One is a camera (I'll expect to get the query on tuesday) and the other is an adapter to 2.5" disks - maybe similar to this case. Unfortunately the later puts the IDE identification into the scsi identification, so it can't handled generaly by the quirks table. It seems to be very common than umass devices fail in 6 byte commands. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sun Oct 14 20:23:33 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from aslan.scsiguy.com (aslan.scsiguy.com [63.229.232.106]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4100437B40D; Sun, 14 Oct 2001 20:23:27 -0700 (PDT) Received: from scsiguy.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by aslan.scsiguy.com (8.11.5/8.11.5) with ESMTP id f9F3N4Y46382; Sun, 14 Oct 2001 21:23:09 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from gibbs@scsiguy.com) Message-Id: <200110150323.f9F3N4Y46382@aslan.scsiguy.com> To: Bernd Walter Cc: "Kenneth D.

My recollection is, aside from cost, it had twice the bus-speed of comparable Intel-supporting boards (but I'm sure others out there know more about this than I). We're running ApacheSSL/PHPmod/PostgreSQL/Qmail/BIND and God-knows what else. It has been rock solid and lightening fast. Only problems I've had have been my own ignorance -- still working on that. One little bug in the built-in ethernet port drivers (plus a misprint in the jumper specifications in the board manual -- now fixed), but it doesn't appear to affect operation. The board was new and we used older drivers to get it running. There may be new drivers out by now. Everything else has been fine. I can't compare it to Intel servers (since we don't have any), but similar web/scripting/database processes are about 200x faster than our old PPC G3 server. Using ECC RAM.

Read this article: http://www4.tomshardware.com/cpu/01q3/010917/index.html For a production system where uptime matters and that runs 24/7, I'd really recommend the Pentium IV, for above reasons. The speed difference isn't valueable if you are hitten by a fan damage in the night and your server is down for hours. I have a Athlon Thunderbird 1000 MHz myself as a server, without DDR RAM. It performs nice, but I don't think I'd have bought it if I'd known about the above article before. > By the way, how does memory affects performance regarding Apache and other > services that need fast response?

I hear one should disable the write cache on IDE/ATA drives when using soft-updates. However, I am unsure if this is something I can set with sysctl, or must use a utility from the drive manufacturer. I run 4.1.1 currently, and hw.ata.wc is not listed as a known oid with sysctl. As well, 5.x I understand will enable soft-updates by default. Should I trust that write caching is correctly disabled, or worry that my IDE device controlls this with its own BIOS? IBM for example, offers a separate tool to change the drive features.

Why? This is the second reference I've seen to this on this list, but there is no mention of it at www.mckusick.com or in the softupdates code... and there's not any immediately intuitive problem, either; scsi adapters and drives have long performed many levels of caching. - JD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Oct 17 11: 3:22 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from smx.pair.com (smx.pair.com [209.68.1.56]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 62A7F37B405 for ; Wed, 17 Oct 2001 11:03:20 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 66985 invoked by uid 1004); 17 Oct 2001 18:03:18 -0000 Message-ID: <20011017180318.66984.qmail@smx.pair.com> From: carter@pair.com Subject: Re: soft updates, write cache In-Reply-To: <20011017104044.Y5727-100000@bronze.greatschools.net> from John David Duncan at "Oct 17, 1 10:53:53 am" To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 14:03:18 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL40 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > > On Wed, 17 Oct 2001 carter@pair.com wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I'm a bit unclear on the interactions of soft-updates and drive write cache. > > I hear one should disable the write cache on IDE/ATA drives when using > > soft-updates. > > Why? > > This is the second reference I've seen to this on this list, but there is > no mention of it at www.mckusick.com or in the softupdates code... and > there's not any immediately intuitive problem, either; scsi adapters and > drives have long performed many levels of caching. > > - JD From what I understand, softupdates allows the filesystem to always be in a 'clean' state, so that fsck is not necessary after a crash except to reclaim free space from deleted files. If softupdates depends on the files having actually been written, their being stored in a hardware write cache can lead to the OS believing a filesystem is clean when it is not. As well, I have seen reference to IDE devices lieing about if their cache has been written or not. That's the best I can guess on it, at any rate.

The problem is not that data in the cache might not make it to disk, it is that it might make it to disk out of order. A write cache is OK as long as it is always FIFO (unfortunately most drives try to reorder whatever is in their cache for optimal performance). I can't imagine any case where this would not be true when you are using a single instance of non-volatile storage or if all instances are completely independant of each other. There could be problems if you depend on two or more pieces of non-volatile storage to be "syncronized" in some way where a volatile write cache on any of the devices could pose a problem, such as if you kept metadata on one drive and data on another. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Oct 19 7:46:30 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from world.tonkinresolutions.com (233-123.adsl6.netlojix.net [207.71.233.123]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BA4B137B405 for ; Fri, 19 Oct 2001 07:46:26 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (nick@localhost) by world.tonkinresolutions.com (8.11.5/8.11.5) with ESMTP id f9JEemn81722 for ; Fri, 19 Oct 2001 07:40:48 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nick@rlnt.net) Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 07:40:48 -0700 (PDT) From: Nick Tonkin X-Sender: nick@world.tonkinresolutions.com To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: weird error message from usb0 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, While trying to get my laptop working yesterday the usb drive panicked (I guess) and began spewing error messages.

Hmm, not one that I'm aware of. They probably have memory testers they can check it with, and the number and variety of errors you are seeing should be fairly easy for their detectors to find. > - nick -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Oct 19 14: 3:30 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from catastrophe.net (ictus.catastrophe.net [207.227.243.193]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 788C037B405 for ; Fri, 19 Oct 2001 14:03:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 74191 invoked by uid 1002); 19 Oct 2001 20:03:26 -0000 Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 15:03:26 -0500 (CDT) From: Reply-To: To: Subject: cdrecord...

For some month now I have been trying to get my hp 8200 usb cd writer to work. I have been to various web page, man page etc, but nothing seems to do anything. Although I have got answers such as my usb cdrw works fine, I can't get any pointers. My question is this. From everything i've read it seems that usb uses the scsi bus to communicate with umass devices. I say this since on the openbsd web programmer reference pages I found this reference: umass at uhub? scsibus at umass? Also in some references it seems that certain usb cd are internally scsi or ide. I was unable to find any documentation as to what mine maybe. Anyone know of a way to do so? So in short, if my cd isn't internally a scsi drive is it safe to say that it will not work with FreeBSD now. -- Rod http://storm.prohosting.com/osbeef/osbeef.htm '....musical rhthyms can mess with your head...' - T La Rock "It's your's" Rod http://storm.prohosting.com/osbeef/osbeef.htm '....musical rhthyms can mess with your head...' - T La Rock "It's your's" Rod http://storm.prohosting.com/osbeef/osbeef.htm '....musical rhthyms can mess with your head...' - T La Rock "It's your's" Rod http://storm.prohosting.com/osbeef/osbeef.htm '....musical rhthyms can mess with your head...' - T La Rock "It's your's" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Oct 19 17:44:53 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from panzer.kdm.org (panzer.kdm.org [216.160.178.169]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 56B6437B403 for ; Fri, 19 Oct 2001 17:44:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from ken@localhost) by panzer.kdm.org (8.11.6/8.9.1) id f9K0ijK01400; Fri, 19 Oct 2001 18:44:45 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from ken) Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 18:44:45 -0600 From: "Kenneth D.

Or perhaps searching the -scsi or -current list archives? There has been discussion on this before. The author of the ATA code is Soren Schmidt .
