Re: Strange behavior with carp and preemption
Hi Eli, Eli K. Breen wrote: Have you tried simply unplugging one's network cable? (to more closely replicate what would happen during a hard lock or panic?) I should think things won't be as smooth. Thats correct. When ifconfig down one IF, then it works and the backup becomes master on both interfaces. Not by unplugging the cable or power off the switch. That was what I wanted to test Additionally, what happens if you shut the master down in to Single-User mode? I'm seeing a bug where if the MASTER is shutdown to single user mode it stops the BACKUP from becoming MASTER. ...which is somewhat disturbing as the original MASTER no longer actually performs any useful network functions, but it does prevent takeover of the ARP address. Has anyone else tested/run in to this? This could be done in therory. Does the master send advertisements in single user mode? When no network is enabled I don't think, that it keeps being master. However, the problem reproduced by unplugging the cable, can be solved by workarounding using ifstated(8). :-( Best regards Ralf

I wouldn't be surprised that it's the fault of this Dell PowerConnect 3024, but I'm still wondering why OpenBSD honors the tagged packet on the wrong vlan(4) interface. I know the Dell PowerConnects are crap, but it's what I have in my home for testing. The production network will be running Catalyst 2950s. The clients are all connected to untagged VLAN ports on the switch. The OpenBSD gateway is plugged into a port tagged with all 3 VLANs. Your clients have the OpenBSD system as their gateway right? Yes. I think it's normal for a multi-homed BSD system to accept traffic for all it's IP addresses (even with forwarding turned off). That does not explain why some of your ping tests fail though. I suspect the failed pings are the cause of the switch. For example, traffic wouldn't work at all until I: a) enable tagged vlan on the client port b) apply the change c) enable untagged vlan on the client port d) apply the change Packets get passed the moment I apply this final setting and not a moment before. I think you're probably right about OpenBSD responding for all homed segments, but this is just an example of how hokey this switch can be.

Re: CCD Mirroring HOWTO
http://inglorion.net/documents/tutorials/ccd/ I have a few questions/comments about the above and about ccd in OpenBSD in general. 1) You talk about RAID only works with whole disks? I'm curious which RAID implementation you're referring to... it seems like you might be talking about RAIDframe, but it works with partitions instead of disks too. (In fact, it only cares about parititions.) I might be wrong. I've only ever seen RAID used on whole disks. I'll look into RAIDframe; if that supports using partitions as components, I'll change the HOWTO. Thanks for pointing this out. 2) How does ccd keep track of the mirror getting out-of-sync? (i.e. if the system happens to fall over at the exact instant where a write hits one of the disks, but not the other?) I know how this is done in RAIDframe, but I don't see a similar mechanism in ccd, and lacking that mechanism would be Very Dangerous. (if that data is never overwritten, and a disk fails, you might be left with the disk with correct data, or the one without correct data. You flip the coin.) AFAIK, ccd doesn't have any mechanisms for that. If one disk fails, all you can do is reconfigure the ccd device to use only the remaining disks, dump the filesystem, replace the failed disk, set up your old ccd configuration, newfs, and restore. This is all manual. To me, that's acceptible, because I don't expect my disks to fail more than once a year, and I don't mind spending an hour per year rebuilding filesystems. 3) The code appears to only ever do reads from the first partition in 'old_io'-mode (the current default). That is fine if only the mirror fails, I suppose. I havn't dug deep enough into ccd.c to determine what's really going on in !old_io mode, but it looks like it reads from both parts of the mirror? (whether it needs to or not) There doesn't appear to be any mechanism here to say this write failed and then to note that the data on a particular block is now invalid. I don't know any implementation details; I haven't actually looked at the code. To me, it's enough that I have a second copy of my data. 4) Nothing is mentioned about how to recover from a disk failure. This is perhaps the most important part of any mirroring setup!! See my answer to point 2. I think I saw mention of 'dd' in another post -- if that is indeed the mechanism, then, at a minimum, care must be taking to make sure the filesystem is not being written while the 'dd' is being done!! You do the recovery offline. I believe there are some very good reasons to be using the mirroring in RAIDframe, and to not be even thinking of using the so-called-mirroring support in ccd -- to me using ccd for mirroring is just asking for trouble. It depends on what you need, I guess. If you want availability and automatic recovery, ccd is simply not an option. If all you want is to have your data mirrored, then ccd seems to do just fine. I'm in the latter category - for now anyway. But that's just my $0.02, and yes, I'll admit to being biased towards RAIDframe. At the same time, however, I don't want to see to see people get badly burned by something that is advertised as a solution when it really isn't (and when other real solutions do exist -- RAIDframe only adds 150K to SomeOtherBSD's kernel these days). I think I should add a few more warnings to my HOWTO, just to make sure people aren't expecting ccd to things it simply doesn't do. Thanks for your time. Thanks for yours. You've made some very insightful comments. Regards, Bob --- I can't remember the last time I forgot something.

to it, at least not for me. Maybe you have better luck (and more time)
than me. :-)

huge passwd/group database
Hey folks, reading groups functions for openbsd i could realize that in order to have supplementary groups retrieved, the routine pass through the entire database group. For each of the group entry, it scans if the given user matches in the list of the group member. I believe this approach does not scale (O(n*m)). Am i wrong? Since this is a many-read-few-write database, what about an aditional register for each of the users with supplementary group? In this case a single database probe could be enough. Where am i wrong? Thanks in advance.
3.8: ath(4) card not working in 11a/g mode?
Hi, I have two cards using the atheros chipset. However, setting up one as access point and the other as client only yields a connection when I enforce 11b mode on both cards. I am using a 3.8 GENERIC kernel (dated 27 Oct): OpenBSD 3.8 (GENERIC) #1: Thu Oct 27 18:22:38 CEST 2005 It detects the ath card on both machines: ath0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 Atheros AR5212 rev 0x01: irq 11 ath0: AR5212 5.9 phy 4.3 rf5112 3.6, FCC1A, address 00:0b:6b:36:fd:a6 ath0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 Atheros AR5212 rev 0x01: irq 11 ath0: AR5212 5.9 phy 4.3 rf5112 3.6, FCC1A, address 00:0b:6b:36:fe:43 I then clear the ath card settings as indicated in the man page: ifconfig ath0 -bssid -chan media autoselect nwid -nwkey -powersave down I set up the hostap with: ifconfig ath0 10.4.0.1 netmask 0xff00 media autoselect mode 11a mediaopt hostap nwid foo nwkey bar up ifconfig shows that the hostap is running: ath0: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0b:6b:36:fd:a6 media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11a hostap status: active ieee80211: nwid foo chan 36 bssid 00:0b:6b:36:fd:a6 nwkey bar inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fe36:fda6%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 10.4.0.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.255.255.255 I start the client with: ifconfig ath0 10.4.0.2 netmask 0xff00 media autoselect mode 11a nwid foo nwkey bar up but it does not find any network (I let it wait awhile to do some scanning): ath0: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0b:6b:36:fe:43 media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11a (OFDM6 mode 11a) status: no network ieee80211: nwid foo nwkey bar inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fe36:fe43%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 10.4.0.2 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.255.255.255 Same story with enforced mode 11g However setting mode 11b in the same command line as above immediately yields a connection on the client: ath0: flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:0b:6b:36:fe:43 media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11b (DS11 mode 11b) status: active ieee80211: nwid foo chan 1 bssid 00:0b:6b:36:fd:a6 nwkey bar inet6 fe80::20b:6bff:fe36:fe43%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 10.4.0.2 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.255.255.255 Not setting any mode at all starts the hostap in 11a mode and the client is not able to connect as well. Note: The boxes are standing right next to each other. I tried it in several buildings so I do not think that this might be due to interference. I wonder if this is a driver issue? Or could it be a problem with the hardware? Thanks a lot, Robert
Re: New idea on CPU fan problem

If yes, please let me know how to perform it. Nov 1,2005 Do not cross post to many lists. You may have issues with other drivers. People use to be able to solve thinks like this by booting using boot -c and disabling stuff in the ukc. Search for ukc openbsd fan speed or so in google or in the archives. /Alexander
Re: mozilla/firefox serif font
Jimmy Scott jimmy at inet-solutions.be writes: The problem I'm facing is that on sites which don't use a specific font, which should default to 'serif' and actually is 'bitstream vera serif', the text is/looks bold/blurry (wider than 1px). This really anoyes me when reading text/books because it give me a headache on an LCD screen. Yes, the serif font looks fat/bold here too. But I've set the default proportional font to sans-serif and that looks fine. Regards, Speek
Re: CPU time off by a factor of two
On Thu, 24 Nov 2005 14:40:59 -0600, J Moore wrote: I'm not clear on something... does the time drift with OpenBSD *alone*; i.e. without ntpd running? Yes. Now I let it run on its own, without ntpd, through the last night and send me a mail (I am not at it) each minute. Starting at 19.00 exactly, with a single rdate -s, at 23.00 the mail said 21.00. So the factor is 2, pretty exact. When I get to the box later, I will reboot with single CPU kernel. Since it goes into production today, I need it to be up. If necessary, I will have to rdate it once per minute to advance its clock by 30 seconds each minute. I consider this quite a bug, by now. Uwe

Re: hw.setperf strangeness
*classic* bug report. You completely fail to mention the machine type, or show a dmesg. Actually, I sent the dmesg in my immediatelly previous message to the list and therefore I didnt attach again. Oh come on. You think we have all day to find various mails from various people and piece them together? Maybe there is a bug. Maybe it should be fixed. But this particular bug right here, with your attitude -- wow -- you just lost my attention.
