IMHO different OS releases (Unix or not) are usually at the state of
FreeBSD current regarding stability. FreeBSD late BETA and early RC
are usually very stable. Therefore the approximate one month period
between the first beta and the release is adequate time.

Many users are reluctant to follow stable because they have to go
through the wolrd && kernel procedure. Since freebsd-update exists as
a means of binary upgrading a system through releases, I don't think
that it would be a bad idea to be able to use is for stable as well.
Let's assume that we would have monthly minor releases something like
9.0.1, 9.0.2 etc.   That could ease the fear of .0 release.

This is coming from someone who is using current all the time for
workstations and stable for production servers and never uses
freebsd-update!

Best Regards

I agree 100%. The more people follow current the better releases we
will have in the future. Sure current in not for the beginner, you
will need to be able to compile world and kernel and produce debug
symbols. That is expected.

But maybe we should keep an open mind into ideas and not condemn them
immediately.

I think he suggests a) 10

BTW I follow both stable and current lists. I have noticed that people
still ask questions in current regarding 9-RC(*) problems.
Maybe if it was clear that current is now 10 this would not happen.

Correct me if I am wrong but up until 9.0 is released there isn't any
practical difference between RELENG_9 & RELENG_9_0

ahci in FreeBSD 9

2011-12-01 Thread George Kontostanos
Hi everyone,

>From my understanding as of 20110424 revision device ahci has been
integrated into kernel:


It is possible to load devices ahci, ata, siis and mvs as modules, but
option ATA_CAM should remain in kernel configuration to make ata
module work as CAM driver supporting legacy ATA controllers. Device
ata still can be used in modular fashion
...
No kernel config options or code have been removed, so if a problem
arises, please report it and optionally revert to the old ATA stack.
In order to do it you can remove from the kernel config:
optionsATA_CAM
device ahci


Does this mean that loading ahci in loader.conf is useless ?

Thanks

I apologize for the delayed response. I had no knowledge of the exact board.
The board is Supermicro X9SCL-F running the latest  Firmware Revision: 01.27.

FreeBSD 9 & recompile ports

2012-01-12 Thread George Kontostanos
Greetings all and my apologies for cross posting!

There seems to be a confusion regarding the ABI change in FreeBSD 9
and if this affects the usual upgrade path which includes a full port
rebuild.

The relevant post is here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28831

Frankly, I am also confused because I remember a relevant discussion a
few months ago in the lists. Traditionally a major RELEASE upgrade
requires a full ports rebuild, however this time there is no
COMPAT_FREEBSD8 in GENERIC and most upgraded systems seem to be
working fine. On the other hand this is stated in UPDATING:

20110828:
Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that
do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared
to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped.
Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle.

Your input would be appreciated!

Very good point!

Still the question remains regarding COMPAT_FREEBSD8 and how does this
affects ports/misc/compat8x/

It looks quite obvious to me know and I think this clears any further confusion.

This sounds great. I guess we will have to wait for MFC, probably

No you are not blind. Installing bind from ports still relies on the
/etc/rc.d/named script.

Excellent thanks so much!

If you had named running using the old rc scripts and config in 10 you will
need to:

1) Backup your zones & stop named
2) Delete /var/named/*
3) Create a new symlink in etc to /usr/local/etc/namedb
4) Restore your zones
5) Start named from the new rc script

Sorry I forgot also that if if you don't specify the location of named in
the rc.conf:

named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"

You will get an error message:

root@hp:/etc # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/named start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/named: WARNING: run_rc_command: cannot run
/usr/sbin/named

Those are observations from a test machine that I use which was running
bind with the old rc style.

ZFS dedup and temporary freeze

2011-03-29 Thread George Kontostanos
Hi List,

I am using dedup=on for my ezjail /jails directory. I noticed a strange
behavior during the installation of the ports tree in the basejail. The
system appears to freeze for a while and the cpu appears to be idle during
that time. The same behavior is shown when building ports inside the jail.

Here is some information about the pool:

I thought that jails would be a good candidate for dedup. So far I am using
it without any issues in my /usr/src and /virtualBox directories.

The system has 4Gs of RAM. I don''t use any devices for L2ARC and my tuning
is like this:

vm.kmem_size="3072M"
vfs.zfs.arc_max="2048M"

I had my eyes on the memory during the whole procedure and things looked
"normal".

Thanks

Re: ZFS dedup and temporary freeze

2011-03-30 Thread George Kontostanos
As far as I am aware ezjail has the option to use compression and disable
access time updates.

ezjail_zfs_properties="-o compression=lzjb -o atime=off"

In my case the dedup option was turned on only in the basejail causing the
system to temporarily freeze. Once the dedup option was removed everything
went back to normal.
What I am trying to figure out here is why did this occur.

Thanks

I am trying to make a release with the following arguments:

make release CHROOTDIR=/usr/home/current BUILDNAME=9-CURRENT
EXTSRCDIR=/usr/src NOPORTS=YES MAKE_ISOS=YES

however /usr/home/current is being ignored completely and everything ends up

Sorry I didn't read the man pages lately!

 releaseMeta-target to build all release media and distributions
applicable to this platform. All output goes to
${.OBJDIR}, which will likely be either src/release or
the
equivalent path in /usr/obj.

 The following sequence of commands can be used to build a ``-CURRENT
 snapshot'' in a clean environment, including ports and documentation:

   cd /usr/src
   make buildworld
   cd release
   export CVSUP_HOST=cvsupN.freebsd.org
   sh generate-release.sh head /local3/release

2011-04-15 Thread George Kontostanos
I was wondering if ZFS v28 is going to be MFC to 8-Stable or not.

I think that at this point it takes more than a patch. That is way I am
asking if there is a plan to MFC to 8-Stable.

I also think that labeling disks & partitions should be the default approach
on new installations.
I wonder why the new bsdinstaller does not adopt this policy yet. It is
practical, easy and saves a lot of hassles when it comes to disk
replacements.

The new bsdinstall has a different layout so the previous guides don't work.
I have prepared one that works for recent 9-Current at :

Could you please explain where did you actually got stacked ?

Have you installed the OS by :

for file in base.txz lib32.txz kernel.txz doc.txz ports.txz src.txz;
do (cat $file | tar --unlink -xpJf - -C ${DESTDIR:-/}); done

Did you copy zpool.cache ?

I suppose that you didn't forget to add a boot code to your boot disk(s) ?

gpart bootcode -b boot/pmbr -p boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0

Re: ZFS install from -CURRENT snapshot

2011-05-30 Thread George Kontostanos
Sorry about the typos.

The bootcode should be installed to the drive that you are booting from.

I see that you have:

ada1:
  1 freebsd-boot
  2 freebsd-swap  8G
  3 freebsd-zfs   4G (zil)
  4 freebsd-zfs   17G (cache)

ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G  Main filesystem.

I don't think that ada1 holds any OS files therefore you will need to boot
from ada0

gpart create -s gpt ada0
gpart add -b 34 -s 64k -t freebsd-boot ada0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0

Bingo! That did it. I will update the guide soon.

@Daniel my apologies it seems that another typo is preventing you from
booting. You have to set the bootfs in the pool.

zpool set bootfs=zroot zroot

That's one of the bad things that happens when you type without having the

xpt_action_default: CCB type 0xe not supported

2011-06-21 Thread George Kontostanos
Fresh installation and after world && kernel update I get these messages
during boot:

xpt_action_default: CCB type 0xe not supported
xpt_action_default: CCB type 0xe not supported

The system is running GENERIC with debugging for use in current off options.


Full dmesg attached.

After applying the patch the system does not boot anymore!

It hangs after probing for scsi devices.

I have even try to build with debug symbols but I don't see anything
different. The system is running GENERIC kernel with debug options
disabled.

options COMPAT_FREEBSD32

Is included in the kernel as I saw that this has caused similar
problems in the past.

Any help would be appreciated
