Re: ZFS: Strange performance issues
Hello, I'm seeing exactly the same issues on my 5 disk raidz pool again. In brief: I can only write to the filesystem at ~20MB/s, and read from it at ~25MB/s. Normally, I'd expect to be able to write at nearer 50-100 MB/s, and read at ~200MB/s. The values from zpool iostat -v are also strange. When writing to the pool, I get sensible values, whereby the pool write rate matches the rate reported by dd, and each of the five drives reports a quarter of this rate. When reading from the filesystem, the pool read rate is ~200MB/s, with each drive reading at ~40MB/s. The read rate that dd reports is still 25MB/s however. The last time that this happened, I concluded that ZFS had simply ceased to perform any caching, which would apparently explain the above observations. A reboot fixed this issue, and the assumption of caching problems seemed borne out by the change in kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.p, .c and .size: Before reboot*: kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.p: 21353344 kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c: 21353344 kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.size: 29774848 After reboot: kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.p: 412187380 kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c: 415807010 kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.size: 416037376 I had guessed that this caching problem was due to some unexpected pressure on memory, but had rebooted the system before thinking to check! Seeing the same issues again, I am now in a position to investigate further. I see the same reduced values in kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.*: kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.p: 21353344 kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.c: 21353344 kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.size: 29774848 I'm not sure exactly how to interpret stats from top, but there doesn't appear to be anying amiss: Mem: 340M Active, 765M Inact, 686M Wired, 976K Cache, 211M Buf, 162M Free Swap: 8192M Total, 1152K Used, 8191M Free Before I restart this system, can anyone suggest anything to further diagnose whats going on here?

(I have included the two previous lines to show the dependent libraries, if that helps.) Important information: 1) I am running the code on an i386 machine with the NVIDIA driver (nvidia- driver-173 for an old FX 5200). 2) I installed the Mesa Libs after installing the NVIDIA driver. I then thought this might produce a conflict with the Nvidia-supplied GL libs, so un- installed the NVIDIA driver. Then re-installed after installing mesa-demos. 3) glxinfo | grep -i render reports: direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: GeForce FX 5200/PCI/SSE2 4) glxgears runs without problems When I uninstall the NVIDIA driver and build the code, the linker error above disappears and the code runs to the point where I can select the graphics mode, i.e., it executes user code without dumping core. However, selecting any mode now gives (somewhat expectedly): === selected video mode is: 1280 x 1024 (32 bpp) Could not set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual === So, it appears that there is some conflict between the mesa libraries (which I need to #include to build the code) and the NVIDIA-supplied libraries, or am I on the wrong track?

In the end, as a last resort, I de-installed the nvidia driver and started X with an empty /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which presumably loads the nv driver). I re-built my code and it runs, albeit without the smoothest of graphics. I guess that that proves that the problem lies with the NVIDIA driver and its inter-relationship with the Mesa libraries, which one has to use if one builds one's own OpenGL programs. It is a pity that FreeBSD has not sorted that out, but I hasten to add that I'm new to FBSD and it could be my error. It does beg the question, though, how one would develop OpenGL apps on FBSD? I'll revisit this soon, after some careful googling.

Re: FreeBSD 8.0 not detecting hot swap drive insertion
It should be noted that my raid controller card driver (htprr) is exhibiting the same issue. Before 8.0, both the ata and htprr drivers would recognize a HD insertion and the disks information would be scanned and device nodes created. On 8.0, the best I can see is that the drive insertion is detected (the htprr driver prints a message about drive insertion/removal), but the disks are never scanned for drive information nor device nodes created. Rob Rob wrote: I don't have any /dev/ada* devices, so I assume I'm using the original ata driver. I haven't done any kernel customization, and am running the distribution's kernel (upgraded with the freebsd-update tool). Does the older driver no longer detect drive insertion? Rob Steve Polyack wrote: Rob wrote: I'm running a 10 hot-swap SATA disk ZFS pool and recently upgraded from 7.2 to 8. Since I upgraded, freebsd isn't spinning up or recognizing a new drive that is inserted. In freebsd 7.[0,2], I could remove a drive and insert a new one and freebsd would recognize it, spin it up, and create the device nodes. None of that is happening in 8.0, and the only way I've found to get it to recognize the disk is to reboot the system. I tried using atacontrol to force freebsd to reinit an ata channel, but that didn't have any effect. Did something change in 8.0 that prevents this auto-detection? Is there a way to re-enable it? Are you using the original (7.x) ata(4) driver or the newer enhanced SATA drivers like ahci(4) or siis(4)? If you're using the latter your devices will be labeled /dev/ada* instead of /dev/ad*. If you are indeed using the newer enhanced SATA drivers, you will need to use camcontrol to reset and rescan the associated SATA channels. ___ 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 ___ 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 ___ 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

It is a pity that FreeBSD has not sorted that out, but I hasten to add that I'm new to FBSD and it could be my error. What I meant here by sort out was that FreeBSD provide some way for Mesa libs and NVIDIA drivers to co-exist. It seems that you (as new user) have to learn, through error, that you need to install Mesa first, then NVIDIA (and whenever Mesa-related apps get an upgrade you need to re-install NVIDIA). Would be nice if these two ports could check for each other's existence before install and do the necessary to the libGL* symbolic links.

Incidentally, if there is anyone out there with newer hardware who is interested in building the code I am talking about you can find it at: http://physics.ukzn.ac.za/~richm/courses/phys110/lennard-jones-3d.html You'll need to change the following lines in the Makefile to get it to successfully build under FreeBSD: == CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -pthread -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/SDL -O3 -march=native LFLAGS = -Wall -L/usr/local/lib lennardjones : $(OBJS) $(CC) $(LFLAGS) -o lennardjones $(OBJS) -lSDL -lSDL_gfx -lGLU == It would be interesting to hear feedback. (Basic controls are: up-arrow add heat to crystal; down-arrow cool down gas/crystal. There are a bunch of others -- look in main.c).
