When will the new BCE driver in HEAD be incorporated into RELENG_6?
Hi It looks like there is a "new" version of the bce driver in HEAD. When will it be incorporated into Releng_6? We are currently having some performance problems with a java application on our Dell 1950s. And it looks like it has something to do with the speed with which network I/Os are performed. We have Dell 2850s running FreeBSD 5.4/i386 SMP. With Intel nics (em) and they are performing quite well. With 34000 tcp sockets open the maximum time it takes to perform a single network I/O is about 100ms. The Dell 1950s running FreeBSD 6.2-Prerelease/i386 SMP with Broadcom nics (bce), the same application and 34000 tcp connections open. The maximum time it takes to perform a single network I/O is about 7000ms. Most of the packets the systems send/receive are rather small. We are not quite sure what could cause this behavior. If anyone has any ideas of what we could do to decrease the time it takes to perform network I/O it would be much appreciated.

Same here, although it seemed to require a lot more effort to produce the problem. I see there have been additional updates to the driver in the past 10 hours. I'll grab those and try again to see if they help any. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. Would it be possible for someone to provide instructions on how to compile the new bce driver in HEAD on RELENG_6? Just to give you an idea of the problem we are sitting with. Attached is an image of a comparison between a FreeBSD 5.4 with em and a FreeBSD 6.2-pre with bce. The blue line is the 5.4 system. You will notice how smooth the graph is for the 5.4 system. The image can also be downloaded at "http://www.mxit.co.za/mxa_227430610303000_sess.png_bytesinout.png"; Both systems run the same java app and both receive the same load. On the 6.2-pre network I/Os sometime takes up to 7 seconds to complete. We are starting to think that the performance difference might have something to do with synchronization within the bce dirver/SMP network stack... we don't know enough so any help would be much appreciated! Does anyone know how to disable interrupt coalescing on the bce driver?

Re: When will the new BCE driver in HEAD be incorporated into RELENG_6?
Hi all We have 5 Dell 1950s running the new BCE driver without any problems. Thanks Scott!! Maybe you can help me with another Dell-Broadcom network problem. I am trying to get FreeBSD to work on a Dell 1955 blade. Looks like the nics on the blade are not supported by the BCE driver. On linux the nics are identified as "06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)" From "if_bce.c" - * The following controllers are not supported by this driver: * (These are not "Production" versions of the controller.) * BCM5706C A0, A1 * BCM5706S A0, A1, A2, A3 * BCM5708C A0, B0 * --> BCM5708S <-- A0, B0, B1 Is there any reason why the chipset is not supported? Is there anyway of getting the BCE driver to work with this chipset? Any help would be much appreciated.

Oops, you're right. I've been accidentally ignoring this anyways, I'll
take care of it. Thanks!

Thanks the kernel now recognizes the network interface.
But it fails to "attach" the driver to the interface and gives the
following error.
"bce0 if_bce.c(531) SerDes controllers are not supported!"
What now is there anything else I can try?

Regards
Conrad
In if_bce.c I found the following comment "/* DRC - ToDo: Add SerDes
support. */".
Looks like the SerDes code for the BCE driver still needs to be developed :(
If someone could finish the SerDes code for the driver, I will spend
as much time as needed to test each code change that is attempted to
get the SerDes stuff working :)
If needs be I will hook a console up to the system to make it
accessible over the internet.

atacontrol Raid, cannot re-add member to array
Click here to view our e-mail legal notice: http://www.swistgroup.com/email.htm or call: +27 21 888 7920 Hi all, I'm investigating atacontrol raid as an alternative to vinum. So far it has worked great. That's until I unplugged one of the array members. The system boots up fine from the second disk, but the problem ... I can't get atacontrol to rebuild the mirror onto the disk that was removed. I have tried every command on the atacontrol man page, but to no avail. OS : FreeBSD 4.10 System : P3 IDE controller : Intel ICH2 ATA100 controller and 2 x 40 GB disks. On FreeBSD 5 atacontrol has an additional command "addspare" that I have used with success to add a disk to a RAID1 array and rebuild it. Now that you know some of the details, here are the questions 1.. How "safe" is the atacontrol raid feature? 2.. How do I rebuild an atacontrol RAID1 array on FreeBSD 4.10? Any help would be appreciated, I have been at it the whole day!
