similar to: /bin/sh eats memory and CPU infinitely

Hi! It seems /bin/sh in 4.8-STABLE has problem with SIGCHLD processing. In short, it often fails to process it correctly, zombies float around, jobs are not marked as finished in jobtab[] that fills memory and takes much CPU to be processed. Run this one-liner using /bin/sh and see hundreds of zombies: #!/bin/sh while :; do : & done A kernel will halt this as soon as it reaches limits and

Hi! I'm trying to cross-compile 4.8-STABLE world to install it over NFS later. I have ./make.conf: # start of file CPUTYPE=i486 KERNCONF?=CONS MODULES_WITH_WORLD=true DESTDIR=/mnt/cons # end of file I run: dir=`pwd` make __MAKE_CONF=$dir/make.conf buildworld 2>&1 | tee $dir/bw.log It fails: ===> gnu/usr.bin/groff/contrib ===> gnu/usr.bin/groff/contrib/mm sh

Hi! May somebody look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/51132 ? It looks like ipfw1 has serious bug in the ruleset processing. Eugene Grosbein

Hi! Revisions 1.38.2.17/1.38.2.18 of src/sys/pci/if_rl.c (and corresponding 1.14.2.6 of src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h) broke rl(4) at least for D-Link DFE 530TX+ 10/100BaseTX. I've sent PR an hour ago but still did not get its number. Meantime I've rolled back these revisions, rebuilt kernel and my NICs work again. Eugene Grosbein

Hi! I've just tried to build NanoBSD from 7.0-STABLE sources with MODULES_WITH_WORLD knob enabled and it failed. Note that NanoBSD uses make -j3 by default and I have dualcore system. ===> sys/modules/nfslockd (depend) @ -> /usr/local/src/sys machine -> /usr/local/src/sys/i386/include echo "#define INET6 1" > opt_inet6.h awk -f @/tools/vnode_if.awk @/kern/vnode_if.src

Hi! I've got FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE/i386 server that can be reliably panicked using just 'squid -k rotatelog' command. It seems the system suffers from the problem described here: http://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2010090156 I could not find any FreeBSD Security Advisory containing a fix. My server has 4G physical RAM (about 3.2G available) and runs squid (about 110M VSS) with 500

Hi! I'm trying to use freebsd-update for first time. I have 9.0-RELEASE installed without sources and I have read Handbook chapter and manual page for freebsd-update. "freebsd-update -r 9.1-RC3 upgrade" downloaded updates, its "install" command installed kernel and after reboot second "install" invocation installed binaries but not source tree that is needed to

Hi! The same problem occures if 6.1-PRERELEASE kernel panic occures while configuration partition of NanoBSD is being updated (so, mounted read-write). This problem has occured now, I've got kernel panic while find(1) walked file system and the system become frozen after panic, it did not reboot. Please take a look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/93381 Eugene Grosbein

Hi! vnconfig(8) sometimes return incorrect exit status, I've filled a PR http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/45754 last year but nobody took it. It's hard to write safe scripts when system utility does not signal an error with exit status. Please, look at PR. It contains a patch. Eugene Grosbein

Hi! I fully understand and second efforts on educating people how to configure BIND to be stong to attacks and keep them from using "query-source address" with "port" option but how about binding named to particular IP address when host has many of them? Using "query-source address" without "port" is the only solution (not speaking of jails here) and safe

Hi, Just update my 8.x kernel sources last weekend, and newly built kernel did not boot for me: link_elf: symbol mem_range_softc undefined KLD file acpi.ko - could not finalize loading kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled This is stripped down kernel with everything possible loaded from modules. Any ideas? Did not see any warnings in UPDATING... ./danfe

Hello, I have a problem with loader. I recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting. Here is what I do: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLACK make installkernel KERNCONF=BLACK At this point I can reboot and all is good. After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make
