Re: Shuttle for a BSD file server?
Maxim Khitrov wrote: Greetings, I'm planning to build a new home file server for myself, starting with about 2TB of RAID6 space, but with room to grow in the future. Most of that will be on SATA drives, but I may throw in two SAS drives in RAID1 for the base OS, hence the SAS raid controller and enclosure. The highest priority for this build is data security, followed by performance and uptime. Rather than go for server-grade components, I thought that I should instead try to separate storage from the server itself. It's cheaper (sort of), easier to upgrade in the future, and if the server goes down for some reason, I can just put the raid card into another machine and once again have access to my data. The other advantage with this build is that I already have a Q6600 and some DDR2 memory around, so that will save me money on having to get Xeons and ECC memory. With that in mind, I currently have the following components picked out (listed below). I would like to know whether anyone has used any of these with FreeBSD 7.x, or if you have some other suggestions for what I should look into (am I asking for trouble by using these parts for a 24/7 file server in terms of stability)? I know that the 3ware controller should be supported, but I'm not sure about the Shuttle. How does FreeBSD play with X48 chipset? The drive enclosure obviously doesn't interact with the OS, but I'd still like your opinion on it or maybe some alternatives. Please let me know what you think. [snip] I'm not really answering the direct question, per se, but there is a data point you may wish to know a little more about. There exists a difference in hard drives, ala Enterprise vs Desktop. The difference is in the length of the timeout experienced when an error condition such as a platter sector read/write error and resultant remap. Desktop drives have a fairly long period (something like 8, or more, seconds) while trying to handle the situation. With the Enterprise grade of drive this period is much shorter, something like 1 to 1.5 seconds max. Different hardware combinations ultimately behave differently, but the place where this matters most is with a RAID controller. A RAID controller is expecting this timeout to be very short. When paired with desktop drives sometimes a RAID controller will detach, or lose connection, to a drive and you may see lots of read_dma and/or write_dma errors. This is very problematic as it may not actually show itself for quite a while after drive(s) have been placed into service, e.g., everything will run just fine until a drive encounters the first time a sector fails and the drive remaps the sector to another location. A Desktop series of drive can take so long to handle this error condition that the controller assumes the entire drive is no longer present. In a datacenter environment the Enterprise grade of drives are commonly used. It is when the home user plugs up desktop drives to a RAID controller is where this problem is most likely to surface. It doesn't in all situations, as many people have done just this and experienced no trouble at all. Just one small data point to consider. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
[Fwd: Re: Steps to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to 7.1-RELEASE]
Hi, I've continued reading to keep myself updated with info used, and I have a few questions about what I've seen about freebsd-update: I've read not to use FreeBSD-update AND cvsup together, and so I've decided to go along with this as to not cause problems for myself.

Of course, you can somehow get pieces on new ports, unrelated to X. I've had patches available for probably a couple of months now posted to freebsd-...@. For the few people who tested it, I had no real issues reported. We were stalled for a long time, While X kept moving, so the amount of change was large.

RE: [7.1-RELEASE-p2 amd64] NFS mount in fstab hangs during mountcritremote execution
Mel wrote: - why does the system tries to mount the nfs filesystem from the fstab while nfs_client_enable has been set to no in rc.conf? Because there is no relation between the two. You could be using a 3rd party nfs kernel module. Yes, but I am not. I'm using the default kernel option which I believe is enabled with the mentioned rc.conf switch, or am I wrong here? And more bizarre: when interrupting the mountcritremote script the share has been actually mounted, so it seems the 'mount -a -t nfs' command has actually been executed successfully. Looks more like the server is not sending a success message or it got lost in transit. If this is 100% reproducable, look into compatibility issues, by scaling down the NFS version for the mount and check firewall rules on both ends. Firewall has been disabled and seems not the problem, since (even with the firewall enabled) the manual mount works fine. In case of fw problems this would be a problem too. Also what puzzles me is the fact that a new identical setup box has no problem. As I wrote earlier the only difference is that I did not select the 'enable nfs client' from the sysinstall this time. I have not used any of the mentioned flags on the second box too, so why does it work on that machine? -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind Regards, Worldmax Operations B.V.

X.org-update - screen garbled / settings for xorg.conf?
Hi, Today I upgraded my system (ports) so I got x.org 7.4 installed. Given the various entries in /usr/ports/UPDATING about the recent updates for xorg I wonder what the correct settings/combinations are for my installation: I've got hald running as per /etc/rc.conf with hald_enable=YES as well as moused (moused_enable=YES in rc.conf). My login is via console from where I manually start X11 (gnome) via startx. Here's what I've got in my xorg.conf: # Added after upgrade of X11 Section ServerFlags Option AllowEmptyInput false EndSection the following entries where there even before the upgrade: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option Corekeyboard Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbLayout de Option XkbVariant nodeadkeys EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 6 7 EndSection Here are my questions: o) When I start X it basically works, but then I get out of gnome, ending up at the commandline and start X11 again (startx), the screen becomes garbled and everything freezes completely. Not only is any input via the console disabled but also no reaction on already established ssh-sessions - complete lockup. I'm using the radeonhd driver for my graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT (RV610 chipset). o) Are the above settings (i.e. AllowEmptyInput and the sections for keyboard/mouse) correct for my combination of hald and moused running?

RE: [7.1-RELEASE-p2 amd64] NFS mount in fstab hangs duringmountcritremote execution
I've done some further investigation and this is what happens: The mountcritremote script executes mount -a -t nfs and times out. If this script is aborted, the NFS export is mounted later by the mountlate script with mount -a -l, this succeeds. This is the reason that the export is mounted after sending ctrl-d, the initial mount never succeeds. From what I can see now this is neither a firewall nor a NFS-version issue, else it would not succeed in the mountlate script. I'm still puzzled why on other boxes this is not a problem, while it is at this box. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind Regards, Worldmax Operations B.V.

Because there is no relation between the two. You could be using a 3rd party nfs kernel module. Yes, but I am not. I'm using the default kernel option which I believe is enabled with the mentioned rc.conf switch, or am I wrong here? And more bizarre: when interrupting the mountcritremote script the share has been actually mounted, so it seems the 'mount -a -t nfs' command has actually been executed successfully. Looks more like the server is not sending a success message or it got lost in transit. If this is 100% reproducable, look into compatibility issues, by scaling down the NFS version for the mount and check firewall rules on both ends. Firewall has been disabled and seems not the problem, since (even with the firewall enabled) the manual mount works fine. In case of fw problems this would be a problem too. Also what puzzles me is the fact that a new identical setup box has no problem. As I wrote earlier the only difference is that I did not select the 'enable nfs client' from the sysinstall this time. I have not used any of the mentioned flags on the second box too, so why does it work on that machine? -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind Regards, Worldmax Operations B.V.

FreeBSD 7.1: iwi problem with intel 2200 pro wireless card
Dear FreeBSD-questions Group, I recently installed freeBSD 7.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T42 (types 2378). The system will not connect to the internet wirelessly using the Intel 2200 pro wireless card. The problem is described in the following and some relevent files (/var/log/messages, /var/run/dmesg.boot, /boot/loader.conf) are pasted below my signature. Thanks in advance for any help configuring this feature. When I attempt to connect to the internet using the 'ifconfig iwi0 up scan' command the terminal gives no response and in /var/log/messages, 'iwi0: could not load main firmware iwi_bss' is given as an error. Ocassionally, after a system reboot the wireless card will connect to a local network. However attempting to change wireless networks causes the wireless to crash. Therefore, I do not think the problem is hardware based. Additionally, I have checked the hardware using Windows XP device manager (Windows XP is installed on a separated hard drive). The wireless works fine on Windows XP. I have looked through message boards without luck finding a solution for my system. Please let me know if this question ought to be sent elsewhere, I am a new user. Thanks again for taking the time to read this.

wireless signal strength
Hi. I have recently install FreeBSD-7.1 on my laptop. The laptop used to have windows and linux, but I have replaced linux with FreeBSD because I thought it looked very promising. However, I have one problem: the wireless signal strength seems to be significantly weaker when I am running FreeBSD. On windows I can connect and get online, but when I'm running FreeBSD it keeps connecting and disconnecting, or not even seeing the network at all. Also in linux it was never a problem. Is there something that can be done with this? In linux I was using wireless-tools (iwconfig) and dhclient, which worked fine. Are there perhaps other software that will work better than using ifconfig? /lars ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

We're also running our own kernel with quota option. Also, from reading this doc, I'll get the GENERIC kernel with the upgrade and then I'll just need to rebuild for quotas You can try to do the steps and ignore clamav failing, then upgrade the port after the new kernel is in place. I guess there is some chance it might fail to build after the upgrade for entirely different reasons so use that info at your own risk Making a backup first might be a good idea.

Re: ssh login problem
Yup, it was I/O problem. I couldn't find anything in the log, so I decided to go to data center and take a look. Kernel panic messages were on the screen: panic: ffs_alloccg: map corrupted ... ... Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode ... fault code:= supervisor write, page not present Upon inspection, I found out that it had seagate 1tb hard drive with known firmware issue. Replaced the drive and it looks OK so far. Hopefully that was it. Thanks for the help!

Interesting -- I just did my comprehensive upgrade, as a part of which xorg-server went from 1.5.3_1,1 to 1.5.3_2,1.

No, this is a new install and there are no env vars set. I made sure that the env was clean anyways.

As a little excuse to the original poster I did some research: How about using # Xorg -query IP-address :display-number from command line? (Mind: you have to set display number to something different from default 0 (p.ex. 1 or 2) if you are calling from inside an already running Xorg). That's a really thin client and it seems to work (for me - I can logon to my wifes Debian machine).
