about mbuf clusters value
Hello On Freebsd6.0-release, When I type netstat -m I see below; netstat -m 4293870790 mbufs in use 330335/65535 mbuf clusters in use (current/max) 0/6/4528 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max) 386543 KBytes allocated to network 0 requests for sfbufs denied 0 requests for sfbufs delayed 0 requests for I/O initiated by sendfile 11 calls to protocol drain routines That is, the current value of mbuf clusters is more than it's max value.

6.1 breaks the quota command in jails?
I'm used to using the hack where one has a named quota file in the host system's /etc/fstab and a (properly trimmed) link to the same file in the jail's /etc/fstab with noauto. But, on 6.1, the quota command is unable to work properly in the jailed environment for non-root users: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1009> quota Disk quotas for user wayne (uid 5147): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /usr/jails/jail3 34348 4 45000 777 0 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 419> quota quota: /usr/quotas/shell.root: Permission denied Disk quotas for user wayne (uid 5147): none [EMAIL PROTECTED] 420> sudo quota wayne Disk quotas for user wayne (uid 5147): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace / 34348 4 45000 777 0 0 I know this worked on 4.x, is there any workaround available? /\/\ \/\/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Using 'incorrect' HD geometry.
Mr J. Happy Chappy here, just noting a few observations: Jerry McAllister's and Lila's suggestions were quite right that the installer's fdisk would not affect the other partitions on the HD if it's allowed to just do its thing. Its interpretation of the geometry was entirely useful. Reinstalling (via FTP) and changing the partitions in the disklabel editor prevented the warning about using existing /dev but didn't make the fresh install boot. Had to reconfigure the boot manager (Ranish Partition Manager's smallest configuration) simply by saving it. I moved its 'active' partition from the FreeBSD slice to the win2k one, but I don't think that was what did it. As I had only done a minimal install, I tried installing the man pages from the disk and DVD drive I had initially tried to install from, and saw loads of similar read/write errors. The drive works flawlessly under windows and the disk is 'known good' as I have used it previously on other hardware. In fact; I was able to install the man pages from the same disk in another drive on the same PC: acd0: DVDR at ata1-master UDMA66 acd1: CDRW at ata1-slave UDMA33 Those drives are connected to the motherboard with a standard 40 conductor cable, not a proper 80 conductor one. I'll replace that soon and follow up to this message if it prevents the r/w errors. I'm expecting that to be the most likely cause :) Lastly (sorry for the verbosity), after the first successful run of the newly installed 6.0 and the tweak of the boot manager, when I ran the win2k installation it brought up an explorer window showing the contents of the e: virtual drive (the last one on the first HD) and a message box exclaiming that "windows had finished installing my new hardware" and the system needed to be re-booted. I did so and all's well that ends well... Xorg, nVidia drivers and KDE next.

Take a look at the output of vmstat -i. Try to move the soundcard elsewhere (other pci slot). Another thing to consider is PCI Latency Timer settings.

I have been experiencing problems with sound crackling under certain situations of disk activity for the life of this machine. It has occurred with 5.4-RELEASE, 6.0-RELEASE, and three different versions of 6.1-PRERELEASE. It's not a huge problem but I thought I'd post about this situation in case there is a known fix, and if not then offer to help try any patches to get it resolved assuming it's not my hardware being odd. First off, the relevant hardware is as follows (full dmesg attached): Athlon64 3000+ GA-K8NS Pro Motherboard (nForce3) 1.5GB RAM Sound Blaster Augidy 2 Platinum 6 PATA hard drives (varying sizes, see dmesg) Promise ATA Card (PDC20269) Originally I thought it was just when extracting archives like tar or rar which uses disk I/O and CPU power to extract them, but tonight I was just copying data between drives which I don't do very much and the problems occurred as well. So then I started doing some tests of copying an 800MB file back and forth between hard drives while playing a music file and documenting my results. My results and the hard drives are at the end of this message. I didn't test every possible combination because I realized that it probably has to do with reading from drives in general and not just extracting archives. I then did another test with md5 to test my "reading from disk" theory. When using a utility like `md5`, sound crackling occurred when using `md5` on files from the same source drives that had problems copying FROM in the below tests. In other words, copying a file from ad12 to ad0 produced heavy crackling in the below copy tests but copying the same file from ad0 to ad12 did not. When using `md5` on the file located on ad12 it makes the bad crackling noise, but once again it has no crackling problems when md5ing the same file located on ad0. Three of the drives are on the motherboard's on-board controllers. The mobo has a total of four onboard IDE channels, so each hard drive is master on it's own dedicated channel and the DVD burner has it's own channel too. The remaining three hard drives are on a Promise (PDC20269) PCI ATA card. They all have brand new proper cables and have no other problems. The same result happens with different music file types (ogg, wave, mp3) being played back from various drives. When rebuilding for 6.1-BETA4 I tried the ULE scheduler instead of the 4BSD. ULE seems to do better for video playback which had some stuttering problems before, but doesn't change this sound crackling problem when reading from hard drives. However with ULE I did experience a few seconds of freezing while trying to get out of my screensaver (just a black screen) as there was HD activity in the background as well as an earlier 5-10 second freeze while playing video from one HD at the same time another HD was decoding some files, but that's another topic. I have no special options enabled in my kernel now except for the emu_10k1 driver and atapicam. Here is a sample of the crackling when doing some of the below copy tests. A few seconds of the normal song is first, then I start the copy when the crackling kicks in...followed by a few seconds of normal playback again after it's done. It's harder to notice on the second cut but I tried a couple genres of music. Again, this is not the worst problem but I'd like to help improve it any way I can (I'm not a coder, but am very willing to test). http://www.tntpowerhost.com/mixx941/FreeBSD_sound_crackling.ogg So in short, when playing audio and reading files from hard drives, the sound has crackling noises in it. It happens when extracting archives and copying files from drive to drive with my additional drives, but reading and extracting from/to ad0 (the FreeBSD install drive) always seems to work with no crackling. It's just the additional ones now that seem to have problems when reading/copying/md5ing from them. Is this some weird hardware problem on my end? Has anyone else seen or experienced this? What can I try to help narrow down the problem if it's not a known one? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! Try to increase pcm buffersize either using kenv(1) or /boot/device.hints. # Start from 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536 # kenv hint.pcm.0.buffersize=8192 or to make it permanent, put that into /boot/device.hints Reload your sound driver. Hi, thanks for your reply. My sound is compiled into the kernel so I'm not sure how to reload the driver without rebooting. I did try the above suggestions though. When trying 32768 and 65536 the crackling in the audio got worse/louder than before when copying data. -Mark FreeBSD amd64.localhost 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #8: Wed Mar 15 12:04:40 CST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AMD643000 amd64 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]% cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm

Re: Hi there
Excellent choice; I'm still learning myself but I'll tell you between the documentation, the community and mailing lists, I'm quite amazed. 1- Is FreeBSD compatible with one tool for PHP call Zend Optimizer? According to their website, it is compatible with FreeBSD 6.0 which is the recent stable version. 2- Is it hard to configure the drivers? I haven't had experience with this and have had no issues with my software, perhaps you should check out www.freebsd.org ; supported hardware is listed there. 3- Is it compatible with Pentium 4? Yes. 4- For a Social Network Web with a lot of members what kind of computer would be the ideal to use with FreeBSD and so the periphericals are completly compatible with FreeBSD. Do you mean for a server to an online website? 5- What kind of paquets does FreeBSD to use on a server? I don't understand your question, please elaborate. Hope some of the above helps.

Re: More Server Crash Saga
Grant, That is a one unit rack mount server, which makes it prone to have heat problems, particularly under any load. You might want to check the ambient heat and the internal heat sensors as well. That server uses an intel chipset (and probably an intel motherboard) which should allow "out-of-band" monitoring. You should see what you can use to monitor the system and see what the system is reporting prior to a lockup. It may be time to just call dell and have them send a replacement MB or entire unit. -Derek At 03:47 PM 3/16/2006, Grant Peel wrote: Hi all, Still getting crashing today ...

need help
Hi. I am relatively new to FreeBSD, have been running it since 5.1. Nothing like what I experienced today had happened previously. My machine crashed and I wasn't able to boot it back, the boot processes wasn't able to find the kernel. I then booted with the 6.0 Release CD and went into the FIXIT mode. I wasn't able to mount /dev/ad0s1a (I have an IDE drive), I then tried fsck_ffs /dev/ad0s1 and the message was: CAN'T READ BLCK 128 ioctl Inappropriate ioctl for device fsck_ffs: /dev/ad0s1 can't read disk label. That machine was 6.0 p-1 (patched once) with slightly modified kernel. Is my data lost? Can anything be done still? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use supersede like this:

supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
See man dhclient.conf for more options.

You need to use supersede like this:
interface "ath0" {
supersede domain-name "yourdomain.com";
supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
See man dhclient.conf for more options.

Maybe you can find out what the actual binary is called. It is probably similar to mozilla-bin, moz-bin, etc. Actually it will be mentioned in the script but beware though that calling it directly may not work. Yes, that's a script. And a strange bug was actually in it. I've commented out some checks in it and now it works fine. So, thanks a lot for help.

No, Mozilla Suit's mail programm is named 'mozilla-mail'. It's heir by some shared code is Thunderbird (that's already explained yesterday). Thunderbird's feature of RSS-reading is the most necessary feature that caused me to use it (mozilla-mail can't read RSS-feeds). But as I understand, Thunderbird is mostly compat-ed to Firefox and some kind of moved away from Mozilla Suite project. That's why we have to do tricks to make these same-family projects do well together now. ___ Thanks for the follow up and for the clarification regarding Mozilla-mail and Thunderbird. --Duane ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

First, I added _device puc_ to my kernel config file and built and installed the new kernel. When that didn't work, I added _puc_load="YES"_ to /boot/loader and now the card shows up as puc0, but no sioX. sio0 is used by the onboard serial port and is being used with an APC SmartUPS 700. According to sio(4) man page, for single port PCI and PCCARDs use device sio and that no lines are required in /boot/device.hints. Where am I going wrong?

I run two FreeBSD 4.10 systems and access them via ssh2 from a Windows XP machine running Cygwin ssh, connecting via EVDO link. I get a whole lot of three things: 1. Spontaneous "read from remote host ... terminated; connection reset by peer." Mind, this is normal on an actual connection failure (timeout), but this one can happen while I'm actively typing something through the connection, and with no other evidence that my Internet connection (at either end) is failing.. 2. On reconnect attempt, a message saying the connection was immediately closed by the remote (FreeBSD) side. 3. Less often and frequently on my next connection attempt after #2, a "software connection abort" message. The normal sequences are (4 being successful relink) 1-4, 1-2-4, and 1-2-3-4. I think 1-2-4 and 1-4 are about equally common and 1-2-3-4 is comparatively rare.

Low perf of i386 6.0 on dell poweredge 1850 bi-Xeon 2.8ghzDualCore
Still me ;=) I do new test and have this information to add : Freebsd 6.0 with bi-xeon dual core and smp kernel is two time more slower than Freebsd 4.11 with simple bi-xeon If I configure freebsd 6.0 kernel without smp it's 1.5 faster than with. Here is a resume : The test is simple mysql multi-query php script. With freebsd 4.11 on bi-xeon it took 31 sec With freebsd 6.0 on bi-xeon dual core without smp it took 48 sec With freebsd 6.0 on bi-xeon dual core smp it took 62 sec.

I looked into the BIOS of my other system with different m/b and (better) heatsink and I get the same readings (~42). I use OCZ paste on both systems and followed their application instructions for the Athlon 64. Both heatsinks are just warm to the touch.

Interaction between mpd and ipfilter/ipnat
I have a FreeBSD firewall which does packet filtering and NAT. The internal address range is 172.16.64.0/24. The only filtering is incoming on the external NIC, fxp0. The machine also runs mpd for remote access. By pure chance I was tailing ipf.log when I connected an XP laptop to the mpd service, and immediately I saw these: Mar 16 16:57:41 inchgower ipmon[61]: 16:57:40.923619 fxp0 @0:2 b 172.16.64.168,137 -> 172.16.64.200,137 PR udp len 20 96 IN Mar 16 16:57:42 inchgower ipmon[61]: 16:57:42.425811 fxp0 @0:2 b 172.16.64.168,137 -> 172.16.64.200,137 PR udp len 20 96 IN 172.16.64.168 is the address given out by mpd to the laptop. 172.16.64.200 is the Active Directory Domain Controller. I'm confused as to why ipf is seeing these packets coming in on fxp0. Surely what comes in is the GRE packet to the external NIC's address, this is then decapsulated and the embedded packet routed on. Why does ipf even see it, let alone block it? I would expect the source interface to be ng0, not fxp0. From the laptop I can ping and connect to internal machines, so most packets are not being blocked in this way. tcpdump also sees the packets coming in on fxp0, but I'm not convinced they are. I guess I can only really tell if I get the switch to copy packets to another port and monitor from there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm fairly sure the hd is ok and it's udma66 at least. Actually I've had some success just now. There was that error message in the Alt F2 screen output saying: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG HARDWARE ERROR asc=0x08 ascq=0x03 error=0 I didn't think it was particularly important as the Alt F1 screen was saying "write failure", but I decided to try an (minimal) FTP install and it actually completed with absolutely no write errors! It doesn't boot, probably due to a warning I ignored that it was using the existing /dev (as the partition existed). I'll try it again after tea and insist on a new set of partitions, which I believe will cure that problem. I'm so happy to be getting there! Many thanks to all for the help. >What I did was to allocate an very small unused partition that >included that area and then allocated the remainder of the hd to the >slice I installed fbsd in. Hah!

If no-one here can help, maybe try an overclockers forum - just because there tends to be a lot of system building experience there. Maybe ASUS support would help (but I wouldn't hold my breath). As I said, I went for arctic silver with my heatsink, but I got to apply it to clean components and it gets a bit harder if you have to clean the thermal paste off.

RE: VPN Server
John and Hal, The company I work for has a customer that setup 4-5 sites on a vpn network with these. The 16 port unit is garbage, it uses different firmware than the lower port count units and it locks up all the time. I have had personal experience both with the Netgear VPN devices and the Cisco PIXes. The PIX are vastly superior. The Netgears have issues with doing a lot of things at the same time, and with high bandwidth. The truth is that the commercial products that play in this space are either very good, like the Cisco VPN 3000 but cost immense amounts of money because they are targeted at large enterprises, or they are really crappy because they are targeted at the very very very small offices that don't even have a server, and the companies that make them know that the small companies won't buy a network device that costs much over $300. And most of the smaller VPN hardware boxes I've seen only support peer-to-peer mode IPSec not client-server mode, despite their marketing literature. Most moderate sized organizations use Windows 2003 with dual NICs in them as VPN servers. As a result there's no market for a stable VPN server hardware box that's targeted at the 25-250 person organization. This is one area where building a VPN server on FreeBSD is definitely worth doing.

RE: System Still Freezing
System freezes are all most always (94% of the time) hardware problems. Power supply overheating, power supply voltage output falling to low, dust on motherboard causing overheating, or first signs of hard drive failure. Running mfg diagnostic will not identify these types of problems until they become close to total failure. If you want to eliminate 6.0 as cause install 4.11. That's before all the current major changes were applied. But my money is on hardware starting to fail. If I was you, I would make an backup to different hard drive of any data I did not want to lose. The warning signs are staring you straight in the face. I had this happen to me and was so frustrated over it. Once I replaced the hard drive FreeBSD was installed on the freeze ups stopped. I still am using that HD in the same box for backup storage with out any problems since.

I had RedHat 9 installed on a Dell 2650 running Apache 2, Postfix, Postgresql, Bind ... My system has a DRAC, raid, and a single processor. Actually I have 2 identical servers. One server is only for backup and lightly used and it never had a problem. The symptoms on my primary server were exactly the same. Sometimes it would seize up twice in one week. Sometimes it would run for weeks. The weird thing was that it would respond to pings. However no system services responded and the console was totally unresponsive. In frustration after not being able to figure out what was causing the problem, I decided to try FreeBSD 6 Stable. End of problem. I never figured out if it was the operating system, or an application or what. If you're desperate, you might want to try the opposite: load Linux.

If I use MySQL 5.0 I can no longer use replication. So an upgrade to MySQL 5.0 means new hardware. It's a hard sell upstairs unless the new combination offers substantial improvement. (Yes the Sparcs are old, but they run, and they run, and they run. Sometimes we forget to check on them they are so reliable, I wish my new hardware was as good). I should rephrase that, it sounds like I am complaining which I am not. We use a lot of replication to push management changes from tech support down to Radius, DNS, FTP servers running MySQL. If we install MySQL 5.0 on my new servers, we cannot use replication to my MySQL 3.23 servers, many of which are the old Sparcs. Of course any replacement for the old servers will use a newer version of MySQL, and eventually we will get all our servers running version 4.X. But by then you will be asking if anyone is running MySQL 7, and if not, why not. Also, keep in mind, if MySQL runs for months on end as a Radius backend, or DNS, or FTP.

It does not astonish me that you get 5 MB/s on a RAID-5 config, although if you used SCSI and/or a real HW RAID-5 controller with significant cache (ie, 64+ MB) that would help the performance by quite a bit. Use RAID-5 for read-only or read-mostly situations and you'll be better off; use RAID-10 for write-heavy filesystems instead. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Why should we use 5.0? We use MySQL in a production environment. We cannot spend time troubleshooting issues. When a new version has a capability we cannot live without we test, test, test, test it first, then spend much time reading forums to see what problems others have been having. We have run crippled software before because WE found the bug and had to wait for a fix. No fun delaying a production application. When the opportunity presents itself we install and test new software or new versions to help the developers move forward (we tested and ran Ruby On Rails for three months, now working with it to see if it has a place in our development environment). But we cannot do that all the time. Also we have many older pieces of hardware that cannot run a newer version because the older hardware cannot support the newer OS, which in turn is required to run the newest MySQL. The new MySQL, if not compatible with the old MySQL, does me no good. Example, we have many old Sparc boxes, still going strong, running Solaris 2.5 and MySQL 3.23. If I use MySQL 5.0 I can no longer use replication. So an upgrade to MySQL 5.0 means new hardware. It's a hard sell upstairs unless the new combination offers substantial improvement. (Yes the Sparcs are old, but they run, and they run, and they run. Sometimes we forget to check on them they are so reliable, I wish my new hardware was as good). We are looking at a package to upgrade the older Sparcs to 4.0.2, but "If it ain't broke." - Where do you get your MySQL software from? * From the MySQL web site? * From a FreeBSD CD/DVD distribution? * Package (precompiled) from the FreeBSD web site (either directly or via a mirror)? * From the ports collection? Used to be all compiled source, now we use the ports collection. - Which threading library are you using? Why? Default, because that is what the ports maintainer supports. - Have you had to change the default installation (different compile flags, different installation directories, etc.)? No, maybe optimized if needed. - Do you have any problems that you think are related to the choice of the version you're using? None, MySQL is a rock.

Re: dump level 9
Paolo Tealdi wrote: I will do a newfs on saturday afternoon, after doing some backups (also on tape). After this, if the problem persists, i'll do the pass 2, 3 and 4. In my opinion something gets damaged at filesystem level after an energy block (date are similar). I did an fsck (more times) but the problem persists : probably fsck doesn't recognise the problem. By energy block I assume you mean a power cut? It's certainly suspicious but without actually understanding what is causing the problem, hard to be sure if there is a relation. I'm struggling to understand how "ls" can show a date in 2003 for a file, while dump thinks that the inode has changed since your level 0 a few days ago. I'm no expert on the filesystem, but that's just weird. I don't see how a power cut could have done that or what problem fsck could fix It could be important to do debugging for this problem, but it's a production disk (big) and i can't "play" with it too much. Thanks a lot for your support. One more thought off the top of my head. What does ls -lsak /home/.snap show? I know there can be issues with snapshots in the 5 series and having more than one snapshot can be a bad idea. I don't think that's it because your dump -S without -L showed pretty much the same as with -L, but just in case. If you do find any snapshots (I believe dump would leave one called dump_snapshot or .dump_snapshot or something obvious if it gets interrupted (by a power failure, for example) then you can delete with rm. I don't hold out much hope but it's easier than a dump/restore). If no-one else replies here with bright ideas, you could also try posting to maybe freebsd-hackers or freebsd-fs; http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL Good luck.

Some minor performance improvements over libpthread, but combined with some tweaks in my-huge.cnf copied over to /etc/my.cnf, this can be quite a difference from a default install.
