1) I am unable to recompile the kernel at the moment. Though that is an option long-term moving forward and I'd love to learn more about both ringmap and netmap. 2) From my understanding both ringmap and netmap are still considered quite eclectic in their level of use and tests backing their...

You are absolutely correct and this should be noted for other people using this solution. There are a few unfortunate things in my situation that prevent me from doing this on this box.

Has anyone seen any major performance increase in 8.2 or 9 with net.bpf.zerocopy_enable?

Sure thing! I added the following to my /etc/gettytab: ConsoleApp|console|Console Application:\ :ht:np:sp#115200:lo=/usr/local/bin/customconsole.sh:al=root: My /usr/local/bin/customconsole.sh sets the appropriate env variables (PATH, PYTHONPATH, etc) and then calls exec /usr/local/bin/console...

I just got my application running on boot in my tty without login by modifying /etc/ttys and /etc/gettytab. I'm still not sure where I should attempt to switch force the tty switch. I'm going to try assigning my console application to ttyv2 and have my console application invoke vidcontrol and...

Nope, I have commented out the default entry to /dev/console and am redirecting messages to a log file. This covers most cases, but not all messages the kernel might produce. I have also switched my console application over to being controlled by /etc/ttys. Once I figure out how to switch ttys...

That is correct. Either that or find a different way to avoid system console messages outputting over my console daemon. Thanks!

I quickly tried putting the vidcontrol command in rc.local and even in cron with @reboot, but no luck thus far. My daemon is actually invoked by the rc.d system, but I could move some things around need be. Anyone know how to delegate a different tty as the "main" tty for console messages or...

I'll give that a try. A separate issue I've had in 8.2 is that I've noticed switching tty's causes an odd lag time of a 2 seconds or so. I haven't dug into what's causing this, but it seems to freeze the system for those two seconds and some of my heartbeat monitoring daemons start throwing...

I have a custom dialog/console application that opens once the my 8.2 system has finished booting, but there are occasional kernel and system messages that output to tty1 over my dialog application, which makes my application almost undecipherable. I've been able to silence most of the system...

ecazamir, There's no doubt that would reduce impact on network performance, but unfortunately, that is not an option.

I'm currently running 8.2, IPFW, and our internal libpcap logging tool, on two different hardware flavors for our gateway firewalls (inline bridge). Our lower end unit is an Intel Dual Core 2.7Ghz proc with onboard gigabit Broadcom (bce) NICS. Our higher end units have an Intel Quad Core Xeon...

Thanks SirDice! I was able to export my ports and packages via pkg_create. When I go to reinstall them on my other machines, will I need to install them in a specific order or will pkg_add know what it needs to do to install a dependency? I'll read up on bsdinstall, but I don't have forum...

Apologies if my terminology is off, but I have a server that I've installed a custom kernel, several ports, and several packages on, and I need to deploy the exact same set of packages on about 50 other identical servers. Side Note: Originally I was only installing packages, but I ended up...

I'm having trouble installing git from ports and I'm getting multiple 'no address record' and 'file unavailable' errors. It looks like this is mostly due to kernel.org still being down for maintenance due the recent security happenings. Installing via packages is not an option for me, since it...

I'm currently running some python startup scripts on boot and was wondering the earliest possible place I could set the PYTHONPATH variable. I can get around this on a script by script by basis by utilizing the sys.path.append() function in python, but would like to set the variable properly...

This where my VLAN inexperience shows. The bridge interface, which is being used as the management interface, should be able to reside in a specific VLAN without affecting the various VLAN tagged traffic running through it for networks downstream.

Although I've had a bit of experience playing with FreeBSD transparent bridge implementations, I have not yet used them in a VLAN tagged environment. I'm trying to implement a simple transparent bridged firewall (two interfaces, both bridge0 members, IP assigned to bridge0) in a VLAN...

After taking some time to focus on some different areas, I'm running up against this problem again with no solution. Does anyone have any input on the issue described in my original post?

Can I provide any more information regarding my issue? Please let me know if there's something that is unclear :(
