I got 4-disk RAID5 set with harware controller made by Adaptec (works with aac) and everything is fine until I recompile kernel with SMP support. There are 2x Xeon CPU's with hyperthreading enabled (tried htt disabled too) but after SMP turned on disk reads are affected somehow and reads drop 320-350MB/s (with small files <1GB) to 110-150MB/s. Disk writes slow down 1-2MB/s but thats acceptable for me. Mainly I played around with dd but investigated it with bonnie++ too and noticed same behaviour. After that, removed RAID5 array, tried RAID10 (no win) and then even with single volumes. No help, disk reads slow down dramatically after turning SMP on. There's no problem whatsoever SMP turned on or not in linux, reads and writes are snappy. I just don't want linux. Ever. Again. (guys easily drawn into flame wars dont read that last one:) I've tried FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0_BETA5, with and without adaptive_giant (I read it may cause great slowdowns). Any ideas, suggestions..?

It's very easy to setup, very fast and also directly supported by the default Kernel. You just go into the BIOS on the card with Alt+3 when you boot, lay out the raid however you want, then install FreeBSD as you normally would. The OS pretty much sees it as a single volume, although something like fsck can also access the individual drives in single user mode. It's a real nice setup and never had any problems.

I've contacted highpoint but after an initial promising email that they have forwarded the problem to engineering they are now refusing to respond to email. Been that way for nearly a month now so time to send it back and move to another manufacture.

And that's where my problems start! first mrtg. mrtg works fine except one minor problem with cron. It will not start! I edit it with crontab -e and added the line */5 * * * * root /usr/local/www/mrtg/run.sh with vi editor. The path refers to the right directory and script. When I run it manually everything works. But I keep getting the the mail (every 5 min it was supposed to run the run.sh) : Message 18: >From root@BSD.BSD.org Wed Oct 12 14:30:00 2005 Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 14:30:00 +0300 (EEST) From: root@BSD.BSD.org (Cron Daemon) To: root@BSD.BSD.org Subject: Cron root /usr/local/www/mrtg/run.sh > /dev/null #olgas X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: X-Cron-Env: root: not found I have changed the permissions to 777. I can't think of anything else. If there is anything someone can think of.. As the smb concerning I encounter another weired (for me at least!) problem i installed from the ports samba3 and edited the smb.conf. I had access to the BSD machine via windows but i kept getting this message in dmeg: pid 8541 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13220 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13338 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13364 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13399 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13438 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 13492 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 25004 (conftest), uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) pid 45607 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70202 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70249 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70346 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70388 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70433 (smbd), uid 2: exited on signal 6 pid 70472 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70478 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70515 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70524 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 pid 70535 (smbd), uid 1003: exited on signal 6 and so on... I also had mail to root with a prob with smbd, nmbd. so I deinstalled samba to start over again and now continiusly keep getting the same message in dmesg. But not in mail anymore. I hope I was clear enough about the two probs I have. Thank you and hope this is the right mailing list. SpacEirene __________________________________ Yahoo!

It gets a DMA timeout on one of the disks which it then drops from the RAID5 unfortunately it then gets the same error on another disk and does the same at which point I obviously get a kernel panic. At first I thought it was a one off but now I have 100% reproducible scenario using rsync which will cause the driver to ditch the array. Tried all the usuals disk's replaced, cables replaced even controller replaced, as we had 2, but no joy :( Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tulio Guimarães da Silva" Wow! Nice to know, then.

The guy I bought my 3ware 9500S-12 card has one he's getting ready to benchmark. I asked him to send me the details and I will pass them along here if I get them. He did mention it supports SATA2 - whatever that provides. It's supposed to be twice as fast on the speed from what I saw on 3ware's site. Speaking of the 9500S-12, I just did some benchmarks using that machine and MySQL reads/writes. As compared to a single SATA drive, the server was quite a bit faster when setup with the raid card and 4 10K Raptor drives. I have the benchmarks here if anyone is interested. I also just ordered 4 more 10K drives and I'm going to re-run everything in order to see how much of an improvement adding more drives has.

Why so interesting? Well the cheapo hightech smokes it on that very test pushes 180MB/s from a 5 disk setup. The problem is that's not worth nothing if its not stable :( Thanks for all the responses guys. For what its worth this is the error: [error] IAL: COMPLETION ERROR, adapter 0, channel 5, flags = 104 ATA regs: error 10, sector count 20, LBA Low ff, LBA mid ff, LBA high ff, device 4f, status 51 channel 5: perform recalibrate command hptmv: Retry on channel(5) ... hptmv: too many retires on channel(5) hptmv: Device removed: controller 1 channel 5 [/error] I dont know if its a hardware issue or just a driver bug. I've tried the latest version 1.12 as well as the built in FreeBSD 1.1 based driver no joy. Tried 1.13 and 1.16 BIOS no difference always ditches disk 4 which is odd and why I suspected a duff disk, cable, or port but all have now been checked :( Dont know if Scott ( did the original driver port iirc ) or Søren the resident IDE guru would have any ideas if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

I was thinking I would also stream line my PHP files I use for running the benchmark(s) and include those. This way other people on the list can run the same test. It's not scientific perhaps, but at the end of the day, I want to know what my database server is able to achieve in the real world when it comes to stuff like inserts, updates, searches. I'll send another e-mail in a minute.

Try changing the mrtg (the first one after LANG=C) in the run.sh to the full path - from the cron email you got it is not located within PATH which is why it can't find it. If you removed the mrtg folder you may need to change the path to the cfg file as well.

The problem has been solved after I tried what Thomas said. It seems that the problem had sth to do with the default /usr/local/bin/mrtg script. I had no reference to it in the run.sh. after I edit the crontab and started the .cfg as well as the /usr/local/bin/mrtg script it seems to be working just fine. I am really thankfull to all of you, and I am sorry if this was not the proper mailing list to post. About the smb prob I will post a mail in freebsd-questions@freebsd.org. thanks again. ps. as far as the post Sebastian Misch send I will try it cause it seems interesting what changes you can do with the PATH. :) spen __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs From owner-freebsd-performance@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Oct 21 00:58:10 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-performance@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-performance@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 912F816A420 for ; Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:58:10 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from wendel@dotpix.com.br) Received: from d.dotpix.com.br (mx1.dotpix.com.br [201.30.129.132]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 295C143D62 for ; Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:58:09 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from wendel@dotpix.com.br) Received: from [10.0.0.8] (z.dotpix.com.br [201.30.129.190]) by d.dotpix.com.br (Postfix) with ESMTP id E881C38B886 for ; Thu, 20 Oct 2005 22:56:22 -0300 (BRST) Message-ID: <43583CEC.1090906@dotpix.com.br> Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 22:57:16 -0200 From: wendel Organization: dotpix User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6 (Windows/20050716) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-performance@freebsd.org References: <20051020140843.47415.qmail@web31110.mail.mud.yahoo.com> In-Reply-To: <20051020140843.47415.qmail@web31110.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Re: crontab prob X-BeenThere: freebsd-performance@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Performance/tuning List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:58:10 -0000 > the default /usr/local/bin/mrtg script.
