nfsiod on FreeBSD 4.11
I'm running a FreeBSD 5.3-p5 server and several FreeBSD 4.11 clients. The clients run high levels of concurrency (web servers running several hundred processes at a time). The clients NFS connection tend to lockup when running nfsiod but (so far) appear not to when not running nfsiod. When the lockup occurs the send-q and recv-q on both ends tends to have somewhere around 33000 bytes. Even when the sendspace and recvspace is set to 65536. Any idea what each side is waiting for? If there's something I can do to help debug the issue let me know. -- Michael Conlen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I want to change the MTU on one network to 9k but I have to leave the MTU on the other network at 1500 bytes. Will the system handle the fragmenting for me going from the larger MTU to the smaller? Sure. However, if you have a lot of traffic using jumbo frames going over that 1500 MTU segment, you might be better off using an MTU of 1500 everywhere. At least half the traffic I use now doesn't go over that link and would benefit from the larger MTU. In addition I'm constrained on resources for those servers where as I can add additional firewalls without great expense. On the other side there is a good bit of traffic going over those links that would use jumbo frames but not all of it would. In addition the cost of using two separate networks for the traffic would be more than adding two more firewalls (based on the cost of doubling the number of ports) so I'm figuring this is the way to go.

Re: Log every access to a file
You patch the open() call in the kernel to log messages to syslog. I've got patches for the kernel to log exec() but not open(). It's fairly trivial once you see it in action. -- Michael Conlen On Oct 27, 2003, at 6:35 AM, Matthew Seaman wrote: On Mon, Oct 27, 2003 at 11:57:31AM +0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do you create/add a system log to monitor every access to a specific file (say a database file accessed through samba)? A sample line for syslog.conf would be greatly appreciated ?? :-) Syslog.conf doesn't work that way: application processes themselves decide what log messages to generate and pass them to syslogd(8). syslogd(8) then takes care of writing those log messages into the log files, together with timestamps and other administrivia as required. /etc/syslog.conf is all about directing that flow of messages into the appropriate files categorized by priority and by what application made them. Samba has extensive logging capabilities itself -- which generally bypass syslog entirely, although there are options available to use syslog. It will certainly log who is accessing the server and from what machines. I don't think it has the capability to monitor accesses down to the level of a particular file though, but read the manuals carefully to be sure. If you really need to log all accesses to the file, then probably your best bet is to only make the file available via a web interface, which can be set to require passwords before it will allow access and will supply the logs you require. Alternatively, databases such as postgres or mysql can keep detailed logs of all queries run against them.

RE: SNMP
For FreeBSD I recommend the Net-SNMP package www.net-snmp.org. It's a very good package, highly extensible, and generally reliable. Be sure to configure it properly so that it's secure. change the community string, and restrict what IP addresses can access it. Use SNMP v3 if at all possible. -- Michael Conlen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tkachenko, Artem N Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Freebsd-Config (E-mail); Freebsd-Hackers (E-mail) Subject: SNMP Hi, I am new to SNMP.
