Cool 'n quiet and other AMD stuff
Two questions related to AMD motherboards and drivers. 1) Is the AMD Cool 'n quiet feature (PowerNow) feature supported while running i386 FBSD on this AMD64 processor? (Assuming MB support). 2) Does anyone have experience with whether the K8M800 (includes unichrome graphics) is supported in i386 - it does not appear to be supported in AMD64 FBSD. It seems to be quite a different animal from the K8t800 whch apppears to have solid support. Thanks, Graham/ -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.

More GVINUM
Hi guys, I've only just subscribed but I notice gvinum seems to get a fair bit of traffic so I'll try to keep this brief :) I noticed that several plexes on a system where I setup a everything on gvinum system are down (the subdisks are marked as stale), The drive itself is up and I wondered if anyone who has repaired this before knows the correct procedure to fix this? I'm sure it's just something similar to drop into single user mode put them down and bring them up again but I've had problems with GVINUM in the past giving me sporadic kernel panics (often if I did somethling like build a system, erase the config, use dd to zero the disks then put another one on without rebooting) however, better safe than sorry...

Complete hangs while extracting source
My entire system stops completely while unpacking large tar files, like when building OpenOffice2.0-devel. Sound goes into a loop with a timeframe of 0.001 seconds, mouse pointer stops responding, everything goes to a halt. This lasts about 0.5 seconds, then it starts working again, and then halts again and so on, until the tarfile is completely uncompressed. Is this expected behaviour? Is it a broken scheduler?

Which MySQL version best to use and with/without linux threads?
Hi, I've got a MySQL 4.0.16 DB running with several DB instances in it. So far, so good, but I'm looking for a bit of advice. I've got a few small questions: Firstly: is it (for a webserver) better to compile MySQL with linux-threads or without? I seem to recall having read that Linux uses a better threading mechanism, and that MySQL really benefits from this... What do you all think? Then, I'm currently configuring a second beast, ee, server. :) Being an AMD-64 19 server, running FreeBSD 5.4-Release AMD64. On it, I instinctively installed the latest MySQL 4.0.x version (being 4.0.26) and it works flawlessly with the data from my current production machine. Still so far, so good. :) However... I was wondering what the advantages (and potential disadvantages!) may be of using a newer line of the MySQL DB. Can anyone tell me what the advantages/pitfalls may be of using v4.1.x or even v5, over using 4.0.x ? A year or two ago I installed a 4.1.x version and there were some issues then with using the passwords, coming from a 3.23.x or 4.0.x one. I don't remember the details, but it had something to do with that... Any advice is more than welcome, as this is the moment for me to make this sort of decicion, and I'd like to do so based on real user's experiences...:) Thank you kindly in advance, and with kind regards, Olaf Greve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't remember the details, but it had something to do with that... Any advice is more than welcome, as this is the moment for me to make this sort of decicion, and I'd like to do so based on real user's experiences...:) Thank you kindly in advance, and with kind regards, Olaf Greve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm not a very experienced MySQL user, but in the absence of a better reply, here it goes. linuxthreads were only important on FreeBSD 4.x. Starting with 5.x we have a more efficient threading model. Extensive testing did not reveal any significant performance increase with MySQL compiled with linuxthreads on FreeBSD 5.x. You'd better forget about linuxthreads for good. As for the MySQL version (branch) - the only difference you should care about is feature set. If you feel comfortable without triggers and stored procedures (their absence makes many professional MSSQL/Oracle/Postgres users frown upon MySQL) you shouldn't be looking at MySQL 5.0 for at least another half a year. As for 4.1/4.0 - you should probably stick to 4.0 on your mission-critical servers, but certainly try 4.1 on your production, but not so critical servers.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

FreeBSD5.4-Release reboots under disk load - where to start troubleshooting?
Hi all, Long time reader - first time poster. ~ Short version of the questions: Troubleshooting unlogged resets in FreeBSD5.4 - suggestions? Is 4.11 a better choice for systems that have shown instability under 5.4? ~ Long rambling versions: My system worked flawlessly under Fedora Core 3 and 4, but I have been recently impressed with the stability and performance of FreeBSD on two of my older servers (both 5.x) at home. One of them is at almost eight months of uptime, and the last reset was a power outage! Anyhow my problem system ran fine under minimal load for a week. Using ports to install Enlightenment, Samba, Evolution - no issues. Copying about 20GB of MP3 to a Samba share caused the system to reboot. Nothing listed in the system logs, no heat/power problems in the BIOS and nothing funny (other than a fsck) when it started up again. This error repeated when using Pan to snag a bunch of binary files from a newsreader. One minute everything is fine - then black screen and reboot. Unfortunately this failure mangled the root partition, and I was not skilled enough to recover the data. I have run memtest and a SMART disk health utility against the system no errors The system ran Fedora fine for about a year before the switch to BSD. Last night I installed 5.4 again and installed nothing by a program called dvdbackup using the ports collection. First time I tried to backup a DVD, the same symptom. Tonight I will try FreeBSD4.11, but if I see the same issue I may have to return to the Linux installs of my past (sigh). ~ Thank you for your insight, Jim Gorski jim (@t) jimgorski (dt) com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check the console when your system crashes (or if you are in X, try to provoke it by doing equivalent stuff while not in X). True spontaneous reboots are rare, but are usually caused by failing or marginal hardware unable to keep up with the demands places upon it. This would be consistent with it only happening under load. If you're hitting a bug in FreeBSD, you'll probably see a panic on the console when it happens.

In your case, I'd recommend going through the install as normal,
except designate one of the two drives as your /home. I'm not sure
what you mean by linking *both* of the drives (it doesn't work that
way); just setting one of the other big drives as the /home
mountpoint should do the trick.

Re: Mounting ext3 problem
ext3 is compatible w/ext2 when the dirty bit is not set. When it is set (one common reason is the filesystem not being correctly unmounted), journal rollback is necessary which only ext3 can handle. thats why running fsck_ext2fs on the partition should take care of the issues. it doesn't mean your partition is actually dirty, its just that freebsd doesn't (usually) attempt to mount partitions that were incorrectly unmounted.

It seems that it affects SMP systems under high load. How much do other OSes suffer from this? -Original Message- From: Kris Kennaway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 30, 2005 4:46 PM To: Ansar Mohammed Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: BGL On Thu, Sep 29, 2005 at 10:09:17PM -0400, Ansar Mohammed wrote: Is the kernel locking issue with FreeBSD 4.x sorted out in 5.x? I can't seem to get a proper answer. Perhaps because the above isn't a proper question? Yes, the BGL was pushed down a lot in FreeBSD 5. It still covers some parts of the kernel (less in 6), so if can be more precise about a specific locking issue then perhaps we can give a more precise answer.

Shuttle SN25P - AMD64 X2 processor NVIDIA4 chip set - supportable?
Hi, I've got a Shuttle SN25P on order and would like to install FreeBSD onto it. The architecture is AMD64 with an X2 processor and nVIDIA 4 chip set. Is it supportable under the AMD64 version of FreeBSD? I can't see anything listed on the Hardware Database for any motherboards from Shuttle: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html If it turns out that the answer for FreeBSD is no way - does anyone know of a Linux distribution that will support my hardware?
