<0> hi there. I've been an OpenBSD user for several years here. For the first time I just installed Open on a dual core system. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether dmesg should show a cpu0 and a cpu1 or just the cpu0?
<1> should show cpu0 and cpu1
<0> ok, that's what i thought
<1> did you use the smp kernel?
<0> yes, bsd.mp
<1> check the bios maybe
<0> that's what i thought. maybe turning on hyperthreading will help?
<1> is it dual core or hyperthreaded
<0> dual core
<0> it's an AMD opteron
<2> bsd.mp should show it
<2> hmm
<2> is it actual dual-cpu or dual-core/hyper-whstsit?
<0> just dual-core. not dual-cpu
<2> if it appears as dual-cpu, openbsd will deal wth it fine
<2> if it requires something special, it is doubtful
<0> that's what i'm wondering about though. Should dual cores show up like dual-CPU machines with a cpu0 and a cpu1?
<2> do they act like dual-CPU boxes?
<0> that's what i don't know. This is my first experience with a dual core system
<3> http://www.armorlogic.com/openbsd_information_server_compatibility_list.html?action=detail&id=x4200
<3> that's a sunfire x4200 with 2x dual-core opteron, shows up as cpu0-3
<0> interesting
<2> seems like dual-core turns up like dual proc
<2> maybe poke around in your bios

<0> tjat
<0> that's how mine shows up
<0> very similar to that
<3> well, it should show GENERIC.MP, at least :)
<0> well ya, with the other kernel obviously
<3> maybe boot something else and make sure it's really dual-core, then check the bios
<2> yeah go see if the hardware is dual core
<2> dhartmei speaks sense as usual
<0> ya, i've got a gentoo disk that i could try
<0> :)

<0> that's actually what i meant to post
<2> that url is far too long
<3> ah, yes, if the cpu0 line states 'Dual Core', but there is no cpu1, there's something wrong
<3> never had one, just dual/quad cpus
<0> ok, that's what i figured
<3> they're rather new, introduced last year, right?
<0> ya
<2> i'm guessing this is another piece of hardware to go in the "i wish i could afford" category
<3> make -j 16 can be impressive, but for production i've never seen it pay off :)
<0> it's for a mail server. just needed to upgrade to something with some more horsepower for spam******in
<3> maybe for a cpu-bound apache server
<3> spam******in is single-process perl, no?
<3> what's the second cpu going to do there? :)
<2> he's going to take it out and post it to me
<2> sorry
<3> half a dual-core? :)
<2> heh
<0> good point. so i guess it won't really matter
<3> the non-smp kernel might actually be faster :)
<0> really?
<3> sure, less locking overhead
<3> and, sadly, i386 (32-bit, non amd64) mode might even beat that
<0> ok. this machine is supposed to replace an AMD Athalon XP 2800. So with it running just running single core 1.82Ghz will it outperform that machine?
<0> i know that you can't really compare Ghz these days
<0> but as long as I can get more performance on this machine than the other one i'll be happy
<3> possibly. for spam***issin-heavy mail-servers, the disks (scsi) will make much more of a difference
<0> right, cuz it's having to access the disk non-stop
<3> i ***ume you already run it in daemon mode :)
<0> ya
<3> high-performance programming in perl, eh? :)
<0> :)
<0> ok, well thanks a lot! i guess i'll just have to compare some benchmarks and see how it goes
<4> hello is the atheros chipset 5005gs supported ?
<2> hahah
<4> i purchased a pcmcia card and worked very extrange because it takes the ip from the access point dhcp server but before it doesn't run no ping internal / internet network
<2> _langly_, look at the HCL
<2> _langly_, www.openbsd.org
<4> i looked and can say that on freebsd gets recognized as a atheros 5212
<4> but it takes me to the situation explained
<4> so very extrange
<4> i can donate 1 card if some developer wants to do testing and porting this card to the OS :)
<4> my 17 to the project :D
<3> Reyk Floeter <reyk@openbsd.org> did ath(4) in openbsd, ask him :)
<4> ok dhartmei thanks
<4> i'm meditating to buy a zaurus c3200 is easy to install openbsd on it?
<3> same as c3000, i ***ume. compared to i386 it's odd and brittle, but it's documented
<4> ok i'm going to sleep dhartmei thanks for anwering all the questions :)
<4> good night :)
<5> Hi
<5> I am having problems with ftp connections to some servers through a firewall running openbsd-3.9 and ftp-proxy with rdr rules to redirect tcp traffic to port 8021(listening port for ftp-proxy)
<1> what kinds of problems?
<5> I see server timeout alot in the logs
<5> and the connection never gets established
<1> does it work if ftp-proxy is off?
<1> whoa
<5> I found the problem
<5> I was trying to restrict the source port to be the 8021 listening but that is oxy-moron since the listen port and source port can't be the same
<6> while your installing opebsd and you get the message available didks are: wd0 wd1
<6> is there anyway to tell which disk is which (by capacity or rpm)
<7> users
<7> HELP
<8> y0
<9> an issue i try to resolve for months: mplayer on my desktop goes unexpectedly on mute after a while - did someone experienced this until now ?
<9> not much on the web about his behaviour
<9> the fact is that mixerctl settings are moved to mute, but i can't figure who is doing this and how to do them read-only
<10> anyone here have a synaptics touchpad? how do you turn off tap clicking?
