I'm mounting my ports tree via nullfs, which has been working fine for a year. Any ideas, or further info needed? Hi, Whats specifically broken ? Two of the freebsd tinderbox machines are RELENG_8 from Dec 3 and they are fine. However, they dont use nullfs, just zfs and ufs. Is it just nullfs thats broken ? What are the errors you are getting ? I updated after that. mount_nullfs /usr/ports.cvs /usr/local/tinderbox/portstrees/FreeBSD/ports fails with resource conflict avoided. I'll now rebuild GENERIC from scratch (including make clean) to see if that helps. Tried switching to NFS, this appears to work now. FWIW, i can't find this error message (resource conflict avoided) anywhere in /usr/src, /usr/include, nor /usr/ports on RELENG_8 source dated from 2 hours ago. grep -ri resource conflict /usr/src does return some results, but nothing that looks identical to the string you posted. Only reason I'm pointing this out: it would be good to find the commit that breaks things for you, if there is such a commit, but we need something to key off of. Perhaps OP means resource deadlock avoided? Such message appears if you try to mount same mount point with nullfs twice - which doesnt have sense. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

On 5/17/09, Bill Paul wp...@freebsd.org wrote:
So. I decided to test FreeBSD 7.2 on my Averatec AV1020 ED1 laptop. (It
currently has 6.0-RELEASE on it, and while it runs fine, I figured now
was a good time to update it.) I ran into two problems with it, and I
thought it would be a good idea to share how I resolved them, just in
case anyone else is foolish enough to follow in my tracks.
The laptop has a RaLink RT2560 wireless chipset. The ral(4) driver
supports this chip out of the box, however that driver doesn't support
WPA2 Enterprise, which I need for work. To get around this, I use
the Windows NDIS driver with Project Evil. Unfortunately, the driver
that comes with the laptop (version 3.0.3.) is buggy, and will
trigger a kernel panic in certain conditions. It seems to have trouble
parsing information from certain newer kinds of devices, which causes
some of the code inside the driver binary to dereference a bogus pointer.
This is not a problem with FreeBSD or Project Evil: I discovered that
the same driver blue-screens Windows XP as well (a testament to just
how closely Project Evil emulates Windows: it even emulates its crashes).
Luckily there is a slightly newer driver available that fixes this issue
(3.1.0.000), though I had to hunt a bit to find it. I put copies of
the .SYS and .INF at:
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/7_2_RELEASE/wifi
The other problems I had were with graphics. The Averatec has an Intel
82855GME graphics controller. With FreeBSD 6.0, I had it working nicely
with DRI and everything. With FreeBSD 7.2 and xorg 1.6.0, I saw some
peculiar problems.
The most glaring issue was that after running X -configure for the first
time and testing the resulting xorg.conf file, I found that the X server
would not respond to the mouse or keyboard. After some digging, I found
that this was due to the AutoAddDevices feature (described in xorg.conf(5))
being on by default. If AutoAddDevices is on, then AllowEmptyInput is also
turned on, but the description for AllowEmptyInput says: If AllowEmptyInput
is on, devices using the kbd, mouse or vmmouse driver are ignored. I
don't know what's supposed to happen instead, but it wasn't working. I
had to add:
Option AutoAddDevices False
to my xorg.conf to turn this off in order for my mouse and keyboard to
work.
On a related note, the X server seems to ignore a lot of what you put
in xorg.conf in favor of its autoselected defaults. I tried to use
DefaultDepth 24 to force the screen color depth, but it seems to
always ignore this and use a depth of 32 bits. It seems to work ok, but
I thought this was odd. If I tell it to do something, it should do it.
This used to work in earlier X releases.
Well, at least with intel driver on i915GM using anything lower than
defaults will cause interesting artefacts on various games: alephone oolite.
More curiously, X -configure decided for some reason that my laptop
had two graphics cards instead of one. This apparently has to do with
the fact that the gracphic device has two PCI functions:
vgap...@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x03 card=0x031914ff chip=0x35828086
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82852GM/GME/GMV/PM, 855GM/GME Montara Integrated Graphics
Device'
class = display
subclass = VGA
vgap...@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x031914ff chip=0x35828086
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82852GM/GME/GMV/PM, 855GM/GME Montara Integrated Graphics
Device'
class = display
X -configure created a Card and Screen section for both of these, even
though it should only have created one. I had to edit the xorg.conf to
remove the duplicates. (This was something else that worked correctly in
older versions of X.)
Once I settled those issues, the X server worked, but I found that I
was unable to use DRI. FreeBSD was correctly loading the agp, drm and
i915 drivers, but the X server refused to activate DRI support. According
to the Xorg.log.0 file, it was failing to allocate a couple of regions
of physical memory from the AGP driver. I finally traced this down to
the agp_i810 code in the kernel. In agp_i810_alloc_memory(), it says:
[...]
} else if (type == 2) {
/*
* Type 2 is the contiguous physical memory type, that hands
* back a physical address. This is used for cursors on
i810.
* Hand back as many single pages with physical as the user
* wants, but only allow one larger allocation (ARGB cursor)
* for simplicity.
*/
if (size != AGP_PAGE_SIZE) {
if (sc-argb_cursor != NULL)
return 0;
[...]
I'm all for simplicity, but this is bogus: the Intel video driver wants
to allocate three ranges of physical memory for cursors,

would not respond to the mouse or keyboard. After some digging, I found
that this was due to the AutoAddDevices feature (described in
xorg.conf(5))
being on by default. If AutoAddDevices is on, then AllowEmptyInput is
also
turned on, but the description for AllowEmptyInput says: If
AllowEmptyInput
is on, devices using the kbd, mouse or vmmouse driver are ignored. I
don't know what's supposed to happen instead, but it wasn't working. I
had to add:
Option AutoAddDevices False
to my xorg.conf to turn this off in order for my mouse and keyboard to
work.
On a related note, the X server seems to ignore a lot of what you put
in xorg.conf in favor of its autoselected defaults. I tried to use
DefaultDepth 24 to force the screen color depth, but it seems to
always ignore this and use a depth of 32 bits. It seems to work ok, but
I thought this was odd. If I tell it to do something, it should do it.
This used to work in earlier X releases.
Well, at least with intel driver on i915GM using anything lower than
defaults will cause interesting artefacts on various games: alephone
oolite.
More curiously, X -configure decided for some reason that my laptop
had two graphics cards instead of one. This apparently has to do with
the fact that the gracphic device has two PCI functions:
vgap...@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x03 card=0x031914ff chip=0x35828086
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82852GM/GME/GMV/PM, 855GM/GME Montara Integrated
Graphics
Device'
class = display
subclass = VGA
vgap...@pci0:0:2:1: class=0x038000 card=0x031914ff chip=0x35828086
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82852GM/GME/GMV/PM, 855GM/GME Montara Integrated
Graphics
Device'
class = display
X -configure created a Card and Screen section for both of these,
even
though it should only have created one. I had to edit the xorg.conf to
remove the duplicates. (This was something else that worked correctly in
older versions of X.)
Once I settled those issues, the X server worked, but I found that I
was unable to use DRI. FreeBSD was correctly loading the agp, drm and
i915 drivers, but the X server refused to activate DRI support. According
to the Xorg.log.0 file, it was failing to allocate a couple of regions
of physical memory from the AGP driver. I finally traced this down to
the agp_i810 code in the kernel. In agp_i810_alloc_memory(), it says:
[...]
} else if (type == 2) {
/*
* Type 2 is the contiguous physical memory type, that
hands
* back a physical address. This is used for cursors on
i810.
* Hand back as many single pages with physical as the
user
* wants, but only allow one larger allocation (ARGB
cursor)
* for simplicity.
*/
if (size != AGP_PAGE_SIZE) {
if (sc-argb_cursor != NULL)
return 0;
[...]
I'm all for simplicity, but this is bogus: the Intel video driver
Re: stat() takes 54 msec in a directory with 94k files (even with a big dirhash)
On 5/12/09, Attila Nagy b...@fsn.hu wrote:
Hello,
I have a strange error on FreeBSD 7-STABLE (compiled on 7th May, just
few commits after the release, but an earlier kernel did the same).
I'm doing several parallel rsyncs from a machine to another (let's call
them source and destination). The source contains maildirs, so there are
some directories with a (relatively) lot of files.
The source runs an earlier (around 6.2) FreeBSD and plain softupdates
mounted UFS2 file systems.
The destination has a bigger (UFS2) filesystem, on top of gjournal,
mounted as async.
I've noticed that rsync sometimes stops moving data and the destination
machine gets sluggish. After some testing, I could catch the effect in
action (was not that hard, because it persists even for hours sometimes).
top shows around 20% system activity (there are two quad core CPUs) and
0% user. The WCPU field at rsync shows 100%.
ktrace-ing the rsync process I can see this:
31639 rsync0.04 CALL lstat(0x7fffab70,0x7fffaf70)
31639 rsync0.04 NAMI
hm33/00/16/uid/Maildir/new/1212536121.54673,S=3128

31639 rsync0.13 RET lstat 0
So according to ktrace, the stat call takes 54 milliseconds to return
for each of the files.
I have tried with the default and a pretty much raised dirhash maxmem
value, but I can still get these.
Currently I have:
vfs.ufs.dirhash_docheck: 0
vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem: 18589428
vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem: 209715200
vfs.ufs.dirhash_minsize: 2560
So dirhash has space to expand.
The directory in question contains 94493 files.
The source machine doesn't show this behaviour.

All of the rsyncs use the same file system, but with different top level
directories. During this, neither of the other rsyncs can run.
Any ideas about what could be done to work around this?
Big guess, maybe it updates atime? Try with noatime mount option.

Is there a way to tell whether the firmware they provide supports my card? Like I said, I can locate my access point (and others that are around) and ask for an IP . . . it seems as though I'm so close. I'm fairly certain that I have all of the avliable bwi(4) bits installed correctly. I dwonloaded and installed the driver and added *if_bwi_load=YES* in my loader.conf. I loaded the .ko file (bwi_v3). I downloaded and installed the firmware from dflyBSD and followed their directions. Yet I get no offer. Is the fact that I fail to get an offer indicate the firmware incompatinbility? 9 in BCM94306MP indicates that its supports 80211n and as such certainly it is not supported with bwi(4) and reason is that bwi developers do not plan to add support for 4 version firmware (when last time I played with bwi).

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the ext2fuse code could benefit from UBLIO-ization. Are you or any other volunteers happy to help out here? Well, first higher priority would be to fix existing bugs. It would be very little gain with user cache, because it is already too much IMHO slow and adding user cache will not make it faster, but that is not port problem. I'm not aware of bugs with ext2fuse itself; my work on the port was merely to try to raise awareness that a user-space project for ext2 filesystem access existed. Can you elaborate further on your experience with ext2fuse which seems to you to be buggy, i.e. symptoms, root cause analysis etc. ? Have you reported these to the author(s)? I have read TODO. Have you measured the performance? Is the performance sufficient for the needs of an occasional desktop user? Performance was not sufficient, and adding user cache will not improve access speed on first read. After mounting ext2fs volume (via md(4)) created with e2fsprogs port and copying data from ufs to ext2, reading was quite slow. Also ext2fuse after mount doesnt exits it is still running displaying debug data - explaining why project itselfs is in alpha state. I realise we are largely involved in content-free argument here, however the trade-off of ext2fuse vs ext2fs in the FreeBSD kernel source tree, is that of a hopefully more actively maintained implementation vs one which is not maintained at all, and any alternatives for FreeBSD users would be welcome. Project itself doesnt look very active, but I may be wrong. It is in alpha state as reported on SF. IMHO it is better to maintain our own because it is in better shape, but I'm not intersted in ext* as developer. -- Paul ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Are you or any other volunteers happy to help out here? Well, first higher priority would be to fix existing bugs. It would be very little gain with user cache, because it is already too much IMHO slow and adding user cache will not make it faster, but that is not port problem. Can you elaborate further on the files being left behind by the port? I didn't see this issue in my own testing.

Re: swap_pager: indefinite wait
On 11/17/08, Sossi Andrej [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I manage a www (apache), database (postgresql) and e-mail (qmail) with about 100 Internet domains. We recently purchased a DELL MD3000i server with data access through ISCSI protocol. I installed a new server with FreeBSD 7.0 compiled kernel with ISCSI (v. 2.1) and SCHED_ULE scheduler. The server's local disk configuration is: 512 MB / 1024 MB SWAP 254 MB / var 2048MB / var/ qmail 512 MB /tmp ~ 70 GB /usr The apache data (/usr/local/www), postgre (/usr/local/pgsql) and qmail (/usr/local/vpopmail) are instead on the partition on ISCSI. After installing all the necessary softwares I tested the machine as mail server for a one domain and everything worked fine for 2-3 days. I wanted to test the correct functioning of qmail and of the reading/writing on ISCSI. On the end of testing I decided to transfer all of data (www, DB and e-mail) on the FreeBSD 7.0. I compressed all the data on the original server (on tar.gz format). I transferred them on the new server and started to decompress the files. Www data have been decompressed correctly on the ISCSI disk. But while the messages were being decompressed (~80GB of tar.gz) and all the DB were being restored, the server crashed. Which application were used for decompression? The error shown was: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 31, size: 4096 I believe this can happen any time when to much of swap partition is used. If this sort of thing happens often, review memory management of application(s) that is causing such scenario, if that is application fault - you have two choices: get more RAM (this may not always help) or use another application. Increasing swap partition will not help much This message repeated every 30 seconds. While restarting with the single user mode I checked there wasn't any message after the crash in /var/log/messages. I think 1GB of swap should be enough, since with this configuration on FreeBSD 5.5 everything worked for over 270 days without reboot. The local disks are 2 of ~80GB in RAID 1 (mirror) with Gmirror before installing FreeBSD I tested the 2 disks with the badblocks software on Slackware which didn't find any r/w error. Can somebody help me understand why the system crashed this way or how to avoid future crash? It's a production server and I can't afford an out-of-service or data loss.
