FreeBSD 6.0-REL, system lockup, recovers when keyboard pressed
Hi all, I'm sorry if this is a FAQ. I searched but couldn't find a direct match yada yada.. I have a vanilla 6.0-RELEASE system running a bunch of network management type tools like RANCID, nfcapd, cacti and so on. After a few days of normal operation, the system (locked away in a data centre) falls off the network. Can't SSH to it, can't ping it. No ARP -- gone! I have no OOB access to this machine (it's a test box/play pen). Strangely, when I drive out and visit the machine (a HP DL320) in person and press enter a couple of times on the keyboard, it springs back to life like nothing ever happened. I literally see (for example) log entries dated Feb 07 immediately followed by entries dated Feb 28. Some processes lose the plot and need to be restarted, but others just continue on their merry way. In my searching I have found a couple of references to dodgy keyboard drivers, problems with systems on KVM switches (like this one is), and power management issues. Any clues? Unfortunately tracking -STABLE is not really an option for me on this box, but I'm more than happy to update and build a new kernel on a once-off basis if someone says it's a known bug/problem sorted out in a post-6.0-RELEASE fix. cheers, Dale ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can't load kernel, trying to install on a Dell R900.
Hello all, I'm having 'a lot' of troubles installing FreeBSD on a new Dell R900 from CD. Somehow it just doesn't seem to be able to load the kernel from the CD. The machine is turned on with the CD is inserted. It shows the message of the BTX Loader and then it stops with an error message: can't load 'kernel' At first i figured my CD was broken, so i used a different image. Still no dice, same error message. I've tried 6.2 (amd64), 6.3 (amd64) and 7.0 (amd64), sadly none of them work. I've disabled the internal CDrom drive and used an external USB CDrom drive. I figured, perhaps the internal cdrom drive is incompatible with FreeBSD. Sadly that also didn't work. Output from lsdev: cd devices: cd0: Device 0x0 disk devices: disk0: Bios drive C: I've tried install CD from VMWare ESX server, which does boot up and can be installed. So the hardware does seem to work. Can anyone advice me on how to proceed in getting FreeBSD on the machine. Perhaps an alternative install method, or perhaps the Loader is not configured properly for the R900.

Re: FreeBSD bind performance in FreeBSD 7
Adrian Chadd wrote:
(Sorry for top posting.)
Its not actually -that- bad an idea to compare different applications.
It sets the bar for how far the entire system {hardware, OS,
application, network} can be pushed.
If nsd beats bind9 by say 5 or 10% over all, then its nothing to write
home about. If nsd beats bind9 by 50% and shows similar
kernel/interrupt space time use then thats something to stare at. Even
if its just because nsd 'does less' and gives more CPU time to
system/interrupt processing you've identified that the system -can- be
pushed harder, and perhaps working with the bind9 guys a little more
can identify what they're doing wrong.
Thats how I noticed the performance differences between various
platforms running Squid a few years ago - for example, gettimeofday()
being called way, way too frequently - and I compare Squid's
kernel/interrupt time; syscall footprint; hwpmc/oprofile traces; etc
against other proxy-capable applications (varnish, lighttpd, apache)
to see exactly what they're doing differently.
Yep, and in this case NSD is currently 90% faster with prospects to push
it even higher with some further kernel changes (so far we have improved
it by 45%). BIND is limited by its own architecture, so improvements
cannot be made by modifying the kernel.
Anyway, the motivation here is not a DNS deathmatch, but part of our
ongoing effort to look for aspects of FreeBSD performance that can be
improved. Currently we are looking at UDP performance, and DNS serving
was thought to be a good model for that. It turns out that BIND does
not stress the kernel, but NSD does.

The server sends an error message as it should. What happens is that your unnamed box receives an arp request on its bge0 interface, but sends the respond on its bge1 interface. You can use snort to listen for arp packets to see what's going on. I do not know why you have created a loop, with correct routing and firewall there should be no need for a loop. The easy solution is to pull a cable - either one on that unnamed box. Ok I rechecked everything and found the loop. There was a missconfiguration/misscabling on one switch/vlan which caused leaking arp-broadcast packages to other ports :( Thanks to all for your hints and help Philippe ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Disk Geometry
On Thu, Feb 28, 2008 at 12:48:37AM +0100, ras bsd wrote: Hello list, this is my first post here. My problem is: I've installed the OS in my laptop in this order, Win XP and Debian GNU/Linux. I'm trying to dive into the freebsd world from many years in GNU/Linux. When i start the installation, when i have to enter in the disk partition section an error appears saying that the disk geometry is not valid and, anyway, I can not see the free disk space that i left free after the other OS. My scope is keep working the three OS. How can i know the correct disk geometry? What am i doing wrong? Well, I don't know why it does not see the free space unless you are looking in the wrong step. There is often confusion by new users who come from the MS world because FreeBSD uses the term 'slice' and MS uses the term 'primary partition' to refer to the same thing. Due to ancient conventions in Bios and etc, there can be up to 4 slices (or primary partitions) on any physical disk. Lunix has its own notion of extended partition as well. Don't try to use that for FreeBSD. FreeBSD must be installed/built in a free slice (primary partition by MS vocabulary). It cannot be put in some extended partition space. It is possible that you have already used up the 4 slices if the laptop manufacturer put a diagnostic utility slice on the drive. That is normally hidden from MS, but will show up to FreeBSD. If that is true, and you have used up the number of slices, then FreeBSD will not allow you to add any. You will need to use a tool such as 'gparted' or Partition Magic to shuffle things around and maybe squeeze the other slices and even nuke one. Then FreeBSD uses the term 'partition' to refer to the subdivisions of a slice. MS has some things called extended partitions which are not the same thing at all. Anyway, the point where you first need to see the free space is in the step dealing with the slices which is done with fdisk(8). As for the disk geometry issue, it normally does not matter. That is the BIOS complaining. You want to just let it go ahead and build things and try to ignore that error message. Once it gets past loading the boot sector from a slice, FreeBSD no longer used the BIOS. It handles everything itself. There are exceptions to this response, but go ahead (once you get the free space issue figured out) and try it and see if it works. It won't hurt anything and if it works, you're home free. If it doesn't then you have some more exploring to do.I am not quite sure what because although I have frequently seen that message - almost all the time, I have never had it not work to just go ahead and slice, partition and build and ignore the message. That is with both IDE(SATA) and SCSI(SAS). So, your real problem is finding that elusive free slice space or freeing up a slice number to use for it. Good luck, jerry Mi laptop is Intel Core2 Duo and the Hard Disk is SATA 200 Gb Toshiba MK2035GSS-(S1).

Well, I beg to differ with you. That's one way to do it. Yours is another.
To install the printer do the following
1. Alter permission on the device nodes chmod 0660 /dev/ulpt0
2. chgrp cupsd /dev/ulpt0
3. Add yourself to cupsd group by editing file /etc/groups
I didn't have to do any of this.
4. Move the commands of the native lpd printing system so that you can use
CUPS commands
mv /usr/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp.bak
mv /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr.bak
mv /usr/bin/lpq /usr/bin/lpq.bak
mv /usr/bin/lprm /usr/bin/lprm.bak
This is good advice, *if* the cups install has not already overwritten the base
for you.

4. Restart cupsd for instance by adding cupsd_enable=YES into your
/etc/rc.conf at the same time
disable lpd daemon by adding lpd_enable=NO
Also good advice.
5. Reboot
6. Point the web-browser to http://localhost:631 to add the printer
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I got the source code for the page
displayed in my browser. If I added a ? to the end (http://localhost:631/?),
then the page was displayed.
NOTE:
1. Your printer is using foo2zjs reversed engineered driver which you must
compile from ports. People
have reported mixed results with the driver! You have to compile the driver
before you start adding the printer.
Seems to me, for HP printers, the hpijs driver is the right choice. print/hpijs
2. You might need to disable your firewall or at least port 631 which is used
by Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
which is in turned used by CUPS.
Only if you want to be a print server. If you're just printing from a
workstation, you don't need to worry about incoming traffic on 631.
Unable to retrieve the printer list. Error message received from manager:
Connection to CUPS server failed. Check that the CUPS server is correctly
installed and running. Error: localhost: read failed (14).
This sounds like he didn't put cupsd_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf.
If I use LPR/LPRng things seem to be going well until I get to the screen
asking for URI: I have no clue as to what it is asking for.
You might have to uninstall and reinstall cups. I did. The first time didn't
work for some reason.
I used KDE's control center to set up the printer as well as the printer
manager. Everything worked fine after the initial failure and the subsequent
reinstall.

It also does it all in color, and p[retty dense at that. It's not a completely perfect printer, just my own favorite, and the fact that it's maintaining THAT popular a secondary market is a pretty good recommendation.

Power supplies are very often low quality these days and can't handle the stresses of typical electrical grid fluctuations. My experience has not been that the power supplies can't handle the electrical grid. What I've mostly seen is that the power supply FANS get dust in them, the fans slow down or stop, airflow through the supply drops, and then the supply overheats. Once it overheats, the supply will never be reliable again and must be thrown out. I've been able to routinely clean out the dust with canned air, and they still die more frequently than say motherboards. Even quality brands like Antec. I often replace the fan if it is showing signs of noise from bearing getting burned out. I'm speaking mainly of home and small office PCs. This is something that won't happen as much in a server room since the air is cleaner, but I'd guess the O.P. wasn't in that environment since he is wasting 3 days before trying another power supply. Power supplies do have a limit of life related to the quality of your electricity Not the good ones. Seriously. I run a NOC that has a 50kva natural gas fired generator. Every Tue. the generator is tested for 1/2 hour (basically we put the entire NOC on generator power for 1/2 hour) There is an automatic transfer switch that switches the entire NOC, under load, including the HVAC unit, onto generator power for 1/2 hour then switches it back to mains power. There is NO feedback circuit that syncs the sinewave from the generator with mains power. As you can imagine the switch is tremendously disruptive. All of the UPSs in the place squawk and switch into UPS power for a couple minutes. All of the UPSes in the place are cut-in types. So far we have only had 1 system lose power supplies on a regular basis, and this was a brand new, very expensive, HP server. (on UPSes of course) HP's replaced at least 8 power supplies in it under warranty. None of the others, including some of the most motley customer-owned clone equipment you might imagine, have suffered power supply failure. The HVAC unit of course heavily filters the air so there is no dust so to speak. I can pull the cover off 3 year old servers and the interior is as pristine as when they are new. And we keep the temp around 68 degrees. Please keep in mind most computer power supples nowadays are auto-switching and will run on anything from 110-220v. It is NOT dirty power that does them in. It is dust. And heat, as you said. Overloading a supply will kill it also - very few (retail) power supplies on the market will run close to their rated power output for any length of time. Today, the biggest problem I see is people demanding these minitower systems, getting these tiny small cases and stuffing them full of hard and optical drives. There's dead air spaces throughout the layout, and small, low-volume quiet fans. Hard drives also suffer as a result of this. A disk with good cooling can last many years. But few computers other than server gear provide it to the drive bays. I can recall the bad electrolyte scandle with several motherboard brands 5 years ago. The explanation of the shortened capacitor lifespan due to the electrolyte missing an ingredient was a bit of an education into what capacitors do. They do have a limited lifespan related to heat and the number of hours they are exposed to a high ripple current. Here is an excellent wikipedia entry on capacitor plague which will explain it in layman's terms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague If you have not read about this before, it may be an eye opener. I know all about that. I also own several TV sets that date from late, late 60's early 70's and still work. Electrolytic capacitors have been around a long, long time. They had them during the tube days, and tube gear ran very hot. Like anything, they have a lifespan, but it is in the multiple decades, and little dependent on ripple current or heat. The issue with the self-corroding capacitors was corrected and while the equipment (like for example, Apple eMacs of 1Ghz CPU) that had those suffered, it isn't indicative of normal electrolytic capacitor lifespan. The most heat-sensitive parts are the semiconductors, the

Or is this something verified only for the state of development back in August 2007? I have been trying to replicate this. ISC have kindly given me access to their test data but I am seeing Linux performing much slower than FreeBSD with the same ISC workload. Kris, Every couple years we go through this with ISC. They come out with a new version of BIND then claim that nothing other than Linux can run it well. I've seen this nonsense before and it's tiresome. Incidentally, the query tool they used, queryperf, has been changed to dnsperf. Someone needs to look at that port - /usr/ports/dns/dnsperf - as it has a build depend of bind9 - well bind 9.3.4 is part of 6.3-RELEASE and I was rather irked when I ran the dnsperf port maker and the maker stupidly began the process of downloading and building the same version of BIND that I was already running on my server. * I am trying to understand what is different about the ISC configuration but have not yet found the cause. It's called Anti-FreeBSD bias. You won't find anything. e.g. NSD (ports/dns/nsd) is a much faster and more scalable DNS server than BIND (because it is better optimized for the smaller set of features it supports). When you make remarks like that it's no wonder ISC is in the business of slamming FreeBSD. People used to make the same claims about djbdns but I noticed over the last few years they don't seem to be doing that anymore. If nsd is so much better than yank bind out of the base FreeBSD and replace it with nsd. Of course that will make more work for me when I regen our nameservers here since nsd will be the first thing on the rm list. Please save your rhetoric for some other forum. The ISC folks have been working with us to understand what's going on. Did anyone try disabling the onboard NIC and put in an Intel Pro/1000 in the PCI express slot in the server and retest with both Linux and FreeBSD? As I run Proliants for a living, this stuck out to me like a sore thumb. The onboard NIC in the systems they used for the testbed is just shit. Hell, just about anything Broadcom makes is shit. They even managed to screw up the 3c905 ASIC when 3com switched to using them as the supplier (from Lucent)( - I've watched those card versions panic Linux systems and drop massive packets in FreeBSD, when the Lucent-made chipped cards worked fine. I'm not aware of any anit-FreeBSD slams going on; mostly uninformed comments. It's customary in the industry before publishing rather unflattering results to call in the team in charge of the unflattering product and give them a chance to verify that the tester really knew what they were doing. FreeBSD has got slammed a number of times in the past by testers who didn't do this. In fact as I recall the impetus for fixing the extended greater than 16MB memory test was due to a slam in a trade rag from a tester who didn't bother recompiling the FreeBSD kernel to recognize the complete amount of ram in the server, and running it up against Linux. Maybe I am wrong and the ISC team did in fact call you guys in before publishing the results - but the wording of the entire site (not just the test results) indicated they did their testing and informed FreeBSD after the fact. after publishing.

Microsoft has used FreeBSD in the past for it's DNS servers, and as far as I know still uses Linux or BSD for the nameservers for their download sites (or rather, the outsourcer they use doesen't use Windows for it's DNS) and they have never had anything good to say about FreeBSD - with the exception of the version 1 port of C# to it (which they dropped in verison 2) When Microsoft took over Hotmail, Hotmail was completely running on FreeBSD and several leaked internal documents showed many internal Microsoft people were highly impressed by FreeBSD when they got into it, but that didn't stop Microsoft from publically castigating FreeBSD in it's online how we migrated Hotmail to the (superior) Windows platform whitepapers. Apple's dependence on FreeBSD is legendary - yet Steve Jobs has several times at MacWorld referred to Darwin as based on Linux and that it's Linux-like, and similar to Linux, all of which are baldfaced lies. (At least, according to the Apple website which credits FreeBSD here: http://developer.apple.com/opensource/index.html) The point here is there are MANY organizations that publically beat the Linux bandwagon drum yet privately don't use Linux as much as they use FreeBSD internally This study of theirs on http://new.isc.org/proj/dnsperf/ is the proof of the pudding. I also noticed according to the testbed they are using HP Proliant DL140 G3 servers - those servers use El-crappy Broadcom 5722 ethernet chips on their motherboard, and the FreeBSD driver for these chips is iffy - FreeBSD 6.1 in fact paniced when using this chip family, as I documented in a PR for an HP Proliant server. And, HP supports and supplies the RedHat Linux driver for this chipset for this server, and there's no question that Gentoo uses the same driver. I can hardly think of a more unfair testbed that is more tilted towards Linux than these servers. But that's OK you continue rooting around in the FreeBSD 7 kernel all you want, don't bother actually looking at the network hardware, we all know it doesen't matter.NOT! Consider also that ISC is 501(c)(3) The money they are spending on employing FreeBSD developers and hosting ftp.freebsd.org isn't theirs. It's donated to them specifically to be used for these purposes. e.g. NSD (ports/dns/nsd) is a much faster and more scalable DNS server than BIND (because it is better optimized for the smaller set of features it supports). When you make remarks like that it's no wonder ISC is in the business of slamming FreeBSD. People used to make the same claims about djbdns but I noticed over the last few years they don't seem to be doing that anymore. What, you mean factual statements? NSD *is* faster, it *is* more scalable, it *does* support fewer features than BIND, and it *is* more optimized for those features (e.g. it tries to precompute DNS responses, which it can do because it doesn't support dynamic updates, etc). The ISC devels acknowledge this. BIND has architectural constraints from being a more complete DNS server solution. You could have just as easily said a more feature-lacking, stripped-down nameserver like nsd is faster. That's factual too. Your even doing it now; architectural constraints? Look at the language the ISC uses to describe it's server: http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/about/press/?pr=2007032700 I see fastest version yet not slower than other nameservers Granted, neither group is making money on the nameserver software, it's not like money is at stake here.
