Re: USB disks dropping off-line
I've had what may be the same problem for years, with a USB3 disk, on both 10-stable and 12.0-release. I've never found a cause, though power gitches might be responsible. As a pragmatic fix I have the backup disk as a zpool and run a daemon that simply does a zpool clear if it finds the pool unhealthy during the backup. That lets the backup complete every time - the pool is set to wait on error, so having the daemon check once a minute works with minuscule overhead.

Re: setting up a CVSup repository
This can be done, as another poster has indicated. But it may be too much effort for what you want to accomplish. There are multiple ways to administer a collection of FreeBSD systems without having each one do its own cvsup: 1. As you asked, set up your own cvsup mirror. It seems to me that this is the way to go only if the systems that will be using it are not under your direct supervision. 2. Do cvsup of the cvs archive on one machine, then have others do their own remote CVS checkouts from the archive on that. This is simpler in some ways on the server, and really no harder on the clients. It allows you to build current and stable and cpu flavors, as you wish. 3. cvsup on one machine, build on that, and have all the others NFS mount /usr/src, /usr/obj and /usr/ports. This has the feature that you control which version is in use and saves a lot of time on all the client machines. It is clearly the way to go if all the machines are under your supervision and you're willing to build stuff that will run on all your cputypes - the optimizations available for each type are really minor within the x86 family so the loss of the last inch of performance is worth the generality, imho. I build separate kernels for each x86 flavor but a common world. I actually do #2 but only do the checkout on the local machine and build there.

When I remove the option pkg_add no longer reports broken pipes. When gunzip'ing piped to tar, and tar exits early due to the option, gunzip properly gets a 'gzip: stdout: Broken pipe' error. Maybe 'tar' was changed recently, maybe 'gunzip' was changed recently, I don't know. But it isn't a kernel problem. The kernel is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. A simple "cvs diff" between RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE and RELENG_4 reveals, that gzip has not changed at all, while tar has only grown bzip2 support. As Kent suggests, ssh might be the problem. To verify, I have just logged in through telnet and done a "pkg_add gmake-3.79.1.tgz". And yes indeed, the broken pipe message disappears. So the OpenSSH 2.3.0 seems to be causing the problem.

Re: Mozilla build failure, 4-stable
Yes I understand the significance of /usr/obj, but not why, in detail, the port builds fail. In any case, if there are some specific directories that cause problems, perhaps bsd.port.mk should check for them and complain, rather than letting the build fail with baffling errors.

Re: could netscape hose my dialup modem traffic?
I have seen some weird paging behavior with netscape (4.76) on 4.2 (beta, then stable as of 11/29). Sometimes netscape and X get into a fight over memory, with both seeming to be largely non-resident although there is free memory. I can usually provoke this by opening an extra window in jsp (for example by clicking on the "vote" box on www.cnn.com). Quitting netscape makes the symptom go away, in that I can restart netscape without paging. This is on an smp P6/200 with 64 MB. I'm not running ppp. When you get into the syndrome, run top and see if you're doing a lot to swap with netscape largely non-resident.

The problem is that occasionally my dialup thru-put drops to 5 or 10bps. Trying to get anything done via telecommuting is virtually impossible. One thing I thought it might be is the ``stray irq 7'' stderr messages... nope, don't think so. My latest clue was having 3 netscapes instantiated. Out of the blue, my response went from normal to rotten. To get things back to normal there was only one rational move: shutdown -r. I'm thinking that this might be a system problem rathen than one with ppp. netscape and DNS? (?) I've seen one similar posting like this on -questions, but saw no response.
