[osol-discuss] pax considered harmful
Hello, can anyone confirm my observations with the attached test script? pax corrupts files if they contain more than 57 holes in it. I just found out today by accident after copying a large backup file. I was able to reproduce the bug on Solaris 10 and snv133, on UFS and ZFS. Is pax in the closed bins? I couldn't find its source code.

So I have to actually *read* the output instead of a quick look how wide the size column is. In order to compensate for larger disks and larger filesystem sizes I'd would much more like to see a -m flag (for the output in MBytes instead of kBytes).

My previous posted results with openssl speed are void. 32 bit code was compiled with -xO3 while the 64 bit code was compiled with -xO5.

Well, at least from the above we know that the kernel boots. The rest appears to be a problem with one of the kernel (fs) modules. Well, not really. What boots is a stock Solaris 10 kernel: SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic 64-bit Copyright 1983-2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. These platform files for sun4us just fly around at Sun and don't get updated or recompiled. Later functions got added to the main kernel file, like: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6216134 for this symbol below /kernel/fs/sparcv9/specfs: undefined symbol 'lwp_stat_update' or http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6369724 for /kernel/fs/sparcv9/specfs: undefined symbol 'i_ddi_devi_attached' But the sun4us-kernel never got updated, so this symbol cannot be resolved. I could try to use the files from the latest kernel patch (lwp_stat_update() was backported to Solaris 10 shortly after GA, but i_ddi_devi_attached() hasn't been backported yet), but this would just get me an ugly patched together system. I doubt such a mess would even get to single-user mode. Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] question concerning kstat's biostats, ufs_inode_cache, hsfs_hsnode_cache
Thomas Maier-Komor schrieb: Hi, I am once again looking at a kstat output and trying to understand what some of these fields might mean and what their unit might be. Unfortunately the units aren't documented anywhere, are they? Use the source, Luke! biostats is probably the statistics for the ddi I/O buffers of Solaris that are accessible via bioinit(9f). So lookup and cache hits and misses are counted here. Unit is probably each. http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/os/bio.c#biostats Later in the same file you can look up when the statistics will be incremented. But I don't think biostats are of much interest any more. Concerning ufs_inode_cache and hsfs_hsnode_cache, I'd like to know what unit buf_inuse has. Is it kB or pages or something else? Unit is number of elements, as with all kstat entries of class kmem_cache. BTW: is the result sysconf(_SC_CPUID_MAX) the maximum id a processor can have or the maximum id no processor will ever have? Well, sysconf(_SC_CPUID_MAX) ends finally in the kernel: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/syscall/sysconfig.c#165 max_cpuid is initialized to a default value of (NCPU - 1) - some architectures may re-set max_cpuid: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/os/cpu.c#max_cpuid So _SC_CPUID_MAX returns the maximum possible value. If a architecture supports cpuids from 0..31 (total 32 cpus) then sysconf(_SC_CPUID_MAX) will return 31. So you should iterate over for(cpuid = 0; cpuid = cpuid_max; ++cpuid) ... But for my performance gathering tool I wrote a few years ago I didn't bother to get _SC_CPUID_MAX at all. I just iterated over all kstat entries while searching for the right kstat modules: ncpu = 0; for(ksp = kc-kc_chain; ksp != NULL; ksp = ksp-ks_next) { cpu_stat_t *cp; if((ksp-ks_type != KSTAT_TYPE_RAW) || (strncmp(ksp-ks_module, cpu_stat, 8))) continue; if(kstat_read(kc, ksp, NULL) == -1) continue; ++ncpu; [...] } It really isn't that inefficient. Even on large machines with many RAM, lots of disks and CPUs the cumulative running time was ~60 minutes over a period of 200 days. The program fetched every 60 seconds performance counters from disks, network, memory and cpu. Only on Solaris 2.6 accessing the kstat system_misc module blocked for a few seconds on machines with large memory. Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] question concerning kstat's biostats, ufs_inode_cache, hsfs_hsnode_cache
Thomas Maier-Komor schrieb: I also iterate only once and search for the modules/classes of interest. Why do you use strncmp? Are ks_module and Co not guaranteed to be null terminated or did you mix it up with ks_name which includes the trailing id? Maybe just a leftover from an earlier implementation which iterated over ksp-ks_name. strcmp() should be sufficient - the strings are null terminated. Interesting experience - thanks for sharing it. I'd like to know if the behavior concerning system_misc has improved with later Solaris releases... Well, in Solaris 2.6 it took 2-3 seconds to read system_misc on a machine with 32GB RAM and ~600 MHz CPUs. I skipped Solaris 7 and in 8 the problem went away - so I don't know if it has been fixed in 7 or 8. The statistics in system_misc were sometimes even unusable (pp_kernel had ridicilous high values). Therefor I added some comments in the source code: /* * Zugriff auf system_pages braucht extrem viel Zeit (1s bei 32 GB RAM). * Gibt es nicht etwas besseres? */ if((ksp = kstat_lookup(kc, unix, -1, system_pages)) == NULL) return; if(!kstat_read(kc, ksp, NULL)) return; pp-kmem = data_lookup(kc, ksp, pp_kernel) * pagesize; /* Bug in älteren Solaris-Versionen */ if(pp-kmem totalmem) pp-kmem = 0; Some other things you should consider (I fell into these traps while writing my little program): . altough the network drivers do have 64 bit counters in addition to the 32 bit ones (obytes64, opackets64, rbytes64, ipackets64) - at least for the bge driver these counters are still 32 bit values, so they wrap at 2^32. So don't rely on these values really 64 bits wide. . If you do DR operations or add/remove disks you have to kstat_close() kstat_open() again - otherwise you won't notice the changed configuration. . Also DR: Remember that on large machines if you detach a system board some cpu_stat%d entries might vanish. . If you count disk usage remember that SDS/SVM also registers its devices to kstat. In my program I did calculate a disk I/O summary over all disks and I wondered why on some machines these values were doubled or 2.5x: They were setup with SDS while other machines had VxVM (no kstat) installed. . Same goes for disk/partition kstat classes: don't count disk I/O twice. Basically the relevant portion looks like: for(ksp = kc-kc_chain; ksp != NULL; ksp = ksp-ks_next) { if(ksp-ks_type != KSTAT_TYPE_IO) continue; if(!strcmp(ksp-ks_module, md)) continue; if(!strcmp(ksp-ks_class, partition)) continue; kstat_read(kc, ksp, kio); pp-rops += kio.reads; pp-wops += kio.writes; pp-rbytes += kio.nread; pp-wbytes += kio.nwritten; } Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

The idea is that entries in /etc/vfstab are possibly in use, and designed to help users not step on filesystems that may not be mounted at that time, but could potentially be something they want to keep. In this special case it wasn't even a filesystem, but the swap device. You won't loose any vital data from an inactive swap device (ok, in theory you could loose a crash dump if you shrink swap).

(what i'm trying to transpose to solaris is the concept explained here: http://www.netadmintools.com/art295.html) Yes, the numbers should be the same. 1. On Solaris, there is no upper limit on the number of open descriptors 2. File descriptor memory is handled by the kmem_cache_* functions, see kmem_cache_create(9F), they maintain kstat info automatically. You can get the whole kmem_cache info for the file cache via kstat -n file_cache 3.

Re: [osol-discuss] Re: RFE: /etc/systemtuneabletosetthedefaultpagesize
Dennis Clarke schrieb: In what sense? It already says the sun4u architecture doesn't support the 4K blocksize. It simply seems odd to refer to the 4K page size for the non-sun4u hardware when Solaris 10 does not support sun4m or sun4d etc etc. Simply leave the manpage with an 8K page size ( block size ) and leave it at that. Well, there still exists one non-sun4u supported hardware with even gaining popularity: i86pc. I still sometimes create filesystems with -b 4096 -f 512 (my news spool, performance doesn't matter, but size does). But why is UFS in Solaris limited to 8K blocks max? UFS on FreeBSD (even UFS1) uses 16K blocks as default for years. Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] Strange CPU Utilization Problem
Jerry Gardner schrieb: My dual Opteron system running snv_27 occasionally gets into a state where processor utilization goes to 100% on one processor for a second or two and then drops back to zero, and then the whole cycle repeats on the other processor. The system is not doing anything processor-intensive when this happens--it's just sitting at the JDS screen. This continues until the system is rebooted. Sounds at least partly familiar for me. Does the system become sluggish after a few hours? I too saw strange CPU utilisation jumps, strange statistics counters, etc. Anyone else see this? Is there a fix? My problem was related to the bug below http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6336786 Haven't heard that Dual Opterons were also affected. But the bug is a BIOS issue, no processor issue. Since Opterons are targeted for another market than Athlon64, they usually don't program activate those fancy power saving features into the BIOS. Maybe not in your case. Daniel ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] milestone none really means nothing running at all really
Joerg Schilling schrieb: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you boot from a device the node does not need to be present in /dev* in order for you to remoutn it r/w so you can fix it. This was true before /devices was on the devfs filesystem. But having /usr ready helps a lot. It is no fun, cd'ing into /devices, doing an echo * just to find out where your /usr might be located. You may have to write a cat replacement in sh, cannot grep into files, etc. So with devfs it should be possible to recover with a separate /usr; OTOH having a unified / /usr eases recovery a lot.

Re: [osol-discuss] inode numbers on ZFS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: ZFS is a 128 bit filesystem, isn't it? Depends on whether it's large file aware or not, I'd say. (the ino field in stat64 is 64 bits) So to fully utilize a ZFS file system the average file size has to be 16 EB? People are already moaning today that on MT-UFS the average file size has to be 1 MB... I hope it is just an interface limitation and that ZFS's internals don't impose such a limit.

Joerg Schilling schrieb: Daniel Rock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: With a UFS version from SunOS-4.0 (1987) or later, newfs of course and even by default uses bigger values (depending on the geometry and size of the disk). BTW: The number of inodes/cylinder group is unrelated to the number of cylinders per group. If you want to enlarge cpg, with the same amount of total inodes in the file system, you'll need more space for the inode bitmap in the cg superblock. But the cg superblock is limited to one fs block. So to use a larger cpg value you usually have to decrease the inode density. This is what I said: The clean flag was always in (but unused). SunOS-4.1 did introduce it around 1989. FreeBSD did introduce an incomatible implementation after 1993.. Who cares. I already told you, that I had to fsck the filesystem anyway before using it on the other system, so the fs_clean flag was irrelevant. WRONG: Nothing did shift caused ny the shadow inode. I said that they are on shifted locations. I didn't say that they were once shifted on purpuse in the same implementation. I have done it back these days several times. I used an UFS formatted ZIP disk for data exchange between FreeBSD and Solaris/x86. It was far from perfect, but it worked at least for regular files and directories. I didn't have any intention for using more features. If you did do the exchange between FreeBSD and an old Solaris version that still did use ic_oeftflag, you may have had more luck then now. Like I said: Back these days. I also pointed out several times, that it may not work with newer releases anymore. But what is your point? We all know that *BSD's and Solaris' UFS have subtle differences. I just said, that I once was able to ignore these differences and was able to read and write UFS file systems on the other system.
