Re: Wierd Network problem
Craig applying the patch should be easy enough.

If I can't ge the bge interface working my next best solution will be to just install another card in one of the pci slots and use that instead. Ideally, I would upgrade to 6.2 but cpanel won't support 6.2 so I'm stuck on 6.1 for the time being.

My first thought was that it must be a routing issue, but I have two other freebsd 6.1 servers on that same subnet and I can access them fine from outside. I dug a little further and compared the servers that are working with those that are not and these are the differences that I have found. On the servers that are working (dell poweredge 2450's) the interface is an fxp0 and here is the output of ifconfig: fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee1:f66a%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 64.25.218.2 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 64.25.218.127 ether 00:b0:d0:e1:f6:6a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active on the server that is not working: bge0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=1bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING inet6 fe80::211:43ff:fedc:9aa2%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 64.25.218.10 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 64.25.218.127 ether 00:11:43:dc:9a:a2 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active The first thing that i noticed is that on the option line there is quite a bit of difference between the two. So using the command line ifconfig tool I removed RXCSUM, TXCSUM from the bge0 interface. Voila! Speed increased and the server was actually accessible from off net. Unfortunately, as soon as I tried to access any other port, the interface crashes. Eventually the watchdog picks up on that and restarts the interface. But the problem is completely repeatable. The server that I am having problems with is running cpanel 10.9; the two that are working are running the dns-only version of cpanel. I am not picking up any errors in the logs. This could be related to cpanel, or not, I'm not really sure, although it shouldn't be. The other unique thing about the setup, that very well may be affecting is that the router in question has two subnets configured on the internal port. There is a nat'd subnet for our local users and there is the public subnet that these servers sit on. The final resting place for all three is in a datacenter that isn't built yet, so rather than reconfigure everything once that was done I simply routed the final subnet to our office and set it up their. The router is a mikrotik RB112 board which only has one ethernet port so I couldn't dedicate a port for the new subnet. As I said, my first thought was that the problem was in the router, but the other two servers are running fine. Any suggestions?

Re: Wierd Network problem
Yes, I could use something other than cpanel, and directadmin was actually one of my choices but unfortunately, that decision was not mine. I'm only responsible for getting the software that was chosen to work. My issue with the patch was that it was written for if_bge.c dated in March 2006 and I actually compiled a new kernel using the release from December 2006. Everything that I read about the bug said that it was fixed in the 6.2-release tree so I thought that would be ok. Tcpdumps did show massive amounts of bad chksum's from packets off of the network so it looks as though that was my issue. Not sure why it didn't work after the recompile. I ended up having to install a new card and a linksys gigabit card is working nicely now. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

If I can't ge the bge interface working my next best solution will be to just install another card in one of the pci slots and use that instead. Ideally, I would upgrade to 6.2 but cpanel won't support 6.2 so I'm stuck on 6.1 for the time being.

My first thought was that it must be a routing issue, but I have two other freebsd 6.1 servers on that same subnet and I can access them fine from outside. I dug a little further and compared the servers that are working with those that are not and these are the differences that I have found. On the servers that are working (dell poweredge 2450's) the interface is an fxp0 and here is the output of ifconfig: fxp0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=8VLAN_MTU inet6 fe80::2b0:d0ff:fee1:f66a%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 64.25.218.2 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 64.25.218.127 ether 00:b0:d0:e1:f6:6a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active on the server that is not working: bge0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=1bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING inet6 fe80::211:43ff:fedc:9aa2%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 64.25.218.10 netmask 0xff80 broadcast 64.25.218.127 ether 00:11:43:dc:9a:a2 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active The first thing that i noticed is that on the option line there is quite a bit of difference between the two. So using the command line ifconfig tool I removed RXCSUM, TXCSUM from the bge0 interface. Voila! Speed increased and the server was actually accessible from off net. Unfortunately, as soon as I tried to access any other port, the interface crashes. Eventually the watchdog picks up on that and restarts the interface. But the problem is completely repeatable. The server that I am having problems with is running cpanel 10.9; the two that are working are running the dns-only version of cpanel. I am not picking up any errors in the logs. This could be related to cpanel, or not, I'm not really sure, although it shouldn't be. The other unique thing about the setup, that very well may be affecting is that the router in question has two subnets configured on the internal port. There is a nat'd subnet for our local users and there is the public subnet that these servers sit on. The final resting place for all three is in a datacenter that isn't built yet, so rather than reconfigure everything once that was done I simply routed the final subnet to our office and set it up their.

Re: Stable many-port SATA controller recommendations
Are you seeing this same problem on both the Promise and the Silicon Image? No; with the Silicon Image I am getting the timeouts that everyone else is getting (google(freebsd sil3112 timeout). Have you tried a different brand of disk? Some combinations of controller and disk don't work correctly. With the Silicon Image I saw it with both Seagate and Maxtor. With the Promise I am not sure; might have been the Maxtor once or twice, but only the seagate when I triggered the bug on purpose (didn't try the Maxtor). If I use up a slot, I'd like at least 4 ports and NCQ. If FreeBSD doesn't have NCQ support yet I might just get a USB or FW to SATA adapter or two and wait for NCQ. NCQ is nice but I don't *really* care. I just want something that works at all :) Of course I would want NCQ if it was a performance critical production system though. And AFAIK NCQ is not yet supported in FreeBSD. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

If I use -o reserve the mdconfig command fails and if I don't then when I try and use that space FreeBSD crashes. It seems like there should be enough unused memory to create a 1gb malloc backed md. I have no swap because the only drive is a flash drive. / is mounted read only. /tmp and /var are 124mb malloc backed md devices What is the deal? Is this some tunable limit? Should I fire up memtest? See the manpage, or the archives for extensive discussion. Bottom line: you almost certain don't want to use malloc backing, but instead swap backing. Kris using: mdconfig -a -t swap -s 500m -o reserve I get: mdconfig: ioctl(/dev/mdctl): Numerical argument out of domain in fact I get the same message no matter what size I pick. I had assumed that since I don't have a swap partition setup that using a backing method called 'swap' wasn't a good idea. The issue is only using -o reserve, which will try to reserve space on the swap backing. If you absolutely have to run without swap, you will indeed have to use malloc backing with -o reserve. This is slower than swap backing, and you'll have to increase your VM_KMEM_SIZE to allocate enough extra memory to the kernel (leaving space for the rest of the kernel to operate). Recall that all the memory you allocate to your md will be unavailable for processes or the rest of the kernel, so it is a bad idea to use more than you absolutely need.

Re: Stable many-port SATA controller recommendations
If I use up a slot, I'd like at least 4 ports and NCQ. If FreeBSD doesn't have NCQ support yet I might just get a USB or FW to SATA adapter or two and wait for NCQ. NCQ is nice but I don't *really* care. I just want something that works at all :) Of course I would want NCQ if it was a performance critical production system though. And AFAIK NCQ is not yet supported in FreeBSD. Problem is that to avoid scrambled filesystems you have to put the disk's cache in write-through mode, and write performance drops 90%. NCQ should fix that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually, this is a project of mine that's been on the back burner for years now. I'd like to add a network interface for remote controls, some health checking, and test modes, but would have to incorporate an embedded processor (serial port and/or USB interfaces are just as possible). Being that I've never messed with such, any suggestions as far as a good processor to start with? It doesn't necessarily have to be a processor that will do the whole kit-n-kaboodle. Right now, I'm just looking for something I can learn the basics with. I know it's not a BSD-related question, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks WizLayer This is another approach that seems like it would be practical: Use deep cycle car batteries, trickle charge with solar panels. If a desktop computer can run on square wave generated by dc/ac converter, use that as a power backup system, It would have to have some kind of switching system to detect main power drop and switch to the backup system. Perhaps someone would be willing to, with engineering expertise put together servers that would work on laptop batteries, like a laptop. I do have one machine that has Yellow Dog linux (Mac Powerbook 3400c) that runs 24/7 as my backup DNS server.

I use this construct to get around scp transfers and the file names windoze users love to create with heaps of spaces... I would look at the code that uses this as often this type of problems results from multiple expansions of an expression. In this case the variable ifconfig_ath0 is set to ``inet 192.168.0.1 ssid my network'', but that may well be used in an `eval` or some such resulting in multple expansions. Backwhacking the double quotes might help: ifconfig_ath0='inet 192.168.0.1 ssid \my network\' One could always cheat and create a simple script to execute instead of trying to fight the quoting wars. ifconfig_ath0='/usr/local/bin/mynetwork.sh' Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.

I dont think so. So you got to recharge the external battery EXTERNALLY after power failure. What's wrong with that? Trickle-charge the battery and ride the computers from the battery at the same time... That's an uninterrupted power supply. A voltage regulator, converter, and a few filters will give you a clean, constant supply. It will last longer, and it's a lot cheaper in comparison. Actually, this is a project of mine that's been on the back burner for years now. I'd like to add a network interface for remote controls, some health checking, and test modes, but would have to incorporate an embedded processor (serial port and/or USB interfaces are just as possible). Being that I've never messed with such, any suggestions as far as a good processor to start with? It doesn't necessarily have to be a processor that will do the whole kit-n-kaboodle. Right now, I'm just looking for something I can learn the basics with. I know it's not a BSD-related question, but I figured I'd ask anyway. Thanks WizLayer This is another approach that seems like it would be practical: Use deep cycle car batteries, trickle charge with solar panels. If a desktop computer can run on square wave generated by dc/ac converter, use that as a power backup system, It would have to have some kind of switching system to detect main power drop and switch to the backup system. Perhaps someone would be willing to, with engineering expertise put together servers that would work on laptop batteries, like a laptop. I do have one machine that has Yellow Dog linux (Mac Powerbook 3400c) that runs 24/7 as my backup DNS server. JK Why settle for a square wave? It's not hard to clean that up, and besides... Wouldn't that bring mayhem and havoc on a scanner (ie, I'm pretty sure that you your screen would do very unhappy things)? LCD screen? don't know. (or a system's power supply over long term? hmmm) As far as the type of batteries, deep cycle marine batteries, whatever. It doesn't really matter except to say that some types can be fully discharged and some would be ruined on a full discharge. The health and monitoring portion of the UPS would have to be designed with those limits in mind (and, hey... That could be part of the embedded mprocessors job, too... more options). Switching power from one source to another is something that I've not had a lot of luck with, esp with sensitive stuff like a computer's power supply (touchy). On the other hand clean, dc power in a parallel circuit is as simple as it gets. Edison had a good idea after all. Look at the battery as your constant source, and work away from that. Your secondary source merely compliments the battery. So long as you use regulators for your other sources, it will stay Clean by default. :) As far as switching power sources from regular charger to something like solar panels, same concept... Don't switch from-to anything. Keep it constantly hooked up in parallel with the battery. Some simple logics could perform circuits acts for the solar panels (if sun is good and elec_co's bad , then close... however you want to hack it.) Same for dis/associating the charger. I just need someone to point me in the right direction as far as embedded mprocessors. I've googled it, and found a few hobby kits, but I'd rather hear it from someone who deals with stuff like this and can suggest a start here. I hate jumping into something only to have to unlearn in order to learn it right. WizLayer PS When I finally get this finished, I'm going to find some way of modifying the BSD license to apply it and release the whole thing to the public. One would only have to buy the parts, program, and assemble the thing... Why? Because UPS prices are a rip-off and some jerk told me I couldn't. :) -- Life is better with a BSD.

Something where i can say % cmd file_1.html ... file_N.html and output file_1.text ... file_N.text? Perhaps: lynx -dump file1.html ... file.text ...? Hm, maybe Ineed Bill Campbell's -force_html switch. Yes, seems that way. USing just -dump got most of them, but using the -force_html caught all. Need to script something to reformat, but the worst of it's done! Also, if using Mozilla (so, I would assume, Firefox) the 'Save Page As' dialog offers a picklist for 'Files of Type' that includes 'Text Files'. This does a pretty decent job of producing text from HTML files, and is quicker than firing up lynx (or links) if you're already viewing a page.
