What kind of interface are you pinging through?

I've seen this on a VPN where the VPN was running out of entropy
(from /dev/random). I think it was a tun# interface.

Could also be an MBUF thing. Does netstat -m say anything scary?

I've seen it with NMAP over my WI0 card (Linksys V3).

MBUF's didn't show anything useful, unfortunately.

I have ipf enabled on that interface, no VPN and nothing that should
require entropy.

I'll take a look when I can provoke it again.

no ipfw, and ipmon says the packets are not being blocked (they get

A different card isn't much use - it's the built in wireless.

Check the queue statistics. It could be a queue overflow due to
stalls in the wireless card accepting new packets, due to
excessive collisions on a hard line.

test2:/home/dillon> sysctl -a | fgrep ip.intr_qu
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen: 50
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops: 0

Queue drops can also occur if you are using large TCP buffers.

Greetings,

I have seen this occur on numerous occasions from our network as it spans the city via wireless
links. I see this most when we get interference on the same channel as someone else when they try
to use the channels we are on, causing the access points to go a little crazy. Almost in all cases
i have seen it has been from interference from other sources causing the interface to temporally
loose link for a few breif seconds or loss of the access point completely due to interference. (We
have some companies around here that don't like to play nice, and we have a very crowded radio
space.) Just thought i would throw in my two cents. :-)

Hmm... the issue here is with interface _outbound_ buffers, not with the IP
inbound queue. Despite ping / ip_output() claiming ENOBUFS,
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops will probably remain unchanged. netstat -s /
netstat -i would probably offer better diagnostics in this case.

IIRC, block sizes greater than 16384 can cause significant buffer
cache fragmentation, which can reduce I/O performance. Moreover,
blocks that large will waste space and I/O bandwidth unless most
of the files on the disk are very large. A smaller setting,
e.g. the default, is probably more appropriate.

The default wasted too much disk space (we didn't get that 1.0TB of
usable space out of it (it was more like 893GB of total usable space.)

I do think I am wasting a bit of space. We have under 300 users with more
than 150MB of used disk. The rest of the users have between 4k and 100MB worth
of materials. Most things are web pages and images (what about 8k a page and
16k for a good png or 64k or a good jpg?)

This is kind of why I'm asking.

As for performance impacts, I've not seen too much in the way of that. This
is one of the fastest file systems I've got in production. The two other
"big" file systems are two raids formated with Linux's reiserfs which are
pretty darn fast when it comes to smaller files.

Overall, I'm really impressed by FreeBSD's stability and scaleablity. The
file server has just done more than I would have ever expected and with
over a year worth of uptime since our last, um, issue, it's gone
the distance... you definatly don't get that from Linux or any MS product.

The only thing I'd want from FreeBSD is clustering and HA (with failover
for NFS and SAMBA :-)

To the development team: Keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Ryan

When you say ``the default wasted too much disk space'', do you
mean that when you formatted the filesystem, you had less space
than you expected, or do you mean that there was less space left
after you put all of your data on it? Smaller block sizes mean
more space for free block bitmaps, which are allocated at
filesystem creation time, but overall they are a win in terms of
space because of reduced internal fragmentation. Consider what
happens when you put a 10K file on the disk. Depending on whether
the filesystem is optimizing for space or time, that file will
take up 16K or 64K in your 64/16 filesystem, but substantially
less with a 16/2 FS. So unless you are expecting most of your
files to be rather large, a smaller block size may be beneficial.
Note, however, that I'm not an FFS expert; other factors such as
fragmentation may be relevant.

That's good to know. I remember that Matt pointed out the buffer
cache fragmentation issue some time ago, but nothing seems to have
changed in terms of buffer sizes since then. Perhaps it isn't as
big an issue as originally thought. (Does anyone know if it's
possible to tune BKVASIZE easily, and if there are any caveats?)

I would also be interested in knowing how FFS and reiserfs compare
with respect to filesystem age. Does performance drop
significantly after a year? If the research I've seen is right,
FFS performance shouldn't drop more than 20% unless the filesystem
is nearly full, and reiserfs has a cleaner...

In particular, this is the warn() on line 786 of ping.c (4.7-R):

777 i = sendto(s, (char *)outpack, cc, 0, (struct sockaddr
*)&whereto,
778 sizeof(whereto));
779
780 if (i < 0 || i != cc) {
781 if (i < 0) {
782 if (options & F_FLOOD && errno ==
ENOBUFS) {
783 usleep(FLOOD_BACKOFF);
784 return;
785 }
786 warn("sendto");
787 } else {
788 warn("%s: partial write: %d of %d
bytes",
789 hostname, i, cc);
790 }
791 }

The sendto() on line 777 failed because there is insufficient buffer
space to buffer any more icmp packets. The usual reason for this is the
machine you're attempting to ping can't be reached via whatever route
you're using.

Interference is preventing the card from transmitting, causing packets
to accumulate in the outgoing queue.

I have bee looking into this, the machine is a loaner,
it contains three em's which I can see fine, an fxp
and a bge which I can not.

The two nics I cant see are not listed as unknown devices either,
they seem to be hidden behind the compaq hotplug pci controller

Sorry, ENOCLUE. What I know is that our bge(4) driver is
buggy with some old firmware cards, like the one we had
here, so it may or may not work for you.

Dummynet queues with RED might help -- changing the behavior from tail

The formatted file system had less total available space left on it. Now
it was like 5am and I'd been up for the past 24 hours setting things up
two years ago so it's a bit fuzzy :-)

Right now the FS is optimizing for time.

I had read some where (I'll see if I can dig up my notes), but I remember
getting the distinct feeling that the larger block size was what I wanted,
but like I said, it's all a bit fuzzy.

I'll see about running some dbench marks or bonnie and see how things
shape up.

Welllll ... yes and no. I wasn't putting the drive on the first and second
IDE controllers. The motherboard had two additional IDE controllers,
Promise ATA66, on it.

On some BIOS, you can direct the machine to look at slot devices before
onboard devices, that might help your situation.

Not that it's any kind of solution, but in the end, while attempting to do
another install on the system, I accepted the default sizes for the
filesystems and it worked. Creating a / filesystem of 128MB ... and from
there it booted fine.

Subject: IBM x335 Broadcom BCM5703 NICs not detected by 4.7-R

Greetings,

I am attempting to configure FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE to run on an IBM
xSeries 335. The two motherboard Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet devices are
not detected by the kernel. Relevant output of 'boot -v'...

rev=0x02 hdr=0x00

device = 'BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet'

I fiddled with BIOS settings (no "PnP OS" option) and tried a stripped
down kernel with no success. Installing a 3c905 PCI card works fine, but
I would prefer to use the built in NICs.

Any suggestions?

I have a Compaq ML310 with a Broadcom Gigabit NIC which also was not
detected by 4.7-REL. I dropped in an Intel NIC, cvsupped to 4.7-STABLE,
and the newer kernel recognized the Broadcom.

Subject: FreeBSD set up on Compaq Proliant 5500

I am obviously doing something wrong which is causing
difficulty installing freebsd 4.7 in the following
circumstances:

Quad Processor Compaq Proliant with 3200 Raid (2 Channel
LVD/SE Scsi Array Controller)
Prior to installing FreeBSD using the Compaq SmartStart
utility I created a raid (Array A) on the first raid channel
using four physical drives each of 18.2G using RAID 5.

Array A is divided into 11 logical Drives each with the
following number of 512 sectors:
Logical #1,8,10 ------4194240
Logical #2,7------- 8364000
Logical #3,4------- 16776960
Logical #5--------- 2097120
Logical #6--------- 6291360
Logical #9--------- 8380320
Logical#11-------- 27050400

The 11 logical drives reported by Compaq Raid Controller on
POST and no errors are reported when Compaq Array Diagnostic
Utility is run.

On Boot up using FreeBSD 4.7 CD FreeBSD Reports drives A
thru J

In the FreeBSD select drives drives utility the following
drives are identified:

idad0, 4194240 Sectors (2047MB)
idad1, 8364000 Sectors (4083MB)
idad2, 16776960 Sectors (8191MB)
idad3 16776960 Sectors (8191MB)

None of the other logical drives are identified by the
install utility.

Whilst it may only be a coincidence it seems odd that
FreeBSDis only "seeing" the first logical raid partitions
and that there are four physical drives. Do I need some kind
of driver installed so that FreeBSD can recognize the
logical raid partitions?

Help appreciated

Thanks

David

You could create the missing manually,
$cd /dev
$sh MAKEDEV idad4 .... etc.

for each logical drive.
