However: I'm using UFS, not ZFS, so the first part is not applicable. I have an nfe card, not an em; so again, the second part does not apply. The only tunable in that driver is hw.nfe.msi_disable and hw.nfe.msix_disable, which I never tried; I guess I could when I have physical access to the box, but again, they are enabled by default and I doubt I would get better performance by disabling MSI[-X]. In addition, I don't think I suffer from a NIC bottleneck, given the speed of NFS and a "find" shouldn't read the whole files, so shouldn't require a lot of bandwidth. The third section is interesting: still no change, however. This does not suprise me, since I had extensively tried these (and other settings from several Samba howtos) with different values in the past, the difference being always quite negligible. The last thing I'm considering is slowness due to the LDAP backend. This is what I'm currently investigating. All the literature on Samba seems to be quite Linux-centric; that's why I asked on the FreeBSD mailing list whether this could be normal. bye & Thanks av. ___ 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"

Possibly OT: NFS vs SMB performance
Hello. Sorry to ask here: maybe it's not the best place, but it might be a start (the client and server are both FreeBSD). The server exports the same directory via NFS and via SMB. I'd expect some performance penalty when using SMB, but: "find /nfs_mounted_dir >/dev/null" takes more or less 1 minute; "find /smb_mounted_dir >/dev/null" takes nearly 10 minutes. Is this normal in your experience? bye & Thanks av. ___ 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"
Stop SMTP attack with pam_abl
Hello. I have different sendmail based servers deployed and all of them are, more or less frequently, subject to dictionary attacks.

Anyway, I have not seen any troubles with 64bit installations. Ilya. How does the system know what is OS and what is 32-bit apps? I think this question is badly written. A kernel supporting PAE can see and use more than 4GB. However, since apps runs unmodified, a single process cannot break that barrier. So, if you are running a single program that requires that lot of memory, PAE is not an option and you will need amd64. OTOH, if you run several programs which don't singularly require more than 3GB of RAM, PAE might be a viable alternative to reinstalling. Where would GCC fit in this regard, or Clang for that matter?

If you dont have full ports tree in the jail then no need for portaudit in the jail. Portaudit doesn't check the port tree; it checks installed ports. Best practices is not to create a jail environment by hand as documented in the Freebsd handbook. The port utility qjail simplifies and automates the process to the point where you dont even have to know about the jail command. http://qjail.sourceforge.net/ use the port version for 8.x & 9.0 I've had a look at qjail; it seems very simliar to ezjails, which I used (I didn't do jails by hand). bye & Thanks av. ___ 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"

Best practices about Jails
Hello. Plase forgive the long post and the amount of questions, but I'm new to jails and I'd like to be sure of what I'm doing before deploying more than a test one. Right now I need to run a commercial Java app, which, ideally, I would forbid to access files outside its directory. This might be done by simple chrooting it, but I read a jail is a better solution, so I started with ezjails. First of all, I'm wondering whether it would be possible/useful to use chroot even inside that jail. Any opinions? Second question: from inside the jail I can access all services on localhost (eg. telnet localhost pop3, where a pop3 server is running on the host). Can this be avoided, e.g. with ipfw? Ideally, since this jail will run only one deamon and it will be accessed through Apache mod_proxy from the host, I'll just need inbound access to its port and outbound access to smtp and web proxy on the host system. No direct access from/to other hosts. Is this possible? Next... ezjail's author suggests I have a copy of the port tree just for the jails and, furthermore, a repository for distfiles for every jail. Since this would waste a lot of space, I already used a single distfile repository, but I'm also wondering whether it would be a bad idea to use the host's port tree. I know lot of people do this and, keeping it tidy with portsclean -CD, I wonder if it really would be a security risk in my case. Finally (for now :): I usually install portaudit and receive every day a report about vulnerabilities in the host system's installed ports. What about jails? Should I install portaudit there too and let them flood me with reports? Is there a way to let the host's portaudit check jails too? I'm sure I'll have other questions in some days... Thanks in advance for now to anyone who will answer. bye av. ___ 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"

The only way to be sure is to look at the datasheet for the drive. If the drives are SMART capable, you can always load Smart Monitoring Tools (/usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools) and have it report the make and model of the drive. Just be careful, the report from the SMART data will more than likely show the drive as 512 Logical and Physical access (Even if they are not) So: the specs, smartctl and diskinfo all say sectors are 512 bytes.

ATA trouble again
Hello. This is a follow-up of a previous thread, which can be found here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-July/232257.html I finally have two working WD Green drives: they have run severel times for more than a few days continuosly and I've run their full diags a few times over a span of some weeks, so I think I can be sure of that. Still I experience lot of troubles; however, trying different boxes, I found out that these depend heavily on the controller I use. A) A-Bit KV7 (featuring a VIA KT600) on 7.3 and 8.2/i386 With only one disk, I get some NID_NOT_FOUND errors, but I could almost say they can be ignored. With two disks, the NID_NOT_FOUND errors come frequently; rsync will work, but a "diff" will sooner or later fail. I tried Linux on this box: it frequently complains about errors and resets the ATA channels; this possibly will result in performance penalties, but it seems to work. Since then this box is dead, so I cannot do other tests. B) BioStar A785G3 with 8.1/i386: # pciconf -lv atapci0@pci0:0:17:0:class=0x010601 card=0x43911002 chip=0x43911002 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc. / Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.' device = 'SB700 SATA Controller [AHCI mode]' class = mass storage subclass = SATA This works flawlessly. C) Intel SC5400BRP with 7.3/i386: atapci2@pci0:0:31:2:class=0x01018f card=0x34768086 chip=0x26808086 rev=0x09 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '631xESB/632xESB/3100 Serial ATA Storage Controller' class = mass storage subclass = ATA No way this will work: using two disk gives gobs of errors, until the whole box crashes. With only one disk it appears to work for a while, but will eventually panic over a few day. This same controller used to work with a single Hitachi drive. With two Seagates drives, I get READ_DMA48/WRITE_DMA48 timeouts, the disks will hang for minutes, but then they will start again; this does not happen as soon as I start using them, but will happen every some minutes after a few hours of usage. D) Intel SC5600BRP with 7.3/amd64: atapci0@pci0:0:31:2:class=0x01018f card=0x34dc8086 chip=0x3a208086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'SATA2(4Port2) (ICH10 Family)' class = mass storage subclass = ATA atapci1@pci0:0:31:5:class=0x010185 card=0x34dc8086 chip=0x3a268086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'SATA2(2Port2) (ICH10 Family)' class = mass storage subclass = ATA This works flawlessly, with every HD I could try (one or two). E) Promise PCI controller with 7.3/i386 and /amd64: atapci0@pci0:7:2:0: class=0x018000 card=0x3d17105a chip=0x3d17105a rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Promise Technology Inc' device = 'SATA 300 TX4 Controller (PDC40718-GP)' class = mass storage This will give few errors if not none at all; however the box will sometimes reboot or just hang (phisical reset required). This happens on two different box with both WD Green and Seagate drives. So: altough a bit flaky, WD drives are not the main problem. I'll still appreciate some help WRT the third box (Intel SC5400BRP with 7.3/i386). Different BIOS settings did not help with WD drives, but I still have to test them with Seagate's. Possibly an OS upgrade would help? 8.x also has an AHCI driver that 7.3 is missing. I don't care that much for top of the chart performance, I just want this thing to work decently. bye & Thanks av. ___ 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"

In case anyone is interested, now that I have a test box up and running, I'm willing to try anything fancy. I now avoid WD caviar green completely. That's what I'll do in the future. However, I've seen posts reporting this kind of troubles with other brands too. As for SMART test, I would not believe them, SATA drives tends to silently remap bad blocks, leaving SMART counters untouched. I know; I'll run WD's diag tools from time to time. A long time ago Scott Long offered to help track this problem, you might want to contact him and see whether he found something. I'm CCing him. bye & Thanks av. P.S.

ATA troubles
(Sorry for the previous post, I accidentally hit sent, while the messages was still unfinished). Hello everyone. For those interested, this post is a sequel of: http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/freebsd-questions%40freebsd.org/2011-06/msg00018.html However, I'll summarize. At the beginning of June, I installed two WD 1TB Caviar Green SATA drives into an Intel-S5000-based production box of mine and it was hell! This server runs 7.3/i386 off a SAS RAID and the two new drives should have worked with gstripe to constitute a secondary storage. I started getting: ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SMART taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad8: WARNING - SMART taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad8: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly ad4: WARNING - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE taskqueue timeout - completing request directly and the box would reboot within minutes. This also prevented me from running tests with smartctl. Notice the box had previously a single SATA drive working perfectly. It was suggested I ran wdidle.exe from DOS to prevent the drives from spinning down and it helped: now I was at least able to fsck the stripe and copy something on it. Still I keep getting the above messages; the drives would also occasionally hang and then restart. Uptime raised to some hours, but the box would still reboot. In the meantime the drives went bad (smartd, BIOS and WD-tools proven) and I had them replaced. When they came back, I decided to put up a test box: hardware is completely different from the production box, but still FreeBSD will run from a SCSI drive and the two WD will constitute an additional stripe. First I run WD tools to check the driver and they passed every test (including long one). So I installed FreeBSD 7.3/i386, smartctl and verified the disks again. I created the stripe, fscked it, and copied about 420GB of data via rsync over NFS. It seemed to work fine, but, after about 15 hours, the box rebooted after: ad6: FAILURE - device detached g_vfs_done():stripe/backup[WRITE(offset=1709926940672, length=131072)]error = 6 /mnt/local: got error 6 while accessing filesystem panic: softdep_deallocate_dependencies: unrecovered I/O error Subsequent retries always gave the same results, until I disabled softupdates on the stripe.

I've followed Bruce's suggestion, booting the server into plain old DOS,
running wdidle3.exe and "turning off" the idle timer.
What the utility really says is that the timer gets set to a larger
value (something more than an hour) IIRC.
Anyway I was then able to newfs the disks and try and use them.

Critical issues with WD green drives
Hello. In a server of mine (7.3p4/i386) I replaced a 1TB Hitachi SATA drive (which worked perfectly), with two brand new Western Digital 2TB disks. Now I'm having critical problems, ranging from the disks getting stuck, to the box rebooting. Those are not the main disks in the box, so they are currently unmounted; I wasn't even able to run newfs on them, since every process that tries to use these disk will hang after a while (and can't be killed either). The box is based on an Intel S5000 motherboard and the drives are attached on the MB in an hot-swap enclosure. First, what I think might be the relevant part of dmesg: FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p4 #1: Wed Dec 15 11:53:13 CET 2010 r...@x..xx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X i386 Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz (2004.99-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x10676 Stepping = 6 Features=0xbfebfbff Features2=0xce33d AMD Features=0x2010 AMD Features2=0x1 Cores per package: 4 real memory = 2143289344 (2044 MB) avail memory = 2090176512 (1993 MB) ACPI APIC Table: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 4 CPUs ... acpi0: on motherboard acpi0: [ITHREAD] acpi0: Power Button (fixed) acpi0: reservation of 0, a (3) failed Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x408-0x40b on acpi0 acpi_hpet0: iomem 0xfed0-0xfed003ff on acpi0 Timecounter "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 900 acpi_button0: on acpi0 acpi_button1: on acpi0 pcib0: port 0xca2,0xca3,0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: on pcib0 pcib1: at device 2.0 on pci0 pci1: on pcib1 pcib2: irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 pci2: on pcib2 pcib3: irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 pci3: on pcib3 pcib4: at device 0.0 on pci3 pci4: on pcib4 ... pcib5: at device 0.2 on pci3 pci5: on pcib5 pcib6: irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci2 pci6: on pcib6 ... pcib7: at device 0.3 on pci1 pci7: on pcib7 ... pcib8: at device 3.0 on pci0 pci8: on pcib8 pcib9: at device 4.0 on pci0 pci9: on pcib9 pcib10: at device 5.0 on pci0 pci10: on pcib10 pcib11: at device 6.0 on pci0 pci11: on pcib11 pcib12: at device 7.0 on pci0 pci12: on pcib12 pci0: at device 8.0 (no driver attached) pcib13: irq 16 at device 28.0 on pci0 pci13: on pcib13 ... pcib14: at device 30.0 on pci0 pci14: on pcib14 ... atapci1: port 0x40d8-0x40df,0x40f4-0x40f7,0x40d0-0x40d7,0x40f0-0x40f3,0x4020-0x403f mem 0xb900-0xb90003ff irq 20 at device 31.2 on pci0 atapci1: [ITHREAD] atapci1: AHCI called from vendor specific driver atapci1: AHCI Version 01.10 controller with 6 ports detected ata2: on atapci1 ata2: [ITHREAD] ata3: on atapci1 ata3: [ITHREAD] ata4: on atapci1 ata4: [ITHREAD] ata5: on atapci1 ata5: [ITHREAD] ata6: on atapci1 ata6: [ITHREAD] ata7: on atapci1 ata7: [ITHREAD] ... ad4: 1907729MB at ata2-master SATA300 ad8: 1907729MB at ata4-master SATA300 ...

I've used a 3TB gstripe on amd64, but now I'd like to gstripe two 2TB HDs on a i386. Will that work? bye & Thanks av. ___ 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"

X resolution
Hello. I've configured my X to use a 1600x1200 resolution (or so I thought...). It used to work until the last X.Org upgrade; after that it *usually* worked: very rarely it would start at 2048x1536, but a couple of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace was normally enough. Since a couple of day, it always start at 2048x1536, and there is no way to get 1600x1200 unless I login and change resolution afterwards (which is however enought to mess all my KDE fonts up). I've got this in my xorg.conf: Section "Screen" Identifier "SyncMaster" Device "Card0" Monitor"SyncMaster" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 32 Modes "1600x1200" EndSubSection EndSection Is it ok?
