I need a method to perform the following task, suppose if I have a computer with k (k is large) number of Ethernet interfaces. I want to have a method to identify which identifier (em0) is assigned to which physical interface. The only "easy" method that I came up is to blink the LED light on...

Hi guys: Suppose I have an embedded system running FreeBSD (minimal installation). What happens when the system runs out of memory? (I don't have swap space partition). What I noticed is when I run out of memory daemons die first. (sshd was killed first). What other side effects will there be...

Hi: On FreeBSD 8.2 I was wondering is the naming of ethernet interfaces consistent in the event of reboot. ie)The right most interface will be suffixed with 0, then the one next to it will be suffixed with 1, etc, and will stay the same regardless of rebooting. As I recall with FreeBSD 4...

Hi: Suppose if I have a DHCP server with a pool of address from 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.100 And for interface em0 I want to request the address of 192.168.0.50, is this possible with FreeBSD? I know I can do: interface "em0" { send host-name "myhostname"; send dhcp-requested-address...

Hi: I used to attach 2 connected pseudo-Ethernet interfaces to the host and the vimage, they are both on the same 10.1.1.0/24 subnet, the host have 10.1.1.1, and the vimage have 10.1.1.2, ssh on the host is listening on 10.1.1.1:2222 Thanks

Hi all! I have a machine with one vimage, with a world accessible IP address. The vimage has sshd running on port 22 listening on their IP address. The host machine has sshd running on 2222 listening on an internal address of 10.1.1.1 (I used netgraph). I want to be able to ssh into the host...

Much thanks, I figured a way to ssh to the jail then in the jail ssh to the host. Now I just have to tweak so that when i ssh with the jail's ip it will be forwarded to the host machine :)

Hi: I was wondering if this is possible. Suppose I have a machine with 2 ethernets both with a world accessible IP address. However, I also have 2 jails running, each with an ethernet in the jail. For instance: jail 1, eth0 has ip of 100.0.0.1 jail 2, eth0 has ip of 100.0.0.2 I can...

Hi: I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about the stability of vimage on FreeBSD 7 vs FreeBSD 8. From what I understand, vimage is included in FreeBSD 8 in /usr/src/tools/tools/vimage, whereas in FreeBSD 7 one would have to get the source from the internet. Would FreeBSD 8 have better...

Currently my ARC max is set to 512M.

I'm not using the 32 bit simply because I didn't have a copy on hand, but I'm going to try to install 64 bit and see where it gets me. But from above, I doubt I will get any writing speed with ZFS due to my PCI card.

My motherboard comes with 4 SATA headers, I purchased two PCI SATA cards with 4 headers each. 4 drives are plugged into my motherboard 4 and 3 drives are plugged into the PCI cards So essentially I would be better off if I just used the drives as it is. In theory sequential read/write...

Thank for the reply! My motherboard have 4 SATA headers, and I used one for the OS. But from where I am seeing things, I am thinking about: 1) tweak around ZFS 2) switch to Ubuntu, and just use the drives as they are. I am happy with 100mbps, since I am the only user. 3) switch to Windows server.

Thanks for the reply: Yes I am using the 32 bit version. The reason that I am limiting kmem to 1GB is because when I put it to anything above 1GB, the OS won't boot, I would have to escape to the recovery console, and manually set those settings to 1GB. I guess the problem here is that I...

Hello: My sincere apologies for another ZFS thread, I'm sure you guys are sick of seeing these threads. My hardware: E5500 CPU 4 Gigs of memory FreeBSD 8.1 PCI controllers for additional SATA headers 10x1TB drives I recompiled the kernel with option KVA_PAGES 512, and have set...
