RE: How to switch Datgram/Connected mtu modes?

How to switch Datgram/Connected mtu modes?
Hello. I work with FreeBSD 9.1 and Mellanox devices. How can I configure MTU in connected mode on FreeBSD 9.1? In Linux to enable connected mode for interface ib0, I enter: echo connected /sys/class/net/ib0/mode Switching between CM and UD mode can be done in run time: echo datagram /sys/class/net/ib0/mode sets the mode of ib0 to UD echo connected /sys/class/net/ib0/mode sets the mode ib0 to CM There is no such directories at FreeBSD. Wat shall I do? Datagram vs Connected modes The IPoIB driver supports two modes of operation: datagram and connected. The mode is set and read through an interface's /sys/class/net/intf name/mode file. In datagram mode, the IB UD (Unreliable Datagram) transport is used and so the interface MTU has is equal to the IB L2 MTU minus the IPoIB encapsulation header (4 bytes). For example, in a typical IB fabric with a 2K MTU, the IPoIB MTU will be 2048 - 4 = 2044 bytes. In connected mode, the IB RC (Reliable Connected) transport is used. Connected mode takes advantage of the connected nature of the IB transport and allows an MTU up to the maximal IP packet size of 64K, which reduces the number of IP packets needed for handling large UDP datagrams, TCP segments, etc and increases the performance for large messages. In connected mode, the interface's UD QP is still used for multicast and communication with peers that don't support connected mode. In this case, RX emulation of ICMP PMTU packets is used to cause the networking stack to use the smaller UD MTU for these neighbours.

Of course, there's always the poor man's copyright registration approach, where the moment you have something you would like to protect by copyright, you can seal it up in an envelope and mail it to yourself. Keep it sealed. If you ever need proof of copyright, including date of copyright, you can then take the sealed envelope with you to court to show the postmark date, unseal the envelope, and show the full text of the document inside. Of course, it's not *perfect*. It may be that postmarks stop being regarded as suitable proof of date at some point, thanks to increasing ability to fake a postmark. Your sealed envelope trick only works once. You need to protect that sealed envelope against loss and damage. You would need to do this for *everything* for which you want to have some kind of proof of date of copyright, which can fill up file cabinets in a hurry. This is why copyright registration is still useful. Sorry to contribute to this long thread that is only peripherally related to FreeBSD, but I have to ask -- does this trick really work? You can send yourself unsealed (or just very lightly sealed, or with manilla envelopes, just use the clasp, not the gum) envelopes whenever you like, and then insert contents seal at some later date. It seems a flimsy proof that the contents actually were in the envelope as of the postmark date. I'd be curious to find out whether courts have really accepted this, or whether it's more of an urban legend.

Search for pi spigot algorithm.
Here is a tiny C program from Jeremy Gibbon's Unbounded Spigot paper

a[52514],b,c=52514,d,e,f=1e4,g,h;main(){for(;b=c-=14;h=printf(%04d,
e+d/f))for(e=d%=f;g=--b*2;d/=g)d=d*b+f*(h?a[b]:f/5),a[b]=d%--g;}
This produces the first 15,000 digits concisely, but is obfuscated.
If you need an unbounded number of digits, search out the spigot

Without LDAP one is able to use %L, %U and %a in the logon path, but if one uses LDAP then this path is no longer processed by Samba, but instead passed literally to Windows. So far my solution is to change all LDAP entries. This also means I should name multiple servers (on different networks) with the same hostname. Its a bit more limiting the smb.conf, but it works.

Re: Objective-C 2.0 on FreeBSD; garbage collection, anyone?

I am compiling this program and running it, and without the release
calls there, it certainly is using up more and more memory every
second. Definitely no garbage collection happening. I then modified
the GNUmakefile to make sure that the option -fobjc-gc was being
passed to gcc, and verbose output from make assured me that this was
the case. However, my program sill did not garbage collect (3 gigs of
RAM, then a segfault). I then tried the gcc option -fobjc-gc-only
and gcc42 reported that it did not recognize that option. The options
are described here:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/DeveloperTools/gcc-4.0.1/gcc/Objective_002dC-and-Objective_002dC_002b_002b-Dialect-Options.html
While I am not very familiar with Objective C, I can tell you that GC
generally runs in the background, using idle time to scavenge memory.
(It's not counted pointers, synchronously freeing memory immediately.)
So if you race to allocate memory in an infinite loop like this, you are
destined to exhaust memory, GC or no, unless the runtime is designed to
force a GC on alloc in low memory conditions.
Try putting some sort of sleep in the middle of your loop and see if GC
kicks in and you get more of a sawtooth memory usage pattern.

FreeBSD's UFS vs Ext4
Hi Guys, Today I reformatted a machine (network server) thats run FreeBSD nonstop for at least the last 3 years and installed linux on it. I have a raid 0 setup with 2 hard disks in the very same machine. Previously, the maximum I could get across my gigabit enabled network was 60MB/s (megabytes) per second sustained transfer rate. Now that the same machine's raid is formatted with ext4, i am easily sustaining 86MB/s. I cant put it down to the operating system kernel, as to the vast difference in performance, i suspect it is simply ext4 thats producing the better results (I have come to this conclusion because no hardware has changed on that machine, only the OS). So can I safely conclude that ext4 is miles ahead of FreeBSD's UFS performance wise? I'd like to see some feedback.. I am by no means a linux troll. In fact I am far from it. I own many FreeBSD tshirts. I see a number of factors putting freebsd behind: * The teams stubbornness with compiler/base tools (wont move away from gcc 4.2.1 because they just cant accept the GPL2) * The teams stubbornness with the base system binutils (which cause mplayer and other multimedia applications not to build, unless a newer version is installed) * NO interest in developing new filesystems (forget ZFS), i am talking about a base filesystem, ext4 blows the socks off UFS. Using such an old compiler must have a performance impact on the OS. I say this because compilers improve over time, they generate better, tighter, more optimized code. The binutils shipped with freebsd is more than 5 years old now. It's not just my personal test that has shown that linux is ahead in numerous areas (performance wise), but the recent phoronix benchmarks that were released when FreeBSD 8 came out, were pretty damning. I'd like to see what the FreeBSD team has to say on this.

Because the box was to also be a PBX (running asterisk, instead of just being a file server/web server for running local web apps). I was continually getting coredumps with asterisk. After filing numerous bug reports and hitting dead ends with the asterisk devs, I had enough, because none of them knew how to debug the problem under freebsd, I got fed up and moved the box over to linux, and to my surprise, no more core dumps.

I say this because compilers improve over time, they generate better, tighter, more optimized code. The binutils shipped with freebsd is more than 5 years old now. A codes age has nothing to do with it's performance. Clearly you know nothing about how compilers generate and optimize code. If this isnt a problem, why would new versions of gcc and binutils continue to surface. Well I can see three obvious reasons, improved code generation, bug fixes, new features.

Re: FreeBSD's UFS vs Ext4
Pieter de Goeje wrote: The fact that the limit is 86MB/sec (which is very low for a raid0 array) makes me think the box suffers from sub optimal network performance during a simple stream test like yours. This could be due to FreeBSD having a poor network driver for your particular NIC or could be due to insufficient tuning of the TCP parameters for this particular test. Hi Pieter. You are right about there being a number of possibilities, however: *The same machine, which over the years has had a number of revisions of freebsd on it (have buildworlded the thing from 7- 7.1 - 7.2 - 8), the performance was always roughly the same amongst the versions, I dont agree with the possibility of the ftp server being 'slow' as I am the only person who copies data to that machine, and the machine is always under a very low (almost non existent) load. * Network card is an Intel Pro 1000, on the server. This is a PCI card (not pci-e), so I believe PCI bus bandwidth limitations may be responsible for me not being able to achieve the maximum 100MB/s network rate (as you mention that 86MB/s is slow for raid0) * The intel network card driver on freebsd and linux are both fairly rock solid and well written. I dont see it being an issue with NIC drivers (they are not vastly different). * Both OS's were stock standard installs, no jumbo frames enabled, no fiddling with sysctl network values. I am happy with 86MB/s anyway, It's a huge improvement of the 60MB/s barrier I could never get past when that machine was running FreeBSD. To get the rest of the speed, I'd probably have to install a pci-e card on the server. I do suspect personally that the ext4 filesystem is the reason for the difference here, since ext4 has a number of features such as deferred disk writes etc. Even deleting a large file off that raid array I can see a difference, prior to reformatting, i deleted a 190GB file off the raid, under UFS the delete took quite some time (well over 10 seconds), under ext4 the deletion of the same size file took about 3 seconds. But what I said with ext4 being faster then the aging UFS still rings true in my mind, look at the recent Phoronix benchmarks for yourself and see (10 pages of benchmarks). http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=freebsd8_benchmarksnum=1 (skip to page 7 of the benchmarks if you want to see the I/O stuff relating to disk performance) ___ 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

I am looking to setup a small file server which I will use as DNS and NTP server also. The reason for selecting FreeBSD is that the system I about to install onto doesn't have much memory (not sure how much but probably in the region of 300-500MB perhaps) and although Linux would definitely suite this kind of system as Solaris needs round 2GB or so for OpenSolaris, I am quite interested to learn FreeBSD but also take advantage of the ZFS file system which is standard now in version 8. I would stick with UFS of UFS2. The latter if you don't intent to share them with *BSD. As I understand ZFS uses quite a lot more resources. If I wanted to something with RAID I might still use it, but even so still would use UFS to the system slices. If you low on disk space you can reduce this. I have used 256M for / in the past but would advise against this. You would need something like 8G for /usr. But may need to raise that by 5G if you build ports. I have larger /temp of 7G, but also build ports there. If you build Java it would need a least 4G. I won't be installing a GUI on this machine since it is going to be a server so I would like to know if BSD has a small footprint memory and CPU wise for me to run on the machine in question which is a PIV? It's not a problem. The footprint depends more on the ports you like to run. Also just to make sure: NFS, Samba, NTPd, and ISC's Bind are all supported on FreeBSD aren't they??

b. f. wrote: Our base system compiler suite is stuck at a patched version of gcc 4.2 because of licensing issues Thats absolutely *ridiculous* that we have to use stone age development tools because of stupid and trivial license politics. This matter was also bought up in a recent thread by myself regarding binutils, seeing that the version of binutils that ships with freebsd is incapable of compiling applications like mplayer on amd64. Is this the reason why people are pushing for llvm, just to avoid the GPL license type of later releases of the gnu c compiler and tools? Thats really sad. llvm has a long way to go before it can be considered a worthy competitor against gcc. The newer versions of gcc probably produce better code than the ancient version shipped with freebsd.

Why is that? /usr/src/UPDATING says: When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade.

ipfw breaking smtp conversations
Hi List, I'm having trouble with mail deliveries. I'm getting lots of error messages like: timeout writing message to mx3.comcast.net.: Broken pipe timeout writing message to mailserver2.telmex.net.co.: Resource temporarily unavailable After looking elsewhere I decided to try changing my ipfw.rules - the problems went away immediately. Unfortunately, the change caused http connections from outside to stall mid-conversation. So I changed it back. But I'm clearly doing something wrong. Here is what my network looks like (fairly basic): Direct to Internet ^ | Dual-Homed Host (em0 external interface) NAT,DHCP (sk0 internal interface) | v Internal LAN Here are my current rules: #!/bin/sh IPFW=ipfw -q add ipfw -q -f flush $IPFW 10 allow all from any to any via sk0 $IPFW 20 allow all from any to any via lo0 $IPFW 30 divert natd ip from any to any in via em0 $IPFW 50 check-state $IPFW 60 skipto 500 all from any to any out via em0 setup keep-state $IPFW 70 allow all from any to me in via em0 setup limit src-addr 50 $IPFW 500 divert natd ip from any to any out via em0 $IPFW 600 allow ip from any to any $IPFW 800 deny all from any to any Here are the rules that fixed smtp, but broke http: #!/bin/sh IPFW=/sbin/ipfw -q add ipfw -q -f flush $IPFW 990 divert natd ip from any to any in via em0 $IPFW 995 divert natd ip from any to any out via em0 $IPFW 1000 allow tcp from any to any established $IPFW 1010 allow all from any to any via em0 $IPFW 1020 allow all from any to any via sk0 $IPFW 1030 allow all from any to any via lo0 $IPFW 1050 allow tcp from any to any out $IPFW 1060 allow udp from any to any out $IPFW 1070 allow udp from any to any frag $IPFW 1090 allow ip from any to any $IPFW deny all from any to any Somewhere between these two sets is the right thing, but I'm not certain where to look. In english, here is what (I think) I'm trying to do: Allow all incoming traffic on all ports on em0 Allow all outbound traffic on all ports on em0 Divert incoming NAT'd packets on em0 to sk0 Divert outbound NAT'd packets on sk0 to em0 Thanks, Alex ___ 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: restore(8)ing new / -- boots on metal but not in a VM
2009/10/14 Tim Judd taj...@gmail.com: My suggestion is to check the VM config and see if you can emulate an IDE ad(4) device instead of the possible SCSI da(4) device that vmware/virtualbox may setup. I'm almost positive (not 100% because I don't have either one of those installed at the moment) that both those products default to a SCSI device. Both are capable of emulating IDE, and both can offer something that FreeBSD uses the da driver for (SATA for Vbox, SCSI for Vmware). I've tested with both ad and da drives on both solutions. Creating a dump image fresh in a VM gives me a file I can restore from and boot successfully in VMs. I haven't tested physical machines yet -- if I can boot physical machines off this new dump file my problems are solved. If not... At this point it seems simplest to produce a few different versions of my dump image. Chances there's just something different in the first few sectors of the disk, but having a single dump image and multiple first sectors for the image seems more complex overall.

restore(8)ing new / -- boots on metal but not in a VM
Hi all, A little background: I'm writing a script that will allow me to restore(8) a standard FreeBSD partition to multiple machines. So far, I'm at the 'see if it works in principle' stage, and I'm finding something strange. My procedure: * Start with an empty hard drive (ad0). * Boot off the FreeBSD CD, enter the live CD filesystem shell (Fixit - Live CD Filesystem) * Create a single slice with fdisk that spans the entire disk (fdisk -i /dev/ad0) * Create a single partition with bsdlabel that spans the entire slice (bsdlabel -w /dev/ad0s1) * Install the FreeBSD Boot Loader (boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0) * Format and restore the dumpfile (newfs /dev/ad0s1a mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt cd /mnt ssh storagebox dd if=home/aj/image.dump | restore -rvf - * Unmount /mnt and restart. The steps work fine... on physical hardware. The restored image boots up fine. As a VM guest, running in either VMWare or VirtualBox, it don't work. Everything appears to go fine, but when I get to the boot loader, pressing F1 just makes the PC speaker beep at me. Any pointers would be appreciated. I'm using FreeBSD 6.4.

Re: restore(8)ing new / -- boots on metal but not in a VM
2009/10/13 Tim Judd taj...@gmail.com: Is the virtual machine using SCSI emulation to boot, or is it using IDE? SCSI drives are da(4), IDE drives are ata(4) [aka ad(4)] The dump was taken from an ad0 device on physical hardware, and I'm attempting to restore to the same, just on virtual hardware. If the boot blocks (maybe boot0 specific) point to an ad/ata device, and the virtual machine is SCSI, it won't find the boot sectors. So, if I make a dumpfile of / on an ad(4) device, I can't restore it to a da(4) device and expect it to boot? I guess at minimum I'll need two copies of this image if I want to roll it out on machines with both sorts of drive, right?

Basically I have csup'd my source tree on a freshly installed 7.2-RELEASE/amd64 box (tracking the 7.2-RELEASE branch). make buildworld -- works ok. make buildkernel KERNCONF=custom -- works ok make installkernel KERNCONF=custom -- works ok Boot into single user mode and do the usual things (mount filesystems etc), mergemaster -p -- works ok. make installworld -- FAIL After a minute of installworld running, it dies with this error. btxld -v -E 0x2000 -f bin -b /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/../btx/btx/btx -l boot2.ldr -o boot2.ld -P 1 boot2.bin btxld:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2. *** Error code 1 I have WITHOUT_LIB32 defined in my /etc/src.conf (even undefining this and doing a buildworld from scratch didn't fix it), I also have NO_PROFILE turned on in my /etc/make.conf (as suggested by the FreeBSD handbook on improving build times - has never caused me a problem in the past) Apart from that, everything on the system is stock standard. I did Google this error, but found no definitive solution, one post I found suggested that perhaps the system time/date is wrong or that adjkerntz -i was missed after entering single user mode. This is not the case for me. Time and date is correct while in single or multi user mode. Any ideas on what is causing this problem? I am in the process of deleting /usr/src and completely csup'ing the source tree from scratch, and will try another rebuild, however I am skeptical this will fix anything. Any ideas/suggestions welcomed. Thanks!

Hm, that is not good imho. Smells like hardware fault. I ran memtest86 on this system for about 6 hours and after about 20 passes, no errors reported. Memory is only one system component. A processor/disk may be overheated, coolers stopped, etc. A very good test is make world (one after another several times). Shouldn't be a heating issue, the case has fans galore in it, the thermal side of things look ok from what I can see :) It's one of the recent gigabyte motherboards that uses DDR3 memory. I did find a setting in the BIOS that had a title of DRAM performance enhance, it was set to turbo by default, I have set it back to standard in case that was causing stability issues (the machine is not overclocked). I have also gone back to the i386 release instead of amd64. Done a build world and have built several ports, no core dumps or unexplained phenomena as of yet (fingers crossed). though if the system starts to act up again, I will be sending the motherboard back! Off topic, it wouldn't be a first time that the amd64 release has presented odd issues. I have a machine with an Intel desktop board with a core duo cpu in it (EMT64 capable) with 4GB of DDR3 memory, freebsd 7/amd64 or freebsd 8/amd64 refuse to boot. On that machine, it just page faults during the kernel init (had a PR open for over a year now, going nowhere), however the i386 release of freebsd boots ok. 64 bit linux works perfectly on that board. It's a bit of a hit and miss thing these days with motherboards and open source operating systems. I've generally had a good run with FreeBSD on Gigabyte hardware.

Multiple emails to Percival went unanswered, and when I later asked about it on this list, the only response was a suggestion to upgrade via source. (Thanks for the suggestion, by the way -- I think I'll rather do that to stay up to date once I get caught up.) Based upon my experience and the apparent lack of current support, I would not recommend using these tools for binary updates, especially in an automated fashion. If I get some spare time and inclination, I may try to diagnose what went wrong with the freebsd-update script, but more likely will end up doing a clean install of 7.2-RELEASE from ISO onto a new drive, and migrate everything over.

Problem w/ 6.0 - 7.2 update
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask these questions. I emailed this to Colin Percival a few weeks ago and heard nothing back, so I figured I'd ask here. Alex - Hi, I tried to upgrade my system from 6.0-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE today, using the procedure described on your blog page FreeBSD major version upgrades: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-11-freebsd-major-version-upgrade.html I had previously pulled down the tarball of the updated freebsd-update script, exploded it, compared the hash. Today I started a script to capture the output, ran $ sudo sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.2-RELEASE upgrade and watched it pulled down files, helped it merge, etc., then hit spacebar repeatedly as it went through printing a long list of files. Next thing I knew, it had exited back to the shell prompt. I wasn't expecting that, probably because I didn't read your page closely enough. Anyhow, I ran the upgrade command a second time (I think that's OK?) and it basically did the same thing, but this time I reread your instructions and saw that I needed to follow up with: $ sudo sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install So I did that, and did a reboot when it told me to. Reboot failed -- no kernel. I eventually recovered from this by booting the the FreeBSD 6.0 install CD, going to shell prompt, mounting the root filesystem and copying kernel and *.ko from the CD back into /boot/kernel. Then I started to look at what went wrong, looking through freebsd-update.sh, trying to figure out what it does, and sure enough I see, comparing INDEX-OLD and INDEX-NEW that it shows the kernel and *.ko getting removed and not replaced (also I can see this reviewing the script output of the long set of files add/removed/modified.) At this point I am tempted to do a rollback before proceeding any further, but am not sure if having copied the files manually back in to /boot/kernel is going to cause problems with rollback. It's also not clear to me whether using freebsd-update.sh is the right approach for upgrading from 6.0-RELEASE to 7.2-RELEASE, or if I should follow some alternate approach, like booting the 7.2 CD and doing a binary upgrade from there? Anyhow, if you can advise me on these issues of whether the rollback should work OK and what approach you recommend to proceed, I'd appreciate it. I'll be happy to send any files, including the script output, if you like. It seems more efficient to ask you rather than to continue digging deeper deeper in the shell script and all its accompanying patch files, etc. Thanks, Alex Stangl ___ 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

RAID Gone Wild - One Array Split Into Two
First off, I realize that this may be more of a lower-level hardware question than is appropriate to ask here, but I'm at a real loss, and have no idea who else to ask...so I apologize in advance if I'm being a pest. That said: I've got a FreeBSD 7.0/stable box that is used as the development server for a live system I administer. It recently crapped out on me (the dev box), and I realized that its power supply had kicked the bucket. After going out and replacing the power supply, it booted right back up, I ssh'd in, and when I ran my first userland command - w, FWIW - it froze up solid. I got one more SSH session in attempting to figure out WTF was going on before it wouldn't even log me in any more. After a couple of hard reboots, I decided to attach a monitor to it to see what was going on. It turns out that the RAID5 array on the system had really lost its mind - all four devices that were part of the array were listed as being offline, which of course meant that the system could no longer boot (as it was booting off of the RAID). The controller is an integrated Intel Matrix DHC7R, built onto the motherboard. I looked around the web a bit to try to figure out how to fix this, and ran across a couple of forum posts (which I can unfortunately no longer seem to find) suggesting that this particular controller was prone to an issue where hard power-downs would sometimes make the drives go offline, and that I needed to boot from CD to re-initialize them into their previous state. I tried first with an Ubuntu Linux CD I had handy - which promptly freaked out and dropped me into an emergency shell - and then the FreeBSD 7.0 boot-only disc. The latter was a bit more helpful, because I got this diagnostic: ar0: WARNING - parity protection lost, RAID5 array in DEGRADED mode ar0: 715418MB Intel MatrixRAID RAID5 (stripe 64KB) status: DEGRADED ar0: disk0 READY using ad4 at ata2-master ar0: disk1 READY using ad8 at ata4-master ar0: disk2 READY using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk3 DOWN no device found for this subdisk ar1: 715418MB Intel MatrixRAID RAID5 (stripe 64KB) status: BROKEN ar1: disk0 DOWN no device found for this subdisk ar1: disk1 DOWN no device found for this subdisk ar1: disk2 DOWN no device found for this subdisk ar1: disk3 READY using ad10 at ata5-master Now I can see that my problem is that I've somehow got *two* RAID devices, both improperly configured, whereas I'd only had one before. Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this, preferably while retaining my data? I could wipe the box if necessary, but I'd really prefer not to, as that would be a huge pain in the butt.
