Luckily enough of / was mounting successfully for me to back out to the (working) 5.x kernel. So: my two cents: it can work, but it's possible for it not to work, and care is required.

It's not a crash, it's a configure script testing whether the syscall exists, and the the test program gets the signal 12 to tell it that it doesn't. This is expected behaviour. We have several levels of But that's not implemented. The level used for system calls that are simply not defined is SIGSYS+ENOSYS. By default, application calling these (undefined) system calls can catch the error if they choose to, but will exit otherwise. The next level is to provide ENOSYS stubs that return ENOSYS without generating SIGSYS; in some situations, this is preferred. For example, we use this when AUDIT isn't compiled into the kernel but login(1) calls an audit system call to see if audit is present. Finally, there are a number of situations where a system call is implemented, but the underlying object doesn't support the operation, in which case we often return EOPNOTSUPP or variations on that them. The SIGSYS+ENOSYS error code isn't a bug, but it seems likely that configure would be a lot happier if we returned ENOSYS without SIGSYS. Right now, that means hand-defining a stub that's conditionally compiled based on the feature not being present. It might be nicer if we had a way to indicate that in the system call table.

CARP not balancing automatically
I'm attempting to use CARP with arpbalance to load balance some services. My only problem is that the balancing doesn't happen automatically. The configuration is just from the carp man page: ifconfig_em0=inet XXX.XXX.XXX.55 netmask 255.255.255.192 ifconfig_em1=inet 192.168.100.55 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_carp0=inet 192.168.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 vhid 5 pass dns-prv ifconfig_carp1=inet 192.168.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 vhid 6 advskew 100 pass dns-prv cloned_interfaces=carp0 carp1 and on the other box: ifconfig_em0=inet XXX.XXX.XXX.56 netmask 255.255.255.192 ifconfig_em1=inet 192.168.100.56 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_carp0=inet 192.168.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 vhid 5 advskew 100 pass dns-prv ifconfig_carp1=inet 192.168.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 vhid 6 pass dns-prv cloned_interfaces=carp0 carp1 and of course net.inet.carp.arpbalance=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf. When I reboot the systems, the first one to boot up becomes the MASTER for both carp0 and carp1 interfaces and remains so even after the other machine comes up. The second machine to boot comes up in BACKUP mode for both interfaces. The only way to make the balance change is to bring down carp0 on the box not designated as the master for it momentarily until such time that the first one (the designated master for carp0) takes over, then bring up carp0 again. Until I perform this manual step, all traffic goes to the single box. After I perform this step, the traffic is balanced nicely as expected amongst the local network hosts. Each box then has one MASTER and one BACKUP carp interface for this IP. What can I do to make the balance automatic as the docs imply? This also happens on another pair of machines I have which are CARP + arpbalance for another IP. The NICs in question are hooked up to a gigabit switch.

After I make this changement : The patch http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-October/029224.html a kernel without USB. a kernel in no-SMP mode (the server is SMP). I don't have em* watchdog on the console. But my other problem still here : After someday the client cannot connect on rpcbind on server. If I restart rpcbind there are very strange thing : the daemon running, with sockstat -l or lsof we can see the rpcbind listen on correct ports and correct interface (all) but when a client want to connect to server on rpcbind port we got Connection attempt to TCP server_ip_add:111 from client_ip_add:40396 flags:0x02 at this point we can nothing. Only reboot can solve the problem.

It shouldn't change anything. The nice level will not reduce the amount of work that your CPU is doing, it might only shift that amount between processes. and looking through ports there only seems to be cpu monitoring tools, not suppression? Depending on the type of your CPU (which you didn't tell us), it might be possible to reduce the clock rate using the cpufreq(4) framework. You can control it with sysctl. Reducing the clock rate will reduce the power consumption and thus the heat generated by the CPU. Of course it will also make your computer run much slower. However, since you seem to have a hardware problem, you should first try to fix your hardware. If the CPU is overclocked, stop that. If the timing values in the BIOS setup have been set too tight, correct them. If there's insufficient cooling (e.g. heat sink to small or not correctly attached, or broken fan, or whatever), then fix it. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.

It's a horrible hack, and you should definitely have good backups

tunefs -A {mumble} /dev/ad0s1a
will re-write all of the superblocks on your disk partition. For

be a no-op on that system, but you could use practically anything tunefs
provides.
The problem I had was sort of going in the other direction though: I'd
booted fixit mode from a 6.1 Install disk in order to transfer the
contents of a failing 4.x system disk to a new drive, and while I could
slice, partition and create UFS1 filesystems perfectly happily under 6.1
and use 6.1 dump and restore to copy the disk contents, on reboot 4.x
couldn't read the superblocks properly, so the system wouldn't fsck
properly and get past single user mode. The trick of using 'tunefs -A'
fixed that, and the machine is now running 4.11-RELEASE-p25 perfectly
happily on the replacement hard drive.

When I reboot the systems, the first one to boot up becomes the MASTER for both carp0 and carp1 interfaces and remains so even after the other machine comes up. The second machine to boot comes up in BACKUP mode for both interfaces. The only way to make the balance change is to bring down carp0 on the box not designated as the master for it momentarily until such time that the first one (the designated master for carp0) takes over, then bring up carp0 again. Until I perform this manual step, all traffic goes to the single box. After I perform this step, the traffic is balanced nicely as expected amongst the local network hosts. Each box then has one MASTER and one BACKUP carp interface for this IP. Sounds like you forgot the net.inet.carp.preempt sysctl. See the begining of the EXAMPLES section of carp(4). What can I do to make the balance automatic as the docs imply? This also happens on another pair of machines I have which are CARP + arpbalance for another IP.

em, bge, network problems survey.
Hi, We do experience some trouble with em. 1. em0: watchdog timeout resetting Network hangs, server becomes unreachable, and after a few minutes, console doesn't respond anymore. We tried to type something at the console prompt and we got some chinese characters :) We had to reboot badly. twice. Then we switched to an xl network card. The problem occurred under load (heavy for our use) : nightly nfs backup that wasn't completed, samba home directory for 300 users, squid just 5 minutes after users began to work at the office. Really bad. 2. We are using a 6.1 release. We were using an old 5.2.1 before that. And we already had some network hang followed by server hang that's why we upgraded to 6.1. really bad idea. The problem occurs once a week now. 3. em cards are experiencing the problem. We bought a brand new one, and it stills occurs. So we are now using the integrated xl card. It works fine, but at 100Mbps. 4. It is an SMP machine. We are using the default kernel. 5. machine not hyperthreading capable 6.ioapic0 Version 1.1 irqs 0-23 on motherboard 7. no code patch, default configuration, default kernel 8. 4BSD scheduler I can't do a lot of test with this server, as it is a production one.

some issues not listed on TODO
Hello! Looking at the http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/todo.html today, I was surprised to not see the following problems in addition to the em(4) issue: . devel/nspr's self test fails: the forktest executable complains about a bug in pthread. Using libthr seems to work, but that is not the default configuration. To reproduce: cd /usr/ports/devel/nspr make build test . when the devel/icu port is built with threading support (currently off for this reason), its self-tests crash randomly on ia64. marcel is aware of the problem with threads on ia64 *in general* and is working on it... To reproduce (on ia64): cd /usr/ports/devel/icu make config ;# Enable threads make . building devel/icu on i386 with an optimization flags lower than -O2, reveals a bug in the compiler toolchain -- a bogus symbol is inserted into an object file. The problem strikes sometimes and appears to depend on the number of string literals in the source file. To reproduce, edit the port's Makefile to change the -O flag modification from -O2 to -O0 -g and try to build the port.

Or am I totally misunderstanding with the preemtp sysctl is for? Forgot to mention that setting preempt sysctl does instantly make the carp load balanced interfaces work as expected: balancing the load by offering one master on each server. So I'll say that the example needs to be made more clear that preempt needs to be on. It seems to me that preempt off is a mostly useless configuraiton for load balance, but probably not for just simple failover.

Running large DB's on FreeBSD
Greetings, I am in the process of implementing a fairly large mysql server for an even larger company, and naturally i want to use FreeBSD. The hardware will be an HP DL385, 2 x dual-core Opterons, 16GB RAM, 7 x 15k rpm disks in a RAID5 setup. I'm not exactly informed as to the specific workload yet, however i know the database will have several million rows and be larger than 10GB. So, first of all, am i crazy for choosing fbsd+mysql for this rather than something like Solaris + Oracle? :) Secondly, i am just looking for some suggestions, opinions, success/failure story's that may help me out. Is anyone out there using FreeBSD for something of this size? I am hoping that everything will work out well, and the client will be happy. This would generate some good PR for FreeBSD, as it is a very large international company and it would be the first FreeBSD server (that i know of) of this type there.

i915 DRM enabled in X.org log but not in glxinfo
Hi, Just to say that this report may well seem a little sparse, but I really don't know what exactly to look for so if anybody needs extra information just shout and I will get it for you ASAP. When I check the X.org log file, it says direct rendering: enabled on my graphics device (it attaches its i810 driver to the kernel's i915 DRM device). This would appear to me to suggest that atleast the X server is running with full DRM capabilities. But when I use glxinfo, it says direct rendering: No. I am just wodnering, is there anything special I need to do for GL to work with the DRM stuff? I haven't installed (atleast knowingly) any other MESA library, so following the advice I have found that should be all I need to check, but apparently something else is wrong and I haven't the faintest idea what to look for. The other other slight oddity is that when i915 probes, it says I have 128 meg video RAM when I really only have 64meg maximum for the intel graphics. Just wondering if anybody had any suggestions, just seems wierd that one says things should be enabled,but the other test program disagrees.

I regard Solaris + Oracle as one of the most reliable combinations for moderate to extreme load, for a system that might well be in operation for five to ten years. If I was going to do FreeBSD, I might look into Postgres instead of MySQL; well, I might look into something else than MySQL under many circumstances. I've gotten some pretty good use out of OpenBase, for another choice. I believe the front-end application is MySQL dependent, but what is so much better about PostgreSQL? I understand that it has some more advanced features, but if they are not used, then what is the advantage? (I really like the InnooDB storage in MySQL) The argument for pgsql over mysql given freebsd is based on freebsd being fairly competitive for process-based concurrency whereas the more refined 1:1 thread implementation in linux often gives mysql an edge on that platform. pgsql vs. mysql performance comparisons are usually run on Linux and do not necessarily predict performance under freebsd for the testload. ** Find a testload similar in structure to your workload before deciding; make sure that the testload uses hardware with similar bottlenecks to your production setup ** ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: How to configure a usb device

RE: How to configure a usb device
As I said in another email, the Linux uses zaurus driver for this USB lan devices. I have checked the freebsd list that it uses cdce driver to support zaurus USB devices. But some zaurus usb devices don't report its class and interfaces correctly. It should works if we can add the product ID and vendor ID into the drivers manually. The zaurus drivers in linux complains about the incompliance of USB devices of zaurus (CDC) so Linux developer developed a specific driver for that. I don't want to make a specific driver for FreeBSD since I am a newbie to freebsd. What I want to do is to add the vendor and product information to the driver manually by myself.

Forgot to mention that setting preempt sysctl does instantly make the carp load balanced interfaces work as expected: balancing the load by offering one master on each server. So I'll say that the example needs to be made more clear that preempt needs to be on. Make a suggestion on how it should be worded and submit as a doc PR. It seems to me that preempt off is a mostly useless configuraiton for load balance, but probably not for just simple failover. -- /\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News pgpjBWRcTdveA.pgp Description: PGP signature
