I just upgraded from MySQL 4 to MySQL 5 on a dual processor AMD-64 system, and MySQL now cannot keep up with the processing it needs to do. I need at least 500Gb for my MySQL customers, and am using a couple of 750Gb SATA drives - non raid. I was advised to switch to SAS for better performance. And to RAID for the 500Gb which I need. I see the RAID section in the 7.0 GENERIC kernel of: aac aacp ida mfi mlx pst twe Could someone please advise my best course of action for RAID? That is, the best controller (driver) to be using, and the most advisable method to provide myself with perhaps 750Gb of storage in a SAS & AMD environment? Or, would SATA work just as well for me under the correct RAID environment? Extreme thanks!

If you're building a database server, you dont need MB/s but IOps. Have you considered an SSD for this cause? The Intel SSD that arrives in Q4 2008 is said to do about 4.000 random write IOps, much more than the 100-200 a HDD will do. If you put two 256GB SSDs in RAID0 (geom_stripe) you have a 500GB volume with capable of lots of IOps. Just make sure there is no stripe misalignment, so pick stripesize 64KiB and label directly on the RAID device. Thus no partitions on the RAID device; this is the simplest to avoid a misalignment. You can put the SATA disks straight on the motherboard so you don't need a hardware controller. This saves cost and compensates for the high cost of SSD disks. But you don't need many! And unlike HDDs, an SSD would be quite safe to use in RAID0 mode. You should always have backups, ofcourse. RAID can never replace those. - Veronica From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Aug 28 09:21:27 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 67C631065691 for ; Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:21:27 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from m0ps.ua@gmail.com) Received: from ug-out-1314.google.com (ug-out-1314.google.com [66.249.92.172]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EC80B8FC13 for ; Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:21:26 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from m0ps.ua@gmail.com) Received: by ug-out-1314.google.com with SMTP id o4so1034652uge.39 for ; Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:21:25 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:from:to :subject:mime-version:content-type; bh=RAb6DQ7ozXEOCvHq9tArUNpG1jL3S9WnOfwvpMV5Udg=; b=axmXVWQQIVNQc9SeOcHR0Jz0G9zuK2NAQPFOei6Wrh1nRMANxPxRhHy8e5AtuQa2ED FBn1uPYvG/UU2qxGuXisZVSHS/xppEOolMlulhg3lt9V1fqe2TUmzvNUpvNVDt+yZW5r wKl92/7VMpeGPG/E4VyLWLAlW9SbhMIHTiwAg= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=message-id:date:from:to:subject:mime-version:content-type; b=ESWDcKFAnf6gNGxzzjxnstWL+Qnh33TLwNJY9+dng/0uaERN5fet7Z1kpduaEVN/3F cB7XDiSfEjwakbaSGaOWXxqryv61NLo0b96zQ4y/5PtJQj9Gy0NPclCz4hGH0e7fyWMQ 6ZMJkaXS/TGIx9jtwawiNSwuociW22kcbq/0U= Received: by 10.66.221.19 with SMTP id t19mr3060799ugg.69.1219913656369; Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:54:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.210.38.1 with HTTP; Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:54:16 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:54:16 +0300 From: m0ps To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.5 Subject: Cronyx OMEGA-PCI on FreeBSD 7.0 X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:21:27 -0000 is the next big challenge: i'm have old server with freebsd 4. xx that has an multiport pci card Cronyx OMEGA-PCI which are connected to dialup modems. i'm need move this server to another hardware, and update to FreeBSD 7.0. as it became known from the site of producer of card, in order that the card would be brought to freebsd above 6.x Boards need to make emulation mode MOXA and compile kernel with device puc, which was successfully done. after reboot with the new kernel machine saw 8 com ports in this form: uart0: on puc0 uart0: [FILTER] uart1: on puc0 uart1: [FILTER] uart2: on puc0 uart3: [FILTER] uart3: on puc0 uart3: [FILTER] uart4: on puc0 uart4: [FILTER] uart5: on puc0 uart5: [FILTER] uart6: on puc0 uart6: [FILTER] uart7: on puc0 uart7: [FILTER] in / dev created devices from cuau0 to cuau7 the first port to join dialup modem (us robotics) try to check his work: cu-l / dev/cuau0-s 57600 in response getting Connected, enter AT but did not get a response, instead, begins to run the cursor across the screen.

When Dbsd starts load the keyboard controller atkbd0 and the keyboard works fine with the console: dmesg | grep kbd kbd1 at kbdmux0 atkbdc0: at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 atkbd0: irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] but when the boot gets to the kdm (kde) screen I can't login cause my keyboard is blocked and any key work, there is no input of it until I unplug my keyboard and plug it back again and then this is the output of dmesg: kbd1 at kbdmux0 atkbdc0: at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 atkbd0: irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ukbd0: Dell Dell USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/3.06, addr 3, iclass 3/1 kbd2 at ukbd0. I have tried to install pc-bsd and FreeBSD 7.0 release but and I have the same result. I have been looking for about it and I have found some similar but I'm not very sure how to do it: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/bsd-17/freebsd-install-with-usb-keyboard-311089/ I looked at my BIOS "USB device settings" --> "USB controller" and there are two options (Enable and Disabled) and two modes operation USB (high speed and low speed), but nothing about USB legacy. On desktopbsd, is there any chance to configure its kernel like on Freebsd and disable aktbd (AT keyboard interface)?. Any other suggestion?. Thanks in advance and I'm sorry for my bad english. Cheers.

The "USB Legacy" option in BIOSes allows USB keyboards to work in operating systems which lack a USB stack, such as MS-DOS, or the FreeBSD bootloader. The option should not affect the FreeBSD kernel once started and the USB stack loaded. I would try disabling the AT keyboard interface using /boot/loader.conf and see if it makes a difference for you. I believe this should do it: hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" You'll need to reboot after adding the above. If that doesn't work, try disabling the keyboard multiplex driver in a similar way: hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1" -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
