Reporting Problems

  • If the problem is fatal to non-developers (e.g., any of the major daemons being down SMTP, HTTP, etc) send a note to [email protected], which will act upon it as quickly as possible. If you don't get a response within 10-15 minutes, as a backup call Brian Behlendorf via cell phone, which any ASF member can get for you.

  • If the problem is fatal only to developers (e.g., CVS commits are hosed, ssh access is screwy) please send a note to [email protected]. If it doesn't require root to fix, ideally someone can then leap in and fix it, with those with root ultimately responsible for fixing the problem.

Customizations to apache.org beyond a stock FreeBSD 4.2 installation

  • Using "vnode" memory filesystem proposed by Tony Finch. this is now in /etc/rc.local: vnconfig -e -s labels,reserve -S 200m vn0 disklabel -r -w vn0 auto newfs -i 1024 /dev/vn0c mount /dev/vn0c /tmp chmod a+w /tmp chmod +t /tmp The -i 1024 to newfs is important, as cvs likes to create a lot of small files.

  • Put "vfs.vmiodirenable=1" into /etc/rc.sysctl as a speed tweak.

  • Put "kern.timecounter.method=1" into /etc/rc.sysctl to address bind problem.

  • Make sure that fxp0 is set to "100baseTX <full-duplex>" by using "media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" in the call to ifconfig.

much much more to come, I just needed a common place to start collecting anecdotal data.
