P.S.S: src.conf is the correct place this should be placed but will also
work if placed in make.conf.

As stated in src.conf(5)
---
The src.conf file contains settings that will apply to every build
involving the FreeBSD source tree; see build(7).

The src.conf file uses the standard makefile syntax. However, src.conf
should not specify any dependencies to make(1). Instead, src.conf is to
set make(1) variables that control the aspects of how the system builds.
---

It would be almost to the same effect of doing this at the end of your
make.conf except it has already been done for you elsewhere.

.if ${.CURDIR:M/usr/src*}
.include "/etc/src.conf"
.endif

And can be easily tuned via the SRCCONF variable (unless of course
WITHOUT_SRCCONF is defined...), as this logic is a part of bsd.own.mk .

Thanks for pointers, I will run gpart to reinstall bootcode on my SD card.

I've read that FreeBSD kernel supports 3D acceleration in ATI R7xx
chipset and as I own motherboard with HD3300 built-in I thought that I
would give it a try. I upgraded to see if there is any progress with
Âżzfs? I don't really know if it's zfs related, but at certain load, my
system crashes, and reboots. It happens only when using bonnie++ to
benchmark I/O. And I'm a little bit to lazy to prepare my system for
coredumps - I don't have swap slice for crashdumps, because I wanted
to simplify adding drives to my raidz1 configuration. Could anyone
tell me what's needed, besides having swap to produce good crashdump?

At first I didn't knew that I am upgrading to bleeding edge/developer
branch of FreeBSD. I'll come straight out with it, 8.0-STABLE sounds
more stable than 8.0-RELEASE-p2, which I was running before upgrade ;)
I'm a little confused with FreeBSD release cycle at first I compared
it with Debian release cycle, because I'm most familiar to it, and I
used it a lot before using FreeBSD. Debian development is more
one-dimensional - unstable/testing/stable/oldstable whereas FreeBSD
has two stable branches - 8.0 and 7.2 which are actively developed.
But still I am confused with FreeBSD naming and it's relation with
tags which are used in standard-supfile. We have something like this:
9.0-CURRENT -> tag=.
8.0-STABLE -> tag=RELENG_8
8.0-RELEASE-p2 -> tag=RELENG_8_0 ? (btw what does p2 mean?)
If someone patient could explain it to me I'd be grateful.

As of right now, even if you don't care about capability to take crash
dumps, it is highly recommended to still use traditional swap
partitions even if your system is otherwise fully ZFS. There are know
stability problems involving using a ZVOL as a swap device. These
issues are being worked on, but this is still the situation as of now.

9-CURRENT: the real crazyland
8-STABLE: a dev branch, from which 8.0 was tagged and eventually 8.1 will be
RELENG_8_0: 8.0-RELEASE + latest critical security and reliability
updates (8.0 is up to patchset #2, hence -p2)

Same line of thinking applies to 7-STABLE, 7.3-RELEASE and so on.

If you can consistently panic your 8.0 system with just bonnie++
alone, something is really really wrong. Are you using an amd64 system
with 2gb ram or more or is this i386 + 1-2gb ram? Amd64 systems with
2gb ram or more don't really usually require any tuning whatsoever
(except for tweaking performance for a specific workload), but if this
is i386, tuning will be generally required to archieve stability.

Hello, I am putting together a couple update servers. Went with c2d
E7500 on gigabyte G41M-ES2L boards. fbsd 8.0 release generic (so far)
amd64, 1g mem, 1tb wd cavier blk, fresh system.
My Kill-a-watt shows 41 watts idle and when I enable powerd then it
climbs to 43 watts idle.
It shows that the freq is controlled well, goes down to 365 mhz but
the tdp is not decreased, rather it increases.
If I disable eist, c1 and c3 helpers in bios, as per suggestion in
mail archive, then it adds 1 watt to both figures. I was hoping to get
this total tdp down to a very low amount, and it is but it should
theoretically go lower with powerd, right?
The bios reports 1.268V and 26C temp. I was hoping that the voltage
would go down to .85 or so when powerd lowered the freq to 365 etc.
Healthd does not seem to know what monitoring chip it is and I have no
idea unless I install xp (ugh) and run something from cpuid.com on it.
What is a good/better/best monitoring program, mbmon and bsdhwmon are
untried for they are not current I see. Or what do I do from here to
fix this problem?
thx,
John

I get similar output on 8-STABLE and C2Q 9400/9450.

wasn't it supposed to attach ok ?

Anyone know how to tie the version of that document to the current version
that's in FreeBSD?

Overall, it's a great reference. Already answered a number of questions.

Here's another Sun doc that I used to get started:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Community+Group+zfs/demos/zfsdemo.pdf

It looks like it's for sales engineers who are going to do a demo of ZFS,
however it works quite well as a quick-start. It describes the basic
concepts well and walks you through creating some pools. It's hands-down
my favorite "Intro to ZFS" doc that I've found so far.

Thanks,

Charles

Your ACPI BIOS seems not reporting tables required to control EIST. So
powerd probably uses only thermal throttling, which is not really
effective for power saving on modern CPUs. You should check your BIOS
options or may be update BIOS.

If you have no luck with EIST - try to use C-states if BIOS reports at
least them. It also can be quite effective.

I have tried to build RELENG_7_3_0_RELEASE and have noticed that zfsloader
really doesn't supports ZFS due to incomplete Makefiles (LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT
issue).
Will be this issue fixed in 7.3-RELEASE?

I have AMD64 with ~3,6G ram (rest is assigned to built-in hd3300) and 3x500GB
in raidz1. As it's full zfs system, I'm booting from SD card. What should I
enable in kernel to produce good crashdump?
