Hi all, I have had this problem since day 1 on my new server. It has run since November 15th 2008, and serve approx. 10 GB worth of web traffic per month for the main site and then some 40 domains with mail and small web pages. (hence - it's NOT that busy yet) I started with 7.1-RELEASE-pX since I didn't have problems straight off - but it didn't last long. After a few days of

Hi, hackers : Yesterday night and this morning, I cvsup my system to latest STABLE branch source (RELENG_4). All make buildworld, buildkernel, and installkernel procedure was completed with no error. But when I boot into single user mode and try to make installworld, I always got " touch: not found " error. Does anyone encounter this situation ? I have no idea about that. :-( Here is

Hello, I am having a problem with a new server running FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE. Once every two days or so, it reboots itself.. there is no exact time of the day it reboots.. It rebooted itself at 4:25 PM EDT on 9/25, and 3:05 AM EDT on 9/29 (today). I thought it's the bad memory or some sort, so I've been running memtest today and memtest reports no sign of trouble with the memory...

If you start to experience problems with ata devices, please direct your report this way. Thanks -lq

Hello... In regards to http://www.freebsd.org/security/ , from what I understand the FreeBSD 4.x branch is generally winding down in favor of the 5.x/6.x branches. It would be nice to know ahead of time if 4.11 will also be an extended release, or if that would fall to 4.12. For those of running 4.8 (expiring about the same time as 4.11 is released) we would be in a better position to know

Hi all, I have some problems with my gvinum setup after the system panic'ed. Afterwards the system fails finding the plexes to the subdisks (or at least that is what I can understand after having searched the gvinum source code for the error string in the DMESG log..) The machine is an IBM Netfinity 5000 and the internal HW self tests does not find any errors in the hw. Luckily my root is

Dear Sirs. It seems to me a never ending story. We run a box with a TYAN Thunder 2500 Dual SMP mainboard, 2GB ECC Tyan certified memory, AMI Enterprise 1600 RAID adapter and additional Intel 1000/Pro server type (64 bit) GBit LAN NIC. With FreeBSD 4.8 this was stable, but to achive this state was really hard! It is a story similar to that what happend when we changed towards FreeBSD

Hello, I am attempting to get by broadcom wifi card up and running, am sick of trying to get ndis working, and am attempting to use the bwi driver (originating in dragonflyBSD). I'm hoping others here have tried to do the same and have some pointers. I'm using 7.1-RELEASE (system/source are in-sync) and my card is a BCM94306MP. My dmesg is posted below. Bwi(4) is installed and it

The FreeBSD Security Officer would normally be sending out this email, but he's a bit busy right now and it is clear from reactions to FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp that many people are unaware of the current status of the RELENG_5_1 branch, so I'm going to send out this reminder myself. The branches supported by the FreeBSD Security Officer have been updated to reflect

Hello! Has anyone gotten 4.9R to recognize the "ServerWorks CSB6" ATA controller on a Dell 600SC? How about installing 5.2R on a 600SC? 5.2R recognizes the said controller, but it corrupts data. -- eof

Yesterday I begin a couple of update to the latest 4.8-STABLE. After that the two boxes continues to go in panics as soon as Apache (1.3 from the ports, also freshly recompiled, 2.0.x seems NOT to hang) starts. I don't know if it is related to the other thread : "Kernel core dump in recent 4.8-STABLE" but it is easily reproducible by cvsupping to a today -STABLE and then running

Hello everybody Unfortunately my problem still doesn't have any solution. But I have an interesting observation. The gateway freezes very quickly, if torrent client programs are running on workstations. I assume the cause of the problem consists in many number of TCP/IP connections that torrent client establishes. Any ideas? Maybe I can tune somehow a TCP/IP via kernel, sysctl or pf settings?

Hi, Can someone please help me with this? I have just upgraded from 4.7 to 4.8-STABLE and this is what I am getting when I try a tape backup. Please CC as I am not in the list. It was working well before the upgrade (dump -0ua -f - / | gzip -c -9 | dd of=/dev/nsa0). Thank you, Lefteris Tsintjelis Jul 3 22:55:18 ene /kernel:

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.
