Jails that won't die...

2005-06-28 Thread Eirik Øverby
Hi, I have, since upgrading to 5.x and updating my management tools, seen a number of problems relating to stopping jails. I'm maintaining several hosts with a number of full-featured jails (i.e. full virtual FreeBSD installations in each jail), and in general this works fine. However,

Network/fxp related panic in 5.4?

Hi all, I recently re-enabled SMP on one of my 5.4 servers (dual intel p3), and after a relatively short while (couple of days) it starts acting up. Today it was frozen and had jumped into kernel debugger on serial console. Problem is that my serial console was controlled by a terminal

NFS-related hang in 5.4?

2005-06-19 Thread Eirik Øverby
Hi, when doing large file transfers (backing up jails using tar+gzip to a neighboring server), NFS has a tendency to lock up on me. This usually happens after quite a while - like a few hours or so. Also, before the hang, performance is generally bad. KDB trace: db trace Tracing pid 56

Hi folks, I have sinned, I have forgotten to configure a dump device. I do have a debug kernel compiled though (I think), so maybe someone can help me figure out what's happening here. Nothing in particular going on, server has been up for a few weeks. Dual opteron machine, running

Hi all, I'm struggling with some hosting environments where I am managing a large number of jails (100) spread over about a dozen servers. I am starting to see disk space as a real problem, especially given that each physical box needs to be autonomous - i.e. I can't rely on any external storage,
