What is loading my server so much?
System is FreeBSD shopzeus.com 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #0: Sun Oct 31 02:55:28 EDT 2010 amd64 It has two quad-core Xeon CPUs, 24GB memory, and a RAID 1+0 array with 10 disks + Areca 1680 controller with 2GB write back cache. Server is running: mailscanner + apache multihost + PHP + postgresql. Main load on the server is usually postgresql. Today something happened. Number of http processes went up to 200. As a result, number of connections to database also went up to 200, and the web server is now refusing clients with Cannot connect to database messages (coming from PHP). This is a typical output from top: last pid: 12789; load averages: 7.77, 10.77, 13.46 up 26+03:00:30 06:22:04 6637 processes: 7 running, 623 sleeping, 7 zombie CPU: 32.9% user, 0.0% nice, 7.6% system, 0.6% interrupt, 58.9% idle Mem: 3885M Active, 15G Inact, 3236M Wired, 627M Cache, 2465M Buf, 656M Free Swap: 12G Total, 12M Used, 12G Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZERES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 66834 pgsql1 1180 443M 417M CPU22 16:17 99.46% postgres 11473 pgsql1 720 441M 242M sbwait 5 0:02 4.59% postgres 11026 pgsql1 470 439M 249M sbwait 7 0:01 3.17% postgres 6642 www 1 480 236M 42928K select 0 0:01 2.29% httpd 10147 www 1 480 236M 44048K select 6 0:01 2.10% httpd 3961 shopzeus29 440 208M 96364K uwait 4 18.4H 1.37% python Here is what I don't understand. last pid is increasing relatively slowly, e.g. there are no hidden processes. Only the first one or two processes are showing CPU load 10%. The CPU User% value is about 50%. We have lots of free memory. I/O load is almost nothing (see iostat below). However, server load is between 7 and 13! In fact sometimes it is above 16. And everybody complains that the server is too slow. How can I find out what is causing the problem?

NO text mode browser gives a first sight effect that will convince a user he's installing a modern OS. Sounds stupid, I know. As I said, the way the user interacts with the browser does determine how fast he gets through the installation. Learning the browser (instead of just pressing the keys shown on the screen) could make things look worse. On the other hand, with the ability of X to run without configuration on recent hardware, what's wrong with running X with a graphical web browser - if the user DECIDED that way? Of course, this decision is the FIRST step in the install process: Install method -- T - traditional text mode installer (sysinstall) (this one does not have all the options) W - web-based installer in text mode (typical for professional users) G - web-based installer in graphics mode (typical for novice users) R - remote installation (just starts the server) S - shell (dialog shell access to live system) Enter choice: _ Just a simple idea. I like that approach- works for me anyway... Let me add that it would be good to default do an action after a certain time (e. g. 60 seconds). This default should be the preparation for remote installation as this is the obvious choice when no interaction is done - because it maybe is not possible (like for headless servers). So you put in the installation media (CD or USB stick), wait a minute, and then remotely access the installer. Accessibility should be foremost at this level and above. I would also like to see it that way; sadly, market share oriented development doesn't share this thought. You can make money on all the healthy users, there's plenty of them. Users with disabilites are uninteresting, from a marketing point of view. Users in niche markets are uninteresting, too. The legalities themselves are becoming hairy these days, and considering the point that we are trying to push accessibility in terms of applications (such as issues with flash, to name one) using physical accessibility as a parallel argument we should be setting an example as well. Accessibility on the web is just one point. Operating systems, the backbones of all the dancing bunnies, should be a good example of how to make information accessible to the widest amount of people. This includes the idea of NOT cutting out those who do not have the ability to access a graphical installer: Not because they don't want to use it, but because they don't have the means to access it. That said, there is no reason why can't make it look as pretty as we can without compromising this principle :) GUI installer, remote access and not rising barriers does not contradict. If done properly, it can benefit both the professional users AND those who judge at first sight. -- Polytropon I'm going to weigh in now. :) If you want to install FreeBSD using X with a pretty GUI, you can do that today. Use a PC-BSD install DVD. There is a radio button in the installer to make it install plain FreeBSD. pc-sysinstall is in HEAD now, and it is completely functional. It's been doing PC-BSD and FreeBSD installs for a long time now. The way it works is it does an install based on a config file, so really the work on the front end is building a tool that will build a config file. The real issue is that you really want a volume and disk layout wizard of sorts. The ability to take some disks, maybe make a gmirror, or a ZFS RAIDZ, or even use glabel on a single disk, then layout some filesystems on that, then do the install. It turns out that this is really simple to do in a web app, and not quite so simple to do in curses. You want things like constraining choices based on previous input. For instance you can't make a RAID-Z from two devices. As far as floppy based installs and all of that, the last successful install via floppy that I can find documented was in the 3.x era, in the 90's. That was over 10 years ago. Booting from floppy is pretty rare these days, and I submit that a system that has no choice but to boot from floppy isn't going to be able to run FreeBSD 9 anyways. My Pentium Pro can't boot anything newer than 4.11, and *that* has USB ports. Anything with a chance of running FreeBSD 9 can boot from USB or PXE. If it's a small modern embedded system you're using dd to put an image on it's flash card. Other situations fall

Only the first one or two processes are showing CPU load 10%. The CPU User% value is about 50%. We have lots of free memory. I/O load is almost nothing (see iostat below). However, server load is between 7 and 13! In fact sometimes it is above 16. And everybody complains that the server is too slow. How can I find out what is causing the problem? Step 1, get them to define server and too slow: If you log in and do shell ops, is the system slow to respond? Based on what you've reported, I'd be willing to bet that shell ops are pretty responsive. I can't be 100% sure without more information, but I'm willing to be that what your users are complaining about is your web application being slow. Since you don't say what that application is, I can only provide general advice. I'm guessing that PostgreSQL is the bottleneck. I'm going to first make a few general suggestions, then provide suggestions on how to isolate the problem more specifically. First off, you have 24G of RAM available and PostgreSQL only seems to have access to 400M of it. Bump shared_buffers up to 2 or 3 G at least, and bump up work_mem to at least a few hundred meg, and maintenance_work_mem up to at 1/2G or so. If the top and gstat outputs are typical, it looks like PostgreSQL is doing mostly writes, but is not significantly blocked on writes. It looks like individual PostgreSQL processes are simply taking a long time to do their work. What's in your PostgreSQL log files? If there's nothing, then bump up the logging information in your postgresql.conf. I particularly like log_min_duration_statement at 500 ... any query that takes longer than 1/2 second to execute is suspect in the types applications I work with most frequently. If your application is developed in-house, I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that there are LOTS of indexes missing and that PostgreSQL is doing lots of seq scans where it could run lots faster if it had indexes. Check also your autovacuum settings and ensure that tables are not bloating out of control due to insufficient vacuuming. You may have to vacuum full/ reindex the entire database to get things back under control, which can take a long time if it's badly bloated. Your application may also be suffering from lock contention if there are lots of table locks used. Looking at the pg_locks table while things are slow can quickly identify if this is the case, and looking at pg_stat_activity in conjunction with that table will usually narrow down the problem pretty quickly. Finally, if you find that PostgreSQL is the bottleneck and you can't narrow it down enough to fix, join the PostgreSQL general questions mailing list and ask for help with the same level of detail you did here. You'll find that they're an equally helpful community. Good luck. Hope this helps. -Bill ___ 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

Re: vsftpd + SSL not working
On Thu, 9 Dec 2010 14:46:11 +0100
Redd Vinylene reddvinyl...@gmail.com articulated:
I tried installing OpenSSL 1.0.0b from ports over 0.9.8p that came
with FreeBSD - and then recompiling vsftpd (commenting out the .if
${OSVERSION} 70 and the .endif below it in the Makefile to
force it to link to the port) - but it made no difference.
Did you try putting this in the /etc/make.conf file:
WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes
Then try doing an RR on the ports and see what transpires. By the way,
the port version of openssl is 1.0.0c, so you might want to update your
ports tree before attempting to rebuild the afflicted ports. Also,
check the updating file. You will need to rebuild a few files before
continuing on with your project.

Easy enough to setup, but one thing I just realized is that I wouldn't be able to enter the passphrase on the server since I keep it headless.

For example, perhaps I can set it up in a way that it'll automatically read from certain files on a thumb drive? I encrypt my data with gbde, it fetches the passphrase from another host if running.

Runaway ProFTP?
Dear list, Has anyone else had experience with ProFTP 1.3.3a running away with processes? I installed it about 2 months ago with a new server build and over the course of the last three weeks I've had to forcibly kill, wait and restart the service every one-to-three days and sucking up between 20% and 80% of my system resources. I've attempted to change the logging in hopes to track down what is causing the problems but I have not been successful. Additionally it won't connect after a restart through Filezilla but using Terminal on my MBP it will connect in the CLI. It's not the end of the world (for me) but it is for my staff when they have to upload large numbers of photos.

Re: What is loading my server so much?
Step 1, get them to define server and too slow: If you log in and do shell ops, is the system slow to respond? Based on what you've reported, I'd be willing to bet that shell ops are pretty responsive. I can't be 100% sure without more information, but I'm willing to be that what your users are complaining about is your web application being slow. Since you don't say what that application is, I can only provide general advice. Shell response is fast. The application may be slow, but we should see why (high CPU load or high I/O?) I'm guessing that PostgreSQL is the bottleneck. I'm going to first make a few general suggestions, then provide suggestions on how to isolate the problem more specifically. First off, you have 24G of RAM available and PostgreSQL only seems to have access to 400M of it. Bump shared_buffers up to 2 or 3 G at least, and bump up work_mem to at least a few hundred meg, and maintenance_work_mem up to at 1/2G or so. Good point. Changed shared_buffers to 4G, work_mem to 512M and maintenance_work_mem to 2G If the top and gstat outputs are typical, it looks like PostgreSQL is doing mostly writes, but is not significantly blocked on writes. It looks like individual PostgreSQL processes are simply taking a long time to do their work. What's in your PostgreSQL log files? If there's nothing, then bump up the logging information in your postgresql.conf. I particularly like log_min_duration_statement at 500 ... any query that takes longer than 1/2 second to execute is suspect in the types applications I work with most frequently. Thanks for that hint also. We have some programs making huge queries (once in a day or so) so I set this to 3000 for now. If your application is developed in-house, I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that there are LOTS of indexes missing and that PostgreSQL is doing lots of seq scans where it could run lots faster if it had indexes. Check also your autovacuum settings and ensure that tables are not bloating out of control due to insufficient vacuuming. You may have to vacuum full/ reindex the entire database to get things back under control, which can take a long time if it's badly bloated. Well, we have tables with 5M+ rows (table size over 4G) and we have 500+ tables. This is probably something that is out of scope - probably you cannot help with that without knowing the structure of the database and how it is used, and it would take a long time to understand. But anyway, if there is a problem with the database (not having indexes), we see heavy I/O or CPU load of the postgresql processes right? I mean, if the bottleneck is postgresql, then we should be able to see it at the OS level. Your application may also be suffering from lock contention if there are lots of table locks used. Looking at the pg_locks table while things are slow can quickly identify if this is the case, and looking at pg_stat_activity in conjunction with that table will usually narrow down the problem pretty quickly. We do not issue lock statements directly, but we use database transactions. We have a tool for checking the state of those. Most of the time, only a few open database transactions are opened, and usually we don't have locks that are not granted. Finally, if you find that PostgreSQL is the bottleneck and you can't narrow it down enough to fix, join the PostgreSQL general questions mailing list and ask for help with the same level of detail you did here. You'll find that they're an equally helpful community. I'll do that, but first let me test the new settings. Yes, thank you very much for you help.

To make it more confusing, shmall is in pages, not bytes, so you have to divide by pagesize (sysctl hw.pagesize). -Bill ___ 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 font size=1 div style='border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in' /div This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.

Subject: dhclient doesn't work over wireless
Hello,
My FreeBSD laptop is unable to get IP address over DHCP but the same
network works fine on Windows, Ubuntu and Android so I believe the
problem lies in my FreeBSD configuration and not on the router/access
point. Problem occurs only for wireless interface.
FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 with Atheros interface. Wireless networking was
working fine on that system (the same config files) until I had to
replace my wireless router.
you replaced the wireless router. Presumably this is also the wireless
'Access point', to which the laptop connects.
What are the chances that it doesn't support WPA, but *ONLY* supports WPA2?
May need to tweak the ifconfig params, and/or the supplicant 'key_mgmt' type.
My rc.conf file:
wlans_ath0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0=WPA SYNCDHCP
I'm using standard dhclient.conf file.
My wpa_supplicant.conf file:
network={
ssid=wifi
scan_ssid=1
bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
priority=9
mode=0
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
auth_alg=OPEN
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk=x
}
Now after reboot I'm geting wlan0 connection (status associated):
wlan0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11g
status: associated
ssid wifi channel 9 (2452 MHz 11g) bssid d8:5d:4c:ea:cb:ee
regdomain 103 indoor ecm authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON
deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450
bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5
protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL
But for some reason it doesn't get the IP address!
And whrn I manually try to: dhclient wlan0
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Again, other systems doesn't seem to have any trouble with getting IP
from this DHCP server and wired interface (em0) works fine too.
Any ideas please?

How do I make gtk widgets use larger fonts? I found an old linux FAQ on

I'm not sure if it will still work, but in the past,
you could create ~/.gtkrc and override settings as
you liked.
style font_1
{
font= -bh-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15
}
class * style font_1
widget * style font_1
Then replace iso8859-15 with the font encoding you
need, and of course 12 with any other font size
that fits your needs. In order to construct the font
determination string based on a visual impression and
attribute selection from lists, you can use the
% xfontsel
program.

As a result, number of connections to database also went up to 200, and the web server is now refusing clients with Cannot connect to database messages (coming from PHP). This is a classic scenario.

This slows everything down so much that there are always requests waiting for apache to process, so apache will never find any idle children to kill off. Result misery. The answer is to limit the number of child processes apache will spawn. Decide how much of your available RAM you can devote to Apache. Look at top(1) to find the maximum size apache processes grow to. The ratio of those two sizes is the maximum number of apache processes your system can support. Limiting the total number of apache processes sounds counter-intuitive. What happens when you get sufficient traffic that apache maxes out? Web queries will generally be queued up until there's an apache child free to handle them. Generally that will take from a few 10s of milliseconds on up -- although if you're regularly getting into a state where your webserver takes seconds to answer, then it's time to get more beefy hardware.
