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, I just installed FreeBSD 9.0-release / amd64 on a new machine (Acer Aspire X1470). I installed from a usb memory stick (the default amd64 image), which I booted by pressing "F12" and selecting it from the boot menu on the machine. I installed on a SSD (which replaced the hard drive originally in the machine), using the default scheme for 9.0 (GPT). The installation was painless (many

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

Hello, I've got a (P)ATA disk in a special frame. The disk itself supports UDMA-100 (and has an 80-ribbon cable), but the frame isn't compatible with that. By default, FreeBSD negotiates UDMA-100, and the console starts to fill with ICRC errors. In the past, I used a patch to ata-all.c that enabled the following entry in loader.conf to force the disk to UDMA-33, so it worked fine:

Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 on an IBM x3550 M3 server. Installation went smoothly, RAID controller and network cards were successfully recognised. But, after the installation, the server fails to boot from disk. There were some posts, about two years ago, in this list implying that the problem lies in UEFI but I couldn't find any clear solution. Any suggestions would

Hello, I'm building a new system for a friend and I bought a Pioneer DVD-120s drive for him because it was a newer version of the drive I use (DVD-116) and my friend uses (DVD-106s) with FreeBSD. The problem is that FreeBSD cannot probe the drive for some reason. I've tried twiddling the ATAPI_DMA bit, rescanned the drive, and toyed with the cable, but nothing seems to work. The

Hello. I recently upgraded to 9.1-RC3, everything went fine, however the / partition its about to get full. Im really new to FreeBSD so I don?t know what files can be deleted safely. # find -x / -size +10000 -exec du -h {} \; 16M /boot/kernel/kernel 60M /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols 6.7M /boot/kernel/if_ath.ko.symbols 6.4M /boot/kernel/vxge.ko.symbols 9.4M

I will shortly spend a bit of time tracking down the breakage more closely, but my 9-Stable system of June 22 runs fine. After an update on about July 10, I noted that it would hang after Xorg was started, but usually worked. After an upgrade to July 18, my system could no longer start Gnome. It would start Xorg and Gnome would start normally, getting many apps started, but about 10 seconds after

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

I'm trying to install 4.8 from cdrom. I get to the kernel config menu, select the first option, install without configuring a kernel, and the boot process hangs accessing the cdrom. ad0 (the hard drive) is recognized fine. The cdrom does: acd0: MODE_SENSE_BIG command timeout - resetting ata1: resetting devices .. done over and over. Finally I get to the screen "Probing devices, please

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

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

These are new boxes. http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5015/SYS-5015B-MT.cfm core 2 Q6600 CPU 8Gb 667 RAM Boxes were memtested from Fri-Mon okay. 6.3-RELEASE (amd64) installs fine. Build cycle okay. Running (no load) for a week or so. However, when I try to configure gmirror they hang on boot. After some fiddling it appears issuing #kldload geom_mirror hangs the boxes very hard.

A STABLE (not updated since 12/13/02) system shows very strange behavior for devices with a minor mode greater than 256. tcpdump does not work reliably and ls is, uh, "strange", using hex for the minor mode. crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 252 Apr 11 14:29 bpf252 crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 253 Apr 11 14:29 bpf253 crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 254 Apr 11 14:29 bpf254

Any progress here? Does anyone know if this will be fixed in 7.1 latest, or should we start looking for different backup solution (in this case I would suggest to remove dump from the source tree - having a backup tool that doesn't work is worse than having none). After upgrading we basically cannot backup our servers. Shouldn't this issue be on

It might sound stupid, but I'd like to know if there's any difference. Are those 3 line the same? WITH_KMS=YES WITH_KMS="YES" WITH_KMS=yes Best regards Zoran

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

I have a Lite-On 24102B burner on an Epox 7KXA (VIA 686A southbridge) together with a few SCSI disks. I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 4.5 to 4.7 then almost immediately to 4.8. I've had trouble with the burner since. With FreeBSD 4.5, I used "sysctl hw.atamodes=---,---,dma,---" to set the burner to DMA. Everything then worked fine. As far as I know it was using UDMA33.

Dear friends: I decided to go out and buy the latest issue of Linux Format with the FreeBSD 6 CD. I am very glad I did. FreeBSD is tough to install, but after spending several hours I finally succeeded in doing a perfect installation. ONE BIG PROBLEM: When I removed the CD and rebooted, I got into my Windows XP (I have two separate disks, one for Windows, one of FreeBSD). There was no way to get
