Greetings, out of fun and to investigate claims about alleged bgfsck resource hogging (which I could not reproduce) posted to news:de.comp.os.unix.bsd, I pressed the reset button on a live FreeBSD 5-STABLE system. Upon reboot, fsck -p complained about an unexpected softupdates inconsistency on the / file system and put me into single user mode, the manual fsck / then asked me to agree to increasing a link count from 21 to 22 (and later to fix the summary, which I consider a non-issue). A subsequent fsck -p / ended with no abnormality detected. Unfortunately, I haven...

Dear Samba team & other readers, I'm a satisfied user using Samba as a file server for Windows based networks and I'm primarily using FreeBSD for this purpose. When I started to use Samba about half a year ago, I was upset about the lousy performance but tried my best to search for that problem at myself. The machine at this time as a Pentium/200 PC with some SCSI harddisks and 64

...a portupgrade that when portupgrade did some cleaning a directory could not be deleted because it were not empty. However, it was empty. rm -rf didn't help either. Because I didn't know what to do I decided to boot. At system startup fsck was started which produced the message: unexpected softupdate inconsistency and also that some blocks could not be written to. At the end fsck said: filesystem still dirty and I should run fsck manually which I did but without any success. After that I rebooted from CD and did two backups of the filesystem using dump and tar. Both commands complained at the...

Here's a patch against 4.8-RELEASE kernel that allows disk writes on softupdates-enabled filesystems to be delayed for (theoretically) arbitrarily long periods of time. The motivation for such updating policy is surprisingly not purely suicidal - it can allow disks on laptops to spin down immediately after I/O operations and stay idle for longer periods of time, thus saving co...

That would be lame. I expected they fixed that behavior long ago.

The main action I took with gentoo was to compile everything from scratch for my pc hardware, limiting the use of X & kde using all the above mentioned software prevailingly in a simple console. Now in a partition of the same laptop I installed freebsd 5.4, set softupdates, dma=1, and the same pieces of software as those I had installed under linux using the ports, therefore, compiling everything for my pc hardware, but, owing to my poor knowledge of Freebsd I'm experiencing some problems. In a nutshell I prepared the following test files: 1) a ConTeXt file...

...did was mounting gjournaled partitions in ro mode (it warned me that they were not cleanly unmounted) and doing some backup. Then I removed gjournal (gjournal clear, tunefs -J disable) from journaled disks, ran fsck (few errors of type: PARTIALLY ALLOCATED INODE), and then I was able to turn on softupdates back and mount the fs in rw mode. I've double checked the disk's SMART results in case of hardware failure, but they were ok. My question is: what could cause such problem? Why only gjournaled fs are affected? Is there a solution?

Postfix <http://www.postfix.org> does a chattr +S on its spool directory when it is installed on Linux. This is what is written in the postfix startup script -- # # LINUX by default does not synchronously update directories - # that's dangerous for mail. # if [ -f /usr/bin/chattr ] then CHATTR="/usr/bin/chattr +S" else CHATTR=echo fi -- Is this still required on ext3 ?

...I've done this before many times, on this particular machine configure is failing with the error: no locking is available, running samba would be unsafe. I've googled and have seen this error, but no fixes. Any suggestions welcome. If it matters this is on a ufs2 filesystem with acls, and softupdates on it. It's also not mounted with any special mount options. Thanks. Dave.

...o be related to system load. It looks to me like a dangling pointer in softdep_update_inodeblock, but I am not very experienced in this area. The panics started recently when I was rewriting my firewall, so I suspected a bug in IPFW. The debug info below makes me think that the bug is related to softupdates. The panic is always a 'fatal trap 12'. The fault virtual address, fault code, code segment, processor eflags, and interupt mask is always the same. I am not sure about the pointers. Any suggestions? I can run more debug commands or whatever is helpful. Thanks in advance. Ben debugi...
