Can someone suggest a good way to proceed to figure out what's going on? Can you get network access to the machine when it gets into this state? If you can't, that suggests the OS is hanging or crashing, possibly in response to going into some sort of power-saving mode. If you can get in, then there are many more possibilities. Firstly, you should be able to kill and restart the X server, which might get your display back without rebooting. Or else you could shutdown and reboot cleanly. As to working out what the underlying cause of the problem is: that's harder. I'd try experimenting with the power saving settings for your graphics display. If you can turn them off as a test, and the machine then survives for an extended period of idleness, you'll have gone a long way towards isolating the problem.

Blender port
Hi All, I've installed Blender from the ports, and it compiled fine, without any error. However, when I start Blender (even just with a -v for version info), it core dumps. So I did a ktrace, and it seems to stumble on a library it cannot find: libirml.so This library however is nowhere to be found on my system, nor in the ports repository.

HELP! core dumps: install, mtree, et cetera all of the sudden after portmaster security/cyrus-sasl2
I ran into a very delicate and nasty situation. On several boxes, FreeBSD 9.1-PRE and FreeBSD 10-CURRENT (build of CURRENT sources from yesterday, r239295 Wed August 15 17:04:51 CEST 2012 amd64, I had to recompile all requirements of port Apache22, since after the port update it core dumped.

On both FreeBSD 10-CURRENT boxes it ended up in a mess, all of a sudden(!), while reinstalling port security/cyrus-sasl2, things started to fail in a dramatik way!

An installation failed due to pkg(ng) was missing libarchive.so via portmaster or via core dumping install(1). By installing on one box, my home box, port security/cyrus-sasl2 manually, luckily install(1) and mtree(1) didn't coredump and it worked - and this precedure rescued me.

Re: Best file system for a busy webserver
Does anyone have any opinions on which file system is best for a busy webserver (7 million hits/month)? Is anyone one system noticeably better than any other? Use stock UFS, just configure it properly. most importantly noatime. Amount of cached data is more important than hit count. Unless your webpage is incredibly bad design or constantly load different set of large amount of small file - filesystem shouldn't be a limit. Repetitive file fetches would go from cache. Just curious. I'm getting ready to setup a new box running FreeBSD 9, and since I'm starting from scratch, I'm questioning all my previous assumptions. Small files will be cached, if you push data from large set of big files that will not fit cache, make sure transfers will be fine. use 32kB block size, 4kB fragment size for UFS add options MAXPHYS=2097152 (or even twice of that) to your kernel config so there will be large transfers from disk. This tuning will not make any harm to small files. My recommendation is for serving files by WWW (or actually - by any means). If you ask for SQL database subsystem then answer is completely different: make sure all database fits memory cache, or is on SSD or it WILL BE SLOW no matter what you use. Do everything you can to limit amount of sync writes. if you use SSD and your database software allow dedicating raw partition - do it. If not - it is not crucial but useful, avoid double buffering of unix cache and database cache. ___ 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: ZFS stats in top -- ZFS performance started being crappy in spurts
On Aug 11, 2012, at 5:33 PM, Chad Leigh - Pengar LLC wrote: Hi I have a FreeBSD 9 system with ZFS root. It is actually a VM under Xen on a beefy piece of HW (4 core Sandy Bridge 3ghz Xeon, total HW memory 32GB -- VM has 4vcpus and 6GB RAM). Mirrored gpart partitions. I am looking for data integrity more than performance as long as performance is reasonable (which it has more than been the last 3 months). The other servers on the same HW, the other VMs on the same, don't have this problem but are set up the same way. There are 4 other FreeBSD VMs, one running email for a one man company and a few of his friends, as well as some static web pages and stuff for him, one runs a few low use web apps for various customers, and one runs about 30 websites with apache and nginx, mostly just static sites. None are heavily used. There is also one VM with linux running a couple low use FrontBase databases. Not high use database -- low use ones. The troubleseome VM has been running fine for over 3 months since I installed it.Level of use has been pretty much constant. The server runs 4 jails on it, each dedicated to a different bit of email processing for a small number of users. One is a secondary DNS. One runs clamav and spamassassin. One runs exim for incoming and outgoing mail. One runs dovecot for imap and pop. There is no web server or database or anything else running. Total number of mail users on the system is approximately 50, plus or minus. Total mail traffic is very low compared to real mail servers. Earlier this week things started freezing up. It might last a few minutes, or it might last 1/2 hour. Processes become unresponsive. This can last a few minutes or much longer. It eventually resolves itself and things are good for another 10 minutes or 3 hours until it happens again. When it happens, lots of processes are listed in top as zfs zio-i zfs tx-tx db-db state. These processes only get listed in these states when there are problems. What are these states indicative of? Ok, after much reading of ZFS blog posts, forum postings, email list postings, and trying stuff out, I seem to have gotten stuff back down to normal and reasonable performance. In case anyone has similar issues in a similar circumstance, here is what I did. Some of these may have had little or no effect but this is what was changed. The biggest effect was when I did the following: vfs.zfs.zfetch.block_cap from default 256 down to 64 This was like night and day. The idea to try this from a post by user madtrader in the forum http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43830page=2 . He was recording multiple streams of HD video and trying to play HD video off a stream from the same server/ZFS file system. Also, setting vfs.zfs.write_limit_override to something other than the default disabled 0 seems to have had a relatively significant effect. Before I worked with the block_cap above, I was focussing on this and had tried everything from 64M to 768M. It is currently set to 576M and is around the area where I was having best results on my system with my amount of RAM (6GB). I tried 512M and had good results and then 768M, which was still good but not quite as good as far as I could tell from testing. So I went with 576M on my last attempt and then added in the block_cap and things really are pretty much back to normal. I turned on vdev caching vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size form 0 to 10M. Don't know if it helped. I also lowered vfs.zfs.txg.timeout from 5 to 3. This seems to have had a slightly noticeable effect. I also adjusted vfs.zfs.arc_max The default of 0 (meaning system self set) seemed to result in an actual value of around 75-80% of RAM, which seemed high. I ended up setting it at 3072M, which for me seems to work well. Don't know what the overall effect on the problem was though. Thanks Chad

HELP! core dumps: install, mtree, et cetera all of the sudden after portmaster security/cyrus-sasl2
I ran into a very delicate and nasty situation. On several boxes, FreeBSD 9.1-PRE and FreeBSD 10-CURRENT (build of CURRENT sources from yesterday, r239295 Wed August 15 17:04:51 CEST 2012 amd64, I had to recompile all requirements of port Apache22, since after the port update it core dumped. On FreeBSD 9.1-PRE, with pkg(ng), things went well. Recompilation and installation of all portmaster -f apache-2.2 requirements went perfect. On both FreeBSD 10-CURRENT boxes it ended up in a mess, all of a sudden(!), while reinstalling port security/cyrus-sasl2, things started to fail in a dramatik way! On both FBSD 10 boxes, the installation of the port security/cyrus-sasl2 got corrupted by install and/or mtree dumping core and signalling SIGNAL 11. Booting into multiuser mode is impossible, login core dumps SIGNAL 11, many other daemons, too. The only way is to boot into single user mode. An installation failed due to pkg(ng) was missing libarchive.so via portmaster or via core dumping install(1). By installing on one box, my home box, port security/cyrus-sasl2 manually, luckily install(1) and mtree(1) didn't coredump and it worked - and this precedure rescued me. But on my lab's development box, it doesn't work! On this specific box, where this nasty problem also occured the same way by simply recompiling everything for port www/apache22, including the reinstallation of port security/cyrus-sasl2. Nearly every binary is suddenly coredumping (as on the home box). login, vi, install, devfs, syslogd, mtree, id, find ... a whole lot of binaries seem to be compromised by something I do not see (libsasl2.so perhaps?). I tried to help myself via copying /rescue/vi to /usr/bin/vi to have at least a working vi. But in /rescue, I can not find install or mtree. I'm not familiar with the sophisticated ways of /rescue. Where are install(1) and mtree(1)? Trying to reinstall security/cyrus-sasl2 from single-user fails due install coredumps. pkg(ng) fails due to missing libpkg.so.5 and even rejects being reinstalled. But /usr/local/lib/libpkg.so.0 is even there! Disabling the use of pkg with commenting out WITH_PKGNG=yes in /etc/make.conf leads to the above issues with mtree and install. Disabling this pkgng tag leads to reinstallation of missing packages, which are store in the pkgng sqlite format and not as ASCII anymore, but then I get /var/runld-elf.so.hints: No such file or directory Error: shared library iconv.3 does not exist. But most of the libs have never been touch! So what is the loader complaining about? Well, I'm floating like a dead man in the water and I'm glad that one box survided although suffering from the same symptomes. I tried to find rescue images and a rescue DVD of a snap shot server, but there is no way to crawl through the informations on the web pages towards a snapshot. All folders end up in 2011 and highly outdated (www.freebsd.org, I didn't look at mirrors since I thought the main server carries the most recent stuff). This isn't funny. No lead, no hint, even in the download section. If someone has some hints how to recompile the sources with an emergency booted disk, I highly appreciate some desater advice. Maybe the release of FreeBSD-10-CURRENT sources I compiled do have accidentally a nasty bug, so it would be nice to update the sources and have a complete recompilation done.

To show a directory from a base-host to a member-jail, I'd recommend using a
nullfs-mount.
Furthermore, you can automate the process in 2 different ways (scoped
differently depending on how you use jails).
You can add jail_{name}_mount_enable=YES to rc.conf(5) which enables the
automatic handling of /etc/fstab.{name} every time you perform a service jail
start|stop|restart {name} (the mount will automatically be mounted and
unmounted on-demand of bringing the jail up-and-down irrespective of the base
host but respective to each jail). You'd load you /etc/fstab.{name} with your
nullfs mounts.
The second way is of course is to put all your nullfs mounts into /etc/fstab
(proper) but mark them as noauto (if desired) and optionally (if going the
noauto approach) add jail_{name}_exec_prestart=mount dirname and likewise
[optional] jail_{name}_exec_poststop=umount dirname
All depending on how you use jails.
If you'd of course rather prefer all the mounts come up at boot and go from
permanent directories to permanent directories (which you know will never go
away), _and_ you like the idea of not having mounts going up and down with your
jails (perhaps you're fine-tuning your jail's startup), I'd say throw them into
/etc/fstab full-auto and not associate them with the jails. But it's all up to
you.
Hope that helps.
What I'd really like is something like ftpchroot for but ssh.
Hmmm, does the above approach work better? just exposing one directory to his
jail via nullfs?
suggestions?

Devin

Is anyone one system noticeably better than any other? With only 15G of data, I'd recommend a pair of 60G SSD drives like the OCZ Vertex IIIs (About $1/G these days) wired into a *hardware* RAID controller setup to mirror them. This gives you blazing speed and reliability. If you want to add another drive, you can make it RAID 5 which - with the right cabinet and mounting hardware - would give you hotswap capability. I know people are fond of software RAID but I personally do not consider this a very high reliability technology unless you're running true datacenter class hardware with redundant everything (disk, NIC, fiber ...) and that's probably overkill in this case. Good RAID controllers are available from a number of manufacturers. I dunno if FreeBSD supports them, but Rocket has a good reputation (though I've never used them) as do both Adaptec and LSI. In any case, a controller plus 3 drives would probably only set you back in the $500-ish area which seems like a reasonable price point. Furthermore, depending on the amount of stuff that you're serving that is static vs. dynamic, you may get benefit from increasing memory (thereby increasing the likelihood of a cache hit) and increasing the minimum/threshold values for the number of httpd processing running all the time. -- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ 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: freebsd-update and csup - I'm going around in circles.

But when I run csup with my standard-supfile, it puts the same 5 files back to where they were. Not and. Why are you mixing tools here? You're shooting your own foot. :-) You use _either_ freebsd-update to update your system the binary way, _or_ you use csup to update your sources and then compile your system from that sources. Solution: Don't use csup. :-) Side note: Check your update configuration files so they reflect the proper branch you want to follow. With freebsd-update you follow the -RELEASE-pX branch, with csup you can a) follow -RELEASE-pX b) follow -STABLE c) follow -CURRENT Note that you should not mix those! You can always switch branches when using the source code based method (csup), but you should not do so using freebsd-update. An example configuration to follow -RELEASE-pX using the csup method with make update would look like this: % cat /etc/sup/release.sup *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_9_0 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all Together with the selection in /etc/make.conf: SUP_UPDATE= YES SUP=/usr/bin/csup SUPFLAGS= -L 2 SUPHOST=cvsup.freebsd.org SUPFILE=/etc/sup/release.sup PORTSSUPFILE= /etc/sup/ports.sup DOCSUPFILE= /etc/sup/doc.sup DOC_LANG= en_US.ISO8859-1 de_DE.ISO8859-1 you can easily control the process. (Sidenote: I also have /etc/sup/stable.sup which looks like the example provided, but has tag=RELENG_9 in it. You could also use tag=RELENG_9_0_0_RELEASE to revert back to 9.0-RELEASE.)

Re: Best file system for a busy webserver
OK I would say there's no pressing reason to consider ZFS for this another ZFS fanatics. it is about performance. direction for a filesystem, at 15GB if performance ever becomes a problem a RAID1 of SSDs with UFS would make it fly probably into the hundreds of hits per second range. classic for ZFS and modern things fanatics. lots of talk about high end hardware nothing about a thread. ___ 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

Double boot
Hello, I have installed FreeBSD 8.3 to Toshiba Satellite besides Windows XP. Unix boots ok, but I can't reach Windows anymore! It shows: F1 Win F2 FreeBSD F6 PXE Boot F1 - If I press F1, it stays hanging forever. I'm relatively new to FreeBSD. Please, advise which way to go out of this situation. When I rerun sysinstall, there is a warning: chunk 'ad0s2' [179380224..234441647] does not start on a track boundary (the chunk of FreeBSD) How to change the boundary of chunk? CDROM is not reachable, something happened to it. I can use only FreeBSD instruments. Which of them?

Re: Best file system for a busy webserver

Is anyone one system noticeably better than any other? Just curious. I'm getting ready to setup a new box running FreeBSD 9, and since I'm starting from scratch, I'm questioning all my previous assumptions. Sounds like you have ample hardware, so I would probably consider ZFS. You get a lot of other options with it which simply aren't available or harder to manage on a UFS system. Things like data integrity, ZIL/ARC, live low-cost snapshots, diff'ing the snapshot, transparent compression, etc all come with ZFS. Great tools for certain scenarios. Properly setup, ZFS RAID functionality will own any hardware raid solution ever presented because ZFS doesn't rely on a battery for consistency, nor do they provide most other features stated including integrity oriented ones. ZFS is intended to work with raw disk/JBOD. Good controllers are still important, they simply don't have the knowledge to use them at peak efficiency. I don't see much benefit to SSD's for this use case. All the common files should be in the fs cache which is at least an order of magnitude faster than flash based memory, and finding enterprise SSD's(preferably SLC) which obey FLUSH commands appropriately and have a capicitor appropriate to production use is something more of a crapshoot than traditional SATA/SAS drives. All that being said, UFS is fine too. I use it most often for light VM installs and where resources are scarce. However the 2 single biggest ZFS feature I like are the data integrity and transparent compression are wonderful which aren't available in UFS. ZFS snapshots are much more functional as well and go well w/ zfs send/receive. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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
