Dell OMSA and FreeBSD

Re: tuning a system for a single user
Hi, I believe no FreeBSD system is single user. As root, daemon users, system users, nobody is required for running system smoothly, securely and easy, so scheduling is nessecary :) Quotas / MAC / Auditing can be disabled by compiling your own kernel, please refer to handbook for futher info. kern.maxusers is autotuned.

freebsd 8.2 on amd64 opteron
Hi List, I have been using FreeBSD for a number of years and love it. I have a friend who is competent it linux and wanted me to help him get started with BSD. He has an amd64 opteron dual core 2GHz w/ 4G memory. Not realising we installed the i386 version of freebsd 8.0 and upgraded to 8.2 without any problem. We then tried the amd64 version of 8.2 which installed without any problems. However, when we log in the system either reboots or panics with a message on the screen within about 10 minutes. I have googled around and not found very much information about this. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try to overcome this?

Re: Can't rebuild kernel with ZFS v15
I actually DID do this and had it working when using the generic kernel that was built.

Yeah, but perhaps I should have used sed instead of the second awk;
fewer processes:

have to type Ctrl-V, then a literal [::tab::] key; BSD sed doesn't do
\t.

Thanks! This rocks! :-)
What a fun thread :)
Here's my two cents, written as an sh(1) function that you can tack on to
the end of your .profile or .shrc:
(Caveats: I'm writing this on a Mac OS X machine, not on a FreeBSD machine,
at the moment, but hopefully this'll still work.
Also, the following will mess up if you have directories whose names begin
with |.)
# dg: `du--graphical'
# Usage: dg [dir ...]
# Based on script by Chris Rees
# 1459 Sunday, 3 April 2011
dg ( ) {
du -h $@ |
awk '{FS=\t; print $2\t[$1]}' |
sort |
sed -e 's:[^/]*/:| :g' -e 's:\(^\(| \)*\)| \([^|].*\):\1+-\3:'
return
}
I used the awk a[i++]=$0} END {for (j=i-1; j=0;) print a[j--] etc to
reverse the order, rather than alphabetise it because it's quicker:
$ du -h . | time sort /dev/null 2time
$ cat time
8.17 real 0.03 user 0.00 sys
$ du -h . | time awk '{a[i++]=$2} END { for (j=i-1; j=0;) print
a[j--] }' /dev/null 2time2
$ cat time2
7.77 real 0.14 user 0.00 sys
YMMV of course!
Chris
I can't argue with that. If you're a sysadmin and are managing a large system,
the sort could take some time. On the other hand, there are times when a sort
might be useful. Then again, you could always just comment that line out :)
Which reminds me, my sort line above may not sort intuitively in the case where
directory names contain characters that precede / in the ASCII character set;
for example, mydir-old sorts before mydir/ in ASCII. A quick kludge is to
translate slashes into, oh I don't know, say carriage returns before the sort,
and then translate them back after the sort, as is done below. An inelegant
and inefficient solution, but it works. However, I'm going out on a limb by
assuming users won't be running this script under MS-DOS, where this kludge
wouldn't work.
Another problem with my script above is that in some cases, if you run it on
multiple arguments, e. g., dg dir1/subdir dir2/subdir, you can't tell from
the output to which parent directory the subdirectory refers; to deal with
this problem, the revised version below runs du on each argument one at a time.
However, I ended up having to duplicate the main command in the script (once
for dg with arguments, and once without), 'cause I'm not clever enough to
figure out a way to combine the two cases into one in time to post this.
I also had a redundant [^|] in the sed expression which I took out; it
shouldn't be necessary, although the script will still mess up if any directory
names start with | .
Finally, the revised version is repackaged as a proper sh(1) script like your
original script rather than as a function, to make it independent of a user's
particular shell. Obviously further variations and improvements could be made.
Again I'm away from my FreeBSD machine and am writing this on a Mac OS X
machine; hopefully I didn't break anything.

Some people have reported setting kern.sched.preempt_thresh=224 yields a smoother desktop experience, but I don't know exactly what that sysctl actually changes, nor have I tried it myself. I haven't experienced any thing I would consider a problem with my FreeBSD desktop experience, but my machines are relatively well powered. If you're targeting something like an embedded system, I'd guess you'd find the lowest hanging fruit by profiling a specific workload. I imagine it would start to get pretty complicated quite rapidly if you're in a complex environment as what's good for one workload might be rather poor on another. I might be way off in guessing your end goal, but what I would do on the embedded system is develop a minimal baseline automated testing for each subsystem(eg disk, network) then tie that into something like ministat(1) and one of those graphing utilities.
