I've been having some trouble with cvsup of late, and unfortunately I'm at a complete loss as to what may be causing it. There are two machines here that I've tried to update. My personal machine runs 4.0-CURRENT and the network firewall that runs 3.2-RELEASE. The cvsup program establishes a connection with a server properly, and everything is fine up until the "Running" phase. It's at this point where the transfer rate falls through the floor. Data is only transferred in short bursts of, say, 5k at a time, once every 10-15 seconds. After about 3 minutes of this behaviour the connection goes completely idle and eventually times out with the error: TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out The strange thing is that this problem only occurs when I'm using FreeBSD on my firewall box. I initially thought that my firewall rule set could be to blame, so I flushed all the rules and set the default policy to pass all packets. I then tried to cvsup the 3.2-RELEASE box using a direct modem connection to the net (no natd/firewall in the road), but still no luck. The last successful cvsup I did was about a month and a half ago, and at that time the firewall box was a linux machine using IP masquerading. I'd kept the harddrive with the linux setup around "just in case" so I swapped the harddrives, booted linux, and tried a cvsup from my 4.0-CURRENT machine (using linux as the firewall). It worked flawlessly -- and now I'm *really* confused. The FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE firewall box has worked perfectly for everything I've used it for (web browsing, ftp, mail, news, etc.) and yet it stumbles over cvsup connections?? If anyone can shed some light on my situation (or has experienced similar troubles themselves) I'd be most grateful to hear from you. -jake (obituary) Powered by FreeBSD c9710216@atlas.newcastle.edu.au http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
