Now plus 104 and then about two hours Dear Agaya, In and outgoing mostly mean that there is a duplex mismatch of somesort between your machine and the switch to which you are connected to. It could mean that your machine is performing on half duplex and that more packets then possible are being sent. It might not be entirely visible on the machine itself, but on the connected switch you should be able to see the same information. On a cisco that would mean: sh interface fa0/1 (for example) where you will find various counters. Since there are only a few packets being error'ed, it could mean that it doesn't heavily interfere with it. When the rate increases more and more something is evily wrong. Please check cabling as well.

[pfSense Support] Preload upgrade
Is there a way to preload an upgrade on a device and then have it do it's install and reboot later? In other words, can I copy the new release to a particular directory on a pfSense device and then ssh and execute script and then have it reboot with a saved configuration? Thank you Dwane

Hi Tim, On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 10:29 PM, Tim Nelson tnel...@rockbochs.com wrote: - Gerald A geraldabli...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Tim, Adding RAM won't increase MBUFs, if I remember correctly.

So, you can tweak it without adding RAM.

Looking at my edge firewall, I see MBUF usage like this: 738 /1845 which is very odd since that box also has 256MB RAM. The only difference is that my edge box has 2x128MB DIMMs and my core (problematic box) has a single 256MB DIMM. Are the MBUF values calculated randomly? Where do they come from? I tried doing some research on this one, and wasn't as successful. From what I recall, there is some important constant somewhere in the kernel sources that sets this up initially. It might now additionally be sized by RAM or some other magic, and since it's a dynamic tunable, you can tweak it at boottime (or anytime). I'd be surprised if it was random. One thing you did mention was that your core box has 5 interfaces -- my off the cuff guess would be that mbufs are added as the number of interfaces increases. It would make sense, since you would potentially have more network traffic requiring more resources. Thanks, Gerald.

Use the console upgrade menu. Yeah, use SCP to upload the update file somewhere (like /root), then use the console upgrade to point it to that filename on the local filesystem when you're ready to upgrade. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
[pfSense Support] RRD - Queue graphs

[pfSense Support] gmirror health notify?
I'm running gmirror on pfsense 1.2.3 and it is running fine. I have a small shell script that checks and parses the output of gmirror list. I use it for my freebsd 8 boxes and have it email root each night. What options might I have with pfsense for croning this script and then somehow having it email me?? I'm looking for a way to monitor gmirror. It doesnt have to be like a watchdog..once a day is fine... Thanks- -- J.D.
