Creating a FLAN - obi

Yes, this works and been doing it for years, first with vtun, now with openvpn. I've got two sites and a couple of roaming laptops glued together like that.

The downsides are:

because everything is bridged, adding redundant paths to reduce hops/latency doesn't really help. STP will elect one path and that's it - it won't try to find the shortest path or anything. If you're only wiring two nodes together of course this doesn't matter.
it's more of a pain to block out traffic (like dhcp requests from the other side) - ebtables works, but has some rough edges.

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed explanations!

It is a really strange feeling...

Cheers, Julien

Hello Julien !

You're right, lm means 'long mode', so you're machine is an amd64 too! Welcome to my life!

IA64 are Itanium processors, not Pentium, and are real 64 bits processor AFAIK.

If you have 'lm' flag, it means that you have support fort 64 bits instructions, like AMD processors have.

"amd64" arch is the name of the arch, but it also support em64t processor like we have. Take a look on: http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/

I am not sure which improvement it can gives to you on a desktop machine, especially that you may have problem with something like proprietary Flash player (it does not exists for other arch than i386). Anyway such limitation can be bypassed by using a i386 chroot (32 bit code (i386) is executable with amd64 architecture).

If you want to know why it's better take a look : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 or http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64 (french)

Cheers.

Hi,

Just wondering how what you think is a Pentium 4 can be and amd64? I have just checked my cpuinfo and discovered the same thing on my main machine!

lm means "long mode", ie. 64 bits instructions support, am I right? But how do you know it is amd64 (which I would have considered to be only for AMD processors), and not IA64?

I think I have understood that amd64 is also for EM64T processors. EM64T processors are the newer 64bits architecture from Intel, thus I can guess that any recent processor is amd64 and not EM64T...

I am quite lost with that.

What are the improvements in such cases? Do you think it is really worth "reinstalling" a desktop machine?

Cheers, Julien

Upgrading to Xen 3... aborted :( - jd

jd — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 17:22:11 +0000

Yes, finally it was a problem with udev that I upgraded from unstable version.

The slowness problem was resolved by adding acpi=off to xen command line boot parameter

Did you manage to work it out ? I get exactly the same problem with "testing".

Oh no, that was not so simple.

Actually, my dom0 was VERY slow, and I still don't know why.

And then, I got this error many times:

vif could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

My domU were working, but not the NICs.

If you are running into the dreaded problem where the console hangs on boot, here is a quick fix. In /etc/inittab, replace `tty1' with `console' as below.

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 console

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

You will lose job control in console (like ctrl-z, ctrl-c, etc), but as long as you ssh in you'll be fine.

Cheers,

If you have friends who destroy good coke and whisky with each other, you should replace them too.

(Yeah, and the model M is a godsend. Indestructible.)
