8.0 regression: consecutive panics (iwi / wlan / zfs ?)
Hallo, A few hours ago I experienced 3 consecutive panics on this freshly installed 8.0, the last panic just 28s into boot sequence. It seems to me that culprit could be iwi/wlan possibly with help from zfs or others. More details even with screen-shot of the last panic follow. I have used versions 5.3 to 6.4 on this laptop, the last one being the most stable and smooth. A few weeks ago I moved to 8.0 (fresh install) and since then I've been experiencing funny issues. Last night I was writing an email when I noticed my wi-fi link was gone. I checked /var/log/messages and saw the following: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN wlan0: link state changed to UP wlan0: link state changed to DOWN wlan0: link state changed to UP wlan0: link state changed to DOWN wlan0: link state changed to UP linux: pid 6189 (skype): syscall inotify_init not implemented ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default on i386 -- to enable, add vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0 to /boot/loader.conf.

ZFS filesystem version 13 ZFS storage pool version 13 While wifi weirdness did not impressed me, I was perplexed by ZFS messages. I checked kldstat and indeed ZFS was loaded. Note that I have not attached any ZFS storage devices nor I have ever configured ZFS on this laptop. And before I could investigate any further my laptop froze and then rebooted. After reboot I logged into X11 and was checking system logs while waiting for background fsck to finish. I noticed that wifi was screwed up, probably reset did not reinitialize it properly and the driver was at lost. And as soon as fsck finished the system suddenly rebooted. And it was getting worse. Next reboot did not even finish and the system panicked again. At least this time I could see a message and so I took a picture of it for your perusal: http://mato.gamato.org/freebsd/aw1n/2010-01-04_05-59-10_panic-8.0-iwi.jpg FreeBSD mb-aw1n-bsd 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009 r...@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Please note that this is just one of multiple issues I'm having since moving from 6.4 to 8.0 and now I'm even worrying about my data etc. :( What else would you need from me to investigate further please ?

The ZFS messages in question get printed when ZFS initialises (in your case, when the kernel module was loaded). How or why it got loaded is beyond me. In this case would help to post these kinds of kernel messages taken directly from /var/log/messages instead of from dmesg -- the file in question is handled by syslog and will have timestamps. I can't help with the rest of the problems mentioned, sorry. :-( -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

mounting ext3 for rw
Hi all! I prepare to make plug music server with usb connected hard drive, formated ext3, since the system is ubuntu 9.04 as default. My rips are back-uped on spare usb disk, formated as ufs. My idea is to copy files from ufs to ext3 drive, using freebsd. I would probably enconter inode problem, since modern linuces use inode as 256, but bsd uses it as 128. I could use knoppix and format is with -I 128 flag. In ports available is e2fsprogs package with some utilities that might help. I could also take another approach and use rsync to avoid all inode puzzles. What would you recommend as the most reliable? Mounting ext3 as ext2 poses the question of making it dirty and necessity to fsck it first on linux system. Also, I found some posts of ina- bility to have the job done this way on branch 7. I have 8.0 on the laptop I write this and (if memory serves me well) 7.1 on old desktop.

TIOCSTI possibly broken under 8.0 ?
TIOCSTI appears to be broken - the code attached at the bottom
works fine in 7.x but fails in 8.0. What the code is attempting to
do is to print a prompt for text input, along with an initial
value for that text which can be edited by the user. I am assuming
this is a bug, and not incorrect usage of TIOCSTI, but evven if not
it is still a regression compared to 7.x.
The reason I am intested in this is that this is the code which
is used by /usr/bin/mail to allow the headers to be edited in an
email, so this does break a very basic piece of the base system.
cheers,
-pete.

While I do not currently use ZFS, the wireless NIC I have been using most often for the last several months has been iwi0 on my laptop, on which I track stable/6, stable/7, stable/8, and head on a daily basis. While I have seen the interface bounce dwn up repeatedly, and it refuses to communicate with an Apple Airport AP (while working with a Linksys WAP11) under head (but the Airport is OK for stable/6 and stable/7; not sure about stable/8), it has been (at least) several weeks since my last panic, so I am inclined to suggest that iwi(4) and wlan(4) are unlikely to be involved in the root cause of the panic.

Best regards Zoran no, it wasn't formated on freebsd. i formatted it under the ArchLinux distribution. In addition, the partition was an ext3, not just an ext2. And i was able to read/write without any problems (at least i didn't notice any). Also, the port installed the following files: fsck.ext2 fsck.ext3 fsck.ext4 fsck.ext4dev so even if the journal somehow will get corrupted, it will be possible to fix it. (i think that i used the fsck.ext3 utility once, because a friend of mine unplugged the drive without unmounting it first and it worked perfectly) ofc ymmv, but i think that it worths a shot. on the last part of your question, i'm afraid that i haven't used sheevaplug, so i can't be of any assistance there. hope i was helpful, Ed -- Real programmers don't document.

That machine was running Linux before and is now being converted to FreeBSD 8. when in linux, I had some performance penalties but it works great for internet access. is there anything I can do to solve this ? the card is this: a...@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x3a131186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = '802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter (AR5212)' class = network subclass = ethernet the card doesn't support 802.11a though. I'm about to buy a rum based usb wlan, may be Hawking HWUG1 or TP-LINK TL-WN321G, to make another freebsd based ap for light internet access. is this supposed to happen as well ? thanks, matheus Using similar configuration file for hostapd, I did test another atheros based wlan card in same role: a...@pci0:1:0:0:class=0x02 card=0x3065168c chip=0x001c168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'HDAUDIOFUNC_01VEN_1095DEV_1392SUBSYS_10280242REV_1000 (USBVID_147EPID_20165B71A44601)' class = network subclass = ethernet this is a pcie part, AFAIK, running on Asus F3T turion based notebook. Runs FreeBSD 8 as well: [math...@xxx/usr/home/matheus]$ uname -a FreeBSD xxx.xxx 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #5: Sun Jan 3 16:20:25 BRT 2010 r...@xxx.xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xxx amd64 but this time I have no message as tha other box, and the AP works fine. matheus -- We will call you cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

stat(2) docs
Where did the chflags(2) part of the stat(2) struct go as documented in the man page for stat(2) in RELENG_4 but not in RELENG_8? I can see it in various places on both in /usr/include/sys/stat.h. I'm not sure what to make of __BSD_VISIBLE yet. Am I missing a change in how to use stat(2) somewhere?
