check carp(4) and ports/net/ifstated. You can use identical advbase
configuration on both nodes and prevent service migration back from
second node to first, if first node will reboot.
also, take a look one{start,stop,restart} options for rcNG designed
initscripts.

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf was the issue here; I increased its value and now I
no longer get the buffer space error. Furthermore, the write speed issue
was also tied to a hardware raid controller issue. After fixing that
issue, and with just the following:

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=1048576
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=131072

I can start ggated with -R 262144 -S 262144 as well as the ggatec and
see write speeds of 60+MB/s. I may play around with the settings more
(and see if any further speed improvements occur), but this is quite
acceptable at this point. (For the record nmbclusters is set to 32768).

The next part of the project will be writing the freevrrp failover
scripts to deal with I/O locking issues that will happen if the ggated
server fails, etc.

For values of net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space more than
524288 you also need to adjust kern.ipc.maxsockbuf

Try this configuration for example:
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=2049152
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=1024576
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=1024576

I have tried both the settings ideas suggested above but I cannot even
get out of the gate with those. Setting net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space to
anything higher that 131072 results in ggated bailing with the error:
# ggated -v -a 10.10.0.19
info: Reading exports file (/etc/gg.exports).
debug: Added 10.10.0.0/24 /dev/amrd1 RW to exports list.
debug: Added 10.10.0.0/24 /dev/amrd3 RW to exports list.
info: Exporting 2 object(s).
error: Cannot open stream socket: No buffer space available.
error: Exiting.

setting net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space to 131072 allows me to start
ggated with the default R and S values of 131072; anything higher
results in "no buffer space" errors. At 131072 ggated starts but then I
cannot even open a new connection (like ssh) to the server as the ssh
client bails with "no buffer space available".


Did you also set kern.ipc.nmbclusters="32768" in /boot/loader.conf and 
reboot?  It sounds like you did not as this is the exact same problem I 
came across before adjusting that value.


<>


This is on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELENG box i386 SMP using the amr driver (SATA
Raid using LSiMegaRaid.


Do you have the cache BBU fitted (Batery Backup Unit) and the array 
caching set to write back?  Also have you tested writing to the array 
locally without ggate to test the write speed?




The odd thing is that even after I set the send and recvspace down to
values like 65536, I continue to get the no buffer error when trying to
connect to it remotely again.



I found that the easyest way to fix this was to reboot the system with 
good values for net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space.

I have tried both the settings ideas suggested above but I cannot even
get out of the gate with those. Setting net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space to
anything higher that 131072 results in ggated bailing with the error:
# ggated -v -a 10.10.0.19
info: Reading exports file (/etc/gg.exports).
debug: Added 10.10.0.0/24 /dev/amrd1 RW to exports list.
debug: Added 10.10.0.0/24 /dev/amrd3 RW to exports list.
info: Exporting 2 object(s).
error: Cannot open stream socket: No buffer space available.
error: Exiting.

setting net.inet.tcp.{send,recv}space to 131072 allows me to start
ggated with the default R and S values of 131072; anything higher
results in "no buffer space" errors. At 131072 ggated starts but then I
cannot even open a new connection (like ssh) to the server as the ssh
client bails with "no buffer space available".

This is on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELENG box i386 SMP using the amr driver (SATA
Raid using LSiMegaRaid.

The odd thing is that even after I set the send and recvspace down to
values like 65536, I continue to get the no buffer error when trying to
connect to it remotely again.
