Do you find that including device smbios makes any perceptible

It's possible that your machine simply has no support for this. # dmesg -a |grep smb - returns nothing. I just noticed, looking back at your previous mail, that you don't seem to have a device smbios line in your kernel config. Try adding that and see if the smbios facility shows up at boot time. I don't really understand the inner workings of this particular feature. On my box, I so see an indication in the boot time messages: smbios0: System Management BIOS at iomem 0xfcd20-0xfcd3e on motherboard smbios0: Version: 2.5 Although no smbios0 device actually shows up under /dev. Perhaps some more knowledgeable individual might enlighten us as to what capabilities having this in your kernel config actually enables. Also, just looking at the (x)mbmon port, the COMMENT line in the Makefile states: A X motherboard monitor for LM78/79, W8378x, AS99127F, VT82C686 and ADM9240 So, this port appears to be useful only on a very specific range of motherboards. Does it means that it is no way to read temperature sensors on motherboard? Well, it depends. :-) I'm not at all familiar with your particular processor/motherboard, so I can only offer some rather limited advice that may steer you in the right direction for further exploration. There are a number of devices you can enable in your kernel config that may provide some of what you're looking for. Here, on my amd64 box, for instance, device amdtemp, along with device cpuctl and device cpufreq makes the following dev.cpu.* sysctls available, which are one way to (manually) monitor your system. As you can see below, this provides information on CPU temperature and frequency. # sysctl dev.cpu dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.P001 dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0 dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.cpu.0.temperature: 47.0C dev.cpu.0.freq: 2200 dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 2200/23500 1100/14280 dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/0 dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 100.00% last 1931us dev.cpu.1.%desc: ACPI CPU dev.cpu.1.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.1.%location: handle=\_PR_.P002 dev.cpu.1.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0 dev.cpu.1.%parent: acpi0 dev.cpu.1.temperature: 47.0C dev.cpu.1.cx_supported: C1/0 dev.cpu.1.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.1.cx_usage: 100.00% last 4658us dev.cpu.2.%desc: ACPI CPU dev.cpu.2.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.2.%location: handle=\_PR_.P003 dev.cpu.2.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0 dev.cpu.2.%parent: acpi0 dev.cpu.2.temperature: 47.0C dev.cpu.2.cx_supported: C1/0 dev.cpu.2.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.2.cx_usage: 100.00% last 3551us dev.cpu.3.%desc: ACPI CPU dev.cpu.3.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.3.%location: handle=\_PR_.P004 dev.cpu.3.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0 dev.cpu.3.%parent: acpi0 dev.cpu.3.temperature: 47.0C dev.cpu.3.cx_supported: C1/0 dev.cpu.3.cx_lowest: C1 dev.cpu.3.cx_usage: 100.00% last 4943us I've never really delved that deeply into any hardware monitoring tools, to be honest. You're kind of getting into an area where I am admittedly no expert. :-) But I'd suggest looking very carefully at both /sys/conf/NOTES and /sys/$ARCH/conf/NOTES (as well as the GENERIC kernel config) for some possible clues. Refer to the man pages for any specific devices of potential interest to see exactly what they're about, and possibly ask some more questions here as you start to narrow down the items that my possibly be useful to you. Seriously, people here don't mind questions being asked, if they're even semi-intelligent ones. We're a friendly bunch, for the most part. :-) Perhaps someone may offer you some more useful information on how to monitor and/or control other aspects of your specific hardware configuration besides CPU temperature and frequency. Hope this helps in some small way. Good luck! :-) -- Conrad J.

Make buildworld is how you begin a source-based upgrade to the operating system. This is completely different and separate from anything package related. You are completely on the wrong track with this. Study the Handbook some more and this may become apparent. When you refresh your ports tree (which handles dependency tracking whether you are installing from ports or using packages) you will always be looking at the latest ports/packages. This is true no matter which branch of the OS you are using. Install RELEASE, refresh your ports tree, and you will still have all the 'most current packages'. You do *NOT* need to be running - CURRENT in order to have the 'most current packages'! This still reiterates the need for you to read and study the documentation. All of this information is present in the documentation. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: DNS config help
It depends... some VPNs push routes, including default routes, and nameservers and search paths, but it's up to the client on how to handle it. Some of these will set /etc/resolv.conf, etc. What *kind* of VPN are you talking about? OpenVPN? PPTP? L2TP? I generally prefer dnscache to BIND, and the mechanism for selective resolution is straightforward. Some large companies, HP included, just publish internal (non-routable) addresses for hosts on their public servers, which solves the remote access DNS problem. - M On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 1:52 PM, AN a...@neu.net wrote: I have a question about how to configure DNS.

There are mainly 3 branches of FreeBSD to consider: -CURRENT is for developers and other contributors working on the next version of FreeBSD, -STABLE is somewhat in the middle in that it will have patches for problems that have been fixed in current and merged back to earlier release versions of code, and RELEASE. There is also a SECURITY branch where only security patches are updated to RELEASE. Since it is obvious you do not know what you are doing the best place for you to begin is RELEASE. Install and begin using a RELEASE version as a learning tool. This means version 8.2! The Handbook may have pieces which are old and could stand updating, but largely it is _THE_ reference you should be working your way through as you proceed to learn FreeBSD. The greatest bulk of what you need to learn is in there.

Once you have made some intial effort you will find that you are in a better position to provide better details on how we can help you. We cannot help you with the effort you need to make in learning the basics, and these basics are all contained in the documentation. I will make no effort to address your error.

Have you tested with iperf, ftp, or anything other than nfs? -Original Message- From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Vincent Hoffman Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2011 6:52 PM To: FreeBSD-Questions@freebsd.org Subject: nfs client speed lower than expected. Hi all, What kind of speed should I be expecting over an NFS mount from a linux box using a gig interface (igb)? I'm seeing linux clients getting approx 2 or 3 times the throughput rsyncing files from a linux nfs server that i get from a 8-stable FreeBSD client. representative results 7.26MB/s - Freebsd client 21.10MB/s liunx client I've tried a variety of files to try and take caching out of the equation, I've tweaked a few sysctls after much googling kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=400 net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216 net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc=16384 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_inc=524288 net.inet.udp.recvspace=65535 net.local.stream.recvspace=65535 net.local.stream.sendspace=65535 with no obvious improvement. freebsd mount options ro,noatime,noexec,nosuid,udp,nfsv3,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,bg,hard,intr,timeout=4,retrans=4 linux mount options _netdev,ro,noatime,nodev,noexec,nosuid,proto=udp,vers=3,rsize=1k,wsize=1k,bg,hard,intr,timeo=4,retrans=4 I have seen that using the linux server as an nfs client to write to the NFS server on the freebsd box gives similar performance to a linux client pulling from the linux server so I'm guessing its something to do with the freebsd nfs client? Any suggestions/clues welcome.
