Soekris 6501-70 mSATA and OpenBSD
Hi there, I have a new Soekris 6501-70 and a KingSpec 8gb mSATA drive. I can install OpenBSD 5.5 over PXE but after reboot it keeps hanging at the entry point msg. I actually did some research befor I ordered the mSATA device because I know Soekris 6501 has some isuess with them but KingSpec was one of the devices that seem to have no trouble with booting up. So simple question is there something I miss here that needs to be done befor I reboot after a fresh install to get the Soekris up and running?

It's obviously a change on FB's side, not on OpenBSD's side (since you have gone back to old versions to verify the problem still happens on versions I know it didn't). Curiously, I think I have noticed it impacting my (completely stock) android phone, too, though that may just mean it is over due for a reboot. I'm not losing any sleep over it, however. I seem to have low expectations for people coding not-stupidly. Nick.
trouble with a large disk
I have a brand spanking new 3TB disk (Seagate ST3000) and it is not behaving. fdisk -i runs and runs and eventually the console goes black except for an immovable mouse pointer. sshd is killed, have to manually power down. If power on with the disk attached (usb) an on, an odd message appears and the probing stops.

Tagging people in photos works just fine. So does tagging (mentioning) peoples names in posts. It's just tagging (mentioning) peoples names in comments that ain't working (anymore). I'll try to dig into some html and javascript before sending a report.

I'm aware what my user agent is. However, I started to wonder whether my user agent string might confuse Facebook. Some time before Christmas I updated -current on my laptop. From that moment on I could no longer tag people in comments. The main reason I suspected this had to caused by some bug in OpenBSD, was that tagging kept on working on my main workstation also running -current. Being somewhat dependent on being able to tag people on Facebook, I waited as long as I could before updating -current on my workstation. Finally I had to do an update and from that moment on, tagging no longer worked. (In the meanwhile, I also had to replace the harddrive on my laptop and did a fresh install of -current. Still no success.) Since yesterday I've tried installing -current, then 5.6 and finally 5.5, on another workstation. I've also tried different network connections and disabling PF. And I've tried Chrome, Seamonkey and xombrero. Tagging in Facebook comments simply doesn't work in any browser on any OpenBSD computer I have, but works fine on any Windows computer. I know this is "silly", and I feel stupid, but this is important to me and I welcome ANY advice. (Not using Facebook is not such an advice. My daily work is related to and dependent on Facebook.

Short path to making Android APKs under OpenBSD?
Somewhere I read that Android now only officially supports their own Android Studio. Eclipse might work but needs to be newer than even OpenBSD 5.6's version. Gradle might work but seems to need Groovy, there seems to be no end to the bloatware. Android Studio is a 1 gig download and wants 4 gigs of RAM to run. Can't it be done with make or cmake? This reminds me of the gobs of software for etext publishing when an epub file is just a zip file with a certain directory structure inside. An APK file is just a zip file. I don't need easy and GUI, I can follow a checklist or write something that does it for me. I've written some Java but I'd rather use c and maybe GTK. -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX

Unnecessary configuration tweaks frequently confuse and discourage those who would otherwise help you troubleshoot legitimate issues, either because they have caused the problem in the first place or have introduced red herrings.

On an end-host I would remove them both.

Re: Performance Counters
Does pctr count events for all CPUs or just 1 CPU? I cant seem to find any good documentation for pctr other than its man page. I tried it and the values it gives are differing too much. I am counting INST_RET and CPU_CLK_UNHALTED. The ratio of these 2 gives the IPC and i am getting very varied results for the same run of the program.

Yes, also i386 will make better use of cache on the cpu which means some software will be faster. However amd64 provides a larger virtual address space which has security benefits (better ASLR). It also has more registers which means other software will be faster. > Of course, if RAM would be added you would regret not having installed > amd64... Yes to this too. It is a trade-off.

Every iX-3xxx is about the same in terms of IPC. Same for iX-4xxx, etc. But some models do have AES-NI and some don't. This will clearly matter if you're also doing IPsec or so. Also, last I checked for desktop chips, i3 was 2 core hyperthreaded (4 threads) while i5 was quad core not-hyper (still 4 threads). OpenBSD still isn't really aware of hyperthreaded, so you'll get better, more consistent performance from the i5. The i7 then goes to four cores, 8 threads, which is less than ideal for openbsd. There's also some variation in the availability of various VT extensions. Last two points probably don't matter much for a pure firewall passing packets, but the few hundred mhz gained may not be a worthwhile trade for flexibilty if you ever intend to repurpose the box.

It keeps jumping between megabytes/sec and megabits/sec which is confusing. Various things are recommended without explaining that they are a trade-off or can cause problems. There are completely pointless things like talking about TTLs. It includes "tweaks" which may improve performance of an end host (but have trade-offs) in a page mostly talking about routers, other "tweaks" which are nothing to do with networking and in some cases dangerous. Still, at least re-reading this makes me see where a user in another recent mailing list thread got the idea to mess around with mssdflt.

Modern Atoms (avoton, rangeley) will do just fine for this amount of "normal" traffic. If the ruleset is super-complicated or if there are very high PPS counts (which is by *far* more important than absolute bandwidth) _or_ if there is a reasonable chance of that happening during the expected life of the machine, then you might need faster. Just choosing between the two suggested CPUs and taking only the basic description of workload into account I'd probably choose the lower-power one. >> Or asked differently, which are the importants criteria to look at >> first for a CPU intended to be used in an OpenBSD firewall? > > Discussing the merits of a CPU that's 95% idle vs. one that's 90% idle > really misses a few points.

Right now, network and PF processing is limited to CPU0. You want that as fast as possible. Additionally, you want as fast memory transfers (from CPU to RAM) as possible. That will give you the most performance. Is it as simple as "Higher frequency."? Shouldn't there be a view on the instruction sets mostly used in network traffic handling and cycle usage of these instructions? Or is this equivalent at the up-to-date processors? If not, it is possible that lower frequency is faster.

Anyone using a Supermicro X10SBA (Celeron J1900)?
Hi Is anyone running OpenBSD successfully on a Supermicro X10SBA board? It's a Celeron J1900-based system. Specs are here: http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/motherboard/celeron/X10/X10SBA.cfm I see that the Intel I210 NICs are supported by em(4) but I haven't managed to find any reports of anyone using the board with OpenBSD and as it's a Bay Trail-based system (which I know have been problematic for various OSes) I'd like to be doubly sure before buying. Thanks :) Cheers, MJ -- Michael-John Turner * m...@mjturner.net * http://mjturner.net/

openbsd x2goclient
Hello. I have a question here. Why is x2goclient still "unsupported"? I mean..it's pretty free and i use x2go instead of NX. The only thing why i still dont use OpenBSD on my desktop is x2goclient. So once i've found this https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/x11/x2goclient Successfully compiled (just need to change "lrelease" to "lrelease4". But when i try to connect i get "segmentation fault". Core file attached below. Can someone help me to solve it, please? [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had a name of x2goclient.core]
ix(4) X710-DA4
Hi, I’m purchasing 2 new firewalls and I wonder if the ix(4) driver supports X710-DA4 Have anyone tried this in production? Thanks
Re: CPU criteria for OpenBSD firewall
Thanks to all of you for this interesting discussion. My OpenBSD firewall will only be doing PF as I totally agree that a firewall should have the least userland application running as possible of course if your budget permits it. So far I have around 340 rules (as the number of lines in the output of a "pf -sr") and a state table of around 12-20k entries depending the time of the day. As per your recommendations I will go with a higher CPU frequency and less cores as packet filtering still only takes place on one single core. I might also experiment if I should use bsd.mp or the standard non SMP bsd. I also agree with Nick that CPU is of course not the only criteria but the rest I have luckily already sorted out :) For example by using nice and modern Intel 10 Gbit/s NICs, CompactFlash industrial grade flash storage, redundant setup with 2 firewalls and CARP, etc. OpenBSD does a great job here, I don't even want to imagine the price of such a setup with C***o hardware. Cheers
