Hi! Today I switched over to devfs. I'm on Debian unstable, installed devfsd, installed a kernel with devfs support and "devfs mount on boot". Reboot, devfs is being used. All over a sudden, dmesg reports: Linux version 2.4.21-ac1 (root@hummus) (gcc version 3.3 (Debian)) #1 Sun Jun 15 19:06:13 CEST 2003 ... kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted

Hello, on 9.1-R, I highly appreciate the new jail(8) and jail.conf capabilities. Thanks for that extension! But I have one problem: If I want to stop a jail with 'jaill -r jailname', I get "umount: unmount of /.jail.jailname failed: Device busy" It seems to me that the order of fstab.jailname entries are not reverted by jail(8) when shutting down/umounting. My C skills

Hi, I am going to merge latest batch of the nullfs improvements into stable/9. This will bring up significant performance enchancements due to use of the shared locks for lookups if the lower layer supports it, much better caching on the nullfs layer, and proper handling of the text segments on the nullfs. Also, it should improve the error recovery and some corner cases with locking.

Hi all, I am looking at securing a web server using the FreeBSD MAC Framework. To make things clear I will call the hosted users "web users". Those are the issues I am dealing with: ** Network Security ** - Web users shouldn't be able to connect to reserved local ports apart from 25(smtp); 80(http); 443(https) and 3306(MySQL) Solution: run the web server and web users shell in

Occasionally stopping amd freezes my system. It's a rare occurrence, and I haven't found a reliable way to reproduce it. It's also a real freeze, so there's no way to get into the debugger or grab a core dump. I only can perform the 4 seconds hard shutdown to revive the system. I run amd through sysutils/automounter, which is a scripting solution that generates an amd.map file

Hi, my FreeBSD-9/stable machine (FreeBSD freebsd-tower.goebo.site 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #2 r241044M: Sat Sep 29 12:52:01 CEST 2012 lbo@freebsd-tower.goebo.site:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386) crashes reproducibly when rsync-ing files to an NFSv4 share on the FreeBSD machine. The crash makes the system reboot. The crash creates files in /var/crash which may be obtained

Hello, while playing with new jail features, I recognized that manually umounting doesn't work as I'd expect. After jail has been destroyed, the following mountpoint is active: /dev/gpt/jailname1ROOT on /.jail.jailname1 (ufs, local, read-only) There was var mounted to /.jail.jailname1/var but that sucessfully umounted. 'fstat' also shows no open files in /.jail.jailname1 But

Hi, I am trying to boot from an external USB hard drive (partition 1: Windows, partition 2: primary/bootable ext3).

I have installed fuse-davfs2-1.2.2-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm but mount -t davfs http://URL /mnt/dav gets /sbin/mount.davfs: group davfs2 does not exist what did I miss in the install???

I read this (http://www.petur.eu/blog/?p=459) blog post today. It's about that a remote user with root privilegs to a FreeBSD jail & user privileges to the jails host machine can obtain root privileges on the host machine. Can someone confirm if this bugg/exploit works?
