FreeBSD and DELL Perc H200
Hi all, I have to install two production servers from Dell that come with a Perc H 200 controller. Disks are not recognized with 8.2-RELEASE :-( Any ideas? If this works with 8-stable, where can I download an ISO Image?

Re: System extremely slow under light load

At times, even a very light load makes the system grind to a halt. Once an application is in the foreground, I can interact with it just fine. But when I click on a long-unused menu item or try to switch applications, I have to wait dozens of seconds or even minutes. It feels as if things were being swapped in very slowly. However, top says otherwise: The box has 4 GB of RAM with only 680 MB used. On top of that, 69 MB of swap are in used. That last number does not seem to be changing, so nothing is being swapped in or out. The load that seems to cause the worst problems is an import of OpenStreetMap data into a PostgreSQL 9 database. This does not exercise the CPU (a Core i7 Quad) much as CPU load hovers around the 20% mark most of the time and powerd is happy to reduce the operating frequency down to a few hundred MHz. There also does not seem to be much disk activity. So, memory, CPU and disk all seem fine. And still, whenever I try to switch applications, I have to wait minutes for them to appear. I am having a hard time figuring out what is going on. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Just for an experiment, try to disable powerd and look if things improve. Or just bump it to maximum, temporarily. -- -- ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Missing serial port after enabling serial console in loader.conf
The _STA method is used to query a device's status, and a status of 0 means that the device is disabled. I believe that this means that when you have SOL enabled (SOLE?) that COM1 is marked inactive so the OS ignores the device. Good catch, thanks! I had a feeling, that it must be caused by firmware. Is there any way to override above checks and make SIO detectable even with enabled SOL? -- * Fido: 2:480/124 ** WWW: http://www.frasunek.com ** NICHDL: PMF9-RIPE * * Jabber ID: veng...@nette.pl ** PGP ID: 2578FCAD ** HAM-RADIO: SQ5JIV * ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Large number of SATA commits (MFCs) to RELENG_8
Folks who use SATA (speaking generally here because there's too much that got touched) should be aware: Within the past ~7 hours there have been a *very* large number of commits by mav@ that pertain to SATA-related storage controllers and subsystems. I would advocate that folks rebuild world/kernel and make sure there aren't any issues seen, or any quirks which were previously needed are no longer. I haven't gone through *all* of the commits yet, but I do see some controller-centric things that got MFC'd, such as disabling of NCQ support on multiport Marvell 88SX61XX to relieve I/O timeouts when doing lots of I/O (common with ZFS). Below are the commits. Users should absolutely use cvsweb or similar tools to examine the commit message and see if anything relevant to their storage subsystems was modified. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
