Re: Freeze with Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
I'll have to disagree a bit here. Manufacturers go through cycles and usually there is one that stands out on a size/period. Manufacturers almost never change the manufacturing process over time for a particular drive. They will update firmware as time goes buy. So a good drive today is going to be equally good in a few years. The thing I disagree with is that there are very good 2TB drives out there. The trick is to have enough of a brand (usually a few hundred) to start to understand it's personality. If you have volume you can pretty easily determine which manufacturer is good today and sucked yesterday. And when a new generation drives come out it starts all over again. Oh and be safe, make backups. FWIW On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 11:11:52PM -0500, Nick Holland wrote: On 12/10/10 17:25, Paolo Aglialoro wrote: ok, what manufacturers are left??? :)) just toshiba??? I'm going to say Anyone who says brand X is great and Y is crap has just exposed themselves as a newbie in the computer business. :) I've seen every make of drive have some real stinkers, and also build drives that don't seem to die. Unfortunately, by the time you can say, This model is really good or this model is a disaster, it's too late, the drive has been out of production for six months (or has had its production processes changed, and the old results don't represent the current production runs). One of the worst drives in terms of quality and failure I ever saw was the Seagate ST225. One of the best was...uh...the Seagate ST225. The difference was at the beginning, the ST225 was a cutting edge drive, a whopping 20M of storage in a half-height case, with a label on the drive listing dozens of bad sectors. By the end of its production run, the bad sector tables on almost all ST225 drives were COMPLETELY empty, they were 100% good out of the box, and would run long past their useful life. By this point, they were old tech and Just Worked. (ok, the worst drives I ever had were JTS. One day, I was overly frustrated at all the major drive makers, and saw these JTS brand drives, and figured they either had a good idea or a bad one. Turned out to be bad beyond my imagination... Fortunately, they seem to have vanished from the world shortly after they arrived, but... *shudder*) I discovered (quite) a few years back that you could toast a Samsung disk on demand using the Novell disk test utility. Now, I can't seem to get one to fail. Right now, if you buy a 2TB disk, expect it to be unreliable. Expect a 300G drive to last for quite some time (if you can find one). You still have to have backups, you still have to have plan for what you do until it is repaired (failure tolerance), and you have to have a plan for how you will repair it (failure recovery). If you are deploying a thousand machines, yeah, it would be really nice to know that this particular production run will blow 200 drives in the expected life span of the project and that another model and production run would blow 50, and buy the one that will fail only 50, but you won't have that kind of information until the project is done. For small projects, all drives of all types, technologies and interfaces can and do fail. Be ready for it. Have a backup, have a failure tolerance and recovery plan. Here's another thought: for maximum data retention, your drives (and the rest of your systems) *must fail* from time to time, and do so often enough to keep you remembering that they DO fail to keep your backup solutions working and your failure tolerance and recovery plans useful. Go enough years without an oh poop incident, you get cocky and sloppy. I can't prove that statement, but if you don't believe me, you might prove it for me. :) Me? I usually buy whatever is cheap and on sale.

ifconfig(8) bridge(4) ifcost not working?
Hi All@, Has anyone trying to set an interface cost on a bridge(4) devices? It doesn't seem to work to me. What I'm trying to do is to create a link with L2 redundancy. I can't use trunk due to the nature of multi operator network. So I create both vlan(s) on both links and higher the cost on backup links. I can't do it on the backbone switch because this is a shared multipoint backbone. When I tried; #ifconfig bridge0 ifcost vlan4010 1000 The machines replies; ifconfig: bridge0: 1000: invalid argument dmesg: OpenBSD 4.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #11: Sun Nov 21 06:48:46 WIT 2010 r...@border-rf.mygreenlinks.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP RTC BIOS diagnostic error ffixed_disk,invalid_time cpu0: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3220 @ 2.40GHz (GenuineIntel 686-class) 2.41 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,S SE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM real mem = 2142744576 (2043MB) avail mem = 2097610752 (2000MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 03/26/07, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0x7fbe4000 (43 entries) bios0: vendor Intel Corporation version S3000.86B.02.00.0054.061120091710 date 06/11/2009 bios0: Intel S3000AH acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S1 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT SLIC FACP APIC WDDT HPET MCFG ASF!

Re: symbol ( - - - - ) size mismatch, relink your program
Sorry folks, I was to quick in posting. Here are the details: I've installed from what is (was) today on snapshots on ftp server. Then I used the same ftp snapshot mirror for packages. That's all, no CVS, no compile, just plain install from what is (was) on snapshots - base packages. This was after a long pause of using OpenBSD as a desktop, I was using it only as a router. I had to do this to give a try to Ubuntu, but I was disappointed with it and came back to old and stable stuff. I did the same install like in the old times, get the snapshot and go. First, my ATI HD4350 refused to startx, effectively putting my display in some unusable state: I had to remove power from display to get it back online. I searched the archive and found out that Xorg became a joke since Intel put some code in it. Too sad. Then I got the messages about symbol size mismatch. I've installed empathy but got some strange messages like Cannot execute the script ... (not a manual?) and empathy refused to start being unable to load some lib.so files. Now I replaced the ATI HD4350 with ATI X1650 and managed to get X working. Are there new things in snapshot which I don't know ? Should I wait for another compile of packages, to have a date close to the base compile time ? If X is so crappy, is there another thing to use ? Many thanks.

easy snapshot updates
My home internet connection, for various reasons, tends to alternate between the two quality levels of blows balls and blows giant balls. This makes downloading and installing new snapshots an exercise in frustration. I noticed that binary patches, as made by bsdiff (thank you Colin Percival), could reduce the download time significantly, if only there was patch generating machine in the sky (sorry, cloud). So I made one. Link below. I've been using this with i386 for a while now. At first I more or less hand generated the updates, but now it's all automatic. Even including amd64. Basically, it's a perl script that downloads a database of patches and applies them. There's a little bit of labor involved in setting it up, but after that, you can run the script whenever you like and it will take care of business. I generate snap diffs up to every day, but the script will download batches if you care to only update on weekends or something. The only real requirement (besides a few packages) is that you start off running a snapshot I have diffs for. This goes back about a week for i386, and about 2 days for amd64. And you need to have all the sets installed (including X), or there will be bitching and whining. Please pay attention to the part about creating /var/db/bluesnapper/etc and xetc directories. Note that these are not official, and about the only promise you'll get that I'm not secretly inserting trojans into everything is that it's not worth my time to do so. Anyway, more detailed instructions and a link to the actual script are below. I think it works. http://www.tedunangst.com/snapper.html

I don't mean to brag, but my Radeon HD4350 works fine with X. Sending a dmesg to the list is never a bad idea if hardware is misbehaving. Are you using an xorg.conf? Incidentally, if you are using a snapshot then you should use the ports.tar.gz that comes with the snapshot, the packages that may be available won't necessarily work (they usually do, but it's not by design). There was a thread about it recently, I'm afraid I can't recall the title though. Patsy

Geomview is adamant that their extension should be .Ngv (N == section). The man command doesn't find such files, however, if I rename them to .N all is well. Is there a precedent for dealing with this? It looks as though editing /etc/man.conf would work, but it seems...messy. I tried to look at the FreeBSD port, but FreeBSD seems quite happy with the .Ngv extension. It works on what was -current/amd64 about a week ago (and has been working consistently on -current/amd64's since my original submission. Any advice would be appreciated.

can't create softraid crypto volume
I'm trying to set up a softraid crypto volume on top of a disk partition /dev/wd0j (on an i386 laptop running 4.8-release). I'm using # bioctl -c C -r 10 -l /dev/wd0j softraid0 to try to initially create the softraid volume. I expected this to prompt me (twice) for a passphrase, then give me a softraid0 device somehow accessible as /dev/sd0 or suchlike. Instead, it complains bioctl: ioctl: Invalid argument while my console window says softraid0: Invalid metadata format What am I doing wrong? What's the right way to initially create a softraid crypto volume on top of a disk partition? Is there a FM I should R to be enlighted (beyond softraid(4) and bioctl(8) which I've already read)? thanks, ciao, -- -- Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply] jth...@astro.indiana-zebra.edu Dept of Astronomy, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral. -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
OpenBSD 4.8's bsd.mp doesn't detect 4GB Memory
Hi guys. Recently I installed OpenBSD 4.8 and found out that it can't detect 4GB memory on my amd64 box. From the output of dmesg I can see it detects all the memory hardware (4x1G memory bars). Yet it can only use about 3.5G of them, like an i386 kernel does. I've googled the issue and some say one has to 'config' the default kernel (i.e., bsd.mp). But I am not very sure that I know how to do that... My question is: Is there anything I can do to make bsd.mp detect all the 4G memory on my amd64? There must be some way... I think. Many Thanks! -- When you are right be logical, when you are wrong be-fuddle.

Easy to do, 'specially in the learning phase (create, change...ashes left behind). Did you zero the start of your wd0j partition? is wd0j of fstype RAID in disklabel? Nick.

Can you please point me to what values I should be looking out for? You want to look for any of the counters in the Counters section besides 'match' increasing A Lot. How much depends on your specific situation, but if you get a feel for what you see when you're NOT having problems, you should be able to see if any of the counters increases suddenly. In your case, the most likely ones are: - memory - congestion - state-limit Thanks Ryan!!
Re: symbol ( - - - - ) size mismatch, relink your program

Here are the details: I've installed from what is (was) today on snapshots on ftp server. Then I used the same ftp snapshot mirror for packages. That's all, no CVS, no compile, just plain install from what is (was) on snapshots - base packages. At least 'sysctl kern.version' will be fine This was after a long pause of using OpenBSD as a desktop, I was using it only as a router. I had to do this to give a try to Ubuntu, but I was disappointed with it and came back to old and stable stuff. I did the same install like in the old times, get the snapshot and go. First, my ATI HD4350 refused to startx, effectively putting my display in some unusable state: I had to remove power from display to get it back online. I searched the archive and found out that Xorg became a joke since Intel put some code in it. Too sad. OpenBSD has its own version of X based on Xorg called Xenocara. (www.xenocara.org) man radeon (because there is RV710 Radeon HD 4350/4550). So your card is supported, but you must send your dmesg, xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log and probably 'pcidump -v' (because there will be details about your card). Then I got the messages about symbol size mismatch. I've installed empathy but got some strange messages like Cannot execute the script ... (not a manual?) and empathy refused to start being unable to load some lib.so files. Now I replaced the ATI HD4350 with ATI X1650 and managed to get X working. Are there new things in snapshot which I don't know ? Should I wait for another compile of packages, to have a date close to the base compile time ? If X is so crappy, is there another thing to use ? Many thanks.
