Re: Being a shell provider - good business?

[Outback Dingo]

actually i agree here, running a shell server for 10 USD a head per month,
is a good idea
especially for your freinds who need to learn, just do the math, 100 users
at 10 USD a month and guess what
your making money, though its the getting users to use and abide by good
usage policies is the other trick
it is a great tool for universities to teach students with also

Odd Keyboard, mouse, networking issues

[Outback Dingo]

I installed FreeBSD 7 on a IBM thinkpad Z60M,  Xorg from ports, 3 different
window managers, kde, xfce4 and fvwm-crystal
in console, there is no issue

in X anytime i type something on the keyboard, anything, regardelss of being
in a console or in firefox

the text doesnt display, or execute until i move the mouse

ie.. in a console under X if i were to type

ps ax

nothing would print, or execute until i moved the mouse, then it prints and
executes
in firefox, i can type in a full url in the address bar, nothing types or
prints until i move the mouse
if i click file, the menu doesnt open until i move the mouse ever so
slightly.
This occurs in all window managers, both xfce and fvwm-crystal, which leads
me to think this is an
OS problem or a port installed the all window managers use.. ie... dbus? fam
? hal ?
its quite odd and disturbing since i used kde3 on FreeBSD-7-PRERELEASE and
BETAs for months
this same laptop has run FreeBSD fine for 2 years i blew away the old
installation to install a fresh system
all ports are built from ports im connected to the intenet via wireless
( iwi0 ) and have a usb mouse ( logitech ) video for X is ATI
Ive had the same hardware for the longest time, a fresh install and a fresh
set of packages on 7 is now creating havoc
even networking seems choppy unless i am moving the mouse, like during a
download, console doesnt update until the mouse moves


any thought or ideas on where to start looking ? dmesg attached

Re: When's FreeBSD going to catch up in the world of virtualization.

[Outback Dingo]

rumour has it VirtualBox might have FreeBSD as host OS coming... and i wount
admit i said this :)
but i saw a post about a solaris build being available, and it stated
FreeBSD maybe coming soon.

also you can run XEN or KVM on HVM capable systems and get away from that
VMWARE Pain

also VirtualBox on linux as host runs FreeBSD guests, I actually have 6
FreeBSD guests running
on XEN 3.21 under a Ubuntu Server OS, waiting for an HVM capable box to be
delivered so i can test
KVM and XEN HVM capabilities.

Re: rolling own mesh soln using BSD?

[Outback Dingo]

actually i think he wants to build his own BSD based wireless mesh AP
network hence the mention of dd-wrt
not sure where the mention of firewall came from, but yes, there is pfSense,
as for wireless search google for

"freebsd wireless"

should get you a good start but for mesh / repeater i think youll need
the latest VAP code, which a
search of the mailing list should turn up

Re: FreeBSD on xen?

[Outback Dingo]

Well ... depends on your needs
Yes you can install FreeBSD 7 as a DomU, Ive done so under Debian and Ubuntu
server
I have 10 FreeBSD 7/8 DomUs running under XEN 3.1.2
Usability is somewhat questionable, though Ive had recently some better
stability for light work
compiling world/kernel is still a bit iffy with GCC core dumps
adding ports is doable, light load is doable, networking bridged appears ok
booting a DomU can also sometimes hang ( frequest) when using the -c flag
useable, yes to a degree... heavy productions work... No, definatley not at
this time
rumour says XEN HVM Hypervisor and KVM ( linux) both show riunning freebsd
on virtualized
platforms to be more stable and usable

to me it sounds like a link negotiation problem between the network
interfaces, and auto-sensing not being able to sync
you might need to set the interface on the bsd box manually to see if
you can even establish link, once link is up dhcp should function

QNX will not run on the Alpha architecture, freeBSD 6.4 in my opinion
is still the far better choice for anything alpha
the only other thing i would recommend oin that platorm would be
OpenVMS from the hobbyist kit. But then again

not sure about "irresponsible" its the only real obvious choice
and im not sure there isnt capability to rebuild the world to a later
FreeBSD version
though not sure how late a version, even though supports been
"dropped" doesnt mean
it cant be bought up to 7X or 8x ... the codes still in the tree, and
its simply a trial and error rebuild

does anyone know what the latest buildable FreeBSD would be on alpha
and what model alpha could be 9x for all we know,
though unlikely. and VMS may rock but even more legacy the 6.4...
though tried and true i agree.

http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/news.php

The OpenVMS Hobbyist Program now has a new licensing portal on the
popular OpenVMS.org site. You can find the announcement here:
http://www.openvms.org/stories.php?story=12/01/27/8782690

License registration is located at
http://www.openvms.org/pages.php?page=Hobbyist

And check out part where is says "In addition, the OpenVMS Hobbyist
Program offers kits containing OpenVMS Base O/S software and selected
Layered Products via download." I know this is something that's been
asked about on several occasions, and HP has finally taken it to
heart. This should also allow the Hobbyist Program to provide a lot
more Layered Products that previously available.

So it seems it is still possible, if he desired to pursue it. I still
have FreeBSD Alpha, and OpenVMS Alpha/Itanium systems chugging along.

Im pretty sure they are only XEN based and not  "cloud" based per se, as
there appears to be no elasticity on demand, Granted RootBSD is nice
but on demand expansion of memory, cpu and disk under ones control is more
what i would describe as FreeBSD in  the cloud,

look in /usr/share/examples/cvsup theres files for csup, edit them to
your needs, cvsup server and release

the run csup -g 2 -L stable-supfile

itll fetch all the sources...

also see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

gmultipath, ses and shared disks / cant seem to share between local nodes

[Outback Dingo]

Ok, maybe im at a loss here in the way my brain is viewing this

we have a box, its got 2 nodes in the chassis, and 32 sata drives
attached to a SATA/SAS backplane via 4 (2 per node) LSI MPT SAS2 cards
should i not logically be seeing 4 controllers X #drive count ??

camcontrol devlist shows 32 devices, daX,passX and sesX,passX

we would like to create a zpool from all the devices, that in theory if
nodeA failed
then nodeB could force import the pool, nodeA and NodeB are attached through
dual LSI controllers, to the SATA/SAS backplane. but i cant seem to create
a zpool from sesX or passX devices, i can however create a 16 drive zp0ol
on either node, from any daX device. what did i miss? ive looked at
gmirror, and also ses documents. Any insight is appreciated, thanks in
advance.

Disk Enclosure Zoning / gmultipath

[Outback Dingo]

Okay... 4U Disk Enclosure, has 2 physical compute nodes, each physical
compute nodes has 2 LSI 9211-8i controllers, so thats 4 total controllers
across 2 nodes

the box is enclosure is zoned and FreeBSD can see the following

nodeA

16 daX devices
16 sesX,passX devices

NodeB

16 daX devices
16 sesX,passX devices

there are 32 disks in the box, so the numbers are good, however

each LSI card only has a total of 8 SATA drives assigned to it

hence 4 x 8 = 32 drives...

for gmultipath and zfs shouldnt each controller see 32 drives? or 16 drives
for HA

basically im thinking the enclosure shouldnt be zoned at all so each LSI
controller
can see every SATA drive, with gmultipath in the mix, i should be able to
label 32 devices, and have both nodes recognize them... correct??? or am I
chasing the rabbit down the wrong hole?

looking at the hostname, it simply appears to be a syslog server, so why

Terrible ix performance

[Outback Dingo]

Ive got a high end storage server here, iperf shows decent network io

iperf -i 10 -t 20 -c 10.0.96.1 -w 2.5M -l 2.5M

Client connecting to 10.0.96.1, TCP port 5001

[  3]  0.0-20.0 sec  18.7 GBytes  8.05 Gbits/sec


the card has a 3 meter twinax cable from cisco connected to it, going
through a fujitsu switch. We have tweaked various networking, and kernel
sysctls, however from a sftp and nfs session i cant get better then 100MBs
from a zpool with 8 mirrored vdevs. We also have an identical box that will
get 1.4Gbs with a 1 meter cisco twinax cables that writes 2.4Gbs compared

does anyone have an idea of what the bottle neck could be?? This is a
shared storage array with dual LSI controllers connected to 32 drives via
an enclosure, local dd and other tests show the zpool performs quite well.
however as soon as we introduce any type of protocol, sftp, samba, nfs
performance plummets. Im quite puzzled and have run out of ideas.

uhmmm their not the only SSD cloud provider, and though its a shame they
dont provide FreeBSD
while others do. I do know of another with support for 8, 9, and 10
FreeBSD with SSD storage.
matter of fact their whole SAN is FreeBSD based also. email me offlist for

hrmmm thats strange, we simply uploaded the iso in xcp and created a VM in
the UI, using the iso as install media
pretty much the same as you would in VirtualBox or Vmware, odd you have had
so many issues, ive been
running FreeBSD under XEN since 6.2 never had any issues getting it
working, im sure though its dauting
when you dont have a UI to manage it, though its also quite doable, but
there is openxencenter now

Please do not top-post :-)

There's no "port" for this piece of software, and their "simplified
installation guide" from [1] mentions a binary Linux installer.

[1]
http://project-open.sourceforge.net/doc/manuals/PO-Unix-Simplified-Install-Guide.pdf

A binary Linux installer is not going to work for FreeBSD, so I'll have
a look at their "advanced unix installation guide" from [2],

[2]
http://project-open.sourceforge.net/doc/manuals/PO-Unix-Advanced-Installation-Guide.pdf

but porting a big piece of software like this is probably going to
require at least a moderate amount of effort.  If our Ports team doesn't
have people experienced with project-open, would you be interested in
working with them and maintain the "project-open" port?

Re: HP DV4-2153 laptop

Possible being an N chip its the newer ath9k which i had a similiar problem
under linux, but finally after getting the ath9k module loaded i could see a

I think the ulitimate question is going to be at what level of pain does the
person wish to suffer to achieve his goals
there are numerous ways to do it, though some can be painful, if not
experienced. I struggle to get my brain around
an environment with mulitple OSes in it, where i would lean towards the LDAP
method, though you raise a valid point
where kerberos could fit nicely, though Im not sure we are aware of the long
term goals or the project where one might
be adding in other types of Operating Systems. Then we have the discussion
of interoperability. If it stays as in his game
plan and  doesnt encounter scope creep (not like it doesnt happen) at some
time, he might wish to choose the best overall
design to implement, again my vote would be LDAP. it is the most globally
scaable, relocable and interoperable once its
deployed allowing for future growth without a serious amount of pain.
