Not yet on FreeBSD, unless there's something I'm missing. Some work
needs to be done on the port in order to get it working.

hotspot/make/bsd/makefiles/dtrace.make only does anything if it detects
that it's running on Darwin; that'd probably be a good place to start
for anyone interested in working on this.

Hi Mark,

Noted and thanks.
The Postgresql port (9.3, not sure for 8.4/9.1/9.2) have dtrace support, which 
is very cool.

Thanks,
Patrick

We at Line Rate (now F5) are developing support for 1 Gig superpages on amd64. 
 We're basing our work on 9.1.0 for now.

An early preview is available here:

That is cool.

What type of applications can take advantage of the 1Gb page size?
And is it transparent? Or applications need to be modified?

By non-transparent do you mean explicit huge pages API which allows
them to be allocated on-demand rather than heuristically, such as was
implemented in Linux for at least 8 years (http://goo.gl/8qZX4D,

I haven't heard about it (but I hope I'm wrong :) ).


For question no 2: Yes. oO I should say superpages , large pages or huge page 
support.

Back to my questions:
1.
Transparent Superpages was in FreeBSD for a few years.

Re: Discussing ideas or wish list

2013-08-09 Thread Patrick Dung
Thanks for reply.

I am an user. I am using or thinking from the user perspective.

1) Perl version change within Major release


 Do you see the problem with having to support an ancient Perl version
 that is 13 years old? I'd suspect many modern Perl applications to not
 even work on Perl 5.8.9.

CentOS shipped Perl 5.8 in CentOS 5 series. They shipped Perl 5.10 in CentOS 6 
series.
So far I have no problem in doing the OS upgrade within the minor release.
It is because the Perl (or other packages eg. gcc/python) version is consistent 
between the OS major versions.

Let share an experience for my case.
I have installed OTRS (a great ticketing system) in FreeBSD 9.0. The Perl 
version at that time is 5.12.
For me, upgrading to FreeBSD 9.1 take some time because the Perl version at 
that time is 5.14.
OTRS depends on lots of Perl/p5 modules/packages.
This is not scalable if I need to upgrade multiple servers.


Some (crazy?) ideas:
a) Is it possible to install multiple Perl versions in the same server?
Each third party Perl packages would linked to the corresponding Perl versions?
Users have to update /usr/bin/perl to link to the desired Perl version (or 
using wrapper mechanism like /etc/mail/mail.conf).


The installed package may like these:
perl58-5.8.xxx
p5-perl58-Net-zzz

perl510-5.10.yyy
p5-perl510-Net-zzz


In this case, the user can install multiple Perl in the FreeBSD system.

b) Try to use the newest stable Perl version at the very beginning FreeBSD 
major release.
And try to maintain the Perl major version consistent within the FreeBSD minor 
release.

For example, using Perl 5.14 at FreeBSD 9.0 and Perl 5.18 for FreeBSD 10.0.

2) pkgng

 man pkg-check

  pkg check -s is used to find invalid checksums for installed packages.


I think this does not protect from the checksum and the files is being changed 
at the same time.
When using pkg_add -r, I am concerned that if the packages was being tampered.
And I have no way to verify it.

 Or how can user authenticate that the package is build by FreeBSD?

I don't think packages are signed yet, but this is permitted by the new
pkg design and will hopefully happen before too long.


Good to hear that.


3) systat
I hope systat can record statistics periodically.
Currently systat is like 'top', that is monitoring system resources in real 
time.

Thanks and regards,
Patrick Dung

 I think Perl version should be consistent in the FreeBSD 9 series.
 The change of Perl version may make user difficult to upgrade other perl
 packages due to dependency issues.

The ports tree is a rolling release  and decides what the default perl
version is, not the FreeBSD release. Let's ignore that though and take a
peek into history using FreeBSD 8 series as an example because it's
closer to EoL.

Perl 5.8.0 is officially released July 18, 2002.
Perl 5.8.9 is officially EoL on Nov 6, 2008.

FreeBSD 8.0 released Nov 25, 2009. The ports tree's default Perl version
at that point in time is Perl 5.8.9. Both Perl 5.8.9 and 5.10.1 are
available as packages at that time.

FreeBSD 8.4 released June 7, 2013. The ports tree's default Perl version
at that point in time is 5.14.2.

FreeBSD 8.4 could be the last release in the FreeBSD 8.x series. Its
estimated EoL is June 30, 2015.

Do you see the problem with having to support an ancient Perl version
that is 13 years old? I'd suspect many modern Perl applications to not
even work on Perl 5.8.9.

 I know pkgng should replaced the old package management tools in FreeBSD
 10, I hope the situation would improve.
 

After the EoL of FreeBSD 8 (estimated June 30, 2015) the old package
tools are scheduled to be removed from FreeBSD. This change will be
MFC'd back to 9-STABLE and the release at that time (perhaps
9.4-RELEASE?) will not have the old pkg_* tools. This seems a bit odd to
happen in the middle of a series because of POLA, but we can't support
the old package tools forever and FreeBSD 9.1-9.3 will have given you
plenty of opportunity to migrate to the new package format and ease the
upgrade to FreeBSD 10.x.

 2) pkgng
 I think it has checksum checking on the files in the packages.
 Could pkgng detect the packages was being tampered?

man pkg-check

  pkg check -s is used to find invalid checksums for installed packages.

 Or how can user authenticate that the package is build by FreeBSD?
 

I don't think packages are signed yet, but this is permitted by the new
pkg design and will hopefully happen before too long

Re: Discussing ideas or wish list

2013-08-09 Thread Patrick Dung
Yes, I can install lang/perl5.12.
But in that case, I can't install other perl /p5 pre-build packages (which 
depends on Perl 5.14) provided by FreeBSD, due to dependency problem.

Re: About QUOTA support in stock kernel (resent)

Hi,

I would like to know why quota is not enabled in the stock kernel..

I remembered that it is not enabled since freebsd 3.5 or freebsd 4 generation.
Now in freebsd 9.0, it still neeed a kernel rebuild.

I have heard it has performance issue (GIANT lock) about quota.

I am curious if other operating systems have this performance impact.

Could we have some workaround or need some code improvement?
For example:
Do the checking/accounting only if the specific mount point has enabled quota.
etc..

 Why is this, and can it be avoided (for mounts without quotas)?
Because system should check whether quota is enabled to do the accounting.

 
  Might be, it is reasonable to just enable it now. Unless somebody provide

 Why OpenLDAP? Why not one of the other ldap implementations available
 in the ports? In particular, do any of them already have plugins for
 use with pam?


OpenLDAP, nss_ldap, pam_ldap should be the stable.
It was around for years and most Linux distro come with it.

For Solaris, it comes with Sun Microsystems implementation of LDAP
library.

 
  BTW, I see ISC Bind, Sendmail and Amd automounter is in base.
 
 Yes, but you're asking to move a major chunk of functionality into
 the
 base from ports. That doesn't really happen very often, for lots of
 good reasons. Those reasons are often used to suggest that the
 packages you just named be moved *out* of the base system, but that's
 not much easier than moving things into it.
 
 The other issue is - well, how much use is this for ports? After all,
 most of the servers you're going to install come from ports, so if
 they don't play here, then there's not much of a win.

In the past, in my University.
There are several computer labs. They run around 200 Solaris and Linux
workstations.
I guess the total number of students in the faculty is around a
thousand.
Of course LDAP SSO comes into play.

 
  4. LVM and file systems
  As of FreeBSD 7.0, ZFS is ported.
  This is great as FreeBSD do not have LVM in the past.
 
 True, there's no volume manager per se. On the other hand, most of
 the functionality provided by a volume manager is available through
 the geom system. Frankly, geom is a lot saner than the volume
 managers
 I've dealt with.
 
  I am sure there is still room for improvement.
  For example: ZFS/UFS shrink support, native file system journaling.
 
 Um, is something wrong with gjournal? Or for that matter, soft
 updates
 (which solve the same problem that journaling does, only with lower
 overhead)? 
 
 FreeBSD is an open source, volunteer driven project. A list of nice
 to haves is cool for your personal use, but if you want to actually
 make any of them happen, then you're the best person to do
 that. Either start coding yourself, or convince somebody else to do
 it
 (and you'll find cash offers work fairly well). Even then, it may not
 make it into the base system. Being available as a port is often
 considered sufficient, or it may be that your changes aren't
 considered appropriate for some other reason, like duplicating
 functionality that already exists.

kernel panic at shutdown with freebsd 7.0 current snapshot (oct-2007)

Hi

I have ZFS (and snapshot) mounted.
Then shutdown by `shutdown -p now`.

There is the dump:

Re: can we use disk device for iscsi-target port?

2007-05-31 Thread Patrick Dung
My testing env is Vmware, the backend disks are new/empty.
Here's my testing result:

1. OpenBSD 4.1 with iscsi-target compiled (I can't find it in the
ports)
It support disk slice directly, I use /dev/sd1c.

2. NetBSD 4.0-current with iscsi-target in base OS
It support disk slice directly, I use /dev/sd1d.

3. FreeBSD 6.2 with iscsi-target port:
When the new harddisk is added. It is empty and do not have any
individual slice (only have /dev/da1).
iscsi-target cannot use /dev/da1 directly (tested yesterday)

/dev/da1c is gone in FreeBSD (since 5.0)

I have tried to create a disk slice by fdisk (/dev/da1s1 and
/dev/da1s1c is created).
But iscsi-target cannot use them directly:

can we use disk device for iscsi-target port?

2007-05-30 Thread Patrick Dung
Hi

This port is from netbsd. I have test it, It is great.
I found it seems iscsi-target has to take a file instead of disk
devicek (eg. /dev/da1) as the target.
Below is my test result:

Starting iscsi_target.
Reading configuration from `/usr/local/etc/iscsi/targets'
target0:rw:0.0.0.0/0
extent0:/dev/da1:0:10733223936

pid 896:iscsi-target.c:150: ***ERROR*** target_init() failed

It would be great if disk device can be used directly.

 Use route flush. And add your static routes again
 either by hand or with the help of /etc/rc.d/routing start

Backup problem for backup MySQL (a table 2GB)

2005-08-16 Thread Patrick Dung
Hi

We are using an old backup product which can only backup files  2GB.
Now we have a mysql file  2GB. The backup product refuse to backup
that file.

So, whats the alternatives to perform backup for this situation?
This is current idea:

Tar all the mysql directory and split into small files  2GB.

Any suggestions?

Re: Backup problem for backup MySQL (a table 2GB)

2005-08-16 Thread Patrick Dung
The main problem is money. Buying a new product needs money.

The old backup product (commercial) is scalable and is working fine
with various OS. However it is outdated and is not supported anymore
(unless we have a service agreement with the vendor of the backup
product.)

It consumes lots of space to do tar+gzip and split.
I am thinking if I could copy all mysql files to another server  (by
ftp/ssh) periodically.

Patrick

 I guess this is not applicable, but what about using other backup
 product that supports larger files?
 
 Otherwise tar(1) + gzip(1) (eventually) + split(1) seems reasonable
 solution...

mysqldump database | split -b 1900m

mysqlhotcopy database /tmp  tar czvf /tmp/db.tar /tmp  split -b

sendmail and clamav milter setting

2005-07-21 Thread Patrick Dung
Hi

I have a clamd server(antivirus server), opening TCP connection instead
of the unix domain socket.

Next, I have another separate sendmail server. Now I want to do virus
scanning.

So, should the clamav-milter daemon be on the sendmail server or the
antivirus server?

I have this configuration and this works:

Sendmail SRV -local domain socket- clamav-milter - tcp - clamd
server
(server A) (server A) (server b)

Or this is the correct one:
Sendmail SRV -tcp- clamav-milter - tcp/domain socket - clamd server
(server A) (server b) (server b)

Patrick

Feature request (pam/nss ldap, nsswitch ldap integration)

2004-10-29 Thread Patrick Dung
Hi

First of all, I know that most committers or contributors contribute
their work in their free time.
I am not asking for any promise but I just want to discuss a possible
improvement for FreeBSD.

So my suggestion is: integrate pam_ldap, nss_ldap, nsswitch support
with ldap and lookupd (ie LDAP client support) into the OS.
Perhaps by default, the ldap support is off.
It can be enabled by a switch in /etc/make.conf (like KERBEROS)

FreeBSD has the above support in the ports.
But I think it would be great if FreeBSD support LDAP out of the box.
Just like Solaris and most Linux distro.
The integration with LDAP is like the integration of OpenPAM,
OpenSSH, AMD automounter and BIND in FreeBSD.

Please express your view.
Ignore me if my suggestion has no practical use or only beneficial to a
small amount of people.

Regards
Patrick

Mount name length limit (MNAMELEN)

2004-08-05 Thread Patrick Dung
Hi

It seems that the constant is in /usr/sys/sys/mount.h.
The limit is already there since the initial import in
1995. (From 4.4BSD?)
I want to know what is the root cause preventing a
larger value.

PS: I have found some interesting links about
MNAMELEN:

From Compaq(HP) Tru64 UNIX 5.1 man pages, it seems
that Tru64 UNIX also have a restriction of 90
chars.(They also based on BSD?)
