 It's not gone since Oracle can not withdraw code that is already

So all we need to direct some of the money we already spend for 
supporting developers and certain developments to core ZFS developers no 
longer employed by Sun/Oracle and that way make FreeBSD the primary ZFS 
development platform for the future. If you have the key developers, the 
community will follow.

Before someone starts argueing... I know, it's not that easy and I don't 
have a clue how one would do that. This is most probably more like a 
crazy idea than a plan that could actually work :-/

 I then tried upgrading from source after getting CURRENT as of

 The only thing unusual about this machine is that the onboard EIDE

I see a similar behaviour since somwhere shortly before 5.2-BETA on my 
HP OmniBook 500: If I try to boot with the base station attached (which 
includes an additional ATA Channel with an CDROM Drive attached), I see 
the same messages as you see for ata3-master (which is exactly where the 
CDROM resides). If I remove the CDROM from the base station, so the ATA 
channel is still there, but with no devices, I have no problems booting. 
I don't have other devices (like harddisks) to test this behaviour with.

Booting with the CDROM worked until well a few weeks ago, I cannot 
tell exactly, because I don't use it very often.

Well, I'm still seeing problems with my Lucent Card on -CURRENT (there 
were postings here about that earlier, but Ican't provide details at the 
moment as I don't have time to test - sorry Sam, Warner).

Maybe you should try updating to the latest Firmware of the card, which 
is 8.10.1 at Lucent. That fixed a lot of problems for a friend of mine 
(at least under -STABLE some time ago). As soon as you have the latest 
Station Firmware in the card rerun your tests.

Most messages and all of the problems go away, when I use WITNESS in the

options WITNESS

 What script are you trying to run?  What does your configuration file
 look like?

(cvsup was just before buildkernel/buildworld - the version before was
about 4-5 days old and showed the same effect)

In /etc/devd.conf I added the following lines for my Lucent Orinoco Gold
Card (which works just fine when I plug in the pccard after the system
has started):

--- CUT HERE ---
attach 50 {
device-name wi[0-9];
action /usr/local/etc/netconf/bin/netconf $device-name start;
};

detach 50 {
device-name wi[0-9];
action /usr/local/etc/netconf/bin/netconf $device-name stop;
};
--- CUT HERE ---

This netconf script (yeah, I know, /usr/local/etc is not a good place
for something like that) is something I wrote which get's a bunch of
small config files for each known wireless network and then configures
the card to the first matching WLAN. This script logs to syslog and so I
know it is not even started on bootup, if the card is already plugged
in. If I take the pccard out and put it back in again, everything works
fine. Any ideas?

David Wolfskill gave a good pointer, that devd starts before all
non-root disks are mounted. I'm just trying to move my script to the
root partition (for the moment I move it to /etc/netconf/ just to test
it). Although the scripts works when manually started after booting I
have still no evidence it is even called on boot, but for the moment I
suspect my script maybe has some problems in that early stage and I will
try to give it some debugging stuff.

I'll keep you informed 'bout my findings.

 I ran into a similar problem, actually -- programs like dhclient rely on
 being able to write to lease and pid files.  It's almost as though we'd
 like an additional set of events when the system is more booted.  I.e.,
 a devd event for each device when the network is started, etc.
 
 Actually, I suspect what we want is to have a seperate network event
 management daemon -- arrival of the device is not the same as arrival of
 the interface.  dhclient events (and related things) should happen as a
 result of the interface arriving, not the newbus device arrival.  I.e., a
 netd that listens to routing socket and kqueue events relating to the
 network stack. 

Well, it did not really help to put a sleep 20 at the beginnging of my
script, it did help anyhow to put a put a sleep 20 ;  in front of the
script execution in the attach line. So I know now, the script actually
get's started. Although it's a viable way to have the sleep in the
attach line, this is clearly not a good solution: I do not really know,
how long the system needs for booting to a stage, when the script can be
executed. And I don't really want to wait 15 or 20 seconds everytime I
insert the network card before the script actually beghins to work. OK,
I get around it, as I usually don't exchange network cards too often.

So maybe there should be for devd the possibilty to delay script
execution for some time or better until a certain event for the booting
case. Comments from anyone who's involved in devd development?

Question about devd concept

2003-02-01 Thread Oliver Brandmueller
Hi,

I'm currently experimenting with 5-CURRENT on my Notebook an have a
question regarding the concept of devd.

With 4-STABLE I had pccardd running. Whenever a pccard was inserted I
had pccardd starting the corresponding scripts. I have configured devd
to do so now (especially for my wavelan pccard). So far everything
works, except for one case: When the pccard is already inserted during
boot, devd does not recognize the card as newly inserted device (of
course, it's already there). So I have currently setup a script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d which starts the script corresponding to the wavelan
pccard, if interface wi0 is found during boot. I think this cannot be
the considered solution for that problem?

What am I missing about the concept of devd?

Thanx, Oliver

Re: Installing linux_base 6.1

Hi,

 Could you explain _why_?  Is this just a matter of taste, or is there a
 concrete security concern in play?

Securing one directory is much simpler, than securing two directories.
And making /etc secure in times when you sometimes simply don't want
users fetch a userlist from your password file is hard enough. I
wouldn't like to deal with two directories in that matter. Having /etc
mounted read-only can be OK in many cases, but also mount
/usr/local/etc read-only would make life much more difficult as you
have to remount it read-write for most simple add-on-software or for
fiddling in your local configuration.

So I agree not to have security related files in /usr/local.

Bye, Oliver

Re: freezing

 Happens quite often.
 
 Anyone else has noticed this ?

I had that problem three times:

Once, when I tried using a K6-3 on my Gigabyte GA5-AX Motherboard. They
just weren't working together, when I changed back to a K6-2 (both
tried at 350 MHz) the problems disappeared. The K6-3 works fine now in
another machine (MSI Mainboard or something like that).

Another time something like that happened, when my cooler failed.

On one of my old Suns I had a similar problem, when one of the SIMMs
was damaged.


So, get on and check 'ya hardware.


Bye, Oliver
