Help with high LA
Hi All, I need help for some strange problem with one of my servers, that can cost my job. It's a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5/amd64 running on a Dell PowerEdge III as a Virtual machine of VMware ESXi. There are only two VM in this box, and one of them (basicly a mail server) is running fine. The problem is with high loads on the other one, that runs (besides other services) http and pop3. TOP show LA from 40 to 90 most of the time. I thought, at first, that was a disk botleneck due to some big mailboxes, or something related to some Apache (2.2.9) fine tuning, but it's something else. If I stop pop3 and apache services (the most active of the box), the LA drops to 1~2. Starting only one of them (any one) the LA rise to 20~40. Sugesting that it's not tied to a specific service. I did a test running just pop3 (Qpopper), pointing the mail spool to a empty directory, to make shure that it's not a disk problem. And the LA also goes to sky (~30). The same happens with only apache running pointing to a simple http page. The console shows messages like: ipfw: install_state: Too many dynamic rules I know I must review my rules and limit the number of keep-state entries, but a tryed to rise the number of dynamic buckets via sysctl: sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets=2048 But it seems it's not working, since the number of current buckets doesn't pass 256: net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets: 256 I tryed to make some OS tuning, from the handbook, like increase the maxcon: kern.ipc.somaxconn: 2048 but nothing seems to work. Other entries in the logs: Feb 12 09:06:20 host1 inetd[1248]: accept (for ftp): Software caused connection abort Feb 12 09:06:20 host1 inetd[1248]: accept (for pop3): Software caused connection abort I need some clues to undestand what is happening.

Time skew
Hi All, I'm facing some strange behavior with an skew in the system clock. The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2950III, running two instances of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 - amd64 over an ESXi hipervisor. To both were allocated 4 processors and 4 GB of RAM, and dmesg for both are identical. I'm using clockspeed to synchronize the clock, but just one of them is delaying the clock a lot. The hardware clock is ok as far as the other virtual machine. Where should I start to investigate? - Marcelo Dmesg is following: Copyright (c) 1992-2008 The FreeBSD Project.

If, on the other hand, I set it in sendmail as in manual mode: FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop /usr/local/etc/maildroprc') The maildrop processes start to grow, and the following message starts to show: Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: timeout waiting for input from host1.mydomain.com during client greeting Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: smtpquit: mailer local exited with exit value 75 It seems that no message body is sent to maildrop.

But when I mount (iso9660) the DVD, and try to access a file big file, the following message is displayed: ls -l /cdrom/ ls: saved.2007.gzip: Value too large to be stored in data type But all other files are OK. If I use 'mount_udf' instead, only the last 9 (alphabetically) files are shown. None of them bigger then 2G.

Hi all, I have a server in a host service that stopped this morning. After a contact with the service support of them, I got the following answer to the problem: [quote] REBOOT SERVER Due to a failed switch replacement FreeBSD did not restore the network link.

Problem after upgrade, please help
Hi all, I'm in trouble here. I did an upgrade via Boot CD, from FBSD 5.4 to 6.1 that finished without errors. But after the reboot, I discovered that the disk partition has gone.

I think memtest86 is the best, but you could use something like
this bellow. Just adjust the value of N_MEGABYTES, and start as many
process as you want to full the fisical memory.
[start of code]
#include stdio.h
#define N_MEGABYTES 160
#define TOTAL (N_MEGABYTES * 1024 * 1024)
int main(void)
{
int i;
char *p;
char *mem = malloc(TOTAL);
if ( mem == NULL )
{
perror(malloc);
return 1;
}
while ( 1 )
{
for (i = 0, p = mem; i TOTAL; i++, p++)
{
if ( *p == 0 )
*p = 1;
*p = 1;
}
}
return 0;
}

ls -l taking too much time

A ls -l in a /var/mail folder with +6000 files (not maildir) is taking more then 2 min to complete. I compiled (static) ls from the GNU filetools-4.1 and it takes ~1 min.

Re: OpenWebMail won't make
Hi Bill,

|I've been trying to install openwebmail. I've tried portupgrade and make

What the command bellow shows to you:
# perl -v
Following is a script to upgrade perl:
i) Install the perl5.8 port:
# portinstall lang/perl5.8
- or -
# cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
# make install
ii) Set the new version of perl to be the default. (This also turns
off building perl as part of the base system):
# use.perl port
iii) Re-install any 3rd party modules, etc that you've installed so
the new perl can access them. There should be a neater way of
doing this...
# find /usr/local/lib/perl5/{site_perl/5.005,5.00503} -type f \
-print0 | \ xargs -0 -n 1 pkg_which | sort -u /tmp/perl-ports
# vi perl-ports
[ Sanity check the results: take out any non-ports (like
'?'), ports that are now bundled with perl or that you no
longer wish to have installed ]
# portupgrade -f `cat /tmp/perl-ports`
iv) All of the versions of automake use perl and have the version to use
as the 1st line. You need to:
portupgrade -f automake
to get things ready for your new version of perl.

Re: support for ICH6R controller and Broadcom ethernet
Hi Jim, I think it's not a answer to you but here is my recent experience. I've installed FBSD 5.4 in a box with Intel ICH5R chipset. It's working, no hangs, no panics, but the disk performance on the second IDE disk (I'm not using RAID, just simple master/slave setup), is terrible. It's like the DMA was not correctly set on the second disk. I read somewhere, that FreeBSD has full support to ICH5 chipset but NOT for ICH5R. Even when running in compatibility mode set on BIOS, the performance is the same. Someone told me the follwing on the performance list: I remember a commit to the ata driver to fix misprogramming of DMA timing on an Intel chipset for devices and/or channels other than the first. I'm not sure if 5.4 has the bug or the fix. To me it still has the bug. - Marcelo Souza Jim Mozley wrote: |I have asked this on freebsd-hardware but didn't hear anything so I |hoped someone here could help... | |I am potentially buying a server with a Tyan Tomcat i7221 motherboard.

Re: mismatch results with disk performance
Dmitry, Both situations have the same result, an Slave IDE HDD on primary controller, or a master HDD on the 2nd IDE controler, works much more slow, testing with 'dd'. I couldn't see that with diskinfo. - Marcelo On Thu, 9 Jun 2005, Dmitry Mityugov wrote: |On 6/9/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | | Hi, | | No one else has seem this? | I upgraded to 5.4 and the problem was kept. | Should it be a problem with ICH5 driver? | | | On Tue, 7 Jun 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | |Please bear with me, I just can't figure out what the original problem |was.

mismatch results with disk performance
Hi ALL, I hope it´s not a known issue. I´ve installed (express) a FreeBSD 5.3 (I know it´s not the last stable) on a new machine with the following hardware: Asus P4P800 SE (BIOS v. 1008) 2GB RAM ( 4x 512 DDR400 ) 2 HDD Samsung SP0802N (80GB 7200rpm ata-100) 80 pins cable. The HD were formated with newfs defaults, and the following results were the same using both as master (primary e secondary) or with a master / slave (same interface). With diskinfo both performance are the same, but with dd, the second disc (the slave or the secondary master), is always worst as if it were working in DMA2. what should be the right results? Here are the results: DD: dd if=/dev/zero of=TEST count=1000 bs=64k master: 60 Mb/s slave: 16 Mb/s The results with diskinfo (almost the same): /dev/ad0 512 # sectorsize 80060424192 # mediasize in bytes (75G) 156368016 # mediasize in sectors 155127 # Cylinders according to firmware. 16 # Heads according to firmware. 63 # Sectors according to firmware.

Backup software comparison
Hi all, I´ve used AMANDA for my backup solution for a long time, and now I decided to look for an alternative with multi-volume, disk-to-disk, network copy, among other features. Does anyone had compared other open source backup software? I´ve seem something about: Bacula, BoxBackup Which are the most used backup solution arround here?

TCSH crash
Hi all,
Is it a known problem?

| No -- it's a lot easier than you seem to think.
|
|i) Install the perl5.8 port:
|
| # portinstall lang/perl5.8
|
|- or -
|
| # cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
| # make install
|
| ii) Set the new version of perl to be the default. (This also turns
| off building perl as part of the base system):
|
| # use.perl port
|
| iii) Re-install any 3rd party modules, etc that you've installed so
| the new perl can access them. There should be a neater way of
| doing this...
|
| # find /usr/local/lib/perl5/{site_perl/5.005,5.00503} -type f
| -print0 | \ xargs -0 -n 1 pkg_which | sort -u /tmp/perl-ports # vi
| perl-ports
|
| [ Sanity check the results: take out any non-ports (like
|'?'), ports that are now bundled with perl or that you no
| longer wish to have installed ]
|
| # portupgrade -f `cat /tmp/perl-ports`
|
| Et voila. New version of perl installed and ready to go.
|
|
|There is one group that doesn't appear. All of the versions of automake
|use perl and have the version to use as the 1st line. You need to
|portupgrade -f automake
|to get things ready for your new version of perl. FWIW, I am using
|perl-5.8.2_5
|
|There should be some sort of USE_PERL in their makefiles but isn't
|there.
