Software RAID options for a media server
Hi Guys, As my dream of a hardware based SCSI RAID root disk was so soundly dashed, I have been trying to figure out the most appropriate software implementation for a media server. Which sw RAID is best for streaming media? The options I have are: RAID1z, the redundancy is not my concern so much as performance over a network, but if the reduction in performance is negligible I may opt for it for fun. or RAID0 using gvinum, a far more complex option so I'd like to get an idea of its suitability. Otherwise if there are any other avenues please fill me in. I am at a loss on which way to go...

Depends - you may have postfix installed and /etc/mail/* configured to use it
instead...in which case there may not be much need for base's sendmail. Other
than that, I definitely agree with you.

"Games" is a bit of a misnomer, Most of the old FreeBSD games have been moved into games/freebsd-games. What's left is not much more than fortune (for login tips), and includes several things that could equally well be regarded as utilities: primes(6), factor(6), random(6). Before you remove "games", make sure you don't use any scripts that rely on these utilities.

In order to shut down a system that does not have ACPI, but APM, ACPI needs to be disabled in most cases, as well as APM needs to be enabled manually.

This is a very important point. By turning the cache on, you have not resolved an underlying performance issue, if there even is one.

Backporting most drivers from 7.0 to 6.x isn't a big deal (can generally just copy over and compile). However, zyd(4) is a wireless driver and the net80211 wireless networking stack is quite different in 6.x vs 7.0, so that is where it would be complicated to backport the driver. I'm not intimately familiar with net80211 in either branch, so I'm unsure how much work the backport would be. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Uh, bad idea. :-) If I remember correctly, you cannot update the system within "one rush" if you don't use the binary update with the freebsd-update utility. According to your script > cd /usr/src && \ > make buildworld && \ > make buildkernel && \ seems to be okay up to this point, but > make installworld && \ > make installkernel && \ is not recommended to be done in MUM. Refer to the corresponding section of the handbook: Build world and kernel first, then install the new kernel and reboot the system into SUM with it; then run "mergemaster -p", install the world and run "mergemaster". I think "make delete-old" comes afterwards. But I think you can update the jails camel and box as you described.

Upgrade to 7.0? How to do that is documented on freebsd.org in the handbook. If the driver isn't available in 6[.x]-STABLE (I have no idea, I run 7-STABLE), it's not been backported, meaning that there hasn't been (or not sufficient) interest in doing that, and I'd presume that you don't want to do that either (or lack the technical skills to do so, which I don't mean in a derogative way), so your only real option is to upgrade. Oh, by the way: it's generally not considered good manners to cross-post to several mailinglists. One is enough, and in your case, -questions was just fine. -- Heiko Wundram ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi David,
~From what I can tell here, that information is not recorded in the
package file. For instance, I build a lot of packages with custom
options in what I call a "template jail". Then I build other jails and
run pkg_add for all of the packages that I want to install in them.
In the template jail, there's a /var/db/ports/ directory with
subdirectories for each port that uses the OPTIONS variable. My
/var/db/ports/wget/options file looks like this:
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for wget-1.11.2_1
_OPTIONS_READ=wget-1.11.2_1
WITHOUT_GNUTLS=true
WITHOUT_IPV6=true
WITHOUT_NLS=true
WITH_OPENSSL=true
I just logged into another jail and extracted the wget .tgz file into a
temp directory and ran some text searches like so:
jail16# zcat /packages/wget-1.11.2_1.tgz | tar xvfB -
x +CONTENTS
x +COMMENT
x +DESC
x +MTREE_DIRS
x man/man1/wget.1.gz
x bin/wget
x etc/wgetrc.sample
x info/wget.info
jail16# find . -type f -exec grep -H WITH_ {} \;
jail16# find . -type f -exec grep -H WITHOUT_ {} \;
As you can see, nothing matched in the extracted package files. I
wonder how easy it would be to add an enhancement to pkg_create to store
the /var/db/ports//options file to the package as "+OPTIONS"?
That would be very helpful to what I'm doing, and I'd also like to see
better support for maintaining those options when upgrading ports from
source.
Can anyone comment on the pkg_add enhancement and what side-effects that
might have?
Regards,
Greg

The "missing" ports don't even show up in a full listing with portbersion -v. This change in behaviour might be a result of to me experimenting with portmaster as a possible replacement for portupgrade. In order to ensure that the held ports wouldn't get upgraded by portmaster I created +IGNOREME files in their /var/db/pkg directories. I imagine the ports database must have been affected as a result of this but I've tried deleting the +IGNOREME files, and even removing the holds from pkgtools.conf but that made no difference to portversion. I've tried pkgdb with -F and -u options but still no joy. It looks like it's not just portversion that's affected, pkgdb can't find the "missing" ports either: curlew:/root# pkgdb -o gnutls-2.4.1 security/gnutls security/gnutls curlew:/root# pkgdb -o unison-2.13.16_1 ? ? curlew:/root# How do I repair my ports? -- Mike Clarke ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Then browse the sources to see what has been selected. Sometimes its easier to see the options selected by watching the port compile. A simple "make" will compile the port but not install it. A potential problem is that if a build dependency is missing it will try to build and install that first. A build dependency is something needed to build the port but not needed to run the port. Precompiled ports bypass the need for build dependencies. Or you could just study the Makefile and supporting files in /usr/ports/ to see what the defaults are for your particular precompiled port. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: rc.suspend/rc.resume was: resume (hate to even ask)
Can you verify that acpi is loaded and working, 'sysctl -a |grep acpi' ? Suspend/Resume will not work properly with apm and requires acpi. You might also try disabling the loading of any extra modules, particularly sound, on boot in /boot/loader.conf and see if any of that helps. I needed to load acpi_ibm, add a tweak for the mouse in /boot/loader.conf and stop a wireless interface in rc.suspend before resume started working properly on my thinkpad T23. Only loading acpi_ibm seemed intuitive to me, I still don't know what 'hint.psm.0.flags="0x3000"' does, and I suspect issues with the ipw driver in FreeBSD but can't find any information on that.

Timeout on wireless ipw0 using wpa and dhcp
Hello, I have been having an issue with maintaining a connection that seems to hang at random intervals. The only messages I see are about the interface 'ipw0: link state changed to DOWN' then UP a few times until the connection is reestablished or I have to '/etc/rc.d/netif restart ipw0'. If left on it's own reestablishing the connection takes under 60 seconds, using netif is about 5 seconds including typing the command. I suspect an issue with either dhcp, wpa_supplicant, or the ipw wireless driver. I was not able to get the ipw driver to work at all in FreeBSD-6.3 and suspect the driver. Is there anyway to pin down the problem? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

No, OSPF cannot provide load balancing, as FreeBSD does not support equal cost multipath routing, that is you can use one and only one next hop for a destination. So, in short, OSPF will not do load balancing, as it does with other vendors you may be familiar with. If you run CARP on the LAN links as well(which you probably do), you should test and see how CARP's ARP level load balancing fits your network...
