Where has my gbde write performance gone?

Sometime between FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4 and 8.0-RELEASE write performance of gbde encrypted devices seems to have dropped significantly. A system I have running 7.2 seems to run gbde drives at or near the drive max rate (30-40MB/s) while I am seeing less than 10% of that on 8.0 systems. I get the

Which VIA CPUs have hardware RNG support?

I am trying to figure out which VIA CPUs support hardware RNG under recent FreeBSD. I've been looking at things on 7.0-RELEASE-p2. If there is something that else I should be looking at, please let me know. Based on 'man 4 random' I see: "The only hardware implementation currently is for the

multiple interfaces on same subnet?

Is it possible to reach two hosts via two interfaces that are both on the same subnet? Example: em0: 172.20.0.1/16 em1: 172.20.0.2/16 And I want to reach 172.20.0.3 via em0 and 172.20.0.4 via em1. From 'netstat -nr' I see a line like this: 172.20/14 link#1 UC 0

mail daemon(s) recomendation request

I'm looking for an smtp daemon that is less complex than sendmail, can use procmail and has some virtusertable equivalent features. Allowing relay based on mx is going to be a requirement for some of the boxes as well. Sendmail is working ok for me, but I'm intersted in finding something with a co

64mb stack size limit?

Short question: Is there a way to increase the stack size limit for a user process beyond 64mb? Background: FreeBSD in question is 5.2.1-RELEASE. I am running an application (unison from /usr/ports/net/unison). This program by virtue to how it was developed (or possibly the language is uses, tha

Re: booting a different kernel each time

I would recommend just making a new kernel that can support the hardware of either machine. To the best of my knowledge there would be no problem going back and forth. As for the modules, I wouldn't worry about it. I believe that as long as both kernels are compiled from the same source tree,

Re: advice about copy from disk to disk

I usually get better transfer rates with bs=16k or so. What transfer rate do you get? If they are modern drives (which 80gb implies) you should get about 20-30MB/s. At that rate it should take a little over an hour to transfer. To see the transfer start the dd, let it run for maybe 10-15 sec a

FreeBSD filesystem 1TB Limit

IIRC There was a 1TB limit on the size of any filesystem (or actually of any block device) in FreeBSD based the kernel internaly using a 512 byte block size and having a max of 2^31 blocks. (512*2^31 = 2^40 = 1TB) Do I remember correctly? Is this still the case? A client wants to build a system
