00:04:39 <markboston> this is weird does no one reveal chipset names anymore?
00:11:07 <topcat001> sysctl net.wlan.devices ?
00:14:01 <markboston> that took longer then it should of
00:14:14 <markboston> ax201
00:17:09 <markboston> well it seems the driver wasn’t available but is now
00:17:42 <markboston> i’m wondering if whatever version that’s on the iso is out of date?
00:17:52 <hernan> fbsd 14 ?
00:19:14 <markboston> yup
00:19:18 <hernan> it is possible that your hardware is not supported.. if thats the case, look into wifibox https://xyinn.org/md/freebsd/wifibox
00:19:19 <VimDiesel> Title: Fast & Stable WiFi with wifibox on FreeBSD | @fearedbliss
00:19:52 <markboston> according to the bug report i found it is as of october
00:20:00 <hernan> in wifibox you will need to open the wifibox console and add your wpa_supplicant info inside the wifibox vm

00:20:26 <VimDiesel> Title: 244261 – Add support for Intel AX200 (iwx) wireless devices
00:21:28 <markboston> it’s using iwlwifi which is correct
00:22:29 <markboston> is there a way to see if the device is up? ifconfig just gives me the loop back
00:27:00 <markboston> ok i see the issue
00:27:27 <markboston> even though the driver is being loaded for some reason my device isn’t being seen
00:31:02 <markboston> and i can confirm it is supported
00:31:48 <markboston> maybe it got turned off somehow? my laptop does have function keys to do that but i already tried that
00:32:12 <markboston> is there a rfkill in bsd?

00:33:28 <VimDiesel> Title: Chapter 7. Network | FreeBSD Documentation Portal
00:33:41 <topcat001> did you add the rc.conf bits?
00:35:19 <markboston> i did not
00:35:48 <markboston> the installer should say hey don’t try looking for network until you
00:36:01 <topcat001> https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/network/#basic-wireless-configuration
00:36:02 <markboston> configure the card*

00:36:17 <markboston> :p
00:36:25 <markboston> thabks for your help
00:36:32 <markboston> but yes yes rffm
00:37:18 <topcat001> I can't remember what the installer does with wifi rn. On the laptop I have it on I configured it later, and used ethernet to install.
00:37:49 <topcat001> good luck; hope it works!
08:18:25 <mane_> i am using openvpn and nating with pf from via my fbsd vps, i get only 10mbit downloads, any clue why?
08:19:42 <mane> i want it to serve with the full bandwith
09:34:15 <mane> well, i am nating via openvpn with pf on freebsd vps
09:34:25 <mane> i am getting low bandwidth on the clients
09:34:39 <mane> how can i set it to normal speeds?
09:46:22 <yuripv> mane: tried switching openvpn to udp (or to tcp if using udp now)?
09:46:36 <mane> it is on udp :((
10:33:49 <debdrup> On a 10Gbps connection using udp, the tunnel interface (the fastest option at the time), and 40k jumboframes (after that, it started getting into diminishing returns), I was able to push north of 400Mbps - I expect that ovpn(4) will improve things somewhat by not having to context switch as much, but fundamentally, OpenVPN isn't made for speed.
10:36:32 <debdrup> It's one of the reasons I've stuck with IPsec for as long as I have, with the other reasons being that 1) I know how to configure it because I had to learn back in the bad old days when there was no alternative, and 2) setup properly, you can give people a profile that they can import into their OS' implementation of IPsec, and not have to spend time configuring their systems.
11:05:59 <hwpplayer1> hi FreeBSD People !
11:35:57 <angry_vincent> Hi.
12:05:17 <mane> i really need to fix this issue XXD
12:05:29 <mane> the whole project relies on this XDD
14:06:24 <VVD> mane, do u test speed with iperf?
14:06:36 <mane> i tested it with ookla
14:06:48 <VVD> I don't know what is it.
14:06:59 <mane> server goes 860/450 no problem
14:07:06 <mane> but my clients go 10/40
14:07:21 <mane> ookla is that popular speedtester
14:07:27 <mane> speedtest.net
14:14:30 <VVD> mane, use iperf for network test
14:14:47 <VVD> benchmarks/iperf3
14:15:07 <mane> that's irrevelant
14:15:19 <mane> i get bad performance, bad download on clients
14:26:04 <mane> any settings for tun0 i could set? i tried mtu, didn't make a differenfce
14:50:43 <VVD> irrevelant testing network bandwidth in your software
14:52:00 <elirco> mane: the clients net connectivity is via lan or wifi?
14:52:00 <VVD> 1st of all you must test raw bandwidth
14:52:16 <mane> elirco coax lan 350/60
14:52:25 <mane> raw is fine
14:52:27 <elirco> ah ok so that is not the issue
14:53:04 <mane> there has to be either pf or tun0 or kernel setting i need to change\
14:53:52 <VVD> run iperf and check CPU usage
14:54:03 <mane> it's chillingm, i checked htop
14:54:05 <mane> chilling
14:54:19 <VVD> on both sides
14:54:25 <mane> clients are chill
14:54:35 <mane> yesterday there was debian on this vps, there were no issues
14:58:31 <VVD> If you don't want to do what you were advised to do, then why are you asking for advice?
15:02:08 <mane> i did all of that already :s
15:02:11 <mane> XDD
15:03:03 <mane> nio vpn - full speed - vpn cliejnts slow, tested with speedtest, two different devices, clients and the server are not in stress, server maxes out the connection outside the tunnel
16:25:47 <babz> Ookla wont let you test the connection between your two machines
16:27:45 <babz> Also, its expected to have a much slower bandwith with a userspace vpn, but 10 Mb/s sounds very slow even for an old machine
16:31:29 <mane> it will if it bottlenecks on vpon :V
16:32:02 <mane> yesterday it was debian there and it was fine, but i want fbsd
16:33:18 <babz> What crypto suite are you using ?
16:38:47 <mane> babz it's just openvpn
16:39:07 <babz> With which algorithm ?
16:39:28 <mane> hm
16:40:49 <mane> cipher AES-256-CBC
16:48:50 <babz> Does your cpu has AES-NI ?
16:49:59 <babz> You might need to load its driver aesni(4)
16:50:43 <babz> Also, i think it's slightly more efficient with AES in GCM mode
16:51:18 <mane> kldload: can't load aesni: module already loaded or in kernel
16:51:31 <mane> :DD
16:52:47 <mane> also, uploads are fine, it's the downstream that is sluggish
16:52:59 <mane> (upstream for the server)
16:55:57 <babz> Bandwith thst you've not tested without your vpn, amirite ?
16:59:20 <mane> YES
16:59:26 <mane> x((
17:13:14 <nerozero> Hi there
17:17:59 <nerozero> how can I change flavor in poudriere ?
17:22:23 <nerozero> ok never mind, fixed
17:22:55 <nerozero> but can I have multiple flavor for specific ports in poudriere pkg_list file ?
17:27:40 <angry_vincent> Yes.
17:27:50 <angry_vincent> look for sets
17:29:43 <nerozero> ok... could anyone give me sample how to clean certain package from poudriere jail ?
17:30:43 <nerozero> trying this - "poudriere pkgclean -j freebsd_13_2_amd64_nox -C lang/php82" but it doesn't seems to work ...
17:36:45 <nerozero> never mind -p <tree> was required ...
17:36:47 <nerozero> thanks
18:15:24 <nerozero> Failed, I have enabled php82 in the ports and now php82 is a default flavor, cant roll back to previous state
18:15:50 <nerozero> how can I force to "forget" poudriere php82 option ?\
18:16:02 <nerozero> I have removed all mentions from the list file
18:18:58 <mane> ok now easier thing, i'm trying to connect to smb4 from my macos client, i get auth error, i did everything right according to the handbook\
18:39:22 <VVD> iperf3 via openvpn show 20.0 Mbits/sec to my office with uplink speed 30Mbit/s
18:40:09 <VVD> 7% cpu on my very old Core 2 Duo E6750⊙3 (oveclock) - openvpn client
18:41:25 <VVD> 10-15% CPU on openvpn server with very old Xeon X3430⊙2
18:43:07 <VVD> plz, test bandwidth via openvpn with iperf first in both directions and check CPU usage during tests
18:45:06 <VVD> direct without openvpn I got same 20Mbit/s to same server
19:23:36 <voy4g3r2> this is going to sound like a weird question.. if i am changing compression on zfs pool from gzip to lz4 should i expect a "delay"
19:23:45 <voy4g3r2> as in.. it will take time for the system to switch over to that compression model?
19:24:00 <voy4g3r2> i read material and it seems to assume you have no data on the pool to begin with..
19:24:23 <unixwitch> voy4g3r2: no, changing compression doesn't do anything with the existing data, it only affects newly written data
19:24:51 <voy4g3r2> thank you unixwitch
19:24:59 <unixwitch> you would need to rewrite the existing data if you want it compressed with the new algorithm (zfs send | zfs recv should work for that, i think)
19:25:23 <voy4g3r2> good thing to try with my next time machine backup.. right now gzip is doing a 1x
19:25:52 <unixwitch> lz4 is unlikely to be better than gzip, its advantage is that it offers comparable compression ratio but much higher performance
19:29:25 <voy4g3r2> good to know, i will monitor as it looks like i have to update this pool to not consume my whole hard drive array.. it is already at 223gig of space..
19:31:14 <unixwitch> voy4g3r2: Time Machine is supposed to automatically delete older backups when the storage becomes full, perhaps setting a quota on the filesystem would force it to do that?  (i haven't tried that)
19:31:37 <voy4g3r2> yeah, that is what i need to do.. while figuring that out, i saw this compression stuff
19:31:52 <voy4g3r2> figure a quota of 500 gig should work.. then time machine does its magic
19:32:47 <voy4g3r2> and something like zfs set quota=500G storage/backups
19:32:49 <voy4g3r2> is sooo easy
19:33:00 <mane> :DD
19:34:59 <voy4g3r2> still do not understand how 1 gig of data was "udpated" in a day on a laptop..but that is something different
19:46:02 <unixwitch> has anyone had issues with ixgbe(4) not coming up at 10GbE?  the link on the switch comes up then immediately goes down every 30s... i'm going to ask the switch vendor but maybe someone ran into a problem like this.  i don't think it's a cable issue, and 1G works fine
19:50:52 <VVD> unixwitch, anyway try to test with other cable - copper 8P8C 6+ cat or fiber?
19:53:58 <unixwitch> VVD: copper, Cat6A STP.  i'm planning to test with another cable but i need to physically move the system (or maybe make up a temporary cable...)
19:54:26 <unixwitch> i did change the patch cable at both ends and also rewired the socket at the host end since it looked a bit iffy, but no difference
19:56:56 <VVD> I tested cat5e - some cables work fine with 10GE, some not.
19:57:33 <VVD> Also you can test in different ports in switch and if u have different switch.
19:57:46 <VVD> BTW, what switch?
20:03:28 <unixwitch> VVD: i've tried two different switch ports, but i don't have another 10G copper switch around to test with.  it's a mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG
20:03:44 <unixwitch> might try with a 10GBASE-T SFP, i think i have one lying around somewhere
20:04:38 <unixwitch> (i hate these though because they generate a ridiculous amount of heat)
20:16:08 <VVD> unixwitch, if ur network card support u can try to force 5GE and look how it going
20:17:15 <unixwitch> this one only does 1G/10G unfortunately
20:35:21 <VVD> ah, ye, ixgbe doesn't support 2.5 and 5GE
20:37:33 <VVD> I have ix and ixl - both doesn't support 2.5 and 5GE.
22:27:41 <adiabatic> I started up my headless FreeBSD machine today and SSH wouldn't log in after ages. I decided to plug a monitor in and I've got a bunch of errors that look like disk-read errors. The last one is `Mounting from ufs:/dev/ada0p2 failed with error 22: Invalid fstype`. Everything I _really_ care about is on my ZFS mirror set, ada1+ada2. Do I just yank the disk with ada0 on it, buy a new one on the Internet, and reinstall FreeBSD?
22:27:57 <adiabatic> I have a `mountroot>` prompt, if that helps.
22:28:32 <unixwitch> adiabatic: i would start by booting from the install media (DVD/USB/whatever) and see what's going on with your current root disk.  if it's really broken, then yes, you can just replace it and reinstall
22:29:14 <adiabatic> How would I see? Figure out what ada0 is under the boot disk, and then run fsck on it?
22:30:11 <unixwitch> start with 'gpart show' (don't use fdisk, you never use that in freebsd) then try mounting it
22:32:19 <adiabatic> I think I'm running 13.something (I was going to check and see if I have an upgrade to 14 pending or if I'd already done it). Can I just make/use a 14 boot disk, or is that inadvisable?
22:40:46 <unixwitch> adiabatic: 14.0 should be fine, although it seems reasonable to use the same version that's already installed
22:56:25 <adiabatic> …so I booted from USB stick. I want to use the live CD, right?
22:59:22 <mane> there is a memstick image on for download
23:00:27 <unixwitch> is 'use the live CD' one of the options it presents on boot?  if so yes, whichever option gives you a shell
23:00:30 <adiabatic> well, it said "live CD" in the installer text. I wasn't confused by that…
23:00:43 <adiabatic> well, there was _also_ a shell option that was called that
23:00:56 <adiabatic> so I figured "installer shell" vs. "generic shell"
23:02:17 <adiabatic> Neither ZFS thing is showing up. I suppose that's to be expected…
23:06:32 <unixwitch> yes, ZFS pools don't show up unless you manually import them (which you shouldn't do here unless you have a reason to)
23:09:46 <adiabatic> I tried `mount -o ro /dev/ada0 /slash`. It complained there's no directory to attach to. I tried making that directory, and it complained the file system is read-only. Tried that in root's ~, same error. Is there a decent place in /var that I can mount my probably-busted drive onto?
23:17:20 <unixwitch> adiabatic: you can't mount ada0 since that's the entire disk, use 'gpart show' to find the appropriate partition, e.g. ada0p2.  there should be a /mnt directory you can mount on
23:17:37 <adiabatic> Oh, right. Thanks.
23:18:31 <adiabatic> `mkdir: /mnt/slash: Read-only file system`
23:31:25 <unixwitch> just mount it on /mnt directly
23:32:55 <adiabatic> fair 'nuff
23:33:03 <adiabatic> OK, this looks familiar:
23:34:14 <adiabatic> (ada0:ahcich0:0:0:0): READ_FPDMA_QUEUED. ACB: «space-separated hex digits»
23:34:26 <adiabatic> (ada0:ahcich0:0:0:0): CAM status: Auto-Sense Retrieval Failed
23:34:40 <adiabatic> (ada0:ahcich0:0:0:0): Error 5: Unretryable Error
23:34:51 <adiabatic> Time to go disk shopping?
23:38:26 <unixwitch> if it was working before then probably yes.  you could check the disk's SMART status to confirm, but i'm not sure how you'd get smartctl onto the live image for that...
23:39:31 <adiabatic> First dead disk I've had in a while. Thanks a bunch for the handholding.
23:57:42 <rwp> We don't know yet if the disk is in trouble or if the file system bits are simply corrupted.  It could be either given the data so far.  The disk might be okay.  Or might not be.
23:59:34 <rwp> You can test the zfs pool condition using "zfs import" and confusingly it won't actually import anything without any options but will just report the pools available for import.
