I haven't seen any timeout message in long time but I experience frozen network (and also the already reported panic when doing ifconfig down/up then). I have also seen strange problem which may be completely unrelated: When doing 'find . -ls' on SMB mounted drive - find was spitting the contents of the drive but never finishes. Network seemed dead but when I interrupted find with Ctrl-C I got the replies to the pings sent when it was running (e.g. thousands ms) - this looks like something was preventing RX to work and the packets were just queued somewhere. I belive I should be able to easily reproduce it. genius# vmstat -i interrupt total rate irq0: clk 43784465 1000 irq1: atkbd0 66248 1 irq5: pcm0 5877 0 irq8: rtc5603682128 irq9: acpi0 8820 0 irq11: fwohci0 em*205749 4 irq12: psm0 586848 13 irq14: ata0 340844 7 irq15: ata1 61 0 Total 50602594 1155 I don't think I remember debug.mpsafenet tunable being mentioned in the threads about the problems.

Well, you could find (or hire) someone to fix the driver in 6.x, which would save you the cost of re-deploying hardware.

This is a real no-BS production application that has hundreds of deployed instances, and it is in no way "obsolete" or something I intend to stop supporting. I know serial I/O is passe for many, but some of us have applications that actually require it, and can't rationally be moved to anything else due to external hardware considerations. I do serial I/O a bit. I use USB to RS232 and USB to RS485/RS422 devices. There are a bunch of vendors, they are cheap and seem to work well. I have also seen (but not used) 4 port versions of these things, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could find an eight port version as well.

I don't know what you guys are doing right, but it doesn't work right for me on $ uname -srm FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE amd64 I do get some results: this is the console when it's connected: ugen1: American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 750 FW:651.12.I USB FW:7.3, rev 1.10/0.06, addr 6 I find that apcaccess gives much less info from the USB port than it does from the RS232 port (on the same hardware) and apctest (which I want to use to set eprom values) doesn't work at all. This is very irritating, as I'd like to use my only serial port for a remote console. For now, I've gone back to using the serial port. But I'd love the USB to work fully.

Serial-via-USB might, and I will look into that, but I suspect I'm going to get in trouble with that one, especially if I have to toggle control signals (e.g. DTR, etc) or support hardware flow control (and for the fax servers, you DO need it if you expect things to work correctly.) I have used USB-to-serial converters with no problem. All the control signals (at least the ones my applications need) seem to work correctly. I don't remember any brands or models off hand, I bought what was cheap as I needed them and they all worked. "Cheap" means under $20 delivered (for one port). FreeBSD's USB support has always been somewhat deficient. For example, apcupsd can't talk to their UPSs over the USB bus, even though the software itself knows how, because FreeBSD doesn't know what a UPS is and throws up its hands when you plug it in. I wasn't aware that the USB to Serial converters would work - I can try them, but there are a lot of those out there that don't work right even under Windows - expecting them to under FreeBSD might be asking too much. I've had no problem getting them to work in FreeBSD. I've had some trouble getting them to work in WIndows. YMMV, but they are so dirt cheap that the time it takes to test one will likely be more significant than the cost of the device. "man uplcom" will give you an idea of what chipsets to look for, although determining the chipset in one of those things is frequently impossible. The uvscom driver seems to support another chipset, but none of my devices use it so I don't know how well it works. At the moment I can't tell you what version of FreeBSD I'm using these under, probably 5.3, maybe 6.0.

Two things: 1. Fax servers running traditional fax modems. There's a HUGE installed base of fax modems that run on POTS lines and there's simply no justification for moving to something like a channelized T1 system for people who need a half-dozen ports (but not 20+!) 2. Embedded control systems. There is some hardware either is RS232 or, for "floor automation" type stuff, is RS-422/485. The latter is easily converted to using a little dongle, but it requires a 232 port on the computer end Both of these applications are timing critical or they don't work at all. Much of the latter hardware is still only available in a serial interface, no matter the cost. It is not high-data-rate by any means (typically 4800 or 9600 bps) but it is what it is. Serial over IP will not work for either. Serial-via-USB might, and I will look into that, but I suspect I'm going to get in trouble with that one, especially if I have to toggle control signals (e.g. DTR, etc) or support hardware flow control (and for the fax servers, you DO need it if you expect things to work correctly.) FreeBSD's USB support has always been somewhat deficient. For example, apcupsd can't talk to their UPSs over the USB bus, even though the software itself knows how, because FreeBSD doesn't know what a UPS is and throws up its hands when you plug it in. I wasn't aware that the USB to Serial converters would work - I can try them, but there are a lot of those out there that don't work right even under Windows - expecting them to under FreeBSD might be asking too much. The problem that is nailing me particularly hard right now is the second one - I have embedded control systems that I speak to over a RS-232 interface (the devices are actually '485 on a common bus but talked to via a 232/485 converter) and it simply does not work on 6.x using the Comtrol driver at all. 100ms delays and the like are one thing - we're talking about delays in characters reaching the application of one second or more, and in some cases either characters or entire (e.g. a burst of characters) are being When you're trying to manage a synchronous polling protocol this sort of error makes the software on the other end throw up in a really ugly way, since it looks like there's a fault in the equipment on the other end or the wire has been compromised. With FreeBSD 5.x being EOL'd this is now turning into a critical problem. I can't in good conscience put packages out there that have been EOL'd nor offer meaningful support on them. While 5.4 has been reasonably stable for some time, that is now declared a "dead" release. 5.5 is similarly on that road.

I don't mind the $500 cards (the $1500 ones are another matter!) I very much mind that it appears I can't find a board on the market today that works! For FreeBSD to not differentiate between hardware in their lists that is actually deliverable today and that which is historical is problematic when one tries to go shopping. If you look at the current "serial hardware" list you will see a LOT of stuff that simply isn't made any more - and very little that is. I gave up on Specialix a number of years ago after similar problems showed up in some of their drivers for a different OS and they were unwilling to fix them. Digi has always been pretty solid, but they are passe' now and while I have a nice stock of ISA interface cards, finding motherboards with ISA slots is rapidly becoming impossible. Among the PCI cards only Comtrol appears to be really "in the market" with anything current, and driver support in FreeBSD doesn't ex

This is in no way flame-bait, nor does it have any negative implications -- as a fellow SA I'm just curious. What exactly are you using serial cards for in this day and age? A serial console server (a la Cyclades TS)? Or is there something that's more mission-critical (for lack-of better term). I guess my question is: what are you using these cards for, and can whatever the goal is be accomplished by some alternate hardware (serial-via-USB adaptors/hubs, serial-over-IP, etc.)? BTW -- I completely agree with you about the cost of these cards, especially so in 2006. There is absolutely no justified explanation for such a card costing US$1500, or even US$500. These are ICs and basic PCBs that at most cost US$20 per device -- the profit mark-up is appalling. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networkinghttp://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

You shouldn't be using dd for this kind-of test at all. I should also note that bs=1M is not the same thing as obs=1M ibs=1M. dd's weird like that (someone can explain it, I'm sure -- I've seen it discussed in the pasT). scp is an ""acceptable"" real-life test (not the best, but it's legitimate), and you only did it from antsrv1 --> antsrv2, not the other direction. It's really too bad the OpenBSD guys refuse to incorporate the HP (high-performance) patches into OpenSSH, and being able to say "-c none" would *really* help when it comes to benchmarking network I/O via scp (in our case, we do dump over ssh across a segregated private LAN -- the encryption overhead slows our backups down to a crawl, and is worthless in our environment since as I said, segregated private LAN...) That said: I have seen cases where network peformance on BSD works fantastic uni-directionally -- for example, using FTP to "get" a file from a FreeBSD box on a 100mbit LAN results in a speed of about 300-400kbit/sec, while doing a "put" to the same box results in 90mbit/sec. The problem in that case turned out to be duplex-related. Both boxes were auto-negotiating with the Cisco switch correctly, and indeed the Cisco labelled them as auto-100/full, but as anyone who is familiar with Ciscos knows, auto-negotiation on Catalysts is far from reliable. Both boxes reported auto-neg and being at 100/full as well. I ended up hard-setting the boxes to use 100/full, and set the switch ports to 100/full, then rebooted both boxes (yes, this is sometimes required, as driver auto-neg code is a bit tweaky); voila, problem fixed. If you can connect these two boxes directly via a crossover cable, and you still see the problems, then yes, there's something definitely amiss that needs investigating. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networkinghttp://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Recommendations for a serial port card you can actually BUY?
Hi folks; Ok, one of my pet peeves is coming around to bite me again. I filed [kern/103137: Rocketport driver is broken in 6.x] a few weeks ago after fruitlessly trying to get the Comtrol Rocketport driver to actually behave under 6.x. Its fine under 5.x, but under 6.x it fails badly, either radically delaying input characters or in some cases sending multiple copies upstream to the application (!) The misbehavior is grossly increased by doing such horiffic things as using select(2) and poll(2) on an I/O stream associated with a port. My original posting here drew an "unofficial" patch that did not improve things at all. Barf. Ok, so that card is no longer supported (even though it is listed as supported! I've heard nothing about the listing of it being "supported" being removed from the hardware list, and according to the web version, it still there! Supported it ain't when it doesn't work at all!) So what do I buy to replace this thing? Well, looking at the serial hardware claimed supported, I seem to have a problem finding anything I can actually purchase! I don't need real high performance - a "16550" based multiport card is fine. I also don't want a $1500 solution - this isn't a $1500 problem. $500 seems reasonable. The Rocketport 550 looked promising, as its just a bunch of 16550s on the PCI bus, and so should work. Guess what? Comtrol EOL'd the entire 550 line several months ago. They are now "unobtanium", and their "replacements" are all smart cards - which gets me right back where I started! I can't find any evidence that any of the other 4 or 8-port versions claimed to work under the puc() driver are actually in production either - I've been unable to find any of THOSE for sale online or otherwise. I have several Digiboards, and the Digi driver worked last time I looked at it (back in the 5.x days), but they're ISA. Useless in today's machines which are increasingly ISA-slot devoid (including all of my present line of servers!) So. I have an application that requires six serial ports, and would like ten. 5.x FreeBSD versions are being EOL'd per the announcement, forcing me to move to 6.x. The Comtrol driver for the "Smart" Rocketport boards is broken in 6.x, and the PR appears to be one that will sit and rot. What options do I have in the FreeBSD universe here guys? This is a real no-BS production application that has hundreds of deployed instances, and it is in no way "obsolete" or something I intend to stop supporting. I know serial I/O is passe for many, but some of us have applications that actually require it, and can't rationally be moved to anything else due to external hardware considerations. -- -- Karl Denninger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.netMy home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://genesis3.blogspot.comMusings Of A Sentient Mind ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: ffs snapshot lockup

Could you log in on console, or do something at the shell prompt on console ? Console was non-responsive. This time dump locked doing /usr so pretty much anything you try to run will block. When the lockup happens when dump is running on my home dir (/u/yertle1) partition, as long as you don't need that partition you can log in and run any programs you like. I have a service account whose home dir is in / var and was able to login that time to that account. No such luck this time since any activity pretty much uses /usr. Ping was responding (our monitoring didn't complain it was down). The only thing I could do was break to debugger on the console.
Re: western digital mybook (external usb drive, 250gb) takes 15 minutes to be recognized
hi roland, i formatted the disk and created a single bsd slice, but no luck. it's interesting to hear that the mybook 500gb version works fine, as well as freebsd releng6 from sep.19. i'm going to hook mine up someplace else on the network, so i'm not going to compile a new kernel with the CAMDEBUG option. thanks again for you suggestions and help! brian On 10/1/06, Roland Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Sun, Oct 01, 2006 at 12:32:06AM +0200, Brian King wrote: > >I've got an external harddrive with a WD disk.

Could you test if it makes a difference if there are BSD slices on it? Otherwisw check the partition table with fdisk to see if the partition table is OK. According to §7.3 of "The design and implementation of the FreeBSD operating system" attach operations for da devices are handled in the "CAM peripheral layer", one ot the three layers in the CAM subsystem. It might be usefull to build a kernel with the CAM driver built-in complete with the CAMDEBUG option, see cam(4). You can then use camcontrol(8) to enable debugging options, e.g. CAM_DEBUG_CDB.

Start system with 'downed' carp interfaces
Hello, I'm looking for a generic way to create and configure carp interfaces upon boot (so daemons can bind against the IP address), but keep the carp interfaces 'down'. This is to allow the administrator to first check every service after the failure, and if deemed ready, put the system back into production by simply issuing: ifconfig carp0 up But there are several problems: ifconfig_carp0="foo bar" will always "up" the interface first via /etc/rc.d/netif ifconfig carp0 foo bar down will ignore the 'down' and up the interface. This is especially announing. I wish ifconfig would honour the down statement, even though the manpage says the interface will always be brought up when assigned its first address. Using a start_if.carp0 with the following contents ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 1.2.3.4/24 ifconfig carp0 down and ifconfig_carp0="down" in rc.conf will result in an 'up' interface. I also disabled devd, as it seems to be running pccard_ether carp0 start as a result of the interface creation. Although it is started sometime after the interface has been created. How are other people handling the startup of carp interfaces?

Is jemalloc going to make its way into RELENG_6?
Judging from my tests (allocating numerous small objects, then freeing the memory) it looks like the bottleneck is in free(). I've built a different libc library with the malloc.c and tree.h taken from HEAD and it now behaves nicely. I haven't seen any bad side effects on this machine (it's the lappie I do most of my work on, I run KDE, seamonkey, mplayer, openoffice, the like) since I switched to the new libc. Another nice solution would be to ship the modified libc in base so the people who really need jemalloc can relink to it via libmap.conf. -- If it's there, and you can see it, it's real. If it's not there, and you can see it, it's virtual. If it's there, and you can't see it, it's transparent. If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased it. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Could you log in on console, or do something at the shell prompt on console ? Also, did the system respond to the pings ? Fs-related deadlocks (as well as stalled disk io) usually do not prevent lowest levels of the isr/network stack from working. Again, I do not see the fs deadlock per se in the supplied script. Dump does disk io, it seems that nfsd tries to serve some request. Sshd looks to be ready to accept connections. If console is available, but ping responses not arrive, this is definitely network card problem. pgpzVHIESJM7W.pgp Description: PGP signature
