or anything I am missing to reduce this? I'm not sure why on this type of hardware with not even using half of what I normally would have open (at least Firefox tabs wise) it would cause so many hiccups like this. Thanks in advance for any opinions or suggestions. -Mark Mark, I to am having similar problems with SATA drives, to the point where the audio coming from XMMS sounds just TRIPPING! One thing that helped me was to INSURE that the dma for the hw.ata.atapi_dma and hw.ata.ata_dma where both set to 1. Also, staying STABLE for me has been advantageous.

FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE (RELEASE for non CVSUP) Accolade
A big thank you for all the work that has gone into 5.4-STABLE. I am running AMD64 Athlon 64 3000+ and when I made the switch to 5.3-STABLE - /usr/src/sys/amd64 I found it a tad bit slow doing things that I felt the i386 version did rather fast! Maybe it is just the day but my latest cvsup has seemed to add some OCTANE to my system! So THANKS to all the work put in by you volunteers out there!
