Re: Help Sun Blade 1000

[Sean Hafeez]

STOP-A to the boot prom

boot cdrom

expects the CD if SCSI to be ID 6.

If the command 'probe-scsi-all' does not see the cdrom you have  
termination or such issues.

My questions are..

Should I keep Solaris 8 or install FreeBSD?

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 100Mbit network performance - again

[Sean Hafeez]

Let me fix my typo here.

I get 60+Mbits out of 100Mbits on a 10/100 network.

The Max SUSTAINED thru-put you will ever see will be around 70Mbits.  
There is an overhead that means that you will only see .7 of the  
theoretical.

Re: DHCP assigned unregistered IP address

[Sean Hafeez]

Most cable modems have an RCF1918 on their external management  
address. This is not part of the routing you see. The modem bridges  
your NIC to the Cable headend interface - like a layer 2 ethernet. Do  
a TCPDUMP on your external interface. Here in Cox Cable land you will  
see packets from 10.x.x.x every once in a while. This is the traffic  
from you modem to the headend for management.

Thanks for all the replies. Responses to everyone's comments and
suggestions:

1) It is a Motorola cable modem. (SB5100)

2) I can access 192.168.100.1 after modifying the firewall rules that
stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface. (IPFW) There's no checkbox
to disable DHCP. I downloaded the modem user manual from the URL Glenn
Dawson posted, but I didn't find anything on this problem.

3) I did the (shutdown, disconnect modem 30 seconds, reboot) cycle  
about

three times, but it didn't do anything. The solution was
# dhclient -r
# dhclient rl0
Repeat until oip != 192.168.100.11. (I think it took four iterations,
but I wasn't counting.) This cleared the IP address on both the inner
and outer NICs. Maybe I should have specified the interface with  
the -r

flag, but it was easy to fix.

4) The problem was solved by the time I saw the dig suggestion, so I
didn't have a chance to try it.

5) Bill was paid on time. :)

The modem web page contained this:
The SURFboard cable modem can be used as a gateway to the
Internet by a maximum of 32 users on a Local Area Network (LAN).
When the Cable Modem is disconnected from the Internet, users on
the LAN can be dynamically assigned IP Addresses by the Cable
Modem DHCP Server.
I take this to mean that the modem can't do NAT. It can only act as a
gateway for registered IP addresses, which it can't assign.

The config web page has two buttons:
Reset All Defaults
Restart Cable Modem
I can't find any documentation on the second. Would "Restart Cable
Modem" be equivalent to disconnecting the modem power for 30 seconds?
And "Reset All Defaults" would have released the unregistered IP
address? (Along with any other settings)

How do I find the outward facing IP address for the cable modem? Is
that the "option routers" line in dhclient.leases?

That looks like whatever filesystem gzip was writing to couldn't

files over 2gb.  You mentioned writing to a remote filesystem using
amd, but it defaults to NFSv3.  Were you maybe writing to a FAT fs on
the remote end?  You can also see whether amd actually mounted the
remote fs with NFSv2 by uncommenting the "/var/log/all.log" line in
/etc/syslog.con, touching /var/log/all.log, and restarting syslog.  
Then have amd remount the remote system and check the log.



Hmm. ok, as suspected gzip v1.3.5 from ports fails as the other  
one. And the filesize it died on is 4,294,950,912 bytes . Just  
under 4 GB - 16K less than 4 GB. (back to system gzip of course :) )


The native FS on the NAS is NTFS, which doesnt have this kind of

Re: aac support

[Sean Hafeez]

There has got to be a better way to work with the vendors in order to 
get the support we need. It just seem to me that the "screw you guys, I 
am going home" stuff just does not work. The vendors need a business 
case in order to do things - they are in business to make money and I 
can agree with that. Maybe we can do some sort of list of companies or 
OpenBSD people that use or would use the cards - along with number and 
install base study of the number of sales they would get and give it to 
them. We should work on some sort of cookie cutter type setup that 
tracks the interest and $$ with a product that we can compile and be 
sent to the vendor in order to get support. The data needs to be 
correct and true and presented in a business case manor. The one-off 
flock of emails just do not work. I would be happy to help with this 
and pursue this if there are others that think it is a good idea.

Also is there needs to be a stock form that is send the vendors that 
covers in detail what we ask for. Some that can be vetted by their 
lawyer that they would be OK with.  We need to work with the vendors in 
a clear, clean business like manner and leave emotion and philosophy 
out of it.

This is just my 2 cents. If you do not like it, oh well.

I really appreciate that.  Boy, you sure do want to see all of
our projects do well, don't you.
Apparently you have zero idea of where we are going.
While you are content with shipping binary stuff in your source tree
and in your ports tree, we are not.  We do not ship binaries.  We are
not interested in shipping a binary for some CLI.  We actually do have
the Linux CLI working in emulation, but we will not supply it to our
user community.  I have cancelled that effort by that developer.  We
will not supply something to our user community that they cannot fix
and improve themselves.
We have been talking with Adaptec for 4 months.  They have not
given us management information.
We have been talking to Adaptec for more than a year to get other RAID
controller information, as in, how to even get the mailbox stuff
fixed.  They have not given that to us, either.
Noone thought to talk to you.  You are, I am sure, under a
non-disclosure agreement with Adaptec, and I am sure you would
therefore not give us documentation.  We are quite used to FreeBSD and
Linux people signing NDA's by now.  Yesterday on the phone Doug said
"But we did give OpenBSD documentation, we gave them to Scott Long".
Thus, Doug mentioned that *you* had documentation, and thought that
was enough.  Of course it is not.  You do not help us, I told him.
That is not how it works.  And so it stands -- we still have no
documentation.
Did I get an offer from you for documentation before you went onto a
public site and said I was full of crap?  No, I did not.
And I expect that now that you have said I am full of crap, we still
will get no documentation from you.  Right?
We are working on a driver-independent raid management framework.  One
command (perhaps called raidctl(4), we don't know) that should work on
any controller from any vendor, which would do management, because the
management stuff would be abstracted in a driver-independent way into
each driver.  Yes this is a difficult project.  We have support for
AMI almost working.  We will support some other product, as well, then
we'll see where Adaptec stands.
I do a lot of work on OpenBSD.  I am sure that you do a lot of work on
your stuff in FreeBSD too, so you know what it is to be a very busy
busy person.
When a vendor ignores me and the efforts of 4 other people trying to
get the vendor to listen -- for that long, we have no choice.
Yet, you, Scott, you think that you are therefore able to slag us and
call us wrong, because YOU are in the loop and we are not?  Because
you used to WORK at Adaptec, and we did not?  That somehow makes us
full of crap?
I have been watching the mail going to Doug over the last 24 hours.
I have been counting controllers mentioned in mails and am now up to
over 1,800 Adaptec RAID controllers, with people from very large
commercial operations complaining that they have been switching to
other controllers (or, having now seen Adaptec's failure in this

Those controllers will not be supported in OpenBSD 3.7 in May.  If

Strange GRE packet flows...

I have a 4.9 box (router1) running IPFW:

/sbin/natd -interface rl0 -s
ipfw add 999 divert natd all from any to any via rl0
ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any in recv vr0
ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any out xmit vr0
ipfw pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x bw 512kbits/s
ipfw pipe 2 config mask dst-ip 0x bw 512kbits/s
And on this box I have some GRE tunnels:

ifconfig gre8 create
ifconfig gre8 tunnel x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
ifconfig gre8 inet 172.20.1.13 172.20.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.252
ifconfig gre8 up
route add -net 10.0.100.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 172.20.1.14
The tunnels terminate on a Cisco 1720 or a box running FreeBSD 4.8 or 
4.9. (Same config as above reversed). The Cisco or the BSD box are 
running NAT on their side.

If I ping a box behind the remote side from my desktop which is behind 
the router1 box I drop 3 out of 5 packets. Now for the strange part - If 
I get a ping going to that same node from the router1 box and then ping 
from my desktop I drop no packets. If I kill the ping on the router1 box 
the pings from the desktop start dropping packets. This also works if I 
ping the external interface on the remote router.

BTW, I have just changed the router1 box from Gentoo Linux using the 
IPROTUE package for the tunnels to FreeBSD 4.9. It worked just fine with 
the router1 running Linux. I would hate to have to change back as I hate 
Linux and think IPTABLES was written as a replacement for pulling finger 
nails out with pliers.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: 5.1 box network hang....

[Sean Hafeez]

yah. know that much. like i said i replaced the nic because of the hangs 
of the networking. the new nic hangs as well.

After you replace the nic, you need to check your rc.conf for the new

I assume you are not doing any firewalling, as you need to change those
for the new nic name.

Subject: 5.1 box network hang
I have a strange issue. Running 5.1 on an AMD w/512 RAM. 20GB IDE and
a

Firewire card that has a 120GB drive on it. The load on the box is
under

1%. The NIC is a RealTech. It was an Intel PRO/100 card.

The issues:

Networking stops running. Everything is up. All the processes are
runing

the interface is up. But you cannot do anything with the network.
Pings

hang. You can bring the interface up and down and still hung. There is
nothing in the logs. This happend every 3-5 days. I have replaced the
NIC.

Re: List of absolutely required files for FreeBSD?

[Sean Hafeez]

well i have been installing the normal + kernel dev package/src because 
i need to recompile the kernel. then remove the /usr/src and /usr/ports 
then go thru and trim the *share *docs *examples and end up with a 220mb 
system. i am quite sure that you can remove more.

256mb, but I'd like some extra room for some data files.

If I could get it down to say 80mb then I could use a 128mb card...

If I start out with just the 'bin' directory for the release there's
around 100megs of files.  Obviously a lot of them like ipfw I don't need.
However, what about things like awk? I won't use it, but are there other

Is there a list somewhere that would help determine what files are used by

I would like to stick to an IDE RAID controller. RAID5 or RAID1.

Also what do you recommend for a cheap tape backup?

And before I forget, pls let me know if you are using it under 4.x or 5.x.

I would love to do an external STA type setup but I am sure it is not
quite there yet under FreeBSD.

Install latest 4.8?

If I do a floppy boot and a FTP install will I get the latest patched 
version or 4.8 or do I still need to patch up?

Is there anyway I can do an FTP install of the latest patched version 
of 4.8? I do not want to go thru the CVS & compile thing.

Show us exactly how you patched and then restarted sshd.

A quick kernel swap?

[Sean Hafeez]

All things being equal, same hardware, same version of the same build 
of 4.8, etc... I have one box with a kernel w/out DUMMYNET and one with 
a kernel w/DUMMYNET. If I were to copy the DUMMYNET kernel to the 
non-DUMMYNET would it work? The other issue I have is space. The system 
is running off flash. Can I delete the running Kernel before I copy up 
the new one?

You will have to upgrade your ports.
