similar to: Problem with dump stalling

I've been playing around with snapshots lately but I've got a problem on one of my servers running 7-STABLE amd64: FreeBSD paladin 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #8: Mon Nov 10 20:49:51 GMT 2008 tdb@paladin:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PALADIN amd64 I run the mksnap_ffs command to take the snapshot and some time later the system completely freezes up: paladin# cd /u2/.snap/ paladin#

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

During installworld I get: cat /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/man/ncurses.3x > ncurses.3 sh /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/man/MKterminfo.sh /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/man/terminfo.head /usr/src/lib/ncurses/ncurses/../../../contrib/ncurses/include/Caps

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

Hello! My attempt to build openoffice.org-3 seems to be hanging. Pressing Ctrl-T produces: load: 0.11 cmd: tcsh 79759 [sleeping without queue] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 0k (tcsh is used by OOo's build-script). What is this "sleeping without queue" state, and why is process in it for so long? This is an 4-CPU amd64 system with 4Gb of RAM. Only 16% of the swap is currently in use and

Hi I'm having a problem with ipfw, I think. For some reason it denies packets randomly for example: PING 196.14.239.2 (196.14.239.2): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied 64 bytes from 196.14.239.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.258 ms 64 bytes from 196.14.239.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.233 ms 64 bytes from 196.14.239.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=63

Colleagues, 3 of 4 times this machine failed to boot, panicing somewhere in late kernel initialization phase (before /sbin/init is executed) I have serial console and KDB enabled, so can do experiments. Last two crashes: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor read data, page not present instruction pointer =

Hi, could anyone give recommendations (or share experience) regarding using ZFS: - FreeBSD 7-Stable (amd64 with 8GB RAM) + special tuning necessary (apart from increasing kernel memory to 1 or more GB for ZFS) - Samba 3.2 + ACLs possible directly under ZFS? + recommended compile options? - NFS - email (imap) - jails (I have seen some problems exist with using snaphots within

I'm getting the bus error mentioned in PR bin/124353 and I need a bit more detail on how to apply the patch. Right now I'm getting the following error when I try to do a make on cvsup-without-gui: Fatal Error: bad version stamps: SupTCP.m3 I put the changes in the /usr/local/lib/m3/pkg/m3core/src/unix/freebsd-4.amd64/Unix.i3 file I created the file

This is a fairly standard and old machine with 2 COM ports. Recently (last Friday) I decided to update my RELENG_7 system and also to transition from sio to uart. This what I had before the upgrade: kernel: sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 kernel: sio0: type 16550A kernel: sio0: [FILTER] kernel: sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port

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

We have 10 SuperMicro PDSMi+ 5015M-MTs that are panic'ing every few days. This started shortly after upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Other than switching to a debugging kernel, a little sysctl tuning, and patching with freebsd-update, they are stock. The debugging kernel was built from source that is also being patched with freebsd-update. These systems are

Hello list I have a shutdown problem. I have a machine with gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R motherboard. Integrated network card is Realtek 8111B. I can not wake the computer after I shutdown it from FreeBSD. It is a dualboot system - windows xp and freebsd. If I shutdown the computer from windows - later I can wake it up with magic packet. Even if i shutdown the machine on the boot menu with the power

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

Hello, freebsd-stable. Does somebody use some software RAID5 on FreeBSD in real production system? I want to build storage server for my home: RAW photos, multi-layer PhotoShop files and FLAC-encoded music consume a lot of space, and they should be availible both from desktop & notebook. Also, all photo-content is unique, so I need some insuranse from single HDD crash. I understand,

I am having problems with silent data corruption on (some) drives connected to an MCP55 SATA controller. I have two servers, both running RELENG_7_0/amd64. One has the 570 Ultra chipset, the other has 570 SLI. Both chipsets have the MCP55 SATA controller. The server with 570 Ultra chipset has a bunch of older 250GB SATA-150 drives hooked up to the MCP55 controller and it is working just fine.
