Re: 7.1-PRERELEASE : bad network performance (nfe0)

2008-09-28 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have the same problem on a Dell Poweredge SC440 when I transferred over
50GB
from a FreeBSD 5.4 box to my new Dell running 7.1.  Used a crossover cable
and
the link was 1000 full duplex, but could only get about 10M/s.  Very odd.
Did a
tcpdump and saw lots of bad checksum errors.

What other troubleshooting steps can we take?  What could be the problem?

 I see 100baseTX there, not 1000baseTX.  This speed is being selected via
 autoneg (auto speed/duplex negotiation).

 Whatever switch you're connected to is not properly negotiating the
 speed.

 What brand and model of switch is this host connected to, and are you
 *absolutely certain* it supports (and is configured for) gigE?



Noyou misunderstood.  The 7.1 box was connected to a 5.4 box doing a
50GB
data transfer over rsync.  Both nics were 1000 full duplex with a crossover
cable.
The speed performance was terrible and I could only get up to 10 Mb/s and
there
was NO switch involved.  I believe there is a problem or bug involved with
the
driver.  Have the drivers or stack been updated in 7.1?  What else can I
provide?

Re: 80 Mb / enough for 7.x? OK to delete /stand/ and /modules/ ?

2008-06-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2008/6/12 fbsd2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Greetings list,

   Given recent EOL announcements, I'm trying to upgrade an ancient machine 
 from 5.5 to 7. It has 80 Mb total in the root partition, /home/, /var/, 
 /usr/, and /tmp/ on other partitions, and NFS mounts /usr/src, /usr/obj, and 
 /usr/ports from a slightly newer/faster box.  I've seen

 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html   and
 http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-stablem=121278826119286w=2

 which seem to suggest that even with INSTALL_NODEBUG during buildkernel, 7 
 might not fit in an 80 Mb /.  Must I partition a new disk to give more space 
 to /, or can I find more space by deleting /stand/, /modules/, and possibly 
 /rescue/ to shoehorn a custom 7.x kernel in the available space?  TIA


If you know you do not need the modules, by all means, to do away with them
is space back to you.

If you are building from source, you can use the:
MODULES_OVERRIDE=
variable in /etc/make.conf

When you are at the
# make installworld
stage you can likely delete /stand (I believe it is not used on =6.x)

(Though I am not sitting at the machine now) I believe that / on my 7.x box is
about 46M.

Building enlightenment-devel fails

2008-05-23 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi All,

I'm running a FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE and after a portupgrade building 
enlightenment-devel fails with following error.


--snip--
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/local/lib/libecore_dbus.la' 
or unhandled argument `/usr/local/lib/libecore_dbus.la'

gmake[3]: *** [enlightenment] Error 1
--snip--

I googled this problem an found this

--snip--
This removes the DBUS check for ecore. Since ecore does not appear to 
link against any other DBUS port, it is not necessary. In addition 
enlightenment-devel will not build if ecore does not have DBUS enabled 
due to a dependency on Ecore_DBus.h in e.h. A better way is welcome.

--snip--

The attached patch doesn't solve the problem as I dunno know which 
Makefile to patch. /usr/ports/x11/ecore/Makefile doesn't exist on my 
machine, only /usr/ports/x11/ecore-desktop.


This was not the first problem with the upgrade. As ports/UPDATING said 
on 20080312 ecore and evas have been splitted. After uninstalling and 
clean reinstalling all e-related packages now problems with 
libcore_dbus.la occure.


Please excuse my probably stupid questions here, but I'm relatively new 
to FreeBSD and try to fix most of my problems by myself. But in here im 
stuck.


Any help will be highly appreciated.

Many greetings from Germany,

Christoph

Hi I have a question about startup scripts for BSD distributions.
Can you turn off the file system check that occurs every 30 boots,

OS X doesn't (to my knowledge) do a file system check that often at
all.
   
You are thinking of the Linux ext2/ext3 filesystem.
  
   Although this is OT, does anybody have a clue why ext2/ext3 filesystems
   behave like that?
   I wouldn't like to trust a filesystem which thinks a fsck is worth it,
   although it always was a clean shutdown.
   Any clue?! :)


 ext2/3 is mounted async by default, I reckon most linux distros expect some fs
  damage to occur because of that over time maybe. Or it's a relic of the days
  when that was necessary, maybe it's not really necessary now anymore.

It's just periodic maintenance which is nearly always
set.  No more necessary than running a virus check.

UFS/FFS seems to do a better job of not messing up,
although, if you use fat32 as the standard, ext[23] is
nearly faultless as well.

The error message is benign - the controller tries to send a command to
the device, the device doesn't support it, so you get the error message.
That's all, everything else should work.

Do you load or compile into your kernel
device scbus
device cd
device atapicam

atapicam allows you to access ATAPI devices through the SCSI subsystem,
so you must ensure that you have a SCSI subsystem to access them
through.

the unfortunate part is that in this case, it doesn't seem to be

Any suggestions appreciated.  IIRC, I can use burncd if I remove scsi support.

Hey ed

Those errors look different to what was described (I only get one such
error in my dmesg), and different to what the OP reported (he didnt get
a cd0).

I don't run STABLE, just CURRENT, so I don't know what to suggest. There
was a lot of talk about problems burning in k3b on freebsd-stable@ a few
months ago, I suggest searching the archives for k3b and see what the
resolution was to that.

If you haven't already (and don't have a good reason to not), I'd ensure
your kernel + userland are up to date, perhaps track RELENG_6 rather
than RELENG_6_[12] and see if that helps.

Tom



Thanks a lot, Tom.  I am running RELENG6 from this morning.
6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #279: Thu Jun 14 07:50:36 CDT 2007

I've had some really weird problems with RELENG_6 since the end of  
May.  My kernel from May 21 has fewer problems.  Actually my CURRENT  
machines are giving me no grief and I'm considering upgrading this one  
to current.


Thanks again,

Strange problem with skype on RELENG_6 KERNEL since the end of may.

2007-06-14 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A RELENG_6 kernel from May 21 works fine with skype but boot a newer  
kernel and skype seems to be blocking port 80.   Apache logs show  
nothing.  I can find no logs errors anywhere but a telnet to port 80  
answers with what would seem to be binary chars.  I close skype and  
all is back to normal.  I had originally thought that it had to do  
with the new xorg installation but it seems to be something in the  
kernel.  The configurations were the same, basically GENERIC with all  
the pf stuff.


I won't even ask if anyone else is seeing it.  I have a hard time  
believing it myself.

 My experience is that simply having the symlink /usr/X11R6-/usr/local
 is totally sufficient.

 However it seems to me that what the port building procedure should now
 do is the following:

 * if /usr/X11R6 exists as a directory, it should issue an error message
 like it does now.

 * if /usr/X11R6 doesn't yet exist, silently create the symlink.

 This will mirror how it used to behave, in that if /usr/local or
 /usr/X11R6 did not exist, they would be created as needed.

 Oh, agreed to that.  However, there are still more changes needed
 beyond that:

 Stopping the system running periodic jobs from /usr/X11R6/etc/periodic

 Stopping the system running startup scripts from /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d

 Stopping the system searching for manpages from /usr/X11R6/man

 The last is fairly trivial, but realise that the first two mean that
 with the /usr/X11R6 - /usr/local link in place all
 /usr/local/etc/periodic jobs would get run twice, and even more
 importantly all /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ startup scripts would also run
 twice.

 Until there are new system releases incorporating the necessary changes
 in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/defaults/periodic.conf it will be
 necessary to override some of the default settings.  In /etc/rc.conf:

   local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d


I had never previously noticed that (/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d)
in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.  I understand why it is in there but
I find it overly solicitous towards that beast.



 In /etc/periodic.conf:

   local_periodic=/usr/local/etc/periodic

 and for completeness sake, comment out the 'X11R6' lines in
 /etc/manpath.conf

I think that the easiest way (i.e. least disruption) is to add to each of
the X11R6 scripts a test at their beginning to see if X11R6 is a symlink
to /usr/local, and have the scripts do nothing if this is the case.  This
way people who haven't yet switched to xorg-7.2 will not be disadvantaged
in any way.  (I don't think simply testing to see if X11R6 is a symlink by
itself will be sufficient because I bet that some people already have
symlinks like X11R6-X11 or such like.)


Philosophically, I would have voted for /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d
never appearing in /etc/defaults/rc.conf in the first place.
Setting the string explicitly in /etc/rc.conf seems just fine
by me.  Of course, X having its own etc tree (oh, you special
little thing, you) was likely a silly idea all along.  Of course,
given its absurd compexity and size one could easily adopt
the opposite argument.

UFS witholds a certain amount of space.
See man 8 tunefs for details.

You can, of course, tunefs -m 0, which will
slow down writes quite enough.  There was
a thread some time back (last year?  two
years ago?) where a well intentioned fellow
rather verbosely (at least with regard to this
mailing list) went through the entire process
of trying to get those last few blocks available.
As i recall, in the end he concluded that the
naysayers were in fact correct.  Your missing
blocks are necessary for filesystem performance
and the overage above (which itself probably
well diagnosed in other messages) while obviously
not fatal to your system was likely dragging
performance down fairly significantly, at least
on that filesystem.

Re: devfs promlem: creating new partition in empty slice

2007-03-10 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On 10/03/07, Eugene Grosbein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi!

There is FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE (updated yesterday) having single
SATA drive. The drive has two equal-sized slices ad4s1 and ad4s2,
both marked with sysid 165 (FreeBSD).

The system occupies ad4s1 (partitions from a to h),
and ad4s2 is empty. This scheme was created at installation time
with sysinstall started by system boot CD (official disk1).

Now, when the system is up and running, I need to create partitions
within slice ad4s2. Questions are:

1. Do I really need 'sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16'
if I do not want to touch MBR or living slice at all, and why, if I do?


In my experience (for this type of use) no.  You do not need
to set the sysctl.


2. How should I create new partitions within ad4s2? I've tried
to use sysinstall, it fills bsdlabel right but fails to newfs/mount
new partitions because device nodes do not exist. So now I have this:

# bsdlabel ad4s2
# /dev/ad4s2:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:   524288  20971524.2BSD0 0 0
  b:  20971520  swap
  c: 787024350unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit

  f: 20971520  73400324.2BSD0 0 0
  g: 20971520 283115524.2BSD0 0 0
  h: 29419363 492830724.2BSD0 0 0

# ls -l /dev/ad4s2*
crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  75 10 мар 14:53 /dev/ad4s2
crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  84 10 мар 14:53 /dev/ad4s2c

What should I do now to get needed device nodes? The server is remote one,
it runs in production and I'd prefer to not reboot it.


The device nodes are automagically created and managed
on all versions of FreeBSD after 5.0.  Attemting to write to
or read from any device node will create it (if possible) or
chuck an error.

It appears that the bsdlabel from ad4s1 is also being read,
or has been copied to, ad4s2.  You might want to
% fdisk ad4
and assure yourself that the slices do not overlap before
continuing.

% bsdlabel -w ad4s2 auto
% bsdlabel -e ad4s2
You can probably copy and paste those above values
if you wish, but putting swap in two different slices of
the same disk is a bit . . . unoptimal.
If you are going to just use the space as one partition,
you can skip the step with the -e flag and proceed
to newfs it.
% newfs -U -O2 -b 16384 ad4s2a
though, if it is over 60G or so, and going to be used for
storing larger files (mostly larger than 2 or 3 M),
-b 32768 might give better* performance.


* Subject to limitations and rash opinions.

session (closing putty) while keeping the process running.

So I run my process like this : # myprogram , then I exit the shell.



nohup ?

ed


But when I do that, I can see with ps that my process go from TT p0 to
TT p0- and the application doesn't work anymore. For information, the
program I want to be able to run via ssh then close the ssh session is the
moinmoin wiki which is a wiki written in python.

In man ps I can see that the trailing - after p0 means my process can
no longer reach the controlling terminal... But what can I do to achieve
my goal ?

Apparently portupgrade doesn't always work well enough.

What I ended up doing was deleting all ports, updating my ports tree,
and rebuild it all. That fixed the problem for me.


Many times when upgrading things related to

solution is
portupgrade -ufr pkg-config

Re: Unable to boot on ASUS Vintage-PE1

Hi,

Last two times I have been changing hw for the server I only needed to move

loader's lsdev does not show any partitions/devices besides the raw disks.
There are two 200G Seagate disks in GEOM Mirror. The OS is FreeBSD 6.1.

Is the Vintage-PE1 hw known to have problems with FreeBSD (or vice versa)? (I
googled but I did not find anything significant.)




From asus's page about the vintage pe1:

Perhaps this has something to do with it?  If such

would have a very unbootable system.

In my experience, there are only a handful of directories in /usr that
uses lots of disk space.
And they are related to two things:
- building the system (/usr/src and /usr/obj)
- building ports (/usr/ports, more specifically /usr/ports/distfiles)



/usr/local
/usr/X11R6
/usr/home (or just /home)

gjournal and Softupdates

2006-09-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've just watched over some of the gjournal threads.

My main question now is, whats the difference from gjournal and 
softupdates in case of reability ?
Wasn't SU design to make the use of journals needless? As far i 
remember, SU was designed to write in the cache in such a way, that 
whenever the system crashed, the FS is always consistent. Only bgfsck 
has todo a snapshot and cleanup unused space that got lost cause the 
SU did not finish as the crash occured.


Maybe someone can give me some light into that :). I always tought that 
*BSD don't need a journaling FS as it has already SU

It makes filesystem writes acquire Giant, which blocks other kernel
code that needs to also acquire Giant.  When the need to acquire Giant
was removed from the mainstream UFS code in 6.0 it was an enormous
performance improvement.


Thanks for your anwser, but i'm not sure i understand... You wrote that 
Giant is needed in 6.0 and now you write it has been removed.


So is it removed for 6-STABLE ? 6.1-rc ? Since i already use 6.x boxes, 
and i do have performance issues, i would upgrade to the right version 
immediatly

To write the MBR on the first disk, just boot the CD and select the

boot0cfg -B ad0

That should do the trick. There are several other ways to do this, but

I have yet to get it working, but I've been focusing explicitly on an

by using an Intel blade (these are by far more common), and doing the
install via the Java-based console provided by the Management Module.  It
seems as though the keyboard just 'works' once you boot into an installed

However, as I've not personally gotten it to work (and won't be able to play

approach will work.

Re: gmirror is confusing me, will I be bitten by the last-sector-use?

2006-02-21 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Now, how can I check whether my current partitions will cause trouble
  with the metadata-sector or not? I've done some searching on the net,
  but I'm still a bit confused. If I understand correctly, the consumers
  ad0/ad2 span 488397168 sectors (mediasize/sectorsize), and the
  mirror/gm0 spans 488397167 sectors.
 
 In short: kernel (g_mirror) won't let you write to the last sector of its
 media.


So long as your partition(s) exist(s) within the mirror device, you can't
problem the metadata.  If you tried writing to the last sectors of /dev/ad0
or /dev/ad2, you would damage or destroy the metadata.  So, don't do that.

I am curious about this case, does FreeBSD periodically check for the
existance of the metadata, or (like some things, the kernel for instance)
does it, once read and not rewritten, exist in memory, thus being able
to be written over on disk, not to be noticed until reboot (or modification,
if such would be your wont)?

If it doesn't appear in the config file, it is not compiled into the

Bridged packets are special and are not usually firewalled. I could be
mistaken, but I don't think you can get ipf to filter bridged packets
in 4.9. You could use ipfw2 to do it though:
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1
ipfw add deny layer2 mac-type ipv6 recv tun1
(You'll need to turn on ipfw2 to do this - see the ipfw man page for
details).

Subject: Enabling passive FTP on FreeBSD 4.5?


 I have a user who wants to use passive-mode FTP to access files on my
 FreeBSD 4.5 system.  Our firewall is set up to allow all outgoing packets
 and to allow incoming traffic on

   20  TCP  # FTP   (data)
   20  UDP  # FTP   
   21  TCP  # FTP   (control)
   21  UDP  # FTP   

 Nonetheless, she is unable to get in.  So, I'm wondering whether there is
 any configuration option I need to set.  Suggestions?

Re: Poor Mans Software raid 1 on root partition?

2002-07-15 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  You can get a 3ware 7210 for $120: http://newegg.com
 
  it'll save you a lOT of time and heartache, and it's not that much $$...

 True, but if that 3ware quits making those cards and your card goes, your
 data is completely lost.  And what if you choose not to upgrade each time
 3ware spins the cards?  How much testing does 3ware do against say the
 6000 series?  Can I take my drives on my 68XX card and plug them into a
 78XX card and have them work?  What about if 3ware creates an 88XX series?

 One significant advantage to software RAID is the fact that you can still
 extract your data from the disk even if you have to completely transplant
 the disks to different hardware.



I think what I want to achieve is a second SCSI disc, which is regularly
backed up to in some fashion, although in less than real time be OK. (vis
a vis RAID) so long as it is a bootable reliable backup with a
controllable interval backup.   (Also avoids the hardware reliance.  I have
one machine (W2000) which has a backup RAID card so it can be got running
again quickly..without worrying about sourcing another card. Clearly
this is undesirable...)

Does anyone do this?

  I'm curious, what kind of KVM do you have?

 StarView SV201


  I have a Belkin Omniview SE here, and I have a little problem
 with it. If
  I unplug the main PS/2 cable (attached to mouse) then plug it back in, I
  lose the mouse in FreeBSD, however, if I cycle the banks on the
 KVM I get
  a mouse back, but it is eratic and out of control (even if I
 kick out of X
  and use moused on the console).

 Plugging and unplugging a PS/2 device when the computers are on scares me.
 I heard it can fry the motherboard. I don't touch the cables after turning
 everything on.
 I don't have any problems after switching banks on the KVM back and forth.

I hot swap ps2 devices all the time and have NEVER had any ill effect other
than the mouse/kb not working, requiring a reboot sometimes. Often(YMMV),
hot plugging them unfreezes a mouse or kb, in my experiance. While it might
not be the BEST thing to do, it has NEVER hurt anything *I've* done it on.



  A reboot is required to fix it. Has anyone else seen this? There are no
  errors logged on the console when this happens :(

I've seen it on Omniview pro's before.

 I guess I have seen someone mention it either on this mailing list
 or on -questions some time ago.

Do they co-exist or is php4 backwards compatible with php3? Is it ok to
install both or does 3 need to be removed first?

Regarding removing ports, What's the difference between 'make deinstall' and

I've been having the exact same problem with the same upgrade for 3 days
now. I keep cvsuping/making buildworld/etc, hoping that someone will fix it
soon but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. For the amount of time
I've spent so far, just trying to get it to work right, I could have

 while trying to update from the latest 3.5-S to 4.2-S.  Both had been
 CVSupped within 24h.  I followed the UPDATING instructions.


 make buildworld -DNOPERL works around this, of course.


 But shouldn't this be fixed?  Or are 3.x users such a diminishing
 community it's not worth risking breaking the tree?


 For the record, I think these commits fubared the build (as 4.1-R has been
 reported to work):

 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Makefil
e.diff?r1=1.9r2=1.9.2.1

ITOH, I guess MFC'ing these change, it _might_ work again:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Makefile.diff?r1=
1.12r2=1.13

Random net errors: any guru out there?

2000-09-27 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've some random net problems using my FreeBSD 4.1 STABLE (i'm using
dial-up connection).

A lot of site seems to be unreachable.
I get a lot of timeout errors when i try to wget, to connect to irc
server, to use www, etcetc but:

-ping, nslookup  traceroute give me a positive response: the site is up
and running, and i'm unable to reach it

-the errors are random: in the first connection www.slashdot.org is
unreachable.
So i disconnect and redial, now i can see slashdot but another one site
that previously was ok, now is unavailable, and so again...i'm really
sad...=(

-all is ok under windows, so it's not an error of my isp, it's the bsd
side that is wrong

I hope that anyone can help me...

Paolo

p.s. apologize me for my bad english
