I need to build up a few servers and routers, and am wondering how FreeBSD 9.1 is shaping up. Will it be likely to be more stable and robust than 9.0-RELEASE? Are there issues that will have to wait until 9.2-RELEASE to be fixed? Opinions welcome. --Brett Glass

I've been deploying FreeBSD 9 without issue on a number of near-identical servers for a client, but have run into an interesting annoyance when I hit the two DB servers. These DB servers have an LSI 3ware 9750-8i (running a 6 disk RAID 10 in a single 3TB virtual volume) which puts them apart from the other two servers in this cluster (which don't show either issue I am about to

I have a GPT formatted disk where I recently expanded the size of a partition. I used "gpart resize -i 6 ada1" first to expand the partition to use the remaining free space and then growfs to modify the FFS file system to use the full partition. This was all done in single-user mode, of course, but when I enter "exit" to bring the system up, it failed to mount /usr. This was

Hi, colleagues! Something strange happens with a server. I am attempting to connect management interface of UPS with server via USB. In console I see a lot of errors: Mar? 7 13:42:04 xxx kernel: ugen2.2: <POWERCOM Co.,LTD HID UPS Battery> at usbus2 Mar? 7 13:42:05 xxx kernel: uhid0 on uhub6 Mar? 7 13:42:05 xxx kernel: uhid0: <POWERCOM Co.,LTD HID UPS Battery, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.02,

I have been experimenting with dirhash settings, and have scoured the internet for other peoples' experience with it. (I found the performance improvement in compiling has forestalled the need to add an SSD drive. ;-) I believe that increasing the following values by 10 would benefit most FreeBSD users without disadvantage. vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem: 2097152 to 20971520

Andre, Are you going to have time to MFC things from -current for auto-tuning -stable before 9.2? I fear (maybe unnecessarily?) that we are about to ship yet another release that can't do basic 10gigE when sufficient memory exists. If you don't have time, then let me know and I'll see what I can do. -- Alfred Perlstein VP Software Engineering, iXsystems

I've now seen this on two different VMs on two different ESXi servers (Xeon based hosts but different hardware otherwise and at different facilities): Everything runs fine for weeks then (seemingly) suddenly/randomly the clock STOPS. In the first case I saw a jump backwards of about 15 minutes (and then a 'freeze' of the clock). The second time just 'time standing

Two machines (NFS Server: running ZFS / Client: disk-less), both are running FreeBSD r253506. The NFS client starts to deadlock processes within a few hours. It usually gets worse from there on. The processes stay in "D" state. I haven't been able to reproduce it when I want it to happen. I only have to wait a few hours until the deadlocks occur when traffic to the client machine
