Re: ZFS performance on 7.2-release/amd64 low compared to UFS2 + SoftUpdates
The difference in layout can easily explain a 2x difference in sequential transfer performance. I seriously doubt your disk is really getting 23K seeks/s done in the UFS case - 100/s sounds much more reasonable for real hardware. Perhaps the results of caching?

That was a rule of thumb in the heyday of async serial lines, which used a start and stop bit per byte. However, ethernet at 100Mbit is 4B5B coded at a 125mhz rate. So the raw synchronous data rate really is 12.5Mbytes/s. Minus the sync preamble of 8 bytes per packet and the mandatory inter-frame-gap of 12 bytes that's a physical layer rate of (12.5M * (1500/(1500+20))) or 12.34Mbyte/s. Even in the later days of modems this rule applied less and less, because the modulation schemes became synchronous.

Re: HP ProLiant DL360 G5 success stories?
The iLO is a completely separate management processor with its own network port. It runs its own OS and has its own IP address. It runs an SSL webserver for access. The iLO is accessible over the network any time the machine is plugged into power. I am not sure about IPMI access to it. The "normal" iLO option will give you exact textual console screen output and keyboard control from the moment of power-on. It will also let you toggle power and hit the reset button. I believe it uses a java applet in the browser. The "advanced" iLO option, which is license-key-unlocked, also provides graphical remote console, and virtual media. You can upload a CD or floppy image and then boot the server from it. I suspect the compatibility issue appears here - the virtual media probably emulates USB mass storage, and the OS must be able to boot from it. It has full reporting of hardware state and management log details, and the "home page" is a big summary with any faults outlined in red. In this data center we probably have 1500 HP machines with iLO. I find it an effective and reliable remote access method. We definitely prefer it using it to our Avocent IP KVMs. Joe Koberg joe at osoft dot us Johan Ström wrote: First of all, nice with all these positive answers!

Or should I still stick with We run 7.0 on these machines and it works fine - I always prefer 7.0 to 6.3 on SMP machines as it performs better. Also 7.0 works well with the iLO on these machines - I seem to recall when I installed 6.X that it didn't work too well and I had to use boot floppy images. I'd say go for 7.0 and amd64 if you can. This is where I'm a bit curious. What OS interaction does iLO do? That needs to be "compatible" i mean. On my current box I got a IPMI card that gives me (when its working..) SOL capabilities.. To what degree can I remote control with iLO? If I've understood correct, I get the exact console as on screen with kb access, over web/ssh/telnet. Is this working good? This is one of my important points for changing since its so crappy on my current box, and when the box is a couple of miles away its quite nice to have it working flawlessly.. iLO over internet?

One thing is for sure, the mfi(4) card and driver aren't shy! See below for examples of the kernel messages I get regularly. I am sure drive failure would be well noted. As to rebuilding on-line, I suspect a drive (hot-)swap will initiate the rebuild. There is a CLI tool (megarc) in ports/sysutils/megarc but I haven't tried to use it yet.

Antony Mawer wrote: Is it recommended/required to do something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m before use to ensure the drive's sector remappings are all in place, before then doing a newfs? It seems logical to read the whole device first with "conv=noerror" to be sure the drive has encountered and noted any correctable or uncorrectable errors present. Only then write the entire drive, allowing it to remap any noted bad sectors. i.e.: # dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=64k conv=noerror # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=64k The problem is that when dd hits the first bad sector, the whole 64k block containing the sector will be skipped. There could be more bad sectors there... or none... If you hit errors I would re-read the affected area with "bs=512" to get down to sector granularity. I seem to recall a utility posted to a freebsd mailing list some time ago that worked like dd(1), but would "divide and conquer" a block that returned with a read error. Intent being to get the job done fast with large blocks but still copy every sector possible off a failing drive by reducing to sector-sized blocks if necessary Unfortunately I can't find it now.

loader(8) crashing in 5.4, 5.3 loader works Dell Poweredge SC1425 nocona
I have a Dell Poweredge SC1425 server. I am running FreeBSD AMD64. I have been running 5.3-R on this machine since Feburary. I decided to go ahead and upgrade to 5.4. installkernel - OK reboot - OK mergemaster -p OK installworld - OK mergemaster - OK... reboot again CRASH... loader crashes with BTX Halted and instant reboot. Cannot read register dump because it disappears too fast. If I intercept boot with the spacebar right after hitting F1, and type in /boot/loader.old to get the 5.3 loader it works. I have since cvsupped to 5.4-p6 and rebuilt, with the same results - loader crashes. The system is working with the 5.3 loader copied over to /boot/loader.

I don't know enough about SMART to know whether I'm looking at real failing drives or some bug exposed by the interaction between drive firmware, hd controller and FreeBSD. What I've recently learned the hard way is that desktop drives have no place in a server. I've now failed 4 of 10 SATA drives (Maxtor and WD) in 1U rackmounts, and am moving on to trying the WD Raptor SATA drives (which claim to be low-end server). I have to agree with this opinion, I recently had a WD1600JD SATA fail within a couple months of installation, and the warranty replacement failed within a week. First drive failed autodetection and made servo ticking noises. Second drive had many bad sectors. Add this to the pile of dead 3yr-old 40GB WD drives from all the workstations around here. I install SATA drives in duplicate and triplicate for this reason. Preferably in removable bays with a fan. I assume they're bad out of the box... I write them full of zeros with DD, then read it all back, then do it again. If I don't get read errors then I install them.

Re: gvinum or vinum in 5.3-STABLE
Aristedes Maniatis wrote: Sorry to butt in on your thread, but it seems relevant. I am having problems with gvinum under 5-STABLE and a RAID 0 array of two disks. The array works perfectly until reboot. Then, when the machine comes back up the plexes are marked as stale. Issuing these commands fixes the problem until the next reboot: Once the plexes are UP, issue a 'gvinum saveconfig'. Then try rebooting and see what happens. This has worked for me before with 5.3-R, and today with a recent 5.3-STABLE. Joe Koberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] gvinum setstate up storage.p0.s0 gvinum setstate up storage.p0.s1 Things I've tried: * Googling for answers * commenting out the fstab entry at boot and then manually mounting the partition after boot * inserting gvinum in /boot/loader.conf * copying the vinum script in /etc/rc.d/vinum and making a gvinum equivalent * trying to shutdown gvinum at shutdown time (but "gvinum stop" doesn't work) * fsck * rebuilding gvinum array Is there some shutdown procedure that should gracefully shutdown the RAID? There is a process which opens files on the RAID and runs continuously until shutdown. Could it be holding the RAID open too long and could this staleness? From what I can tell the staleness doesn't affect any data - everything is OK once brought up.

Re: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA - A possible FIX! turn off ACPI
Zsolt Kúti wrote: My system produces these messages that I already know well from this list (as well ;): ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=213249674 Like many people I was confronted with "TIMEOUT - READ_DMA" and "TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA" errors on my drives. I was frustrated. But I found a workaround: Turning off ACPI. I just received a Highpoint RocketRaid 1640 controller, 2 Maxtor 300GB drives, and a Supermicro 5-drive SATA cage. I am testing this configuration for a storage server. I am using an old motherboard, DTK brand, Slot 1. 300A Celeron. Under a fresh install of 5.3-RELEASE I am unable to read or write both drives heavily at the same time. One drive alone seems to work OK. When I run dd blasting both drives with seqential IO, I get TIMEOUT - WRITE(READ)_DMA. Repeatably, within 15 seconds. However I got a good test before I installed 5.3-R, the box was running with 5.3-BETA. Only difference was I booted without ACPI. So I rebooted the freshly installed 5.3-R without ACPI, and It works! I can read at 50MB/s per drive concurrently (hitting PCI bus speed limit?), and write at 30MB/s per drive concurrently. No errors so far, and its been dd'ing for a half hour. I hope this report helps someone!

PC card problems on 5.3-R: "CIS is too long -- truncating""pccard0:Orinoco Gold, SMC 2532W-B
I am using a Toshiba Tecra 730XCDT, a 150MHz Pentium laptop. It has a ToPIC 95B Cardbus controller. The BIOS can place the controller into "PCIC-compatible" or "Cardbus/16-bit" modes. In Cardbus mode, my 3com 3c3FE575CT 100mbit card works fine. However my two wireless cards, an Orinoco Gold and an SMC 2532W-B, give the following message upon insertion: CIS is too long -- truncating pccard0: card has no functions cbb0: PC Card card activation failed "pccardc dumpcis" says "0 slots found" In PCIC-compatible mode, FreeBSD does not recognize the card controller. The wi cards work OK under PCIC mode in NetBSD 1.6.2. The 3com card does not. NetBSD does not seem to work with them in cardbus mode.

Re: freebsd 5.3 have any problem with vinum ?
secmgr wrote: No, I mean self corrupting raid5 sets during initialization. Discussed about 2-3 weeks ago. In the following message you seemed to claim that adding 64 sectors of slack to the beginning of the vinum partition fixed this problem, as I suggested. Did that fix it or not? The reason is empirically derived. When I created a 7 disk raid 5 set using "len 0" or all the space available, the raid set would be corrupt after initializing. Every time. When I reserved back that extra space, no corruption. (freebsd 4.10-p3) There was a thread on this a few days ago. jim Joe Koberg joe at osoft dot us ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: newfs -v on vinum raid5 panics system (4.10-p3 RELEASE)
secmgr wrote: partition the same size as the slice (c=h), and then let the subdisks use the entire partition (len 0), the raid set is corrupted every time after initializing. This usually leads to a kernel panic during newfs. If I leave some amount free, (ie the subdisk only uses 8000mb of a 8675mb drive) no problem. If i'm RTFM'ing correctly, it looks like it should reserve 132kb per drive. I guess I assumed that would be automagically reserved, or if it's supposed to be, it's getting walked on. Next, I disklabel each drive (they're all identical) # /dev/da0s1c: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 177678270unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 1105*) h: 177678270 vinum# (Cyl.0 - 1105*) I alway leave 64 sectors free at the beginning of the disk: h: 1776776364vinum# (Cyl.0 - 1105*) I think this is where the partition tables live, you are probably overwriting them when vinum writes its metadata. I think a normal UFS filesystem will leave 64 sectors of slack space at the beginning of the partition, but vinum may not. I may also be totally wrong.
