We have two firewalls running OpenBSD 4.2 with PF and CARP. We have
two web servers that we want to load balance traffic between and have
clients stay connected to one server as long as that server is up.
Our /etc/pf.conf and /etc/hoststated.conf files are configured per the
examples in The Book of PF on pages 51-53. The problem is that a
web client is not sticking to one server or the other. Each time we
refresh the page in the browser, we connect to the other server. The
servers each have a web page whose contents identify which server it
is.
We have been testing this from clients with IP addresses on the
10.1.16.0/24 subnet which is attached to the trunk0 interface on the
firewalls. The web servers are on the 10.1.48.0/24 subnet connected
to trunk2 on the firewalls.
Here are the contents of the config files:
/etc/pf.conf
-
int_if=trunk0
build_if=trunk2
webserver=10.1.48.200
webports = { http, https }

AFAIK this second rule will never be executed if hoststaed is
running, because hoststated creates the same rule (before) on the
anchor position.

Later on, on this mailing list, you have changed your statements to say that your recommend against OpenBSD because it now... RECOMMENDS non-free software. Clearly the TRUTH as well! We have all witnessed that! We've made it quite clear that Emacs and gcc recommend the use of non-free software, by directly containing code to support those systems. The ports tree does not contain code to support non-free components. It simply provides URLs to a few select things which people might wish to use. Itself, it contains no non-free code and makes no recommendations. But gcc and emacs directly contain code which RECOMMENDS compilation on non-free systems, by actually compiling and running there. This is the TRUTH! By containing code which recommends compilation on non-free system then Richard you are doing MORE to support non-free than the OpenBSD ports system is! That's a fact!

There's no need to uncomment the acpi driver, it already is

gigabit lan chipset
Hi, I'm planning to buy this: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=730 or as alternative this mainboard: http://de.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2model=1163l1=3l2=101l3=300 First one has a Vitesse VSC8601 LAN-Chipset. Second one has a NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP built-in dual Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY. Both seem not to be supported according to the hardware pages. Anyone knows if I can get one of these working, maybe the second one with nfe(4) and with -current? Regards, Joerg

Second one has a NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP built-in dual Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY. My regular workstation is a M2NSLI-Deluxe with two e-GeForce 7100GS Cards. It does not have wireless but does have dual gigabit. I installed 4.0 from the CD and it worked well initially. After a while the nfe0 interface stopped responding (I was syncing with the CVS repository at this time). I upgraded to -current and the same thing happened when compiling OpenOffice. I was trying different things to solve this problem thinking that it had something to do with activity on the machine or the network. For some reason setting mediaopt to 100BaseT instead of autoselect seemed to resolve the issue.I have not had a problem with nfe0 for the past few weeks. many thanks for the info. i will give it a try...

Here are the details: ## # versions: ## OpenBSD 3.9 stable Python 2.5 MySQL 3.23.58 MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 i assume you want to install or have already installed all this versions from source on 3.9? a bleeding edge python version vs. a historic mysql- version, why? why did you not take the versions from ports in -current or the packages from 3.9? regards, joerg
Re: RAIDFrame parity rebuild: why so slow?

I've tried RAID1, RAID5, SCSI drives, IDE drives, processors from PentiumII 400s to Athlon64 3200+ and it has *always* been ridiculously slow at rebuilding. Just a 9G RAID5 partition takes over 2 hours. A 60G RAID1 takes 11 hours. 11!!! Before flaming me to say, just go and edit the code, it's never been out of beta or whatever, explain why compared to other OSes it's always so slow, even to build the first time around. Linux's code in particular comes to mind. maybe this is one of the reasons why raidframe is not officially supported and not enabled in stable kernel. i think another reason is that the actual raidframe implementation is not the best - citation of a developer: the code is crap... but hey its open source, go, go, go: rewrite it :) i use a 250 gb raid 1 and tooks 3h to rebuild parity on an athlon 2600 (32-bit). regards, joerg -- https://www.umaxx.net A: Because it messes up the order in which people read text.
