HP 735/125 for donation in Adelaide, Australia

2009-04-17 Thread Graham Gower
This unit has been gathering dust for too long now and I figure
someone else may as well have a play with it. Its pretty heavy, maybe
25kg, so I'd prefer local pickup. I'd rather give it to a developer,
but if there is no interest I may change my mind.

No monitor or keyboard etc. It has two 50 pin SCSI drives (2gb, 1gb),
one of which is not well secured. The most recent dmesg I have from it
is below.

COMPAT_43 discouraged, yet enabled by default?

I'm a little confused that options(4) says COMPAT_43 is discouraged,
while it's on by default in /sys/conf/GENERIC. Can someone hit me with
a cluestick?

The real problem with FPGA development is the lack of free development
tools. Uploading to an FPGA depends on the use of non free (i.e. big,
bloated and buggy) software.

Last year I administrated a network for a distributed web application
written in Python. It was initially designed use Twisted 2.0.

We came to the conclusion that Twisted's asynchronous handling of
sockets was completely non-scalable.
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/578

I can't comment as to quality of code, but I'd look for an alternative
if you're expecting
large volumes of traffic to/from your web app.

Re: Pf que for voip

2006-02-02 Thread Graham Gower

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


Before tinkering with queues, you might like to figure out your usable
upload bandwidth to know what you're playing with. I would consider my
VoIP altq rules a work in progress at the moment, but defining the
upload bandwidths seem to be quite sensitive.

I have ADSL PPPoA 1536/256 kbit/s and define my upload bandwidth as
212kbit/s and VoIP seems to be working great (quality at both ends).
However if I define my upload bandwidth as 213kbit/s then it is as if
I have just switched altq off. Setting it lower than 212kbit/s then
gradually hurts download speeds (with pri of empty acks to minimize
that problem coming second to VoIP).

So it might be a good idea to know what you have to play with first.
If you estimate too high, your VoIP queues are not going to be effective
and you might waste lots of time trying to figure out why queues which
should be working fine, are not.


This begs the question, what should you do if your bandwidth is variable?

In my neck of the woods ADSL2 has been rolled out, which allows 
theoretical 24000/1000 kbit/s. Of course, actual speeds depend on the 
distance from the exchange. When the line resynchs, speeds change. One 
day I might get 8000/900, another day its 7500/850.


How do I tune altq for that?
I suppose those on dialup have similar problems.

No, I contacted Carl-Daniel Hailfinger last year for said documentation
and he was not helpful at all. He claimed that nvidia would not like it,
so he would not give out his reverse engineered documentation - any
BSD driver would need to reverse engineer the GPL code.

Are you by chance using a rule such as:
rdr on $int_if inet proto tcp from ($int_if) to any port foo -> bar
instead of:
rdr on $int_if inet proto tcp from !($ext_if) to any port foo -> bar

Re: nfsd send error 55

2005-06-05 Thread Graham Gower
I had a similar problem with nfs after enabling packet queueing (CBQ)
on the interface. I've since disabled queueing on the internal interface as
an interim solution, but am planning on installing an additional NIC
for nfs stuff.

I experienced the nfsd send error 55 with a linux client too.

btw,
$ grep 55 /usr/src/sys/sys/errno.h 
#define ENOBUFS 55  /* No buffer space available */
