Re: [leaf-user] Wanted: easy way to see load over time
Eric, A very effective but not so easy way to see exactly what sort of traffic your router has been moving, is to install a NetFlow probe on your router. It will forward flows to a NetFlow collector, permitting further analysis and graphing on the traffic. You would then be able to categorize the traffic (for example http/ftp/mail/p2p/other for in/out, by host/subnet, period of time) quite precisely. Some pointers: * A NetFlow probe that runs on Bering-uClibc: fprobe-ulog (I compiled it successfully but no extensive tests done) [1] * A NetFlow collector / processor: NfDump [2] * A NetFlow web-based reporting engine: NfSen [3] Hope this may help you, Philippe J.

Re: [leaf-user] CF Card Issues
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We use with no issue CF cards on my systems that are neo similar to the system. We've used only sandisk cards ( both 32 M / 64 M depending on avaliability at the stores) plus a 8 M card from a Canon digital camera. We use bering 1.0-stable with a modified intrd (with the modules for ide) (at the time we do not found a complete setup for CF so we amused ourserves playing with the configuration tht is very simple to manage) We program the cards initially with dd and then using fdisk,syslinux and a copy from a directory on our suse box. Many chenges on configuration (mainly shorewall, but also interface on firewall tht go up and down on exibitions) and all seems to work fine. Only a card crashed during the initial experiments: not in the firewall but in the cf pcmcia adaptor (I drop that cf in a drawer and, years later, forgotten the accident, I reused it without problems on a system called 'Lazarus' :-) ) We have 2 fw in production for 2 years in our company, in the same time 4 in other companies and 2 up and down to perform services into exibitions. We usually shut down gracefully the fw when make changes and then power up and never have trouble with the backup, but some times, in the first experiments we shut down and power up usin the power switch without problems. IMHO the CF thrashing it is not a problem of 'unomunting' but a problem of sync (of course the unmount force a sync so it helps): remember that writing can be VERY slow. Hope this can help Giovanni Franza p.s.: only a word to say a big THANK to all people involved in leaf: you are GREAT!

RE: [leaf-user] CF Card Issues
Is anyone running CF with absolutely no issues?? Hi Bob, I am running one Bering 1.2 and two Berings uClibc 2.2.3 on Soekris 4801 and pcengines' WRAP platforms with some different almost-noname flashes. I never had any problems, but the very first time: Namely, fully determined to do it from scratch, I deleted the master boot record on my first flash. I then recreated it with fdisk but the flash geometry it defined was wrong. The same thing happened when doing it on Windows XP. With a functionally dead flash I went to the store where I bought it and dd-ed an original copy of a MBR from a brand new flash to my flash. Then it all went smoothly. None of my flashes ever failed. I transfer packages to a flash with scp and I modify config files on it remotely. But I do always umount the flash before rebooting.

Hi Eric, like Charles answered yesterday, I too used snmp lrp packages on my LEAF boxes and created views of the stored data with Cacti, a MRTG like package on a separate 233 MHz Redhat box. But Cacti seems rather demanding on the processor so my monitoring (though on a dedicated machine) was slow in response. If you are after a solution that could generate the badwidth reports through HTTP directly out of the LEAF box without seriously eating the processing power for packet handling, that would be - by my oppinion - a nice and simple option to the user.

Re: [leaf-user] CF Card Issues
Auto, LBA, or CHS? Consider this: - Your controller is setup for Auto - Your CF is detected as LBA (even though it's = 512MB, all CFs are supposed to support LBA, my understanding) - Next day, your BIOS is having a bad-hair-day, CF is now detected as CHS (but you don't notice the boot message! - this can be due to BIOS or CF bugs... cabling, etc.) - You begin to experience problems with corruption, strangeness/weirdness Could this be the problem? The question is, will the CF boot with the wrong HD parameters, I believe the answer to this is, yes, in some cases. I have a few Lex CV860s. They detect my Sandisk industrial's as LBA. But my newer CV863A detect them as CHS. I hard set = 512MB CFs to CHS. Never a problem. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[leaf-user] Module for rtl8139
Hi all - I have not been able to find the rtl8139.o module for Bering uClibc. I found it for Bering 1.2 in the modules tar.gz in the net/ directory, but it was not in the Bering uClibc (I looked in the modules tar.gz for both 2.2.3 and 2.3-beta4 (2.4.26 and 2.4.31 kernels respectively)). Do I need to compile this module myself, and if so, how do I go about that?
