  FreeBSD 7 and multiple IP (mijail-patch in 6.x)         


Author: Johan Ström
Date: Mar 31, 2008 14:15

Hello

I got a machine running 6.2 right now, which is being replaced. And
since SMP performance is much better on 7.x I'd like to go with 7.0
(and many ppl have indeed verified that it works good on this box, HP
DL360 G5)...
But, now when I start to setup the machine, I recalled that i've
patched the 6.2 box with the freebsd mijail patch (http://www.digitaldaemon.com/FreeBSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_6.2-STABLE-mijail.patch
).
However, I cannot find anywhere about FreeBSD 7 and a similar patch. A
quick look at the patch vs the 7.x source tells me it won't apply
cleanly, but from what I've seen quickly, it could maybe be done. The
differences I've seen doesn't look too advanced, but then again, I'm
not a kernel developer...

So, I'd like to know if anyone considered this on 7.x, or if anyone
can tell me immediately that this wont work or will be LOTS of work,
or just some patch line adjusting? Ie, how big are the changes from
6.x to 7.x in these sections?

Thank you for any answers or pointers.

  Access Problems with 7.0

I recently upgraded 3 of my 5 servers to 7.0. Two of them are on new
hardware and one is on hardware that used to run 6.2. Since then, 2
of my thousands of users are unable to access the servers running
7.0. They can access the server running 6.2 just fine. What happens
is the server receives the SYN packet from the client properly and
then responds with the SYN packet. Nothing more is heard from the
client. The server sends a few duplicates of the SYN and then drops
the connection.

At this point I am not able to verify that the client receives the
SYN. Neither of them has a clue about tcpdump. The packets look fine
on this end (included later). Both are using Windows, including XP
and Vista. I suspect they are receiving it and not accepting it for
some reason. However, I don't really see anything that would cause
that behavior in the packets. I can't reproduce the problem here.
Every computer I can try works just fine.

Here is one of the packet traces:

  FreeBSD freezing at random         


Author: Mikkel Skærris
Date: Mar 31, 2008 00:35

My system is a IBM T40 laptop, and i has been running FreeBSD for more
than two years without ANY problems at all. But a couple of days ago
my 7.0 intallation began freezing at random, without any log messages
or anything. Same thing happens on a fresh installation of 6.3. Often
the screen flickers, and blacks out, as if the screen conection was
loose or something, but it isnt. And I cant seem to pinpoint the
problem, to any certain area. Though the windows installtion (dual
boot) works completely fine.

Any suggestions welcome?

Regards
Skaerris

  Azureus + 7-STABLE == Slow download + No Upload         


Author: Marc G. Fournier
Date: Mar 30, 2008 17:59

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Is anyone running Azureus on 7-STABLE and getting decent performance from it?

I just upgraded to 7-STABLE, installed /usr/ports/java/jdk15 (instead of
diablo) so that it uses libthr (checked with ldd), and now I'm barely able to
get one downloaded, let alone multiple, and almost nothing uploaded ...

I've added:

"-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

to /usr/local/bin/azureus, but, from reading the jdk15 makefile, IPv6 is only
enabled if/when you do WITH_IPV6, and I don't have that in my make.conf file,
therefore this shouldn't affect anything ...

I have nothing in my /etc/libmap.conf file ...

So, if there a problem, or am I missing something?

  rl driver error?         


Author: íÉÈÁÉÌ ëÉÐÁ
Date: Mar 30, 2008 11:56

I have got system with rl and re cards. This system functiones as gateway, rl - internet re -
intranet. Periodically I have
ping: sendto: No buffer space available
on rl card!
on logs I have
Mar 30 22:23:02 xxxxxxx kernel: rl0: watchdog timeout
Mar 30 22:23:32 xxxxxxx last message repeated 6 times
This could be improved by reboting the system, that very bad, as it network gateway!
Some ideas?

System FreeBSD 7.0 , compiled from RELENG_7_0_0

  gjournal....         


Author: Karl Denninger
Date: Mar 29, 2008 20:10

Hi folks;

Wondering about the various pros and cons of using the "gjournal" GEOM
provider... and if you can "promote" and existing system using it, or
whether you need to build something anew.

The scenario is a fairly busy and large system with PostgreSQL database data
on it. The data is currently on a 2-disk gmirror pair to provide data
safety in the event of a disk failure.

I am using softupdates right now.

If I'm reading the docs correctly, I can't put gjournal in use on the
existing filesystem, and need to effectively build a new disk structure then
copy over the data onto it.

Can you boot from a gjournal'd root?

Ideas please, pros and cons of the various alternatives, etc..... thanks!
