similar to: recommended setup for amd64 7-STABLE with ZFS, Samba 3.2 and possibly ACLs?

We have 10 SuperMicro PDSMi+ 5015M-MTs that are panic'ing every few days. This started shortly after upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Other than switching to a debugging kernel, a little sysctl tuning, and patching with freebsd-update, they are stock. The debugging kernel was built from source that is also being patched with freebsd-update. These systems are

Hello again :) With POLLING enabled I experience about 10%-25% performance drop when copying files over network. Tested with both SAMBA and NFS. Is it normal?

So, I have a farm of machines runnign 7.1/amd64, all of which have 16 gig of memory in them. This afternoon, as an experiment, I altered loader.conf to have these two lines in it: vm.kmem_size="1536M" vm.kmem_size_max="1536M" This is what I do on machines running ZFS - these machines are not, however running ZFS, and do not have the zfs module loaded. I just wanted to see if

Hello, freebsd-stable. Does somebody use some software RAID5 on FreeBSD in real production system? I want to build storage server for my home: RAW photos, multi-layer PhotoShop files and FLAC-encoded music consume a lot of space, and they should be availible both from desktop & notebook. Also, all photo-content is unique, so I need some insuranse from single HDD crash. I understand,

Hi If I have the wrong list please feel free to redirect me. I'm running 7.0-RELEASE-p4 and trying to backup to an external USB drive. I'm using the following command dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a Where df: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/mfid0s1a 507630 208436 258584 45% / /dev/da1s1d 709513458

Colleagues, 3 of 4 times this machine failed to boot, panicing somewhere in late kernel initialization phase (before /sbin/init is executed) I have serial console and KDB enabled, so can do experiments. Last two crashes: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor read data, page not present instruction pointer =

Any progress here? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in 7.1 latest, or should we start looking for different backup solution (in this case I would suggest to remove dump from the source tree - having a backup tool that doesn't work is worse than having none). After upgrading we basically cannot backup our servers. Shouldn't this issue be on

I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3 p5 last night.

1. I have a realtek network card and am using a cable modem router. Does anyone know if fixes for problems with these (see below) have been backported from HEAD to RELENG_7? 2. Is this a good time to upgrade to RELENG_7? 3. I read a post last week that advised that 7.1 is a long way off. Appreciate any advice on use of ULE 3.0 and ZFS prior to 7.1 and a comment on what is holding up 7.1. Thanks

Hi, Is there a way to make use of hardware monitoring on Intel 945GCLF (with Atom 230 cpu)? It is relatively new child of Intel, but maybe someone figured it out yet. pciconf -lv shows this: ichsmb0@pci0:0:31:3: class=0x0c0500 card=0x464c8086 chip=0x27da8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus

Hello All, I mentioned a problem with this once before, and was referred to other threads that also talked about this. But I believe a recent problem I was experiencing, may have been related to this: [: -le: argument expected. So I'd like to bring it up again, in hopes that someone might have a cure. Specifically, two printf()'s are sent to the same line, which results in a /very/ hard

Hi, Whilst doing some QA work on XORP on my desktop, which has fxp0 and msk0, fxp0 got totally hosed. I was running PIM-SM and IGMPv2 router-mode on the box at the time. I wonder if this is related to the problems with fxp multicast transmission I saw back in April. I'm a bit concerned about this as fxp is still a very widespread and useful network chip. I am running

Hi I installed the following driver. http://www.f.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki//software/freebsd-nfe.html Before I had the nve driver which was unstable on this server and on a prior server in both cases causing either spontaneous reboot or just a crash when under load. So far touchwood the nfe driver has stayed up and running at almost 3 days uptime and has had some stress. I know the driver

Hi there, I have been looking at a system which has the Intel ICH7 south bridge. Whenever I try to probe the SMBus on this system with 'smbmsg -p', I get a lot of status=41 timeout messages in dmesg from the ichsmb(4) driver. I have been given the addresses of the SMBus peripherals and have tried initiating reads to their register space directly using 'smbmsg', with the same

Hello, i'm experiencing periodic kernel panics on a server with FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #0: Tue May 20 19:09:43 CEST 2008.

Greetings I am having trouble with suspend/resume on my Thinkpad X31, running 7.0-STABLE as of April 23. Any help would be appreciated. First problem: When I run "acpiconf -s3" from mulituser mode, the system suspends immediately, without executing /etc/rc.suspend (which has mode 755); then on resume, I get a panic. Second problem: When the system panics, I don't get a dump (or
