ipnat

[alexus]

hi

i cant figure something out, maybe someone can help me...

i have two interfaces on my 7.0-RELEASE-p1 dc0 and fxp0, dc0 has
public IP, and fxp0 is internal, my ipnat.rules looks like this

map dc0 192.168.2.0/24 -> 0/32

su-3.2# ipnat -l
List of active MAP/Redirect filters:
map dc0 192.168.2.0/24 -> 0.0.0.0/32

List of active sessions:
su-3.2#

NAT on 192.168.2.0/24 doesn't seem to be working at all :(

While it is true that the maximum theoretical transfer speed available
from SATA (150MB/s or 300MB/s depending on SATA version) exceeds that
of a normal PCI bus (133MB/s for a standard 32bit/33MHz bus), there
is currently no single SATA disk available on the market that will
swamp the PCI bus.
USB 2.0 is however much slower than either of SATA and PCI.
USB 2.0 has a maximum theoretical transfer speed of 480Mbit/s ( = 60MB/s)
with a practical maximum of maybe 30-40 MB/s - less than half of either PCI
or SATA.

It is unlikely that a PCI-based SATA card would be a noticable bottleneck
in this case unless one were to connect several high-speed disks to the
card.

USB however would be a quite noticable bottleneck.  Bad idea if you want
anything resembling speed.

I had a similar problem with my card reader. AFAIU the problem with
those is that they don't report media change events; the system gets to
know what's there only when it tries to access it, one way or the other.
This might be of help both to you and to the OP:

Try downloading the binary packages for 7.0 that you need and install 
them.  That would be fastest.


FreeBSD doesn't claim to maintain binary (library?) compatibility across 
major releases.  I personally have never had a problem, but I consider 
that dumb luck.

You're trying with your devfs stuff to create the file, but you have to realize
it's a device representing a filesystem, not just a file.  What you want to read
is the mount and fstab man pages, mount to find out how to mount your memory
stick, and fstab to figure out how to get it to happen automatically.  The devfs
stuff is all mistaken, I think, you want that when you want to change
permissions or make softlinks of devices, not to create them in the first place,
 least that's how I';'ve always used it, and I know very well that the correct
line in /etc/fstab WILL automount your memory stick.



Are you sure Chuck? The devfs rules stuff is to allow non-root users to
mount removable media isn't it? I followed the instructions at
http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html - the
FreeBSD-specific stuff is near the bottom of the page - but I have
*exactly* the same problem as the OP with my mobile phone.

It is detected as da2 and da3 (phone and memory stick - mine's a SCSI
system so da0 and da1 are the HDDs) but only the top-level device nodes
(/dev/da[23]) are created.

I can try to mount /dev/da3 until I'm blue in the face and it always
fails but as soon as I attempt to mount /dev/da3s1 it fails first time
but succeeds the second time because the /dev/da3s1 device node gets
created on the first (failed) mount attempt.

It doesn't matter whether I have an entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/da3s1
or not, it stills fails, but creates the device, on the first attempt.

Maybe something has changed? The page I linked to above refers to
FreeBSD 5 but I'm running 6.3-STABLE.

I've got a nVidia card on a FreeBSD-7/amd64 system, and so the
only driver I can use is the xorg-nvidia driver. The driver from the
nVidia is not an option for me. If you have an i386 system, the
driver from nVidia is *MUCH* faster than the xorg driver. Queries to
nVidia about the possiblity of an amd64 compatibile driver led me
to the kernel-feature list that they would like to have before being
able to release a driver form amd64 hosts.

HTH.

cvsup RELENG_6_3 to RELENG_7 impaired gnome

[KAYVEN RIESE]

I am feeling nuked from the freeBSD community right now and
I was trying to appropriately post to the gnome list but oh
well.  I don't have time for the continued bugs in my system,
I have _GOT_ to get this running pronto.  The subscription
to the gnome list seems to be hanging or lagging and my
paranoia meter says that some people are doing this because
crimeny the gnome list should have sent me at least 50 emails
by now.

Anyway.  To my stupid question that is probably too stupid
for hackers, but I am not subscribed to questions either I
just can't tolerate that in my time frames It is hard enough
letting the other lists go by.  Oh.  I should have tried to
subscribe to that but I am under the.. GGGH fine. If I
don't get that subscription notice by the time I finish this
then I'm sending it.  I suspect the composition should take
a reasonable amount of time for that to happen.

I did cvsup with the standard-supfile but I guess I used the
one from freeBSD 6.2 and I thought it would be kosher to change
the bit that said "RELENG_6_2" to "RELENG_7" so that's what I
did.  I used the ftp4.freebsd.org mirror and I did a cvsup.
Then I did cvsup with the ports-supfile but that one had
cvsup4.freebsd.org in it, so after that I was OMG and I changed
the ftp4.freebsd.org in the standard-supfile and redid that
cvsup.

Anyway. THen I started following instructions in /usr/src/Makefile.
My current professor runs FreeBSD and he suggested that method.
It looks pretty similar to stuff I have seen elsewhwere, plus
it was part of what cvsup slurped up that was supposed to be
specific to my version, right?  Anyway, here are the steps:

  IMPROVISATION: I did mergemaster -p here oops. (see below)
  make buildworld
/ make buildkernel
   make kernel <-| substituted for-<  make installkernel

 reboot -s  .. okay.  This is where I guess I am basic?  I
 don't think I used the loader prompt, I didn't use reboot -s
 hmm.. that probably would have been a good thing to type
 after #  I guess I am really stupid.  I did shutdown -r now
 and when the devil came up I pressed "4"  Then I typed
 "mount -a" and then..

 mergemaster -p and that is a ball of wax depicted here:

  http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inst_world/index.vhtml
 The same thing happened the first time I did mergemaster -p
 tells my spidey sense "oh oh."

  Anyway.   Then I did make installworld and had a bad thing
  something about "make doesn't get it" but I fixed that by
  googling it.  Oh here it is:
  http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/inst_world/p5240176.vhtml
  anyway, don't worry too much about that I fixed it by doing:
  /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster/mergemaster.sh -p  and had the
  same trials and tribulation of hitting 1000 space bars at the
  right time with intercelated 1000 return keys (actually maybe
  more like 300 space bars and 200 return keys) and then, saints
  be praised, make installworld did some presumably nice things
  so then I did:

   make delete-old

   like /usr/src/Makefile said and OMFG I had to hit "y" 200 times
   now.

   mergemaster -U

   300 more space bars 200 more return keys

  make delete-old-libs

  and now I have provided some pictures of what happens when I try
  to start up.  I get to the devil and then it looks like

  http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/fb7/p5250001.vhtml

  I broke my gnome and my nessus which is the thing I absolute
need  pronto!  I am not trying to be demanding I am just informing
everybody that I am under pressure here and I have no idea what to
google at this point.

SATA is faster than PCI.  Most people would replace the motherboard
or use a USB 2.0 card which has a far faster transfer speed than
PCI does as a transition, with the expectation that sooner or
later they are going to replace the system.

In automotive terms your adding a free-flow exhaust to a restricted
engine - in the trade we call them adding a "fart can" because
they do nothing to help the car go faster since there's restrictions
further up the chain.

Go buy an inexpensive USB 2.0 external disk case, then buy your
SATA disk and stick it inside of that, with the idea that eventually
your going to get a faster machine you might be able to use the disk in.

That article says:

"While the following is focused on the NVIDIA FreeBSD graphics drivers,
we believe the interfaces discussed below are generally applicable to
any modern high performance graphics driver."

Aside from the amd64 specific issues, it's doesn't seem to imply that
NVIDIA cards are particularly disadvantaged, just that NVIDIA are the
only company to make an effort with FreeBSD.

The xorg nv driver is certainly poor, but is there any reason to
believe that the nvidia driver is inferior to drivers for other
graphics cards. I've never heard any great claims for their 3d
performance.

'Scuse me, I'm not personally very familiar (yet) with 3D graphics, but I'm
reading OpenGL (I bought the SuperBible) and I'm quite well along in writing my
driver for a cheapy graphics tablet, to get me along with Gimp.  So, could you
tell me, are your comments about the Nvidia card driver performance dealing with
the Nvidia-supplied driver and OpenGL libs they have, as expressed in the
FreeBSD-ports supplied (from Nvidia code) Nvidia driver??  I have them compiled
under FreeBSD-current, because a friend recommended them as the best available,
is that wrong?  Is there better?  I am not aware of any pure-public driver for
those cards, but I just am not very well up on their details, so I want to be
sure of your meaning, making sure I have you right here..

BTW, my card is a Nvidia-compatible (licensed) GeForce 8600 GTS card, if that
means anything to you.  If you think the ATI cards (using FreeBSD available
drivers) are better, let me have that one more time please, there is very little
on the net from even slightly reliable sources on this, so I would guess you
have a attentive audience here.

non-RAID SATA

[perryh]

I am looking for a cost-effective way to add a SATA drive to an
existing 7.0 system whose on-board controller is PATA, and am not
getting very far at all in identifying an inexpensive controller
which would be expected to work well.  (I'd prefer PCI, since the
USB in this box is probably 1.0 and not capable of sustaining
desirable data rates.)

All mentions of SATA in the hardware guide and FAQ seem to be of
RAID controllers, or else too generic to guide a choice of add-in
cards.

Does anyone have any experience with this that they would be
inclined to share?

Heh. I was just thinking about going the other way. One of the main
problems with the nVidia on X is that the xorg-nvidia driver is very
basic; this can be demonstrated by going to a Javascript heavy page (eg
http://www.xwiki.org) using firefox. The X-server just slows to crawl
when trying to scroll the site. The behaviour is not exhibited with
xorg-intel driver, as a counter-example.

Support for the nVidia on FreeBSD from the vendor is also incomplete:
  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2006-June/016995.html
The feature request from nVidia appears to have stalled for the time
being (more correctly: I couldn't locate news on any updates to on the
'Net).

In short, nVidia cards are usable, but performance can be exceptionally
bad.

Cheers.

I'm looking on eBay and an FX5x00 card seems to fit the bill.

Best nVidia card for Xorg on FreeBSD?

1x Additional Dual Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 7130M, 3.2GHz, 8MB L3

Slow FSB. I suppose they hope you hit the cache. Shouldn't matter
because your server is more likely to be disk bound rather than bus

Slow memory, to match the slow FSB :) But you've got >250MB per hit.
So use the excess to cache frequently accessed content.

We have the PERC 4e/Di and that works wonderfully (256 MB battery backed 
cache). One hint is that the PERC 4e/Di (and possibly the entire series) 
does not do correct RAID 1 + 0 (mirrored then striped) but instead does 
RAID 1 and concatenates those mirrors.








Chassis with support for 3.5'' SCSI Hard Drives

Dell Remote Access Card 4 SERVER MANAGEMENT CARD

Don't know if this will work. Most guys use a serial console/ssh for
management.


(I will have hot swappable drives & chassis)


Get it if your server is going to be remote.
It lets you mount CD-ROM disks and ISOs, Floppy images and gives you 
real keyboard/mouse/video display of the server. It also lets you power 
up/down/reboot the server remotely. A necessity to do firmware/BIOS 
upgrades. Serial console/ssh only lets you work with an already working 
system. The DRAC lets you do remote installs/reinstall/upgrades.





Thank you in advance.

The performance of this hardware will depend on what *sort* of hits
you get. Are a lot of them just for the homepage? Then just cache it.

Is it static content?



*No, its dynamic contents, data is coming form Database.*



If you're getting lots of ad-hoc database queries and fetches/writes
from/to disk, then your disks could get a thrashing.

How big's your database? Being read from more than written to? How
precious is the data?


*More than 20 million records and more than 1000 Tables.*
*And of course, data is always preciouse. :)*


How many of these hits are reading video ads? All of them? How many
KBs are these awful ads?


*50% of users are going to see the Video Ads.*
**
*Size would vary between 100KB to 2MB. *

What bandwidth do you have to these servers?
*100 Mbps*

How you are going to get the best out of your hardware depends on
questions like these, so you have to analyse your Apache logs and tune
appropriately.

Tuning Apache, mysql and PHP are all subjects in their own right.

For FreeBSD, read tuning(7).

Are you running FreeBSD ATM? Then some numbers from iostat, top etc.
would be useful in analysing how your new server is going to cope and
how much spare capacity you'll have, but the numbers are dependent on
how you've tuned it (if at all).

Hope I've given you something to think about.

Non aligned DMA transfer errors with k3b

[Mike Clarke]

Suddenly today all my attempts to burn DVDs with k3b result in a 
continuous stream of the following error messages.

May 25 18:04:40 kestrel kernel: ata1: FAILURE - non aligned DMA transfer 
attempted
May 25 18:04:40 kestrel kernel: acd0: setting up DMA failed

Quiting k3b doesn't stop the flood of errors, reboots hang and the only 
solution is to hit the reset switch.

I'm running 7.0 RELEASE and if I reboot into my 6.3 partition k3b works 
just fine, confirming that it's not a media or hardware fault. I've 
also replaced the DVD writer but I still get the problem with 7.0.

I can burn the same data to the same DVD with growisofs with no problem 
which suggests that the problem lies with k3b so this got me wondering 
if it was related to the massive portupgrade I did yesterday (affecting 
156 ports) but that seems unlikely because when portupgrade finished 
last night I rebooted and burnt that day's backup to DVD+RW without 
problem. This morning I burnt 3 DVD+Rs without problem, then about an 
hour later the problem suddenly appeared when I started to burn another 
DVD+RW, and there'd been absolutely no software or hardware changes 
since the previous successful run.

Although I don't think upgrading the ports is responsible I've tried 
downgrading k3b from 1.0.4_1 to 1.0.4 but that had no effect, nor did 
downgrading dvd+rw-tools-7.1 to 7.0. I don't think any of the other 
upgraded ports would have been significant.

Turning off DMA by setting hw.ata.ata_dma and hw.ata.atapi_dma to zero 
stops the errors but with a big performance hit so that's not an option 
for a permanent fix.

I've now run out of ideas for what to try next so any suggestions would 
be welcome.

You're trying with your devfs stuff to create the file, but you have to realize
it's a device representing a filesystem, not just a file.  What you want to read
is the mount and fstab man pages, mount to find out how to mount your memory
stick, and fstab to figure out how to get it to happen automatically.  The devfs
stuff is all mistaken, I think, you want that when you want to change
permissions or make softlinks of devices, not to create them in the first place,
 least that's how I';'ve always used it, and I know very well that the correct
line in /etc/fstab WILL automount your memory stick.

I could give you the exact line, but I think you would rather look that up
yourself (I know I would).

Stick memory USB

[nej ALL]

Hi,

I'm new on FreeBSD not on unix.

I want to mount automatically an usb-stick memory into my machine ?
I get some problems.

Need help.

-> /etc/devfs.rules
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator

Actions:
1) ls -al   /dev/da*
ls: No match.

2) I Plug into the USB port, the ImageMate 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer
(SanDisk)

3) ls -al   /dev/da*
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3

4) I put the memory stick into the Card reader's slot

5) ls -al/dev/da*
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3

the /dev/da2s1 isn't here.

6) mount_msdosfs   /dev/da2s1/mnt/cleusb/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: No such file or directory

7) fdisk/dev/da2
*** Working on device /dev/da2 ***
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=30 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=30 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 4 (0x04),(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT (< 32MB))

beg: cyl 1/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 979/ head 1/ sector 32
The data for partition 2 is:

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:


8) ls -al   /dev/da*
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3

9) mount_msdosfs   /dev/da2/mnt/cleusb
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2: Invalid argument

The command mount_msdosfs terminated abnormally but created in the /dev
directory  the /dev/da2s1 file.

10) ls -al  /dev/da*
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 142 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2s1
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3

11) And now i can mount and umount the stick memory.

Please, can someone explain to me why, when i plug the stick memory into the
slot of the card reader,  the system doesn't create the /dev/da2s1 file in
the the /dev directory.

And why i use the mount_msdosfs command, this command creates /dev/da2s1
file in the /dev directory.

Thank you for your answers !

Sorry for my english.

Never mind. I installed the pre-compiled package using pkg_add. It is

My own configuration notes. Your mileage may vary : )

#How to install and configure K3b on FreeBSD 7.0

#To install the pre-compiled package (usually satisfactory) use the code 
below


pkg_add -r k3b

# If the pre-compiled package is ill-suited for your system, you can try 
compiling from source using the code below.


cd /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b  && make install clean

# Next, we edit configuration files in order to establish the proper 
settings and permissions

# Edit /boot/loader.conf to add the following:

atapicam_enable="YES"
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"

# Modify devfs.conf with the following lines:

own cdrom root:operator
perm cdrom 0666
link cd0 cdwriter
own cderiter root:operator
perm cdwriter 0666
own pass0 root:operator
perm pass0 0666
own xpt0 root:operator
perm xpt0 0666

# Edit /etc/rc.conf to add the following:

devd_enable="YES"

#I am told the commands below are necessary on occasion. My system seems 
to work fine without them, however.


chmod 4711 /usr/local/bin/cdrecord

I have the following in my /etc/devfs.conf file:

own cd0 root:operator
perm cd0 0660

This makes the cd device owned by root / operator, and the permissions 
are set so that everyone in the operators group can read and write the 
device. If you change it to perm cd0 0666, everyone will be able to read 
and write (depending on your setup, this may have security 
implications). Do not forget to perform /etc/rc.d/devfs restart if you 
change the above file.


You will need to load the atapicam module into the kernel if you wish to 
use utilities like cdrecord and k3b. This will make your atapi CD to be 
handled as a SCSI device.  Use something like:


kldload atapicam

and add: atapicam_load="YES" in your /boot/loader.conf so that it also 
loads on your next boot. You can also build atapicam into your kernel if 
you don't want to use the module. The CD will then be handled using a 
cdX device, i.e. cd0, while the atapicd is usually acd0


Finally, for instructions on setting up k3b, go to 
/usr/ports/sysutils/k3b directory and type:


make showinfo

This will tell you most that you need to know on setting up k3b 
(including some of the info mentioned above).

Unfortunately most of these don't appear to be functional. I've tried to

Of the 6 mirrors, ftp2.uk.freebsd.org looks like the only usable one. 
That's what I've been using for quite a while now with no problems.

The situation with UK mirrors for the FreeBSD website is quite messy 
too. The home page at www.uk.freebsd.org doesn't appear to have been 
updated for over a year, the production release is shown as 6.2 and the 
latest security patch is listed as 2007-02-09.

The main FreeBSD site  shows a couple of UK 
mirrors in it's drop-down list, United Kingdom/1 and United Kingdom/2, 
which resolve to  www1.uk.freebsd.org and www3.uk.freebsd.org 
respectively. Currently www1 appears to be down but www3 appears to be 
OK.

I appreciate that www.uk.freebsd.org isn't listed as a mirror on the 
main web site but it's the one many people might intuitively try to use 
and it's a pity that it will give them such an out of date view of 
FreeBSD.

If you have a spare partition on your system, then you can try the
depinguinator:

http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2008-01-29-depenguinator-2.0.html

The depinguinator helps you to create a FreeBSD install image, that has
SSH enabled by default. You can boot into that system and use it as an
install medium for your FreeBSD installation.

Boot with a FreeBSD installation or live CD/DVD and mount the home partition and
burn the files on a CD or DVD, or copy them with scp to an other system or 
mount a
remote filesystem like CIFS/Samba/NFS and copy the files on that filesystem.

Or restore them from your most recent backup :)

You have a server at an ISP?

I'd say you'll need physical access to do an actual reinstall, unless
they're using some kind of virtualization and you have access to that.

But how is the server getting "messy"? In most cases you can just remove the
software you're not using, and reclaim disk space that way. Also make sure
any unneeded services are removed from /etc/rc.conf. To be honest, though -
I've never felt the need to reinstall FreeBSD unless I was doing a major
update as well (5 -> 6 for example).

Does it segfault if you just run a class as you normally would? e.g what
happens if you do the following:

vi HelloWorld.java

class HelloWorld {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
  }
}


javac HelloWorld.java
java HelloWorld
