 This is stripped down kernel with everything possible loaded from modules.
 Any ideas?  Did not see any warnings in UPDATING...

Try to add 'device mem' to your kernel configuration.

I explicitly have nodevice mem and nodevice io in my config.  They are
being loaded from /boot/loader.conf.  This worked fine for quite a while.

I will try to have it compiled-in, but would still prefer it fixed, or in
case it cannot be fixed and mem.ko cannot be loaded separately from now on,
appropriate entry in UPDATING.

VirtualBox problem booting FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso

2012-04-16 Thread Craig Rodrigues
Hi,

I am trying to run FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
inside VirtualBox and am having some problems.

The error messages I am getting are similar to the ones mentioned here:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-December/065079.html




My host environment
===

Operating System: Windows 7, home edition, 64-bit
VirtualBox for Windows, version 4.1.12 r77245

CPU Information


I downloaded the CoreInfo.exe utility which is part of Windows
Sysinternals utilities
( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb545027 )

According to this utility, my CPU is:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450  @ 1.66GHz
Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 13, GenuineIntel
HTT *   Hyperthreading enabled
HYPERVISOR  -   Hypervisor is present
VMX -   Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
SVM -   Supports AMD hardware-assisted virtualization
EM64T   *   Supports 64-bit mode


So my CPU support 64-bit mode, but does not support hardware-assisted
virtualization.



Error message

If I try to mount and then boot it under VirtualBox, I get this error:

   CPU doesn't support long mode

   Consoles: internal video/keyboard

   Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
   Guess BIOS device 0x not found by probes, defaulting to disk0:
   FATAL: int13_harddisk: function 42. Can't use 64bits lba



Does anyone know how to fix this problem in VirtualBox?




QEMU for Windows


Just to try something else, I downloaded QEMU 0.9.0 for Windows from:

http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/

I extracted the zip file into a directory:  C:\local\qemu-0.9.0-windows

I then ran:

   cd c:\local\qemu-0.9.0-windows
   qemu-system-x86_64.exe -L . -m 128 -cdrom
c:\temp\FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso

The ISO booted up just fine.  From the dmesg output, this was the emulated CPU:

   CPU: QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.9.0 (1666.98-MHz K8-class CPU)
Origin = AuthenticAMD Id = 0x623 Family = 6 Model = 2 Stepping = 3

Features2=0x1SSE3
AMD Features=0x20100800SYSCALL,NX,LM




Does anyone know how I can get VirtualBox to behave the same way
as QEMU for FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can only use 64-bit guests if you have a cpu which supports hardware
acceleration.

From VirtualBox manual:
VirtualBox's 64-bit guest support (added with version 2.0) and
multiprocessing (SMP, added with version 3.0) both require hardware
virtualization to be enabled. (This is not much of a limitation since
the vast majority of today's 64-bit and multicore CPUs ship with
hardware virtualization anyway; the exceptions to this rule are e.g.
older Intel Celeron and AMD Opteron CPUs.)

Intel doesn't support 64 bit software-only virtualization. You really 
need VTX for this to work.

 Yes, this card is supported with the mfi(4) in projects/head_mfi.  Looks
 like we fixed a couple of last minute found bugs when trying to create a
 RAID wth mfiutil.  This should be fixed now.  I'm going to start the
 merge to -current today.  The version in head_mfi can run on older
 versions of FreeBSD with the changes that Sean did.

I have just imported the mfi(4) and mfiutil(8) into a 9.0-RELEASE tree to try 
this out.

When booting up with two fresh drives attached, they show up as usable JBOD 
disks. However, I cannot use mfiutil to create anything with them. Every drive 
gives

   mfiutil: Drive n not available

Is this expected behaviour? How can I create a raid1 volume using mfiutil and 
clean disks?

I tried using MegaCli from the LSI website (versions 8.02.16 and 8.02.21), but 
they can't even detect the controller. I know you said at some point that a 
very recent version of MegaCli was required. What version is necessary?

 It's not broken; it was never implemented.  No FreeBSD tree shipped does
 support transport mode at this time.  There are patches but you also need
 to fix ipsec-tools or your ike daemon.  If you do the latter I can commit
 the former.
 
 /bz
 
 Where could I get that patches? I'd like to test them and to see what 
 could I do with them.

You can get kernel patches in kern/146190, but as said in the pr and
by Bjoern, it needs some work on userland (IKE daemon).


 And, if it's really so difficult to implement transport mode in kernel 
 some way,

I didn't review/try the patch, but kernel part seems to be done.

 describe it (I think, all the work for third parties will be 
 implemented through pfkey interface), and wait some time (or may be help 
 a little) until it'll be implemented in ipsec-tools.
 It's not the egg and chicken problem, may be the kernel must be the 
 first. Or may be I'm not in theme so deep? Is it really some sort or big 
 and principal incompatibilities with ipsec-tools?

That's why I took the pr a while ago: to have a look at both parts
(kernel and ipsec-tools) and try/commit that once patches exists for
both.

Afaik, no one already worked on the userland part for ipsec-tools
(contact me if I'm wrong !).

Sometimes nothing for days, sometimes under high Network load (NFSv3), sometimes
multiple times a day. I see this message/behaviour on always the same two of the
four interfaces (em1 and em3).

Then the NIC does not have the ACTIVE flag anymore, an ifconfig em1 up
solves the issue. But why does it loose the ACTIVE state and why does the
NIC reset itself in the first place?
On the switch i see that the port matching em1 on the server has left
the trunk, so the missing ACTIVE flag is not lying 8-/

Googling found many postings with the same problem and one site suggested
that this might be an ACPI problem but nothing concrete and the postings
i found were mostly FBSD7 and older.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if mfiutil can switch disks from JBOD mode to RAID.
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't.  It can't go from RAID to 
real JBOD mode since it doesn't have code to support that.

What was the syntax you used since usage is cryptic?  I've never

You are definitely in real JBOD mode with each drive being /dev/mfisyspd0

ZFS options for FreeBSD 8.3

2012-04-16 Thread carlopmart

Hi all,

 I have installed FreeBSD 8.3 amd64 release in an ESXi server. Due to 
some limitations, I can only assign 2GiB of RAM to this virtual machine 
and I need to use ZFS as filesystem to store some data (MySQL databases).


 According to http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide I have configured 
some options:


vfs.zfs.write_limit_override=268435456
kern.maxvnodes=25

 According to ZFS version, FreeBSD 8,3 comes with version 28, and 
reading previous guide there is not need to adjust nothing more.


 But what about l2arc options?? Do I need to adjust vfs.zfs.arc_max and 
vm.kmem_size options?? How can I calculate these values??


Thanks.

That combination doesn't make much sense, frankly.

ZFS is very memory hungry--  I wouldn't want to run it on anything with less 
than 4GB of RAM, although other folks around here have reported successful 
setups under 2GB of RAM with some tuning.  However, the data integrity benefits 
of ZFS mostly come from it talking directly to disks in JBOD configuration; if 
ZFS is just running in a VM and talking to a filesystem image, it loses much of 
the advantage which it might otherwise provide.

You'd almost certainly get better MySQL performance by going with UFSv2 and 
having the DB use most of the RAM, instead of having it be sucked away by ZFS.

Regards,


Thanks Chuck. Yes, I know it is not hte best option. But I need to 
tunning this vm with ZFS. Almost, is the minimum RAM needed for ZFS 
according to 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/filesystems-zfs.html.

Any options on crypt+zfs ?

2012-04-16 Thread Nenhum_de_Nos
hail,

I have a soekris running an atom and 2GB RAM and ZFS using 7 drives, small 
capacity though, to
test and study if I can make my home server this box and this way. It will be a 
simple server,
three users tops.

I followed the handbook and made the geli step on the disks:

Geom name: label/zfs1.eli
State: ACTIVE
EncryptionAlgorithm: AES-XTS
KeyLength: 128
Crypto: software
UsedKey: 0
Flags: NONE
KeysAllocated: 38
KeysTotal: 38
Providers:
1. Name: label/zfs1.eli
   Mediasize: 160041881600 (149G)
   Sectorsize: 4096
   Mode: r1w1e1
Consumers:
1. Name: label/zfs1
   Mediasize: 160041885184 (149G)
   Sectorsize: 512
   Mode: r1w1e1


all disks are this way (just 4 disks are on geli zfs).

would it be faster, if I had geli over zfs, and not the other way (as is now) ?

my performance is too low (I know the hardware is not that much, but I compared 
it to a friend's
arm based AP-Router gadget and my setup is when much equal. I have 1.6 GHz Atom 
and 2GB ram, he
has not half this ... I know can't compare arm and x86 clock for clock ...)

I'll try to run geli on single disk, to see how much ZFS is impacting on 
performance, but, is
there any other way around ? All I want is RAID5, and FreeBSD has not developed 
RAID5 from GEOM
(AFAIK) since a long time. ZFS is the way people go in recent years.

suggestions are welcome, just want to upgrade my old 8.0 BETA3 using geom 
mirror/stripe to a newer
approach that would be supported by FreeBSD.

I have an external enclosure for 4 SATA disks (port multiplier included) using 
4 disks, another
port multiplier 5x1 using now 3 disks, and:

ahci1@pci0:13:0:0:  class=0x010601 card=0x10601b21 chip=0x06121b21 rev=0x01 
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ASMedia Technology Inc.'
class  = mass storage
subclass   = SATA

with two eSATA to the Port Multipliers.

thanks,

matheus

This appears to be the culprit, a bug that's in CURRENT, that somehow
made it in to 9-STABLE.

I didn't review/try the patch, but kernel part seems to be done.

Upon my testing it's not so good as it seems. I found some trouble with it.
1. sysctl net.inet.esp.esp_ignore_natt_cksum works not as expected. If 
there is troubles with function key_compute_natt_cksum, bad (not 
recalculated) checksums are not ignored and packets are droped, 
increasing bad udp checksums counter.
2. received by L2TP daemon decrypted packets seemed to it as packets 
originated from NAT address, but not from LAN behind the NAT. So, L2TP 
daemon answers them back to NAT, and ofcourse they not satisfy the SPD

May be I'm doing something wrong, but my little research shows me

kldload uhci lockup

2012-04-16 Thread Jakub Lach
I observed that following could cause
machine lockup since at least 8-CURRENT.

Now I'm on 9-STABLE

No usb in kernel, attached mouse pointer. 

# kldload usb ums ehci
# kldload uhci

or 

# kldload uhci usb ums ehci

uhci is required for working mouse.

Can anyone confirm? Please
test few different iterations, as 
it's probably not easily reproducible.

Most times nothing happens, if machine
slow downs to crawl/halt , it's on uhci 
loading stage I suppose. 

Best if somebody could pin this down 
on their machine, as I don't have time
to debug this now/would have to alter
my configuration considerably.

best regards,

The ideal solution will be ZFS with crypto support, but unfortunately this is 
only available on Oracle Sun 5.11 for now.

The GELI is very good, but it is mostly for single device/file image 
encryption. Each new GELI device in the ZFS mirror/RAIDZ configuration will add 
extra overhead.

GELI on top of ZFS volume/file-backed will be even worse.

You could consider PEFS from ports on top of any ZFS pool. PEFS is a kernel 
level stacked cryptographic filesystem for FreeBSD:

http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/pefs-kmod/
http://wiki.freebsd.org/PEFS
https://github.com/glk/pefs

P.S. ZFS RAIDZ1/RAIDZ2 pool is more sophisticated solution than RAID5/RAID6.

 I'm not sure if mfiutil can switch disks from JBOD mode to RAID.

 What was the syntax you used since usage is cryptic?  I've never
 seen a MegaCli that couldn't access the card.  What I meant by
 more recent MegaCli is earlier versions didn't have the JBOD
 commands in it.  I have a 8.00.46 that knows about JBOD.

The MegaCli problem was an embarrassing operator error which I can't blame on 
the bad UI.

mfiutil create jbod … doesn't create a JBOD disk, it creates a raid0 volume. 
I think that was expected. The biggest problem with this controller and just 
mfiutil is that you can't get a drive from the JBOD state to the 
unconfigured-good state, and a blank disk starts in JBOD. So to do any setup 
you need to resort to the BIOS utility or MegaCli.

For each disk to change from JBOD to Unconfigured-good so that it can be used 
to create a volume, I needed to do:

   MegaCli -PDMakeGood -Physdrv '[64:1]' -force -a0

Obviously with the right drivespec.  Once they're in this state I can use 
mfiutil to create volumes.

I can get drives from the unconfigured-good state to JBOD by doing MegaCli 
-PDMakeJBOD …. 

This is just in a little test machine with a few drives. Now that it is working 
to this level I will get a server with a 9240 and give it a proper run. I'll 
also try the driver out in one of the 9261 based servers we've got here.

Thanks!

Hi,

After exchanging a few e-mails with Bernard, I think I understand the problem.
According to the VirtualBox manual:

http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests

The CPU needs to support hardware-assisted virtualization in order for
VirtualBox to support 64-bit guests.
Without the CPU support, VirtualBox cannot do it.  I double checked
this with CoreInfo.exe from Windows Sysinternals utilities,
and also from the Intel data sheet for my CPU:

http://ark.intel.com/products/30787
(VT-x option not supported)


I will use QEMU under Windows until I can get a better machine. :)

I believe a Windows 7 product key will activate either 32 or 64 install, so
unless you have a specific reason to install 64 bit then you are likely
better using 32 anyway.  32 bit OS's and apps use less memory than their
corresponding 64 bit counterparts.
