Looking at your listings, you aren't trying to do a clean install, you're trying to do a complete rebuild. If you don't have your system completely built ALREADY at this point, it's a bit like trying to buy a car by putting one together, armed with a nice screwdriver. Back up, tell us if you have a system installed. IF that's true, then stop complaining about trying to install a system, because you have that, instead begin researching (by using the FreeBSD handbook) how to recompile a kernel. If you aren't at least somewhat of a programmer, then you're going to need to get a friend who IS one to help you out ... maybe, learn how to use the FreeBSD IRC channel, it's fairly good. The way it goes is, first yo uget yourself a system installed, then you worry about getting a system recompiled. Along the way you will do a whole lot of learning. BUT stop complaining about not getting your system to "work properly" unless that really is your problem, cause all you're going to do is confuse and upset people who want to help you. > > For the record, I cvsup'd to cvsup2, and I've tried that server on > another already installed 5.3-RELEASE and it worked fine.

If that were true, then it would be equally true of systems with actual multiple physical processors. In practice, multiple processors provide an obvious performance gain, and hyperthreading does, too, although it's much more modest than the gain obtained from physically independent processors. > Since FreeBSDs network stack isn't particularly well threaded, nor is > the scheduler optimized for hyperthreading, you get a big mess at the > kernel level. Nothing needs to be specially optimized for hyperthreading. All you need is at least two threads available for dispatch, with reasonably heterogenous instruction mixes that can use different parts of the processor hardware at the same time. Real-world instruction mixes are often in this category in general-purpose operating systems. > So if you have a nice application that does a lot of threaded math > operations, you might think you've achieved something, Heavily math-oriented applications (or any group of applications that contains similar instruction mixes) are among the least likely to benefit from hyperthreading, because they will tend to use the same processor logic at the same time, effectively rendering hyperthreading moot. > But what you've missed is that the overhead to manage > the "better utilization" of the dual-pipelines created > by HT costs more than it gains.

I setup 5 FreeBSD servers at once, we are converting our mail server, web server, DNS server, spam gateway, and transparent proxy machine over all at once to FreeBSD (well, in steps...but...). My experience with freebsd is considered intermediate. I installed all these boxes from the ISO. The FIRST thing I did after the install was complete was a: pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui cvsup /etc/ports-supfile (I made the supfile) cvsup /etc/ports-supfile cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2 make install cd /usr/ports/editors/pico make install I did not type anything else in between in the initial install and those commands above. The pico and bash installs failed, and only happened on this one machine. The other machines work fine. Therefore, in my opinion, either something is wrong with the hardware of the box, or something was wrong with the ISO I downloaded, because I didn't type enough commands to be able to mess anything up. Thanks for your help in advance. -Matt Chuck Robey wrote: > Matt Juszczak wrote: > >> Still can't figure out how to get my FreeBSD machine to work >> properly.

I'm trying to share my freebsd machine's internet connection with my palm via bluetooth. The freebsd machine is connected via wired ethernet to a linksys wireless access point, that is connected to my cable modem on the wan side. The linksys AP is my gateway. Bluetooth seems to be working fine. I can connect and ping the freebsd machine from my palm, but I can't get to the internet. That is, I can't ping my ISP's DNS. I thought 'nat enable yes' or 'set nat enable' would do it, but no luck. I run the following on the freebsd machine: /etc/rc.bluetooth start ubt0 sdpd rfcomm_pppd -s -C 1 -l rfcomm-server and in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf I have this: rfcomm-server: set device /dev/cuaa1 set cd off set dial set speed 115200 set timeout 0 nat enable yes set ifaddr 192.168.0.1/0 192.168.0.2/0 enable dns add default HISADDR open disable pap deny pap disable chap deny chap if I do this in ppp.conf instead: set ifaddr 10.10.0.2 10.10.0.201 255.255.255.0 where 10.10.0.2 is the wireless router(gateway), then the palm gets an ip of 10.10.0.201 just fine, and it can ping the freebsd machine (10.10.0.154) and the wireless router (10.10.0.2), but STILL can't get to the internet. Also tried setting net.inet.ip.forwarding=1. No change.

Colin, After going back and forth on this problem for weeks, Anthony finally posted the microcode version that his Adaptec controller is using. This microcode is NOT the generic Adaptec microcode that Adaptec normally supplies with that controller - instead, it is Adaptec-supplied, HP-modified code. In a case like this it is very likely a BSD driver issue - why, because the FreeBSD driver author could not test with every custom-modified microcode when he wrote the driver. There is no list out there of every computer company who has had a source license to the Adaptec microcode and made modifications to it. And naturally you would assume that anyone making mods to the SCSI microcode would have the brains not to break it. In this case that didn't happen. Most likely HP modified the Adaptec microcode because of bugs in the disks that they were supplying with the original Vectras. The reason he wasn't seeing problems with NT on the system was that as we all know Microsoft obtains samples of every name-brand system that is ever manufactured specifically for compatibility testing, and they probably already ran into this problem and put a workaround in their driver. I have noticed a similar problem on the same Adaptec controller in a Compaq system which is running Adaptec-supplied, Compaq-modified microcode and a Quantum disk drive. I have MANY systems running the same Adaptec controller that are using genuine Adaptec adapters which are using Adaptec microcode that is not modded by some computer company, that run perfectly fine. It is beyond comprehension why companies like Compaq and HP see fit to fuck around with the perfectly good Adaptec microcode. But the fact is that in my and in his system, they have done so. His three choices are to first: try a different SCSI disk from a different manufacturer, in the hopes that it might behave with the modified microcode. As I've explained to him I've had problems with Quantum SCSI disks in the past and I don't use them - if he reverts to his single Seagate disk he might get lucky and the problem go away - then he will know to buy a bigger Seagate if he needs more space. Second, he can go into BIOS and disable the on-motherboard SCSI controllers and use an off-the-shelf controller, like a cheap symbiosis or NCR one for example. Third, he can try to contact the FreeBSD developer who is assigned to the ahc() driver, tell that person that he has an HP Vectra that uses a aic7880 chipset that is running microcode that HP modified, and that his system is having problems, and offer that person his system for testing. He may need to ship his system to that developer or more likely put an IDE disk in it that has a running BSD system on it, attach a disk to the Adaptec controller, put it on the Internet and set it up for remote access so the developer can examine it. In my case, I'm going to try a different SCSI disk in hopes that the interaction between the Compaq-modified SCSI adapter and the disk drive is different and does not trigger whatever bug Compaq introduced into the Adaptec microcode. And if that doesen't work I'll just remove the SCSI adapter and throw it in the garbage and put in a genuine Adaptec adapter. Anthony cannot do this because he doesen't have a separate adapter, his SCSI chipset is on the motherboard. If he updated BIOS there's a slight possibility that the updated BIOS might carry a later rev. of microcode - but I am pretty sure with that Adaptec chipset that the microcode was in a ROM not in an EEPROM so it can't be updated. But Anthony's biggest obstacles to this are that a) he doesen't believe in bugs that appear as a result of interactions between microcode in disk drives and microcode in SCSI adapters, he seems to feel that everyone in the business exactly perfectly follows the SCSI standard when they manufacture disks and controllers. This I find strange because there have been many times disk manufacturers have posted corrected firmware for their disk drives - if nobody ever made mistakes in implementations, no one would ever post microcode updates. But for some reason Anthony does not believe in this, or if he does he is convinced that HIS disks have perfect SCSI implementations. and b) Anthony is convinced that his Vectra has an Adaptec chipset and microcode that runs that chipset that is pefectly good and identically compliant to every other Adaptec chipset, and that the problems he's having are not as a result in his hardware not being compliant with every other Adaptec adapter card, but are the result of some gross in the Adaptec driver. This despite that most people running Adaptec controllers with aic7880 chipsets in them under FreeBSD do NOT have problems. With that sort of attitude if he were to approach the author of the ahc() driver he would be told to stick his head up his ass. Anthony has to acknowledge that it is HIS SYSTEM with the modified microcode that is the problem, and REQUEST that a workaround be added to the ahc() driver through the send-pr mechanism, as has been explained to him. For sheer pigheadedness, or pride, or stupidity, he cannot bring himself to do this.

A bit late, but I remembered seeing this question when I was just about to start setting up our Officejet replacement: a HP photosmart 2610 all-in-one. We're using it as a network printer/scanner now, it's not connected through USB to one box but it can be. It has stand alone fax and scan/copy capability. Setup was easy: Install the hpoj and hpijs ports, and cups and sane. I used the cups web interface (and the info provided with hpoj or from linuxprinting) to set it up (as a client this time, not as a server which it was before when the old OfficeJet was connected to this box with a parralel cable). Url/Device is a socket: without hpoj/hpijs, with hpoj its a ptal device. In the Driver section you should be able to pick your HP model. That should be all. With KDE I can now print to it (as network printer via ptal), scan from it with Kooka (via ptal via gphoto), and I'm sure faxing will also work. Stand-alone you can just use the flatbed scanner for input, and the printer tray for output. This is an inkjet, with laserjet printing you may not need or want hpijs but I think you probably would anyway. It looks like an officejet only smaller and a bit slicker. It also supports CF and other cards (from cameras), the ptal driver (and the windows version) should present those as local scsi disks, but I haven't really sorted that out yet. The printing/scanning quality is great. The hpijs and hpoj come from HP BTW. The thing cost us ~ 340 Euro's, which would be ~ 450 USD. I wanted a network capable printer (it has its own console but also a web interface), it's just easier to use in a network. If it lasts as long as the officejet (I think ~ 7 years) its worth the buck I guess.

If you're going to run benchmarks you need to start with a clean reboot before each run and make sure all the background daemons have been killed and and the load is zero. However even then this is not a good test of HT - the point of HT is to improve throughput in multi thread workloads and the benchmark suite is basically single thread. What would be more interesting would be to run a test with a constant background load also running. In theory the HT should do a better job of balancing the load between the benchmark and the background than the BSD scheduler can on it's own. I don't have an HT box here or I'd try it but I'd love to know how it comes out if somebody is up for it. > > > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 27 00:01:39 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C6F0016A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 00:01:39 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtpq1.home.nl (smtpq1.home.nl [213.51.128.196]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 23FFA43D31 for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 00:01:39 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from danny@ricin.com) Received: from [213.51.128.134] (port=59719 helo=smtp3.home.nl) by smtpq1.home.nl with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1DFLDl-0001Gl-Iy; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 01:01:37 +0100 Received: from cp464173-a.dbsch1.nb.home.nl ([84.27.215.228]:54934 helo=desktop.homenet) by smtp3.home.nl with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1DFLDk-0008F7-NH; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 01:01:36 +0100 From: Danny Pansters To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 01:01:45 +0000 User-Agent: KMail/1.8 References: <200503191329.j2JDTi9J091703@spoon.beta.com> <200503270053.19198.danny@ricin.com> In-Reply-To: <200503270053.19198.danny@ricin.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200503270101.45737.danny@ricin.com> X-AtHome-MailScanner-Information: Please contact support@home.nl for more information X-AtHome-MailScanner: Found to be clean cc: "Brian J.

You guys have done it once again. Baited me into firing up a test that I already know the results of: Setup: Bridging em0 to em1 Load: 500Kpps, 60 bytes 3.4Ghz P4 1MB Cache FreeBSD 4.9 -> Load: 38% (I put this in for fun :-) Freebsd 5.4-Pre UP (no HT) -> Load: high 55-60% range FreeBSD 5.4-Pre SMP/HT -> Load: 70-80% (much more jumping around) The bottom line is that if you don't test things to get real world results, you don't know crap. >If that were true, then it would be equally true of systems with actual >multiple physical processors. In practice, multiple processors provide >an obvious performance gain, and hyperthreading does, too, although it's >much more modest than the gain obtained from physically independent >processors. this shows that you really are a bit foggy. Did you miss the part where with 2 processors you actually do have 2 processors? I can make an argument that networking with 1 processor on 5.4 is better than with 2. For example, with a test similar to the above, with 2 phyiscal processors FreeBSD 5.4 will start dropping packets way before it hits 500Kpps unless you increase the interrrupts/second, which of course increases the system load. And even with the dropped packets (which should reduce the load because it doesnt have to receive and transmit the packet), the load is still higher than for 4.x with a single processor. You and many others regulary say things like "SMP is obviously faster", or "Opterons are noticably faster", but those statements are only true for certain applications. I've tested an Opteron 2.0Ghz against a 3.4Ghz P4, and the results are pretty interesting. For raw performance, ie interrupts/second handling, the P4 wins easily. The P4 wins out of the cache. But once you grow out of the cache and get more memory intensive, the Opteron beats it handily. So which is really faster? You could argue both depending on what benchmark you use. You have to test it in the environment where you plan to use it. Because the answer is almost never black and white. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Atkielski To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 23:45:21 +0100 Subject: Re: hyper threading. em1897@aol.com writes: > Yes, the theory is very nice; you've done a nice > job reading Intel's marketing garb.

If that were true, then it would be equally true of systems with actual multiple physical processors. In practice, multiple processors provide an obvious performance gain, and hyperthreading does, too, although it's much more modest than the gain obtained from physically independent processors. > Since FreeBSDs network stack isn't particularly well threaded, nor is > the scheduler optimized for hyperthreading, you get a big mess at the > kernel level. Nothing needs to be specially optimized for hyperthreading. All you need is at least two threads available for dispatch, with reasonably heterogenous instruction mixes that can use different parts of the processor hardware at the same time. Real-world instruction mixes are often in this category in general-purpose operating systems. > So if you have a nice application that does a lot of threaded math > operations, you might think you've achieved something, Heavily math-oriented applications (or any group of applications that contains similar instruction mixes) are among the least likely to benefit from hyperthreading, because they will tend to use the same processor logic at the same time, effectively rendering hyperthreading moot. > But what you've missed is that the overhead to manage > the "better utilization" of the dual-pipelines created > by HT costs more than it gains.

I'd venture that most people running user space appllications will see similar numbers. I agree tat a box running as a router is not a good candidate for HT - that wasn't the question.

It installed ok and based on how it worked, I updated my primary computer. Now I have an application for the spare computer, and I thought I would use it to verify my understanding of how CVSup works. I installed cvsup-without-gui. pkg_info shows cvsup installed. pkg_version, however, failed. "Unable to open INDEX in pkg_do" I found that pkg_version http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-5 ran ok, so the problem was the missing /usr/ports/INDEX-5. In fact there was no /usr/ports directory. I built src-all and ports-all. Now, there is a /usr/ports directory and and lots of directories and files therein. In /usr/ports, I did make fetchindex. It failed. The /usr/ports/Makeindex file was really Makeindex,v. I copied it as Makeindex, and tried make fetchindex again. It showed many errors, finally "fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue". Obviously I need to start over, this time using the CD with the full iso image. I'll do that, but.... What did I do wrong? And, What is the significance of the ",v" (comma, v) tacked on to several of the files in /usr/ports when the files were placed there by CVSup?

CVS, also known as Concurrent Version System is a mechanism which allows developers to manage codebase on which more than one individual is working simultaneously. When some change is made to a file "foo.bar" managed by a CVS, a file called "foo.bar,v" is created by the CVS. This file contains all the information about what changed and who changed it along with the comments which a developer might have provided during updating the file "foo.bar". Just to add, using the foo.bar,v file along with foo.bar, any version of the file may be created that ever existed. > > >Obviously I need to start over, this time using the CD with >the full iso image.

I generally use either the bootonly CD or the floppies to get a box on the network and pull off everything required over the network. However it is implied that you have a descent connection or you should arrange for some coffee while you install. :-) Best of Luck and welcome to the wonderful world where most of the things are free :-) Best Regards, S.

However, I was idly reading through all of the CVSup FAQ, and I found my problem. It explained that my supfile didn't have "tag=." and I knew that it did. Sure enough, a typo. I used a - instead of an =. It read "tag-.". Now, with it correct, pkg_version works.

Before you start building anything, run script(1): $ script Script started, output file is typescript $ gcc -o hello hello.c $ exit Script done, output file is typescript Then you will have a file called 'typescript' in the current working directory, which will contain everything you typed or saw on your terminal while you were within the 'scripted shell'.

Well, if you set a hostname without any real sense, like "vincent" for example, it will try to resolv it, in order to know what is you local ip. Well, I don't know why kde don't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 despite of hostname but is like that. If you don't put your hostname in your hosts file, the resolv could be very long ... and it could failed. But if it exist in hosts file, kde ask it, and the system answer immediatly.

Companies that modify things in this way usually do so because they are under the mistaken impression that they can somehow build a "better" machine by throwing away all the standard stuff and home-brewing their own branded versions of everything (the phenomenon isn't limited to just computers, either). This is one argument _against_ buying major brands; at least when you buy a no-name brand off the shelf or build something yourself, everything on the machine is likely to be conformant to industry standards. HP probably thought they were doing the world a favor by modifying the firmware--they probably thought they were "adding value," instead of diminishing compatibility and maintainability. I don't agree with them, but that's neither here nor there now. As far as I know, the disk drives themselves are off-the-shelf drives. One is a Western Digital Barracuda, and the other is a Quantum Atlas, if I remember correctly. Both were branded HP on the box, but the drives themselves carry the original manufacturers' labels. > The reason he wasn't seeing problems with NT on the system was that as > we all know Microsoft obtains samples of every name-brand system that > is ever manufactured specifically for compatibility testing, and they > probably already ran into this problem and put a workaround in their > driver. This isn't nearly as universal as you imply. Microsoft is regularly bitten by custom-modified software and hardware on computers used by its customers. That includes computers built by major brands such as HP/COMPAQ, Dell, and so on. Sometimes a vendor will have a specific configuration formally certified by Microsoft for use with Windows; but if it doesn't, or if it makes any change at all in the configuration after certification, the result may not work. The most desperate customers may actually loan some of their actual machines to Microsoft PSS in order to help the latter find problems and workarounds. The hardware vendors are not always cooperative, and sometimes they seem to be clueless about their own modifications. In this case, given that this was a high-end machine from a major brand that came with Windows NT preinstalled, it may have been formally certified by Microsoft (although I removed the pre-installed copy of French Windows NT Workstation and replaced it with U.S. English Windows NT Server, which still ran okay). But things don't always turn out so happily. > I have noticed a similar problem on the same Adaptec controller in a > Compaq system which is running Adaptec-supplied, Compaq-modified > microcode and a Quantum disk drive.

The differences in microcode are probably minor. Hardware manufacturers may be willing to let computer companies cook up custom versions of microcode, but I daresay they are far less willing to come up with custom _hardware_ for computer companies, which would cost a fortune--no computer company is likely to bring in enough business to justify a significant hardware change. So naturally the microcode can't drift too much if it has to stay compatible with the same hardware. But it can easily drift enough to screw up the software. > It is beyond comprehension why companies like Compaq and HP see fit to > fuck around with the perfectly good Adaptec microcode. But the fact is > that in my and in his system, they have done so. They want to be different. They think they are so important and so special that everything has to be altered by their magic touch. They fantasize that customers will say "no, I don't want that standard firmware, I want REAL HP/COMPAQ firmware, it's so much nicer!" Of course, that doesn't happen in real life, and if anything, the custom stuff works against them. Customers moan and groan about the custom stuff all the time. About 99% of the vendor-specific stuff serves no discernable purpose, and just makes the systems harder to use and maintain. They will run okay in the EXACT configuration that came preinstalled from the factory; but if you so much as look at a jumper, things will start to fail. > His three choices are to first: try a different SCSI disk from a > different manufacturer, in the hopes that it might behave with the > modified microcode.

No, Anthony doesn't believe that hardware failures appear when one switches from one OS to another. Either the hardware works, or it doesn't.

It's not clear to what extent these measurements represent simultaneous processing. The presumed advantage of hyperthreading resides in the ability to make better use of the processor hardware when you have more than one execution thread running AND the threads are doing entirely different things. Intel has demonstrated this by running completely different tasks at the same time on HT and non-HT systems; the HT systems consistently perform better. Both desktop and server systems can benefit from this. However, if you run measurements that consist of a single execution thread, or several execution threads performing the same type of work, HT will probably be slower than a UP environment. In this case, HT contributes nothing because the various threads are competing for the same processor hardware at the same time, so the global instruction rate does not improve with HT--and since SMP has higher OS overhead than a uniprocessor environment, the net result is a loss of performance. In order to profit from HT, then, you must have a mix of different tasks running on the system at the same time. This should be the normal case for most desktop and server systems, but it is never seen in benchmarks unless they are specifically designed to simulate this. Thus, while HT may help in real-world applications of servers and desktops, the only way to see this in measurements is to make sure they duplicate the type of instruction mix seen on these systems in real life. The actual architecture of hyperthreading is pretty straightforward, and it's pretty clear that it cannot result in degraded performance: either it improves performance, or it makes no difference. So the only question is whether or not HT improves performance enough in a real-world environment to offset the greater OS overhead of managing multiple processors. I think that with a heterogenous instruction mix of the type likely to be seen in real-world systems, it does (admittedly not by much). In some systems that are doing a lot of homogenous number-crunching, performance might go down, but it's difficult to imagine such a scenario for a server. Some desktops might be in that situation, if they are dedicated to single tasks (games, Mathematica, CAD, etc.). -- Anthony From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 27 10:03:55 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4E15B16A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:03:55 +0000 (GMT) Received: from sdf.lonestar.org (mx.freeshell.org [192.94.73.21]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D1D5743D1D for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:03:54 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from tiberius@sdf.lonestar.org) Received: from sdf.lonestar.org (IDENT:tiberius@sverige.freeshell.org [192.94.73.4]) by sdf.lonestar.org (8.13.1/8.12.10) with ESMTP id j2RA3BHk001137 for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:03:11 GMT Received: (from tiberius@localhost) by sdf.lonestar.org (8.13.1/8.12.8/Submit) id j2RA2V58002194 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 03:02:31 -0700 (MST) Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 03:02:31 -0700 From: Matt Rechkemmer To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20050327100231.GA29685@sdf.lonestar.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Subject: MRTG, and FreeBSD rl0 aliases X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:03:55 -0000 This little problem has been bothering me for sometime.

You'd think these would produce two very different graphs, since the other IP isn't as widely used. The interesting part is, the graphs report the same incoming/outgoing KBPS. Thoughts? P.S. Assuming I get all this fixed, is there a way to aggregate all those statistic in a separate graph? I tried the + methodology in the target field and got some unusual results.

Did you see in samba's log that the guest user was changed? How did you change it, with "guest user" or with "force user"? As your problem can be reproduced, increasing samba's debug level might help. Samba should log why read access was denied. If you access the samba share with mount_smbfs, do you see the same behavior? > The directory '/mnt/w2k' is owned by 'root' and the group 'wheel', the > permissions are rwxr-xr-x.

Several things happen when you move from a uniprocessor environment to an environment with two or more processors: - The total CPU time for each thread increases. - The total system load on a per process basis increases. - The total throughput of the system improves if there is more than one independent process running in the system. - Each of the processors runs more slowly than it would if it were the only processor running in a UP environment. If you run a single-thread benchmark on a MP system, you'll find that it runs more slowly than it does on a UP system. If you run multiple single-thread independent benchmarks on a MP system, you'll find that total CPU time for each benchmark increases over that required in a UP system--but the elapsed time required to complete all benchmarks substantially diminishes. To properly gauge the performance of a multiprocessor system, you must run a realistic mix of tasks on the system and measure overall throughput. If you do this, you'll find that you always come out ahead with multiple processors, even HT processors. Hyperthreading is just a special case of multiprocessing that imposes some additional restrictions. HT is much more sensitive to similarities in instruction mix across processes, because the actual processor hardware is being shared. With a sufficiently heterogenous instruction mix across multiple execution threads, this isn't a problem; but if you are running a single-threaded benchmark, or a series of identical single-threaded benchmarks, it can seriously distort your measurements. Although adding physical processors diminishes the performance of each processor, it still adds overall processing power, up to a certain point. The increment is never equal to the actual number of processors added, though; that is, if you go from one to two processors, you never get a doubling of effective processor power--it's more like 70-80%. The percentage increment gets worse with each additional processor, until you reach a point at which performance actually starts to decline (the point at which this happens is extremely hardware dependent, but it's always well beyond two processors). Hyperthreaded processors should not diminish in performance just because HT is turned on, because the hardware contention that diminishes performance in conventional MP systems is largely absent in a HT microprocessor. However, since you are really still only sharing a single processor with HT, the overall increment is much lower than it would be with two physical processors, and it is very sensitive to the instruction mix. > this shows that you really are a bit foggy. Did you miss the part > where with 2 processors you actually do have 2 processors? I actually read what Intel had to say on how the architecture works, and I spent years measuring systems the hard way (with hardware monitors and probes), so I know somewhat whereof I speak. Multiprocessing was always a significant hot-button issue with customers, as they always wanted to know how much they really gained with multiple processors (as opposed to what they had been promised). > I can make an argument that networking with 1 processor on 5.4 is > better than with 2.

Load is not a problem, as long as it's below 100%. Since individual processors slow down in MP configurations, anything that depends on raw processor speed will suffer in an MP configuration. However, overall system throughput is greatly enhanced by running with several processors. At the same time, the total processor time required to complete all tasks is greater in an MP environment than it would be in a UP environment--it's the fact that things can run in parallel that improves the throughput. Moral: if you want to avoid dropping packets in the situation you describe, increase the interrupt rate. The additional processing power of the system will make this practical. > You and many others regulary say things like "SMP is obviously faster", > or "Opterons are noticably faster", but those statements are only true > for certain applications. True, but those "certain applications" are the kind normally executed in real-world desktop and server systems. If this were not the case, multiprocessing systems would have been abandoned long ago. It's almost always better to have a single processor at 2 GFLOPS than it is to have two processors at 1 GFLOPS, but if you can't get 2 GFLOPS processors, having two 1 GFLOPS processors is the next best thing. -- Anthony From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 27 10:36:46 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C5E0A16A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:36:46 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp11.wanadoo.fr (smtp11.wanadoo.fr [193.252.22.31]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 749C843D2D for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:36:46 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from atkielski.anthony@wanadoo.fr) Received: from me-wanadoo.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mwinf1101.wanadoo.fr (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id A19AF1C000C6 for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:36:45 +0200 (CEST) Received: from pix.atkielski.com (ASt-Lambert-111-2-1-3.w81-50.abo.wanadoo.fr [81.50.80.3]) by mwinf1101.wanadoo.fr (SMTP Server) with ESMTP id 7C2F41C000A4 for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:36:45 +0200 (CEST) X-ME-UUID: 20050327103645509.7C2F41C000A4@mwinf1101.wanadoo.fr Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:36:45 +0200 From: Anthony Atkielski X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: <467157066.20050327123645@wanadoo.fr> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <8C700841A4F8661-A38-3B468@mblk-r33.sysops.aol.com> References: <1641928994.20050326192811@wanadoo.fr> <8C700529A2DFD74-A44-3A157@mblk-d34.sysops.aol.com> <439876144.20050326220638@wanadoo.fr> <8C7006AE7E80573-FAC-3B652@mblk-r28.sysops.aol.com> <49251524.20050326234521@wanadoo.fr> <8C7007D5D4D30D2-A38-3B313@mblk-r33.sysops.aol.com> <42460B1C.1050008@cloudview.com> <8C700841A4F8661-A38-3B468@mblk-r33.sysops.aol.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: hyper threading.

The kernel represents only a small part of total system utilization and throughput. Even if everything is single-threaded through the kernel, you can still get performance benefits from multiple processors, because they can run userland processes in parallel. If total system load is 5% kernel and 80% userland in a UP environment, and moving to a MP environment doubles kernel overhead, total system load has still increased by only 5%. In general, many things must be single-threaded through the kernel because of the need for proper synchronization. Thus, the kernel always shows more negative effects from MP than the system as a whole, but since it is so small in the overall picture, MP still improves global performance. -- Anthony From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 27 10:53:31 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4A58816A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:53:31 +0000 (GMT) Received: from nagual.st (cc20684-a.assen1.dr.home.nl [82.74.2.254]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CBE8E43D39 for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:53:29 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from dick@nagual.st) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) (uid 1000) by nagual.st with local; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:53:28 +0200 Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:53:28 +0200 To: freebsd-questions Message-ID: <20050327105328.GA99072@lothlorien.nagual.st> References: <20050326152442.GA11610@pooh.nagual.st> <20050326230005.GB96971@xor.obsecurity.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20050326230005.GB96971@xor.obsecurity.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i From: Dick Hoogendijk Subject: Re: gcc error X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:53:31 -0000 On 26 Mar Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Sat, Mar 26, 2005 at 04:24:42PM +0100, Dick Hoogendijk wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm getting desperate.

Recently I purchased FreeBSD latest version. But when I was installing, setup failed with an unknown error message. I came to know that this version does not support ACPI or Advanced power management system. I also got hold of the remedy. But I could not do it. Can you please suggest me to disable this feature in system through ther FreeBSD setup. Waiting for your reply. Bye. Pradeep.

I thought only system calls would be in "soft interrupt" category as they are initiated with a software interrupt instruction. By my definition, a hardware interrupt is one that is notified by the interrupt controller, and to my knowledge, timer events are hardware interrupts. Am I wrong? There's also a softclock and hardclock defined. It is as if, an interrupt handler for an interrupt reported on the controller, is termed as "hard", but a low-priority workqueue initiated by a later timer event is called as a "software interrupt" here. The distinction here mainly being made by their "priority". Would you confirm this? In my opinion this isn't the way to put it and software interrupts should only mean interrupts initiated by interrupt instructions. All this is mentioned in pp. 56-57 in the book and extends to other parts.

Several things happen when you move from a uniprocessor environment to an environment with two or more processors: - The total CPU time for each thread increases. - The total system load on a per process basis increases. - The total throughput of the system improves if there is more than one independent process running in the system. - Each of the processors runs more slowly than it would if it were the only processor running in a UP environment. If you run a single-thread benchmark on a MP system, you'll find that it runs more slowly than it does on a UP system. If you run multiple single-thread independent benchmarks on a MP system, you'll find that total CPU time for each benchmark increases over that required in a UP system--but the elapsed time required to complete all benchmarks substantially diminishes. To properly gauge the performance of a multiprocessor system, you must run a realistic mix of tasks on the system and measure overall throughput. If you do this, you'll find that you always come out ahead with multiple processors, even HT processors. Hyperthreading is just a special case of multiprocessing that imposes some additional restrictions. HT is much more sensitive to similarities in instruction mix across processes, because the actual processor hardware is being shared. With a sufficiently heterogenous instruction mix across multiple execution threads, this isn't a problem; but if you are running a single-threaded benchmark, or a series of identical single-threaded benchmarks, it can seriously distort your measurements. Although adding physical processors diminishes the performance of each processor, it still adds overall processing power, up to a certain point. The increment is never equal to the actual number of processors added, though; that is, if you go from one to two processors, you never get a doubling of effective processor power--it's more like 70-80%. The percentage increment gets worse with each additional processor, until you reach a point at which performance actually starts to decline (the point at which this happens is extremely hardware dependent, but it's always well beyond two processors). Hyperthreaded processors should not diminish in performance just because HT is turned on, because the hardware contention that diminishes performance in conventional MP systems is largely absent in a HT microprocessor. However, since you are really still only sharing a single processor with HT, the overall increment is much lower than it would be with two physical processors, and it is very sensitive to the instruction mix. > this shows that you really are a bit foggy. Did you miss the part > where with 2 processors you actually do have 2 processors? I actually read what Intel had to say on how the architecture works, and I spent years measuring systems the hard way (with hardware monitors and probes), so I know somewhat whereof I speak. Multiprocessing was always a significant hot-button issue with customers, as they always wanted to know how much they really gained with multiple processors (as opposed to what they had been promised). > I can make an argument that networking with 1 processor on 5.4 is > better than with 2. For example, with a test similar to the above, with > 2 phyiscal processors FreeBSD 5.4 will start dropping packets way before > it hits 500Kpps unless you increase the interrrupts/second, which of > course increases the system load.

Load is not a problem, as long as it's below 100%. Since individual processors slow down in MP configurations, anything that depends on raw processor speed will suffer in an MP configuration. However, overall system throughput is greatly enhanced by running with several processors. At the same time, the total processor time required to complete all tasks is greater in an MP environment than it would be in a UP environment--it's the fact that things can run in parallel that improves the throughput. Moral: if you want to avoid dropping packets in the situation you describe, increase the interrupt rate. The additional processing power of the system will make this practical. > You and many others regulary say things like "SMP is obviously faster", > or "Opterons are noticably faster", but those statements are only true > for certain applications. True, but those "certain applications" are the kind normally executed in real-world desktop and server systems. If this were not the case, multiprocessing systems would have been abandoned long ago. It's almost always better to have a single processor at 2 GFLOPS than it is to have two processors at 1 GFLOPS, but if you can't get 2 GFLOPS processors, having two 1 GFLOPS processors is the next best thing. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 27 15:58:48 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6692A16A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 15:58:48 +0000 (GMT) Received: from prosporo.hedron.org (hedron.org [66.11.182.60]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F02CC43D5A for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 15:58:47 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from ean@hedron.org) Received: from localhost.hedron.org (localhost.hedron.org [127.0.0.1]) by prosporo.hedron.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7FF56C11D; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:59:13 -0500 (EST) From: Ean Kingston To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 10:59:12 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.7.2 References: <1111937727.24385.4.camel@lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk> In-Reply-To: <1111937727.24385.4.camel@lmail.bathnetworks.co.uk> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200503271059.13101.ean@hedron.org> cc: "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" cc: Robert Slade Subject: Re: Vinum Problem X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 15:58:48 -0000 On March 27, 2005 10:35 am, Robert Slade wrote: > Hi, > > I have managed to setup a vinum volume using 2 striped disks, the volume > is created and I can do newfs on it and mount it. > > However, when I set start_vinum="YES" in rc.conf, vinum loads then I get > panic, followed by hanging vnode. > > I'm using 5.3. > > Any pointers please. In 5.3, you need to use gvinum instead of vinum. To do this set start_vinum="NO" in /etc/rc.conf and set geom_vinum_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf. gvinum will read your vinum configuration just fine so you only need to make the changes I suggested to get it to work.

So what that says it that the kernel network code doesn't get any benefit from HT - given that HT is supposed to benefit diverse user tasks and no multiple copies of the same code this is not big news - since you have a HT box how about running a less system code intensive and more diverse test?

Firstly, anyone who uses their own server for lists is a complete idiot. Are you trying to insult everyone who has found AOL or Yahoo or Gmail to be more convenient for not clogging their server with lists traffic? Or do you just feel important because you laid out the $20 for your own domain? And YES, they do default to top posting. You hit reply, and you get this (see below). Its not really conducive to bottom posting, and when you do a google search and hit a long thread you read the answer you want first, rather than having to page down 200 times. If you're over 50 and once used a pdp11 then you may argue the opposite, but times are a-changing, so get with it. -----Original Message----- From: Fabian Keil To: em1897@aol.com Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 21:59:59 +0100 Subject: Re: A Riddle em1897@aol.com wrote: > --- Chris wrote: > > em1897@aol.com wrote: > > > Hmm, I wonder if the lack of performance, or the > > unwanted > > > emails were more heavily weighted in the > > decision? > > > > > > If there was any intelligent life on the list you > > could > > > counter what you call "Trolls" with solid technical > > > arguments.

They don't default to top posting, they put the cursor on top, so you can read the whole message and cut irrelevant parts before replying. If Google doesn't display the whole message, the interface is crap. That's not the fault of anybody on this list. > You may prefer one over the other, but its > hardly a capital offense to do otherwise. Most > of us have evolved out of our unix newsreaders. If you want to be read by as many people as possible on this list, the easiest way is to write well formed mails. Unfortunately, you are not only top posting, your mailing software also inserts line breaks where there shouldn't be any and makes it hard to see who wrote what. Have a look at the beginning of this mail. Your quotation is a mess. > Anyone with a brain is using web mail for > mailing lists these days: no more whining > about spam or "wasted bandwidth". Having a brain is good, but using it is even better. If the web interface produces garbage, changing the interface could be a smart move. Just my two brainless cents.

So - according to YOU, most all of us that run our own servers are idiots. Yanno what? You sound like the type that is forced to use his parents PC, Forced to use AOL, and forced to use web mail. So - since YOU can't have what most of us can and do have, you feel the need to lash out and verbally abuse. This is a classic case of the have-nots are beside them selfs over the haves. It's one thing to say something like: It's my opinion that (insert rhetoric here) Then to make a sweeping generalization as you just did. Shows us what kind a man (or boy) you are.

Everything is implementation. And a key point that you consistently overlook is that FreeBSD 5.x is a particularly poor implementation of SMP. Linux and Dragonfly get 80% improvement in performance with a 2nd processor, and FreeBSD doesn't. Theory is meaningless if the implementation sucks, which is more than just part of the point. The concept that the kernel is poorly implemented by userland is well done is just not an assumption that you can make. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Atkielski To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 12:33:36 +0200 Subject: Re: hyper threading. em1897@aol.com writes: > You can argue the technical theory all you want, but the > measurements say otherwise.

Several things happen when you move from a uniprocessor environment to an environment with two or more processors: - The total CPU time for each thread increases. - The total system load on a per process basis increases. - The total throughput of the system improves if there is more than one independent process running in the system. - Each of the processors runs more slowly than it would if it were the only processor running in a UP environment. If you run a single-thread benchmark on a MP system, you'll find that it runs more slowly than it does on a UP system. If you run multiple single-thread independent benchmarks on a MP system, you'll find that total CPU time for each benchmark increases over that required in a UP system--but the elapsed time required to complete all benchmarks substantially diminishes. To properly gauge the performance of a multiprocessor system, you must run a realistic mix of tasks on the system and measure overall throughput. If you do this, you'll find that you always come out ahead with multiple processors, even HT processors. Hyperthreading is just a special case of multiprocessing that imposes some additional restrictions. HT is much more sensitive to similarities in instruction mix across processes, because the actual processor hardware is being shared. With a sufficiently heterogenous instruction mix across multiple execution threads, this isn't a problem; but if you are running a single-threaded benchmark, or a series of identical single-threaded benchmarks, it can seriously distort your measurements. Although adding physical processors diminishes the performance of each processor, it still adds overall processing power, up to a certain point. The increment is never equal to the actual number of processors added, though; that is, if you go from one to two processors, you never get a doubling of effective processor power--it's more like 70-80%. The percentage increment gets worse with each additional processor, until you reach a point at which performance actually starts to decline (the point at which this happens is extremely hardware dependent, but it's always well beyond two processors). Hyperthreaded processors should not diminish in performance just because HT is turned on, because the hardware contention that diminishes performance in conventional MP systems is largely absent in a HT microprocessor. However, since you are really still only sharing a single processor with HT, the overall increment is much lower than it would be with two physical processors, and it is very sensitive to the instruction mix. > this shows that you really are a bit foggy. Did you miss the part > where with 2 processors you actually do have 2 processors? I actually read what Intel had to say on how the architecture works, and I spent years measuring systems the hard way (with hardware monitors and probes), so I know somewhat whereof I speak. Multiprocessing was always a significant hot-button issue with customers, as they always wanted to know how much they really gained with multiple processors (as opposed to what they had been promised). > I can make an argument that networking with 1 processor on 5.4 is > better than with 2. For example, with a test similar to the above, with > 2 phyiscal processors FreeBSD 5.4 will start dropping packets way before > it hits 500Kpps unless you increase the interrrupts/second, which of > course increases the system load. And even with the dropped packets > (which should reduce the load because it doesnt have to receive > and transmit the packet), the load is still higher than for 4.x with > a single processor. Load is not a problem, as long as it's below 100%. Since individual processors slow down in MP configurations, anything that depends on raw processor speed will suffer in an MP configuration. However, overall system throughput is greatly enhanced by running with several processors. At the same time, the total processor time required to complete all tasks is greater in an MP environment than it would be in a UP environment--it's the fact that things can run in parallel that improves the throughput. Moral: if you want to avoid dropping packets in the situation you describe, increase the interrupt rate. The additional processing power of the system will make this practical. > You and many others regulary say things like "SMP is obviously faster", > or "Opterons are noticably faster", but those statements are only true > for certain applications. True, but those "certain applications" are the kind normally executed in real-world desktop and server systems. If this were not the case, multiprocessing systems would have been abandoned long ago. It's almost always better to have a single processor at 2 GFLOPS than it is to have two processors at 1 GFLOPS, but if you can't get 2 GFLOPS processors, having two 1 GFLOPS processors is the next best thing. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Mar 27 16:51:44 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4083516A4CE for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 16:51:44 +0000 (GMT) Received: from post-23.mail.nl.demon.net (post-23.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.193]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BE2B543D3F for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 16:51:43 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from albi@scii.nl) Received: from aseed.demon.nl ([83.160.138.119]:9932 helo=mail.aseed.antenna.nl) by post-23.mail.nl.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 4.43) id 1DFazG-0008Tx-P9 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 16:51:42 +0000 Received: from http.aseed.antenna.nl (unknown [192.168.0.50]) by mail.aseed.antenna.nl (Postfix) with ESMTP id E984D1545D9 for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 18:54:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: from localhost.localdomain (f80052.upc-f.chello.nl [80.56.80.52]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by http.aseed.antenna.nl (Postfix) with ESMTP id EBE5C58C82A for ; Sun, 27 Mar 2005 18:51:45 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2005 18:51:36 +0200 From: "albi@scii.nl" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-Id: <20050327185136.0b4d652b.albi@scii.nl> In-Reply-To: <001a01c532e9$42017e10$6401a8c0@GRANT> References: <001a01c532e9$42017e10$6401a8c0@GRANT> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 1.0.0 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-pc-linux-gnu) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: Jails ....

Unfortunately not, but if you defined nullconsole I think no /boot.config i= s=20 allowed. I'd suggest you try to set hints.sio.1.flags=3D"0x10" and make sure=20 hints.sio.0.flags doesn't exist. This should make the second (not DB-9=20 connected) serial ports of the 4801 systemconsole. Alternatively you can try setting boot_serial=3D"sio1" in /boot/loader.conf= , but=20 I never tried that. Make sure in any case you also have "console=3Dcomconsole" in /boot/loader.= conf since the soekris bios emulates a simple "VGA"-Console. You can also recompile the loader to tell it what sio (and at what speed) i= t=20 should use. The following in /etc/make.conf does the trick: BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT=3D 0x2F8 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=3D 115200 =46or the loader to recompile goto /usr/src/sys/boot and do: make clean && make depend && make && make install Good luck, =2DHarry > > John > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --nextPart1889748.kZNS3XYE3E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCSpIlBylq0S4AzzwRAvvJAJ4mUFDMc8qSGRQytOSmG/Q4BsGoNwCeL9o9 CmR44/3DHv6FO7BpKRZTljs= =bu5U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1889748.kZNS3XYE3E-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Mar 30 11:56:01 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A91C816A4CE for ; Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:56:01 +0000 (GMT) Received: from mail.faeldryn.org (home.faeldryn.org [195.241.89.62]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38E7643D49 for ; Wed, 30 Mar 2005 11:56:01 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from mujahid@mail.faeldryn.org) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mail.faeldryn.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9EAF0C404 for ; Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:55:59 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mail.faeldryn.org ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (ra.home.faeldryn.org [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with LMTP id 78080-06 for ; Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:55:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by mail.faeldryn.org (Postfix, from userid 1017) id CE711C1FC; Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:55:57 +0200 (CEST) Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:55:57 +0200 From: awad To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20050330115557.GA78840@ra.home.faeldryn.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at faeldryn.org Subject: P2P blocker: PeerGuardian 2 equivalent to FreeBSD?

My sister wants to use Torrent for her school documentary needs. She installed PeerGuardian 2 on our workstation, but I told her that didn't work because our main entry point to the Internet is through our gateway server with FreeBSD. PeerGuardian 2 is currently blocking 801227506 IPs that may try to sue you or get you arrested if you're using P2P stuff. I was wondering if there was something similar for FreeBSD, or if I have to block the list of IPs manually, and if so, how? My firewall is PF for OpenBSD.

Not even a clean shutdown is possible. mksnap_ffs may sometimes take a long time (order of tens of minutes) to generate the snapshot.

I posted my errors but nobody reacted. -(it's hard to see people like anthony /do/ get attention)- It's a freebsd-4.11 system. Ports are up2date. Compiling gnomevfs2 and/or kdelibs3 I get this error "gcc cannot.." or "c++ cannot.." Nowhere on the web seems to be an answer.. So let me ask you here on this list: somebody has compiled kdelibs3 (version 3.4) on a 4.11R system? This week I wiped out my /usr/ports and installed it again. Today I installed an extra harddisk and put a fresh freebsd-4.11 on it; cvsupped the ports to the latest version and tried to compile kde3. Again: the same error. What could possibly be the reason for this? ps: unlike anthony I'm willing to experiment. I would like to solve this puzzle.

First of all, while I would not expect an exactly deterministic behaviour, I still find it strange that most of the times it works within seconds, and occasionally it might need so long! Then again, I do not have enough insight to explain why it would or why it shouldn't. I didn't always have the opportunity to check, but I did once: I'm sure the disks were not working, and the CPU was not under stress, so I can see no reason why it would take that long (I waited for more than an hour, then decided to reset). Lastly, if what you say is true, that "writes to the filesytem may be suspended" for that long, then I don't see much point in using this feature. At least, it is not one that suits *my* needs: our clients must be up 24/7; if that happens they will time out and someone will need to go there and powercycle them. Am I going in the wrong direction then? Are there other alternatives for live backups? Is there some sort of more detailed documentation (tutorials, howtos, ...) on this topic? bye & Thanks av.

You might want to have a look at the Handbook that comes with FreeBSD, especially chapter 3 (UNIX basics). There are also several good books on FreeBSD available, see Appendix B of the Handbook. You can find the english version of the handbook by pointing your browser at /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html.

I just think that this, as well as the disclaimer about it being alpha code and the access locks, should be mentioned in the Handbook. Reading that chapter or mksnap_ffs's manual, I didn't get it and I suspect people might get the idea that it is stable code, which provides some functionality that it doesn't. >>Are there other alternatives for live backups? > > Plenty, if you don't demand an instantaneous image of the backup > image. That depends on what you mean for instantaneous... I'll explain my needs briefly: I export (via Samba) a whole bunch of databases that 9 clients read and write. I do not have more details (I didn't write that app myself). The needs are: a) backup data so that in case of severe failure we can get it rapidly back (we are going to loose the last transactions, obviously); b) replicate everything to another machine (via rsync) so that a remote user can see a snapshot of the system status. We probably can live with some incoherent records in a) (after all, something will almost for sure need manual fix anyway); as for b) I fear it might be more prone to problems.

The package system did.

Well, I'm pretty sure you've already covered the obvious candidates, like make.conf (I assume you used an empty one on your freshly installed system). The error itself doesn't seem to make much sense. You can build a bunch of dependencies before you get to that point, so it does seem to be specific to KDE... > ps: unlike anthony I'm willing to experiment. I would like to solve this > puzzle. Or at least /know/ it's just an error in the kde release. Well, you could try updating to RELENG_4. And definitely talk to the KDE maintainers.

If there is one single thing that will prevent you from getting FreeBSD running on the most systems, that is it. Let me tell you a story. Back in 1992 I was a lowly IT tech at Central Point Software. (Sadly at that time CPS had not the vision to recognize the importance of FreeBSD - they didn't recognize the importance of a great many other things but that's a different story) Some idiot had bought 25 Zenith 486 desktop systems (I think it was 486 could have been 386's though) the previous year. We had these systems failing about once a month by then. The IT department had a big closet with about 10 of them piled up. When one broke we would put a different PC on their desk then take the 486 back to the closet. I resolved one day to clean out the closet. I pulled all systems out and set them all up and tested each one - one had a bad video board, one had a bad disk drive, etc. etc. By pulling a good video card out of one and replacing a bad video card in another one with the video card I pulled, I was able to get a pile of working systems and a pile of broken parts. I took all the broken parts and put them into 2 of the chassises, intending to throw them out. For grins I plugged in both systems "full of broken parts" to see how bad they would be. Both powered up and worked perfectly. After that day I have always included the capability of 'making wild guesses' in my troubleshooting. You make wild guesses after you have exhausted normal troubleshooting. This is the difference between a medeocre 'by the book' repair tech, and a true master, and it is why the master manages to fix things that others believe are beyond hope.

Any help on the configuration would be a great help. Perhaps stunnel? You can set it up at some port and it can proxy for your http proxy. It's been awhile since I used it, but it was very easy to setup. Performance was ok but it's not for very heavy traffic sites I'd think. Http over ssl is always slower. If performance isn't the greatest concern but rather functionality and managability this might be just what you're looking for. It's in /usr/ports/security/stunnel Using a high level (scripting) language which has ssl functionality it would also be quite easy to write your own if it needs some specific (exotic) local requirements.
