Strange behaviour of the filesystem on FreeBSD-5.5
Hello. -- I have a trouble with /var filesystem on FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE-p20 (upgraded from 5.2 to 5.3, and then to 5.5 some days ago): 'df -h' shows: Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1d248M138M 90M61%/var 'du -s /var' shows: 28M/var I'm sure, that there can not be 62Mb of technical info on such small partition. So, probably there is a bug in soft-updates, or some another thing, that i can't understand. Free space on /var reduces with time, and after three days there are no free inodes. But after i reboot my machine (and background fsck makes it's job), things are good again, du and df are in agreement about sizes of filesystems. Also i tried to verify, that there are no files, which are deleted, but still occupy place in filesystem (i.e., when some process still use it's filehandle). The output of 'lsof +D /var' shows *only* existent files on /var filesystem. Can anybody, please, give me some advice about how to fix this VERY annoying problem, since this FreeBSD box is our enterprise's router, and i sometimes must go to office and reboot it even on holidays. Maybe, reinstalling everything from scratch would be the simplest thing to do, but i still hope, that somebody can tell me how to fix everything 'in place'. -- Ilya. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If updated est code isn't in 7.0p6 you maybe could apply a patch if you won't be upgrading to 7.1, assuming I'm right about recent new code. This looks ungood. You maybe should quote the earlier dmesgs re ACPI too. This sounds like an issue to take to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. Hum, about ACPI, if I remember well, there is a BIOS option to enable/disable ACPI 2 tables. I will take a look at that. There may be some BIOS stuff about SpeedStep options too. Basically you should expect FreeBSD to ignore BIOS settings, except how they influence the ACPI implementation, but some BIOSes can contain surprises. Either way, EST isn't functioning, or you'd have a larger range of freqs available than these eight, and milliWatt figures instead of those -1. There's no sign of 2.66GHz either, if that's expected? 2.66 GHz isn't expected, the CPU is an Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 @ 2.5 GHz. It's one of the newest 45nm CPUs that were released in August 2008. The motherboard is an ASUS P5KPL-CM and the BIOS is updated to the latest version. Cool. I vaguely recall seeing recent est patches for some newer cpus, but not having one myself, I didn't pay much attention. Check the last few months of the freebsd-acpi archives for suitable looking subjects. [..] I found this problem with my machine after I looked at an article telling that the new 45nm Intel CPUs were idling at around 3-4W when Speedstep is decreasing their frequency. And I guess it means that I suspect 3-4W, even per core, would be at a much lower freq than 1GHz, probably nearer the minimum of ~125MHz. I've been running my server at 1.25 GHz all the time since I installed it, which would explain why some compiling jobs were slow! Sure. Why it starts at 50% I don't know, unless something thinks there is a temperature problem? Anyway, you need powerd, and you likely need to check the acpi@ list about getting your EST working .. you may even need a BIOS upgrade or hacking on your ACPI ASL, but hopefully not .. And post them more details; at least the full /var/run/dmesg.boot and the results of 'sysctl hw.acpi dev.cpu' .. saving rounds of questions. About the 50%, if I check the CPU frequency in the BIOS, it is always at 50%, probably because there is not much possible CPU load in configuring it. No, if it were based on load while looking at the BIOS it'd show you the lowest speed for sure. This sounds like a selection more than a report? My Core 2 Duo desktop computer has a similar behaviour if I check the frequency when idle, either under Windows, Linux or in the BIOS. The max CPU frequency is 2.66 GHz and it always idles at 2 GHz. 2GHz is hardly idling .. maybe there's a BIOS option affecting that too, but it should only affect the starting freq, which powerd should ignore. Under powerd it should drop right back at idle. In fact there've been problems with some machines dropping back to 125, 100, even 75MHz under no or very light load, such that interactive responsiveness is shot and some processes needing fast interrupt response (bursts of wifi traffic, for one) have had issues, prompting some recent new work on algorithms for powerd on SMP systems. See cpufreq(4) about all this, and especially you might want to set debug.cpufreq.lowest to some sensible minimum freq, say 3-500MHz? The acpi@ list is really a better place for this; not too many of the heavy hitters there seem to have much spare time to read questions@ and where I'm mostly just an interested bystander, trying to learn :) cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If updated est code isn't in 7.0p6 you maybe could apply a patch if you won't be upgrading to 7.1, assuming I'm right about recent new code. I do plan to upgrade to 7.1 when it's out as it will probably include the driver for my onboard network adapter. There may be some BIOS stuff about SpeedStep options too. Basically you should expect FreeBSD to ignore BIOS settings, except how they influence the ACPI implementation, but some BIOSes can contain surprises. Yes, there are options about SpeedStep. I suspect 3-4W, even per core, would be at a much lower freq than 1GHz, probably nearer the minimum of ~125MHz. The 5W consumption isn't even at the lowest speed. The 45nm CPUs are supposed to have an excellent power efficiency. Under Windows/Linux, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) doesn't step down the frequency at the lowest value possible. On my C2D (65nm), like I said, it drops to 2 GHz from 2.66. It seems the idle power consumption of those C2D is around 15W. With EIST on the 45nm Intel CPUs, the idle power usage has been tested to be under 4W with a quad-core unit, and this is not at the lowest possible frequency. The 1.25 GHz frequency I see in the BIOS is probably related to the frequency step down EIST automatically does as with my C2D, the BIOS always shows 2 GHz but under Windows/Linux, when the CPU is working, the frequency comes back to 2.66 GHz. I guess that the FreeBSD est driver needs to work with my processor to enable this behaviour. See this: http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/203838.htm http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-penryn-4ghz-air-cooling,1712-13.html No, if it were based on load while looking at the BIOS it'd show you the lowest speed for sure.

add/change/delete dhcpd.conf entries

I once had a similar problem; however the line number given had nothing
to do with where the actual error was. In my case, I had a duplicate
';' I believe located in the file. You will probably have to go through
the file line by line to locate the problem. Perhaps commenting out
sections and seeing if the problem continues might help.

behavioral change of read builtin for sh on 8-CURRENT
I've noticed a behavioral difference of the read builtin statement within
/bin/sh on CURRENT and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right
direction on how to restore the old behavior.
I have a /bin/sh script that accepts input for IP address information:
#!/bin/sh
set -x
DEFINT=vr0
DEFIP=192.168.0.1
DEFMASK=255.255.255.0
read -p Enter network interface [$DEFINT]: -t 5 INT
read -p Enter IP address [$DEFIP]: -t 5 IP
read -p Enter netmask [$DEFMASK]: -t 5 MASK
echo ${INT:=$DEFINT} : ${IP:=$DEFIP}/${MASK:=$DEFMASK}
This script waits for terminal input for each of the above variables (INT,
IP, MASK) and defaults to a script-provided value if no input is entered in
5 seconds for each variable. On 6.x and 7.x if I simply hit Enter at the
prompt (and don't provide any input) no value is assigned to the variable so
my INT, IP, and MASK variables are set to null and the parameter
substitution of the DEF* variables works as expected.
On 8-CURRENT if I hit Enter with no input at the prompt the system seems to
recognize the newline as input and continues to sit there until I hit Enter
again. When I do this there appears to be a strange unprintable value
assigned to the INT, IP, and MASK variables yet the variable subsitution
doesn't work correctly.
The man page on sh lists the following behavior for read:
read [-p prompt] [-t timeout] [-er] variable ...
The prompt is printed if the -p option is specified and the
stan-
dard input is a terminal. Then a line is read from the
standard
input. The trailing newline is deleted from the line and the
line is split as described in the section on White Space
Splitting (Field Splitting) above, and the pieces are assigned
to
the variables in order. If there are more pieces than
variables,
the remaining pieces (along with the characters in IFS that
sepa-
rated them) are assigned to the last variable. If there are
more
variables than pieces, the remaining variables are assigned the
null string.
As I interpret this, read should delete the trailing newline and assign a
null value since there is is no input before the newline. Then the
variable substitution should take over and assign the DEF* variables
appropriately. 6 and 7 follow this but 8 does not.
Here's the output of the script (with set -x) to help show what I'm seeing.
This is on 6 and 7:
+ DEFINT=vr0
+ DEFIP=192.168.0.1
+ DEFMASK=255.255.255.0
+ read -p Enter network interface [vr0]: -t 5 INT
Enter network interface [vr0]:
+ read -p Enter IP address [192.168.0.1]: -t 5 IP
Enter IP address [192.168.0.1]:
+ read -p Enter netmask [255.255.255.0]: -t 5 MASK
Enter netmask [255.255.255.0]:
+ echo vr0 : 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
vr0 : 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
And this is what I see with 8:
+ DEFINT=vr0
+ DEFIP=192.168.0.1
+ DEFMASK=255.255.255.0
+ read -p Enter network interface [vr0]: -t 5 INT
Enter network interface [vr0]:
+ read -p Enter IP address [192.168.0.1]: -t 5 IP
Enter IP address [192.168.0.1]:
+ read -p Enter netmask [255.255.255.0]: -t 5 MASK
Enter netmask [255.255.255.0]:
/: cho
/:
Strange that the echo statement is missing the first e character in the
debug output.
Even stranger on 8-CURRENT, if I *do* enter input before the newline (say I
change the IP address or the network interface), the first character is not
echoed back to the screen but is still saved to the variable. Here's an
example when I run the script and provide input at each prompt:
+ DEFINT=vr0
+ DEFIP=192.168.0.1
+ DEFMASK=255.255.255.0
+ read -p Enter network interface [vr0]: -t 5 INT
Enter network interface [vr0]: r0
+ read -p Enter IP address [192.168.0.1]: -t 5 IP
Enter IP address [192.168.0.1]: 92.168.0.1
+ read -p Enter netmask [255.255.255.0]: -t 5 MASK
Enter netmask [255.255.255.0]: 55.255.255.0
+ echo br0 : 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
br0 : 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
+ echo ifconfig br0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Notice that when I'm prompted, the first character doesn't echo but is still
saved in the variable.
Does anyone else see this same behavior? Any ideas on how to reset it back
to how it works in STABLE? I'm not doing anything special with IFS so I'm
stumped on how to troubleshoot this.
Thanks,
Proto

After reading this I have still have questions: 1. What is weighted CPU percentage? 2. What does ps(1) display as CPU ... (visible only on SMP systems), TIME is the number of system and user cpu seconds that the process has used, WCPU, when displayed, is the weighted cpu percentage (this is the same value that ps(1) displays as CPU), CPU is the raw percentage and is the field that is sorted to determine the order of the processes, and COMMAND is the name of the NOTICE: this will be better to describe one parameter per paragraph TIME the number of system and user cpu seconds that the process has used WCPU the weighted cpu percentage (average CPU usage by process per minute) CPU the momentary/instant? percentage of CPU usage by process (Default sorted by this column) COMMAND . 2.
