How to solve mysterious system lockups?
Hello I have several systems that are used as squid caching servers. I have some systems that use SCSI disks and some that use SATA disks. They are identical in everyway except for the sata vs SCSI drives. At random times, the sata based systems seem to be freezing. You can ping them and they respond, but you cannot log in. Nor are any logs processed during that time. I figure it mist be something to do with the disks, but I am not sure how to solve it. There seems to be little rhyme or reason. It does not happen necessarily during busy times. It can happen in the middle of the night. Any pointers in how to track down the cause would be much appreciated.

From Wikipedia: Many people equate the word daemon with the word demon, implying some kind of Satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. Daemon is actually a much older form of demon; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a personal daemon was similar to the modern concept of a guardian angel --- eudaemonia is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons.

Getting errors while trying to use new Mysql 50 port and pkg
Hello, I have 2 database servers running as slaves from a Master database. One (db2) is running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE from October. The other, (db3) on a new build of FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE. Both are AMD64. Db2 is running mysql 5.0.24a and has been working fine. Db3 however, running mysql 5.0.33 keeps giving an error 127 after awhile, for a couple of our tables. The tables all check as ok. 070227 11:24:48 [ERROR] Got error 127 when reading table './user_info' We had this problem before with the ports built version on db2, but when we switched to the pkg build it went away. Now none of the build options seem to work and sadly I do not have the old copy of mysql 5.024a to try on this server. (forgot to use -K) I have tried the Ports build with and without various optimizations, the Pkg build and a downloaded binary from mysql. (5.0.27) All produced the errors within an hour of running. perror shows this to mean: MySQL error code 127: Record-file is crashed. When the error is reported, the query that caused it responds with an error, but all other queries work. Running a repair on the tables shows everything ok. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Altho of course that would be the pro polling side, since by default, interupts are used. Is it all just imperical testing? Take this pill and see let me know how you feel? It seems as though when it's heavy networking, use polling. Otherwise stick with interupts. I have even heard when using X network card, use polling. How would know when one card will do better with polling while another may not? Thanks for helping me understand the debate better.

I have tried this is both S-ATA and P-ATA emulation. atapci0: ServerWorks HT1000 SATA150 controller port 0xb080-0xb087,0xb000-0xb003,0xac00-0xac07 ,0xa880-0xa883,0xa800-0xa81f mem 0xff4fe000-0xff4f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci1 S-ATA: ad4: 70911MB WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR1 20.07P20 at ata2-master SATA150 OR P-ATA: ad4: DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ATA66 cable ad4: 70911MB WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR1 20.07P20 at ata2-master UDMA33 I use RELENG_6 in i386 mode on this MB (two integrated em nics) and it works quite well Have you tried it with the tune for Diskd mentioned. atapci0: ServerWorks HT1000 SATA150 controller port 0xc080-0xc087,0xc000-0xc003,0xbc00-0xbc07,0xb880-0xb883,0xb800-0xb81f mem 0xff 3fe000-0xff3f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci1 ata2: ATA channel 0 on atapci0 ata3: ATA channel 1 on atapci0 ata4: ATA channel 2 on atapci0 ata5: ATA channel 3 on atapci0 atapci1: ServerWorks HT1000 UDMA100 controller port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xffa0-0xffaf at device 2.1 on pci0 ata0: ATA channel 0 on atapci1 ata1: ATA channel 1 on atapci1 ad4: 76319MB Seagate ST380811AS 3.AAE at ata2-master SATA150 # atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 2: Master: ad4 ST380811AS/3.AAE Serial ATA II Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 4: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 5: Master: no device present Slave: no device present However, update the BIOS and make sure you dont use PATA emulation on the SATA controller as that doesnt really work. ---Mike Mike Tancsa, Sentex communications http://www.sentex.net Providing Internet Access since 1994 [EMAIL PROTECTED], (http://www.tancsa.com) Hi Mike Yes, it does work quite well. But not if I use the same tuning parameters used on systems running on Non Serverworks chipsets. (Tyan S2881 or S2882 Board) I use these for supporting many heavy loaded Squid servers. The normal tweaks suggested for Squid, and work well on Non Serverworks chipsets are: /boot/loader.conf kern.ipc.maxsockets=16424 kern.ipc.msgmnb=16384 kern.ipc.msgmni=41 kern.ipc.msgseg=2049 kern.ipc.msgssz=64 kern.ipc.msgtql=2048 OR kern.ipc.msgmnb=8192 kern.ipc.msgmni=40 kern.ipc.msgseg=512 kern.ipc.msgssz=64 kern.ipc.msgtql=1024 However, with any setting of kern.ipc.msgtql (What does it do anyway?) above 64 the server crashes with the Bonnie test. The higher the setting the faster the crash.
