Hi, give me some tips please, first of all, first screen: ============================================= *** The directory specified for the temporary root environment, /var/tmp/temproot, exists. This can be a security risk if untrusted users have access to the system. Use 'd' to delete the old /var/tmp/temproot and continue Use 't' to select a new temporary root

Hello peoples, mergemaster fails saying freebsd.cf does not exist when building temproot. Have I missed something here?

Question... I do alot of stable upgrades and as a result I spend alot of time with mergemaster. My changes in etc are minimal, so I rather wipe out my existing /etc (except for machine specific files like fstab, and so on) and have mergemaster install everything from /usr/src/etc. This way I don't have to spend time going through all the diffs. I have found that there is no quick and

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

Hi, On an 8.2 box, I run freebsd-update -r 8.3-RELEASE upgrade I am getting hundreds of files with "conflicts" like: <<<<<<< current version # $FreeBSD: src/etc/auth.conf,v 1.6.32.1.4.1 2010/06/14 02:09:06 kensmith Exp $ ======= # $FreeBSD: src/etc/auth.conf,v 1.6.32.1.8.1 2012/03/03 06:15:13 kensmith Exp $ >>>>>>> 8.3-RELEASE ... which is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There has been a lot of discussion on these two mailing lists about the upcoming EoL of FreeBSD 4.x which I mentioned in my email entitled "HEADS UP: FreeBSD 5.3, 5.4, 6.0 EoLs coming soon". Now that everybody (hopefully) has had their say, I'd like to offer some background and explanation. The concept of "security branches"

Yeah, I don't have luck with mergemaster, may be after another 100 times I run it I will educate myself to properly use it. So, would '-i' option help me to automate the process? Best Regards, Anton

I am trying to build FreeBSD update, STABLE branch, and buildkernel apparently snagged on ndis, which I don't want to do without. According to "man ndis", I need in kernel config options NDISAPI device ndis device wlan which I have: device wlan # 802.11 support options NDISAPI # This is in the hope of enabling Hiro USB wireless adapter device

running 9.1-STABLE r247548 updating to 9.1-STABLE r248381 When updating to the new version in a zfs beadm environment, mergemaster -D /mnt fails with install: illegal option -- l install (1) in the new version has an added -l switch which is used in bsd.own.mk which in turn is used by mergemaster. Making mergemaster use the new install(1) fixes the problem. John Theus TheUsGroup.com

Well, 4 days after previous upgrade i cvs'ed RELENG_4 from local cvs tree (updated hourly), made buildworld buildkernel installkernel, rebooted into single user, made installworld and mergemaster. Mergemaster updated newsyslog.conf, syslogd.conf, ok, rebooted... Wow... All scripts from /usr/local/etc/rc.d refused to load. And the system is in "Amnesiac" mode Attempt to run

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

I sent a note about this a couple of weeks ago, but have not heard anything. I'm really getting a bit desperate. I have a system that I am trying to upgrade from 8.2 to 9.0. I have built it and installed the kernel, but it fails to boot. The boot freezes after probing for my hard drives during the probe of the CDROM. It just sits there, seemingly forever, though I have never waited longer

I sent this to freebsd-questions earlier via the newsgroup, but I just found out today that the list-to-news gateway has been down for half a month now. Any idea when it's going back up? Who was hosting that service anyway? And now for the question.. I have a test server that is being used to test a 4.4-REL to 4.8-STABLE upgrade, and I've found the system will no longer boot unless I

Hi, after updating my freebsd amd64 box from 9.1 (r250841) to 9.2-RC (r254276) virtualbox crashes the machine. Seconds after starting VBOX the screen freezes and then reboots (probably a trap, cannot see it, as screen is in graphics mode). The kernel modules of vbox have been recompiled. Going back to 9.1 kernel and matching vbox modules works. In both cases VBOX 4.2.16 is used. cheers, Thomas

Currently I have a 'master' STABLE box which nfs exports src and obj to all my STABLE 'clients' and a 'master' CURRENT box nfs exporting src and obj to my CURRENT 'clients'. Would it be possible to eliminate one of the 'master' boxes ? IE, could a STABLE box build and host CURRENT (via alternate src and obj) or could CURRENT box build and host STABLE (via

I noticed that there were quite a few files with version ids of '$FreeBSD$' when I ran mergemaster after an install of 4.8R. This isn't right is it? What are the consequences of installing over your files with unexpanded version ids? I would like to build a release(make release) and want to know if I can continue or if this is going to be a problem for future

Hello, I have a RELENG_6/AMD64 with an AMD64X2 cpu, 1GB of memory, 512MB swap. I remarked that when I run 2 simulation program [1], sometimes, one of them run one or several of its threads [2] very slowly, but sometimes, it doesn't occur. I remarked that is doesn't depend on SMP/UP, ULE/4BSD, i386/AMD64. It seems to occur also with the kernel stress test under the same conditions (all
