easy, Theo. I actually very much agree with you, and had not intended to stir anything up here. If users wish to get involved in an attempt (regardless of how hopeless) to encourage third parties to cooperate with OpenBSD developers, then you can certainly abstain from enabling that kind of help

I'm not one to condone shitty attitudes. However, I think in this case it's unfair to claim that one can have no expectations of OpenBSD with regards to security patches. If I could have no such expectations, I would not use OpenBSD in the first place. I have these expectations based on a very i

Re: Seeking info for RAID 1 on OpenBSD

I have my OpenBSD 4.0 system setup with root on RAID-1 and every mounted filesystem is also RAID-1 using the raidframe subsystem in the OpenBSD kernel. THe major problem is that after booting from an improper shutdown, the system will not attempt to mount any filesystems until the RAID-1 parity is

Hi, I don't know if you eventually got an answer on this or not, but I got bit by this with my upgrade to 2.6.17.7 on my linux workstation and my pf firewall started blocking connections. Turns out, that pf is not to blame, but a sloppy ruleset (at least in my case). The thing to check for is to

Howdy folks, I've been following an example in the Absolute OpenBSD book on how to setup two separate child queues for traffic going to two different networks over the same interface. This server runs OpenBSD 3.8(Generic kernel with raidframe and MP), has two NICs (internal/external) and serves

NFS server responsiveness

2006-04-15 Thread David Wilk
I've got a test server with OpenBSD-3.8 on it (GENERIC except with RAIDFRAME support) and considering the hardware, it does pretty well with NFS performance. However, I've noticed that when under heavy NFS load, it becomes nearly unresponsive. Shell sessions take 2-6 seconds to respond, and top u

this was exactly my thought. I was hoping someone would have some 'official' knowledge, or opinion. I still can't get over having to wait several hours for my root partition to become available after an improper shutdown. On 3/18/06, Joachim Schipper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, Mar 18,

RAIDframe parity errors and rebuild

Howdy all, I've been testing a 3.8 system with RAIDframe and root on raid in a RAID1 configuration. Performance and stability are quite good, but there's one thing that's a bit irksome and I wonder if I might not be doing something right. I've had a couple crashes (potentially hardware related)

RAIDframe stability and reliability

I know RAIDframe is not in GENERIC, but I was wondering if anyone could speak to the stability and reliability of RAIDframe in 3.8. I find myself really wanting to use software RAID 1 and haven't had any problems in testing thus far. Any experiences would be good to hear. thanks!

SATA support in 3.8

2006-01-29 Thread David Wilk
Howdy all, I was just wondering what SATA support was like in 3.8. Specifically, are there any promise controller add-in cards (as opposed to built-in to mobo) that anyone would recommend? Or, are things as they were in May of '05 when Theo was less than enthused with then-current SATA support: ht
