In the first case, you'll see very big improvements in MySQL performance if you use disks with plenty of IO cache memory on them, plus disks that work with controllers that support tagged queuing (SAS and higher end SATA generally.) DB disk IO consists primarily of a large number of small transactions randomly distributed across the drive. Reducing the latency of each of those transactions gets you the best improvement in performance. RAID levels are important: single disks are not bad if dedicated to the DB. RAID1 mirrors are fine. RAID10 striped mirrors are excellent. RAID5 not so good. If you're willing to spend money, hardware RAID controllers help. Hardware RAID controllers with Battery Backup Units (so you can safely turn on write caching) help a very great deal. In the second case, it's really just about competition for resources. I suspect that you could have achieved a pretty good speed-up simply by adding another hard drive to your server and moving all of the database onto it, separate from the web root and any other areas which apache would be doing a lot of read/write operations on.

Disabling Super key?
Is there any way I could disable the Windows key on my keyboard?
I use FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE on a Dell Inspiron 640m laptop. My Windows
key ("Super_L") has developed a problem for some unknown reason: it
gets pressed and remains so without my touching it. I could diagnose
this only using xev, which reported a constant Super_L KeyPress event.
This means that I cannot enter text in for example Firefox or Emacs
most of the time and this is terribly irritating. I could probably
solve the problem by disabling the Super key.
Thanks,
Girish.

When using rsync, it might not be able to copy ACLs and flags to other OS's that do not support them natively. So if you depend on ACLs or flags, use dump instead. But is you just have regular data files, rsync is fine. For keeping large volumes of data synchronized, rsync is probably the fastest solution. I tend to use the following options for rsync backups: '-axq --delete'. You could also use a USB connected harddisk as a backup. It's easy to store that off-site. If you consider your data valuable, encrypt your backup disks, e.g. with geli(8).

So, you want to make changes to a machine and confirm they're correct, but
when they're not, the old settings should be restored:
0) make sure sshd listens on all ip's ('INADDR_ANY'), not preconfigured set.
# cp -p /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.BEFORE_CHANGE
# ${EDITOR} /etc/rc.conf
# cp -p /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.CHANGES
Then this script, say /root/bin/testrc.sh:
=
#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/netif stop
sleep 1
/etc/rc.d/netif start
# sleep for 5 minutes, should be ample time to re-establish the ssh
# connection.
sleep 300
# We were not killed, this means the connection is faulty
cp -p /etc/rc.conf.BEFORE_CHANGE /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.d/netif stop
sleep 1
/etc/rc.d/netif start
=
Then run as:
daemon -p /var/run/testrc.pid /root/bin/testrc.sh
When you can log back in, simply:
kill `cat /var/run/testrc.pid` ; rm /var/run/testrc.pid
And rm /etc/rc.conf.BEFORE_CHANGE if you feel comfy.
If you couldn't log back in, inspect /etc/rc.conf.CHANGES and adjust, rm the
pid file, rince and repeat.

natd and ipfw external hangs
Hello, I recently upgraded to 7.0-STABLE and have setup an ipfw+natd combo on my dual homed host. I have two interfaces: em0 - external interface to the net 24.205.x.x sk0 - internal interface 192.168.x.x When users connect on the 192.168.x.x internal network everything works great. Packets get out to the net and back to the originating machine with no delays. So, natd seems to be doing the right thing. The server (24.205.x.x) can directly connect to the internet for all services - no problems there. The problem is external users. When they hit the webserver at 24.205.x.x the text portion of the pages load quickly. A few images load, and then the rest of the page hangs for quite some time. When I check the connection on my side with netstat -a I see a lot of these: tcp4 0 0 server.http 41.221.19.24.62422 FIN_WAIT_2 tcp4 0 0 server.http 41.221.19.24.62401 FIN_WAIT_2 tcp4 0 0 server.http 203.215.120.236.1686 FIN_WAIT_2 So it seems the connection is just hanging for some reason. I opened my firewall up completely, taking natd out of the equation and the external problem was solved. So, I'm suspecting a bad config in my firewall rules, or a bad config in my natd. So I created an open firewall that also uses natd to see if I could get things working. Here are the rules (complete with comments from the fbsd handbook): #!/bin/sh IPFW="ipfw -q add" ipfw -q -f flush # No restrictions on Inside LAN Interface for private network $IPFW 10 allow all from any to any via sk0 # No restrictions on loopback interface $IPFW 20 allow all from any to any via lo0 # check if packet is inbound and nat address if it is $IPFW 30 divert natd ip from any to any in via em0 # Allow the packet through if it has previously been added to the # the "dynamic" rules table by an allow keep-state statement. $IPFW 50 check-state # Interface facing Public Internet (Outbound Section) # Interrogate session start requests originating from behind the # firewall on the private network or from this gateway server # destined for the public Internet. # Basically, let everything out. $IPFW 60 skipto 500 all from any to any out via em0 setup keep-state # Interface facing Public Internet (Inbound Section) # Interrogate packets originating from the public Internet # destined for this gateway server or the private network. # Basically, let everything in to me. $IPFW 70 allow all from any to me in via em0 setup limit src-addr 2 # This is skipto location for outbound stateful rules $IPFW 500 divert natd ip from any to any out via em0 $IPFW 600 allow ip from any to any $IPFW 800 deny all from any to any and my natd setup: gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.rules" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="em0" natd_flags="-dynamic -m" and in my kernel: # For Network Address Translation (NAT) options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=5 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPDIVERT How can I successfully eliminate the external hangs without loosing natd for the internal users?

RAID10 striped mirrors are excellent. RAID5 not so good. If you're willing to spend money, hardware RAID controllers help. Hardware RAID controllers with Battery Backup Units (so you can safely turn on write caching) help a very great deal. The first box has 2 independent raid arrays, with an Intel hardware raid controller with battery backup. But apache and mysql were probably on the same array. I have to confirm this. The second box has 2 drives with raid 1, from an integrated controller (i.e, software raid). So the second box is much less powerful, but running mysqld is all it's doing. I guess that is the primary difference. My main worry about the second box is that it only has 1G of RAM (not 2 as I mis-remembered before checking specs.) Easily expanded, but it's something to watch. Bottom line, I might do better by moving mysqld back to the first machine, but putting the data on the second, raid 10 array (which is more or less empty at the moment.) I appreciate your insight. This is starting to make sense to me.

In fact, when you look at the two top(1) outputs from OP, you can see that apache is eating all the memory and hardly any memory is left for IO cache. On the second machine you can see that MySQL is caching 49MB I/O, guessing this is the (sum of) the most used indexes or in case of InnoDB the entire InnoDB file. Since MySQL is clearly the bottleneck of the sites, I'd investigate why in the world apache2 needs >150M per process. If you're using the memcache module, it may actually speed things up considerably to *disable* it, since that would leave plenty IO cache for MySQL to work with. On the other hand, if there's so much I/O to cache for the webserver, maybe it's a good idea to configure a lightweight image (or other static content) server. This apache would only need mod_mime, mod_header and mod_expires (to set the caching). Personally, I wouldn't enable the mem cache on there either, since 80% of the time you'll be sending 304's, instead of image data. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Why would it make such a difference to move mysqld to another machine?
When I go back and look at the original top output for the single machine I note that it's out of RAM. It looks to me like apache and mysqld were contending over memory.

[OT] Why behaves my application different when run in gdb
Hi all. Sorry for asking off-topic questions but I started to dive into C programming. I know a couple of scripting languages quite well but wanted to learn something more low level. What me struck now is the fact that my code will crash (signal 11) while processing a strcpy. When I run the same thing in gdb it won't crash and whats even more important to me: It does what I wanted it to do... Perhaps someone can tell me why a program which crashes repeatedly in console runs fine in the debugger.

If you showed the program, we could have a closer look at this and tell the exact reason. So the following is just a wild guess, out of the blue: If it's strcpy(), you're probably corrupting the stack (or the malloc arena) by writing past the end of a buffer. When you run under gdb, the debugger dynamically inserts special instructions into the program so you can single-step through it. This tends to slightly modify the memory layout of your program, and you'll be jumping back to some other address. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, probably the main reason most people do it is to strip away any unneeded functionality. The GENERIC kernel contains a whole slew of drivers and options that most people don't need, but are intended to support a wide range of hardware configurations "out of the box".

Re: Why would it make such a difference to move mysqld to another machine?

I need to figure out which ones I really need. Thanks for push in the right direction... My apologies on that one. You're right. I read 2150M as 2 Megabytes.

Re: Recovering root password from a drive by mounting the cdrom
Thanks for this response and others. However, my problem does not look to be so simple. I boot off the install cd and get into the fixit prompt. I dmesg | less and get the device name that I think is my hard drive /dev/ad0. I fdisk /dev/ad0 and get information about 3 slices. I am think /dev/ad0 slice 3 is the root file system because slice 3 has a greatest amount of disk space and that looks like my root partition Then I ls -l /dev |grep ad0 and it spits out a number for /dev/ad0 like ad0s0 ad0s1 ad0s3 etc. I am assuming /dev/ad0s3 is slice 3 which I believe it to be my root partition. So I mount it: mount /dev/ad0s3 /mnt I do a df -k and find that /mnt has 0 bytes available. To check I cd /mnt and ls and don't find any data in it. I check/dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s1 in the same way. None of it has any data. I guess there is something else that I am missing at this point. Can anyone advise.

I see with <1T words, it appears doable on current technology. Maybe they should offer a snapshot on DVDs or disk as a fundraiser? I'd drop $300 for some sort of officially licenced copy, I suspect there are other freaks that would too... When the world gets that bad, Wikipedia is the least of my concerns, slightly ahead of who is winning American Idol. If it comes to the point the internet goes down for a long period of time, that $300 is better spent on a garden. Just my thoughts. Actually . . . if things get that bad, you're going to need some firepower to protect your garden (and everything else you don't want taken from you by force). To properly protect a garden, you'd need to make it a community farm, with community members who have and will use firearms to protect it (and your Wikipedia mirror). Of course, I greatly admire the impulse to protect the collected knowledge of Wikipedia from disaster. It's also practical -- because it contains a lot of information that might be of use (including good subsistence gardening information, for those of us who don't have naturally green thumbs). If the crash comes and you don't have 4 - 5 years of experience running a garden on your land, plus your own well, your gonna starve. Veggies are very particular as to the kind of soil they like, and the light and water they get. And it takes several years of trying different ones to figure out the ones that do best in your soil. And most modern veggies are hybrids and the seed is genetically engineered, and patented. Many varieties are, in fact, sterile. Many others require irrigation to produce sizable yields. To put in a "heritage" garden that will produce given the normally occurring rainfall in your area takes someone with many years of experience in your area growing gardens. By the time you would be able to get one going from info in wikipedia, you would have died of starvation. Ted Some of us will have veggies/skills/water for trade. But what he says is true. It ain't as easy as read a page, plant a row. If I have a question on FreeBSD, Wikipedia is my last resort, after phone calls. While it is useful I suppose to some, I would never base a decision on anything I read there. It is useful for key words and topics to expand a search through better sources, but not much else. If Wikipedia is killing Encyclopedia sales, it is because people are willing to accept mediocrity over accuracy if accuracy comes at a price and mediocrity is free. It has been my experience, maybe things have changed, that a hardbound reference book is the equivalent of asking Bunny Watson for an answer, and Wikipedia is like asking Cliffy on Cheers.

Re: Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 -- radio stubbornly remains down at Toshiba Satellite M30-951
Yes, of course, I have accepted license agreement. Never mind, though. Problem is solved. I found tiny hardware switch that indeed switches radio off/on on the laptop. It was in off position. Now it is in on and everything is fine. /wbr Ariel Burbaickij ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
