Re: OT: Old School Unix vs. Modern Day Support Professionals - was (Defending OpenBSD Performance)
Most long term OpenBSD users know of THEOS. The reason is simple; the scumbag company behind that OS tried to use reverse domain hijacking (i.e. a bogus dispute claim) to steal the THEOS.COM domain name from it's owner, namely Theo de Raadt.

realtime mirroring and openbsd ?
Hi all, I have to setup a full redundant installation for a web services in view of having failover from one machine to the other. So data need to be replicated fin quasi realtime. There is solution like drbd on linux that works like a raid1 over tcp, but I wonder if there is any solution that would allow me to do it on openbsd ? also is there any distributed fs that could work over openbsd ? - benont

If your reliability requirements are higher than in the unlikely event hardware breaks, someone walks up to the rack and moves the disks to the cold spare machine, you have a heck of a lot more cases to think about first. DRBD is a RAID and the same rules of RAID and backups apply. What if some of your data gets corrupted? How do you recover and how long will *that* take? How will you handle upgrades - will you only mirror data or larger parts of the OS? How long would it even take to fsck the DRBD volume after the primary machine crashes, and how long is that compared to swapping the disks? One way to think about, for a typical DB based web service, is to rsync your static files in cron and use your database's built in replication and other redundancy features you need. Real databases are designed to have ACID transactions, to get that with a filesystem you need more than DRBD. This way you also get two hot servers for your service instead of a slightly improved cold spare, which DRBD is. Don't get me wrong, though, DRBD does have some good uses that come to mind, like mirroring a mail server filesystem so you can take snapshots and run backups off them on another machine to avoid load on the real server. But it is not a magic 100% uptime dust, since it only really guards against hardware failure and not against user or software errors. I understand the point. My problem was more that couchdb only replicate per db and don't handle global replication of a couchdb node. But I could work with it. Thanks for the enlightenment anyway. - benont

Re: Booting problem

It has internal and external video adapters. With only internal one the system boots without any problem. dmesg output (using only internal card) is attached to the message. When I plug an external video card OpenBSD refuses to boot. It doesn't matter what a video adapter I use (I tried with three cards).

Thanks, Jeff Has your raid0.conf file changed? The one you posted earlier shows that /dev/wd1d *is* a component of that array. It has not changed. Here it is: snip Thinking about this some more, I suspect that what may be happening is that the disk still thinks it is a spare. Try blowing away the RAID partition, possibly even replace it with a regular partition and write data to it just to make sure. Then delete that, recreate the RAID partition and try again to reconstruct the component. (It may also be possible to achieve this with the -r option to raidctl, but I'm unfamiliar with the operation of this switch). Essentially, you configured the disk as a spare, now you want to override that configuration and configure it as a component. The man page does say that the spare and the component it was reconstructed from are interchangeable, but I think the system is getting confused as to just what wd1d is. Taking a different approach, you could keep wd1d as the spare, but add a 3rd disk to replace the failed component and simply reconstruct onto that (using the -B switch to raidctl) Also - dont forget about the syslog. paulm
Recent ThinkPad T series
Hi All, After years of using OpenBSD on servers, I want to take the plunge and setup an OpenBSD-based laptop. From what I gather on this list, it looks like ThinkPads are better supported than most. I've been looking at two models - the ThinkPad T400 and T400s. I've tried to determine if all the components are supported, but I'm not sure about some things. If anyone has direct experience with these models (they've been out for a year or so, I think), I'd appreciate any feedback. Here's what I've determined about support: CPU: Intel Core2 Duo (SP9600 or T9600) - yes; use AMD64 arch? ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 - yes - or - Intel GMA 4500MHD - ? UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) - probably DisplayPort video port for external monitor - ? (I'd like to be able to have two separate screens configured, though video mirroring would be OK) Intel WiFi Link 5300 - yes Sound card (no specs available) - ? Bluetooth - yes through ports 5 in 1 or 7 in 1 Media Card Reader - standard USB storage device? Integrated camera - no Fingerprint reader - no One serious drawback is that I can't find a place locally that sells them, so I can't find out how they feel, sound, or how good the screen looks. I'd appreciate any comments about these aspects also. Thanks, Michael
