Re: hardware raid suggestions
If you go SATA RAID, I've had good luck and good speed with RocketRaid 1820 cards. P. On Monday 12 June 2006 14:29, pete wright wrote: On 6/12/06, Philip M.

I'm more interested in the performance from raid then the redundancy. Its mainly if not exclusively going to be used for compilations of software ASF software. Ideally, I'd like to NFS mount its disk on my desktop over a local gigabit lan. Any pointers appreciated. I'm willing spend up to about $1,000. How much space do you want? 500GB-1TB is probably way more then I need, but I won't complain. I think 250GB should be good. I have had good luck with LSI RAID cards (hardware reliability wise). You may want to check the archives for fully supported, non-GIANT locked cards. From a performance perspective I would invest in a card with ample onboard ram 128megs or greater, and investigate getting a BBU unit for the card as well. -pete ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Im new to FreeBSD
Jason, 15000 freeware applications. Read about the ports collection. Please read the manual. It is an excellent piece of work.

Why isn't the ath0 card in promisc mode? I thought it pretty much has to be in order for the bridge to work (both NICs in my bridge stay in promisc mode). I'm not sure if you're using device if_bridge, or options BRIDGE, but if it's the former, and you're running traffic through pf, take note of the warning in the if_bridge man page: The bridge may not forward fragments that have been reassembled by a packet filter. In pf(4) fragment reassembly can be disabled in the scrub option. That's just my guesses for places to look based on the info you described. Cheers, -Wes Thanks, Wes. Sorry, but nothing more to report. I am using if_bridge as my rc.conf shows I clone the interface and create the bridge. This autoloads the if_bridge.ko as shown: 1 12 0xc040 534520 kernel 21 0xc0935000 121e4geom_mirror.ko 31 0xc0948000 10958if_ath.ko 43 0xc0959000 26b60ath_hal.ko 52 0xc098 40ac ath_rate.ko 61 0xc0985000 58554acpi.ko 71 0xc3567000 8000 if_bridge.ko 81 0xc3661000 4000 logo_saver.ko Pretty much I copied this from the ath man page: ifconfig ath0 inet up ssid my_ap media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig bridge0 addm ath0 addm fxp0 Seems that once I rebooted, both interfaces came up in promiscuous mode, so that's a no go now. I still believe it to be a frag/UDP/RPC issue. Wes do you or anyone else have any further insight?

Bridge, networking, wireless cards, and ypbind.... (*sigh*
Hi, I wish this was a little less complicated, but it seems pretty straightforward and I got it to work in no time at all, so I think I have it right. Machines: Two AMD Socket 462 boxen 512 MB RAM RTL8169 Gb chipset (reX) cards Wireless card is Atheros 5212 based OK. Everything on the NIS/NFS machine has worked fine and I just added a wireless card. I'm going wireless on a few machines to test the wireless as I'm in an apartment and I'm thinking the landlord isn't going to like me hacking up the walls for wall plates, etc So... I add the Atheros card, configure it to be the hostap (ap-access point and voila' it works. Nice) On the NIS Server machine, I have the 192.168.1.x with 255.255.255.0 address space. In loader.conf, I have: if_ath_enable=YES In rc.conf, I have: nis_server_enable=YES nis_client_enable=YES nfs_server_enable=YES cloned_interfaces=bridge0 ifconfig_bridge0=addm re0 addm ath0 up ifconfig_re0=inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.1.12 ifconfig_ath0=ssid my_ap mode 11g mediaopt hostap my ifconfig -a shows: ath0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe94:75c5%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:13:46:94:75:c5 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g hostap status: associated ssid my_ap channel 1 bssid 00:13:46:94:75:c5 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 30 protmode CTS burst dtimperiod 1 bintval 100 re0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20e:a6ff:fe71:45b1%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255 ether 00:0e:a6:71:45:b1 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX full-duplex) status: active bridge0: flags=8043UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1500 ether ac:de:48:f4:6b:4e priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 member: ath0 flags=3LEARNING,DISCOVER member: vr0 flags=3LEARNING,DISCOVER my sysctl.conf has (these were gotchas I wasn't expecting..) net.inet.ip.check_interface=0 net.link.bridge.pfil_member=0 net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip=0 net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge=0 Everything good so far. I have a wireless card bridged to my Gb ethernet and it seems to work. ypwhich shows the machine bound to this server as it is the only master. Ok, the first wireless client gets the next Wireless card (for those wanting to know the name and model, they are D-LINK DWL-G520 108G card). my rc.conf has: ifconfig_ath0=inet 192.168.1.24 netmask 0xff00 ssid my_ap mode 11g mediaopt adhoc defautrouter=192.168.1.12 nis_client_enable=YES ifconfig -a shows: ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe94:75c3%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:13:46:94:75:c3 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g adhoc status: associated ssid my_ap channel 3 bssid 02:13:46:94:75:c5 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 36 protmode CTS burst bintval 100 I assume that since the bssid shows the MAC address of AP, it is bound. I can ping the x.x.x.11 address. I can ping the x.x.x.12 gw address. I can resolve out to the world. Life is great, right? No, I can't ypbind and only the default accounts are coming up. I can mount NFS exported drives from the server with no issue. if I ypwhich it tells me the domain is not bound. (Yes, the domainname is correct) I believe I'm missing something with UDP or ICMP or some such. This is driving me 3 days crazy. Is there a sysctl or something I'm missing? Does this seem like an RPC or UDP issue. Part of my trouble shooting had me hardwiring the machines instead of wireless. No sooner did I boot up the client then it was bound to the server. Why does it refuse to do this on the wireless?

Which mailing list.....
Hi, I'd like to know which mailing list I should post a reqest for the SiS 650 motherboard chipset for 5.0. I thought they would have put this in as I noticed a coupld of people requesting support back in June of 2000, but as I read the hardware notes for 5.0-RC1 I see everything but the 650 Chipset. Where should I post this? Thanks! Paul Pathiakis To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
