6.2-6.4 network oddities
Hi all Just tried to do a 6.2-6.4 upgrade using the freebsd-update.sh script from http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz. However i got really odd network things going on, main one seems to be lo0 doesn't get it's ip-address. Other things like syslogd don't start or indeed namedb. The nameservers in resolv.conf don't get queried after the first nameserver entry. anyone seem anythign like this before. Googling doesn't provide any obvious results. I've restoring to 6.2 before the users come in, but any pointers would be helpful for the near future when I try and build a test server to do this again. -- Martin Hepworth Oxford, UK ___ 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: Hosting Server Load
Very much depends. Load ave is a measure of the number of processes waiting for resource (CPU, Network, disk etc). Ie a rough measure of how 'busy' the server is. I've seem modern kit with load averages of over 30 with no problems with responsiveness at all. It's all down to what the processes are actually doing rather than how 'busy' the machine is. -- martin On Dec 27, 2007 4:33 PM, Grant Peel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Just wondering what kind of load most hosters consider reasonable.

Re: Netatalk
Beg to differ on the AFP vs samb issues from what we use at work using a mixed environment (*nix, windoze and Mac's). the filetyping goes alot better using smb than appletalk with MacOS X, and smb will use encrypted passwds (however poorly encoded) by default, and even SMB is alot faster than AFP which is horrible slow.

If you read the rest of this, you may think that I'm trying to implement something way too heavyweight for what I need at the moment, and you'd be right!

OK, so here's where I am: 8 users 3 or 4 Windows machines including a laptop - users may use any/all of these New FreeBSD server so far only operating as a Samba server (PDC). Email is downloaded by individual clients from ISP via POP3 - user must be at specific machine to access their local mail folders. If elsewhere, they must use webmail, but of course sent messages, replied flags etc are then inconsistent, besides which messages are only left on the (ISP) server for a limited time. Here is where I want to get to: IMAP server on my FreeBSD box (and using Maildir is my instinctive preference.) Ultimately, but not yet, I want to start using the FreeBSD machine as a proper mailserver - i.e. get a static IP address and point the MX record hosted by my provider at it. For now though I am happy to fetch from the existing mailboxes that they host for me. Again, not necessarily now, but when I am fully up and running, run spam and virus checking (that's done for me now, but inevitably could be improved on.) What I _think_ I want to do is this: Install Fetchmail to get mail from my various hosted mailboxes Configure Sendmail, which I accepted as the default mailer Install Procmail to deliver messages in Maildir format (to users' home directories?) Install Courier IMAP as the IMAP server I'd suggest dovecot over courier. Courier's not exactly under active development Ultimately, then drop Fetchmail and reconfigure Sendmail for receiving mail directly, and add anti- spam and virus tools. Have I got this about right? Do I really need 4 separate tools to do this? Have I overlooked something more obvious/elegant? Where are my big pitfalls going to be? IF you can just redirect the MX record it's easiest to get everything working first them the fetchmail won't need to run for long after you've moved DNS records. Depends if you can do this. yes you will need some sort of anti spam.

Re: RAID Performance Questions
Milo if you hunt around you should see papers/articles where it shows foe RAID 5 you need at least 5 drives before you any dramatic performance gains..(sun old Sun articles from around 1998 where they do the math as well). not sure about RAID 10, but again I *think* you need at least 3 drives in the stripe before you start hitting gains. To best test I'd put ALL the SATA drives into the RAID 5 or RAID 10 array and then see what happens. -- Martin On 1/25/07, Milo Hyson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't really have a whole lot of experience with RAID, so I was wondering if the performance figures I'm seeing are normal or if I just need to tweak things a bit. Based on what I've been reading, I would expect more significant improvements over a single drive. Here's my setup: * FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p22 * AMD Athlon 2200+ * 512 MB RAM * 3ware 9500S-8 RAID controller * 8 x Maxtor 7Y250M0 drives (SATA150 - 250 GB each) * 1 x UDMA100 system drive I'm using a trimmed-down but otherwise stock kernel (see below). The array is configured as two units: a three-drive RAID 5 and a four- drive RAID 10. Both units have been fully initialized and verified. No errors or warnings are being issued by the controller -- everything is green. Using bonnie I get the following results with a 1.5 GB file: ---Sequential Output ---Sequential Input-- --Random-- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks--- MachineMB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec % CPU /sec %CPU single 1536 42229 45.1 44379 19.4 17227 7.7 40819 41.6 44772 12.1 141.1 0.7 raid51536 21812 22.8 21876 8.7 12935 5.9 47283 48.3 61998 17.0 152.8 0.8 raid10 1536 21905 23.0 21999 8.6 14878 6.7 49036 50.1 64847 17.7 130.6 0.7 The write times of both RAID configurations are slower than the single drive (which is expected due to having to write to multiple drives). However, I wasn't expecting such a drastic reduction (about 50%). The read times, although faster, are only marginally so in per- char transfer. They're a bit better in block performance, but still not what I would expect. It would seem to me that a read spread across four drives should see more than a 45% performance increase. The highest rate recorded here is only a quarter of the PCI bus- speed, so I doubt that's a bottleneck. CPU load peaks at 50%, so I don't see that being a problem either. I also ran some performance tests with a stock build of PostgreSQL 8.0 to get a different angle on things. Two tests were run on each of the UDMA system drive, the RAID 5 unit, and the RAID 10 unit. The first tested sequential-scans through a 58,000+ record table. The second tested random index-scans of the same table. These were read- only tests -- no write tests were performed. The results are as follows: Unit Seq/secIndex/sec -- single 0.550 2048.983 raid5 0.533 2063.900 raid10 0.533 2093.283 Any performance benefit of RAID in these tests is almost nonexistent.

Re: How to configure switching between network interfaces?

A bit more money, but simpler and I like simple. -- Martin On 12/31/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How to configure switching between network interfaces? I would like to determine how, or if, the following can be accomplished with FreeBSD. Configuration: A BSD box setup with 1 GbE NIC and a 4 port 10/100 NIC The GbE interface will have a static IP configured (192.168.10.x/24) Planned Implementation: Along with possibly serving other data such as NFS or HTTP traffic, I would like the interfaces to work as a switch. The GbE interface is a fiber optic NIC which connects to the rest of the network 100 or so meters away. I plan to use the other 4 interfaces to attach hosts to my network. I would prefer all of my hosts to be on the same subnet if possible, otherwise I would just configure routing between the appropriate interfaces. My question then is: Can the interfaces be configured to function as a switch would, allowing the connected hosts to recieve DHCP and other traffic routing from the fiber optic interface via the FreeBSD box. I know that in a basic configuration, 2 interfaces on the same subnet are not a best practice and would required special routing information. I assume that somewhere this can be configured. A good shove in the right direction would be most appreciated.

The question this all pivots on is will 8M of cache be a significant improvement? If not, then we're going with the dual-core CPUs.

I've got 3 different clusters available for testing, but I'm not sure how to tell if the cache is getting used heavily or not. I've already determined that the database server is CPU-bound under our test load. With high-speed SCSI disks and battery-backed RAID, there's not enough IO to stress the disk subsystem. RAM is almost a non-issue. With the machine stressed at full load, it's only using 1/8 of the available RAM. So, my current bottleneck is CPU power. And the boss has asked me for the best way to overcome this bottleneck. We're looking at either the same CPUs we already have, but with _huge_ caches (8m) - or going with more CPUs by getting true dual-core pentiums. The question this all pivots on is will 8M of cache be a significant improvement? If not, then we're going with the dual-core CPUs. What I'd like is some way to take an existing system and determine how often the cache is getting invalidated, so I can make some guesstemate as to whether more cache will help or not. -- martin On 4/24/06, Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been asked to make some hardware recommendations, I'm hoping some folks on the list can make some suggestions.

(Sorry, that's the consultant in me coming out) It does seem like you want whatever you use to do it in the same way that it's currently being done, so why change? In particular, your (2) above is an area of little consensus; about the only thing most people agree on is that spammers should have *some* body part removed, but we can't even agree which one, much less exactly how to handle their um, product. Some argue that spam should not be processed by your MTA at all; this has resulted in blacklisting and greylisting. Others figure that an automatic trashing of the spam after receipt is OK. First, decide which you are/want to be. Sendmail has, IIRC, a built in way to check RealTime blackhole DNS lists. Any farther than that, you get into Milter (Mail fILTER) or SpamAssassin (as mentioned previously) or Amavis +SpamAssassin, or ..., or ... (there are several ways to skin the cat). Quite possibly, the best question for you ATM is: are you protecting just yourself from spam, or are others going to be affected by what you do to your SendMail? Then, do some research and reading on the problem. I've tried SendMail+Amavis+SpamAssassin with some success. One big issue for me: time to administer the server, in particular the learning curve phase. I've also done some other tricks, like listing IP blocks against sendmail in /etc/hosts.allow; but this has gotten me into trouble as, occasionally, international correspondents (like here on the lists) ended up blocked by my MTA.

It probably is because mysql is optimized for the Linux threading implementation. Also keep in mind that freebsd filesystems are mounted async by default, not sync by default like Linux, as a result FreeBSD always does worse in these stupid bakeoffs you read about in the trade rags. Somebody else has pointed out that this was stated the wrong way round. But what we've seen so far is probably not related to the way the file systems are mounted. You can install the linux threading package under FreeBSD's linux emulation and try it that way. I don't think this is a useful option. Linuxthreads might be, though. Keep in mind also that you are talking minute performance differences on the newest multi-gigahertz systems. It would be nice if this were true. We've seen claims of performance differences in the order of 3:1. Furthermore I will point out that unless your database is smaller than physical memory of the server, then the argument between mysql threading and non-threading is a completely moot issue since the hits to the disk will be the bottleneck. Many database systems are CPU-bound. Well yes they are, normally due to poor or zero tuning of the queries etctuning RDBMS's is a science in itself andcan be quite specific tothe RDBMS in question MySQL has identified that there are some serious issues with FreeBSD at the moment. As somebody with a foot in both camps, I'm keeping an open mind about where the problem is, but certainly the threading libraries are an issue. I wish I could make a specific recommendation.

FreeBSD which is not need for only SA run on system, I mean optimizing

Subject: Re: hardening FreeBSD for Spamassassin
From: Vahric MUHTARYAN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi Everybody ,
I think too many people know too many appliance choosing
freebsd
for OS, also they are hardening FreeBSD and specialize for they works .
Anybody know or Did this like hardening on FreeBSD for getting better
performans, I'm using FreeBSD closer 2 year I didn't see any problem
about
performans but is there any hint for hardening FreeBSD , I know some
tuning
paramters have but I talking about different thing . You know spam
programs
CPU intersive , I searched on google and I saw many hardening title but
their point is security not performans .
I think you are referring to tuning rather than hardening. A rough
interpretation of hardening with respect to speed would mean
making the machine work more. That would make it run slower. {^_-}
If you mean tuning to get more performance out of SpamAssassin I'd
need to get some basics handled first. What version of SpamAssassin
are you running? How are you using it? (Are you using spamc/spamd?
Are you using one of the milters that daemonizes spamassassin itself
without using spamc and spamd?) If you are using spamc and spamd
what are the parameters you use for each and what tool calls spamc?
(I use procmail on that other 'x OS at the moment, for example.)
Are you using per user preferences, rules, and Bayes or are you using
system wide via SQL? And so forth. If you are using spamc/spamd then
tuning is direct via the commands to spamd as you daemonize it. For
this the spamassassin user's mailing list is quite helpful. It is
the user's list at spamassassin.apache.org. If you are using some
other tool or milter you might need to deal with that tool's support
groups for the best help.
If you have DNS tests available make sure these tests are not
blocked and are not timing out. spamassassin -t -D testfile
with some handy email test file can give an informative readout
in this regard.
Be aware that spamassassin can use a lot of memory. And it is a bit of
a resource hog if you run a lot of the SpamAssassin Rules Emporium
rule sets. (Search for SARE or the full name. Their rule sets are
VERY useful.) Of course, you get into a tradeoff situation between
resource usage and the quality of the spam detection. I'm silly enough
to run about 40 or so rule sets with per user rules, per user Bayes,
and all that, a pretty much worst case setup on a 2 GHz Athlon with
1 gigabyte of memory. It takes about 3.4 clock seconds to run a single
test using spamc/spamd. Using spamassassin itself adds the overhead of
starting perl and all that. This takes about 5.3 seconds total. Since
the machine is otherwise very lightly loaded this is no big deal for
about 1300 emails processed per day on about 6 user accounts.
And to wrap up this rather long message I'll note that very often the
easiest SpamAssassin tuneup for speed involves adding more memory. If
SpamAssassin finds itself swapping for any reason it gets REALLY slow.
And I do note I am not quite running stock out of the box SpamAssassin.
I do not use automatic anything with it. Loren and I have carefully
trained SpamAssassin manually and get excellent results. And since Loren
is one of the SARE ninjas he needed some special tweaks inside SA that
really should not affect its performance except out at the fifth
decimal place. I mention this in the interests of truth in advertising
as it were.
So if you are not stuck within AmavisD or something like that the

Re: backup strategies

While the basic backup procedure is clear -- use some archiving utility like dump, tar, or cpio and send data to the backup server via ssh or a network mount -- there are many details which are unclear for me. The two biggest problems are: 1) What parts are to be backed up? If I backup the whole system, the backup disk will get full soon. You could say it's not necessary, and that only the valueable data should be backed up (and not those parts which are easy to re-create by means of a new installation). But, say, someone breaks into the machince. How could I reliably find out the Achilles heel she used to get in if I don't have a complete system backup? Or if she has a backdoor left behind? Depends on what the risk you trying to mitigate with backup. Think of the problems and how you would get around them. There are file consistency utils you can run to see if root-kits etc have been installed. 2) How to schedule backups? I guess services should stop for the backup period as the backup could be unreliable or inconsistent if disk/file writes were going on during backup. It sounds as if I should drop to single user mode. Or is there a less drastic approach? And if I dropped to single user mode, I would lose control over the box for that period, as the box is accessed via ssh and sshd is also stopped in single user mode -- this sounds scary... With FreeBSD 5.x and later you can snapshop the filesystem then use a special 'dump' to backup that snapshot to the backup machine. have a look at amanda and bacula for how they handle this and do some research on different backup strategies and their risks and benfits wrt to Unix systems - theres lots out there.. -- Martin TYA. -- Csaba Henk My sense of humour is often too subtle to cope with getting smileyd.

Maybe it got fixed by one of the 'anti-worm worms' ? 8-) . What I was really wondering is if there is some way of preventing one silly Windows box from taking the FreeBSD server into a state where it is pretty much useless network-wise. Setting throttling is one thing that was suggested, but as I recall, when I tried that, it actually made no difference because it throttled the interface and it was useless anyway. Doesn't ethereal really just run tcpdump? Tcpdump showed very little. I guess because it was running on the same machine and the machine wasn't delivering packets to the internal networking..or it was infernally slow and it didn't get much to show. Probably if I had a 2nd FreeBSD box monitoring the network on a hub insdtead of a switch, that would work, but this is an outer office with no on-site IT staff and that is sort of hard to accomplish.

I used the Powerbook to administer the server using ssh, which works well. I would also like to use the server to backup files (for multiple users) from the Powerbook. I have played around with both NFS and netatalk (afpd) and both seem to be working, in that I can manually mount the shares on the Powerbook. I have got the NFS share to automount on the Powerbook but not the afp share. I can copy files to and from both the nfs and afp mounted shares, including resource forks. I have played with various backup utilities including rsync, psync and rdiff-backup with varying degrees of success. Some observations/questions 1. netatalk afp seems consistently and significantly faster than nfs. Is this to be expected or might I have a problem with nfs? If so how do I diagnose and fix it? 2. I would prefer to use nfs, because I can automount it on the Powerbook and run a cron (actually anacron) script to backup the multiple users. I haven't yet worked out how (or if) I can do this with afp (this is really a Mac question I know). 3. I would like to use a backup scheme which is automatic, invisible to the user, yet configured in a way that the archive can be navigated, and files appear in folders on the Mac finder in a consistent way (with resource forks set up correctly). All of this seems almost possible, yet I don't seem to have got it just right yet. Has anyone one any insight they can spread or experiences they can share of a similar set up?
