Hello! Is anybody having stability problems with if_re under FreeBSD 6.3-stable? I know about PR kern/118719[1] but it doesn't look like the problem I'm having - at least my machine doesn't panic. My machine[2] runs FreeBSD 6.3-stable / amd64: root@kg-vm# uname -a FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #1: Sun Jan 27 02:10:15 CET 2008

There is an error in the chmod(1) man page. tingo at kg-v2$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.3-STABLE FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #6: Fri Apr 27 23:50:55 CEST 2012 root at kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 tingo at kg-v2$ apropos ^sticky sticky(7) - sticky text and append-only directories tingo at kg-v2$ man 1 chmod | grep sticky 1000 (the sticky bit).

1. I have a realtek network card and am using a cable modem router. Does anyone know if fixes for problems with these (see below) have been backported from HEAD to RELENG_7? 2. Is this a good time to upgrade to RELENG_7? 3. I read a post last week that advised that 7.1 is a long way off. Appreciate any advice on use of ULE 3.0 and ZFS prior to 7.1 and a comment on what is holding up 7.1. Thanks

Hi, Is there any reason why uchcom[1] hasn't been MFC'ed to RELENG_7 yet? I see discussion[2] about this subject as far back as around 7.0-release, but I can't find any uchcom.c files in my src, not even for latest RELENG_7.

With FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, I'm finding significant packet loss (sometimes 85%). If I insert an Intel nic (fxp), there is nil packet loss with similar tests (ping -c 100). re0: <RealTek 8168/8111B PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xf9fff000-0xf9ffffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci1 I have seen a thread on current mentioning similar problems:

Googling didn't help me. The machine runs FreeBSD

Hi, Somehow[TM] an installation of 4.11 to ad0s3 managed to wipe out my existing disklabel for 7.0 on ad0s4. I now need to recover the disklabel to get my system to boot! There were three labels - ad0s4a: UFS, exact size unknown. Is it possible to infer this from the UFS partition size? I can mount this already, as I simply wrote an 'a' label of maximum size to the disklabel - ad0s4b:

Hello, when testing FreeBSD-7.1-BETA i discovered that the floppy disk controller doesn't work correctly. Trying to format a floppy (perhaps with bad blocks) i get: Processing fdformat: ioctl(FD_FORM): Device not configured instead of the normal E letter. I then checked the same problem is present on FreeBSD-6.3 and it has been reported by Beech Rintoul (*) in 2006! Of course the floppy disk

Hi I just did a system update and after I've rebooted it doesn't boot up any more. All I'm getting is a blank screen with a curser blinking at the top left corner of the screen. This system was running 7.0-STABLE Any ideas as to how I can get it back up? Regards Reinhold

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

Hi there, System is FreeBSD 4.9 Stable Had a problem during 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

-----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".

Hi, As a next question to my building this server. I'm nogt able to get a full verbose dmesg. Probably because the kernelbuffer for it is too small. I know there used to be a kernel option to increase it. But I can not find it with the setting in NOTES or any other place I looked.... Is it still there? Thanx, --WjW
