Re: hard lock under 3.4-STABLE
On Fri, Feb 11, 2000 at 06:03:16PM -0800, Matthew Dillon wrote: I presume its the client that is locking up? If you remove the server binary and the client takes a page fault on the binary, and does not have the page in the cache, what is supposed to happen is that the program is supposed to seg fault when the NFS read fails. It's quite possible that there is a bug in dealing with this situation and if you can get it repeatable we can probably fix it fairly easily. I did some experiments with this sort of thing a few months ago. I think you can kill 3.X NFS client machines by truncating a binary on the NFS server. You can also make the machine extreamly slugish by catching SIGBUS and SIGSEGV in an executable and then causing one of these signals once the binary is modified. We see it quite frequently with people using MPI. I'll see if I can reproduce any of these effects and let you know how to do it. David.

Diskless Workstation with Etherboot
I have been trying to turn a 486 that I have into a diskless workstation and have not gotten very far. I have compiled Etherboot, and set up the server with tftp and bootp. I have both daemons enabled. When I boot up the 486 machine tcpdump yields this: [root:dragon]# tcpdump -i de0 -e tcpdump: listening on de0 11:34:14.767283 0:0:b2:0:0:be Broadcast ip 342: 0.0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255.bootps: (request) xid:0x52850a00 secs:9 [|bootp] 11:34:24.653629 0:0:b2:0:0:be Broadcast ip 342: 0.0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255.bootps: (request) xid:0x52850a00 secs:18 [|bootp] . . . and so on. Bootp then complains, "bootpd[350]: sendto: Can't assign requested address" As you can see, I'm not getting very far. Below are my configuration files, please EMail back if you need other ones.

bad floppies lock ttys
I don't think this is the very right place to put this message, but I don't really want to subscribe to high-traffic mailing lists and maybe this is a device problem... The device is /dev/fd0 (standart 1,44 IDE floppy, controller fdc). When accessing bad floppy disks the kernel complains for a while and then all virtual consoles lock... ttyv*, ttyp* (used by telnet) and don't know about serials. Total lock, when you type it doesn't appear. Everyhing else seem to work fine (networking, routing, services...); the debuger (ddb) too, but I don't know what to do with it :). The solution is the F0 key (Ctrl+Alt+RESET). ... To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Kernel messages, msgbuf and syslog
Hi, I was wondering if there is any way currently to emit a message from within kernel, so that syslogd can pick it up later on, but without spoiling the standard message buffer. AFAIK, there is no way to do it right now. The reason I'm asking is that quite a few programs (most notably ipfw) spit countless messages to kernel msgbuf, thus overwriting any other important info. Is there any interest among people to implement such feature?

CMOS clock won't do 2000
I have an older 486 system, running 3.4R that has a cmos clock that seems
to be unwilling to accept years out side the range 94-99. The bios seems
willing to set dates between 1994-2099, but after reboot any year not
between 94-99 is converted to {20,19}94.
What I have done is to go into i386/isa/clock.c and in the routines
inittodr, resettodr, is to add 6 to and subtract 6 from the years
respectively. I was wondering if anybody had any better ideas.

A can ping C, but not B
I got 4 machines at home on an Ethernet coax. A-B-C-D. B is FreeBSD server (samba), the rest is win98 (C is split win/fbsd). C and D talks fine to B. A talks nicely to C (haven't tried to D), but very poorly to B. I got ping losses of 1 out of 3 to 4 from A to B, but no loss A to C. I then took the T-plug from A and put it on a hub, and UTP from hub to A. Still 100% from A to C, but now no ping at all from A to B! What's going on? Standing waves? I got proper terminators either end. The cable is assembled of well 10 shorter pieces with "empty" T-plugs, could that be a problem?

Is the clock chip socketed? Are BIOS updates available for the motherboard?

Also watch out for day-of-month and day-of-week calulations done in the
cmos chip. It's a shame you couldn't set it for 1972 which matches the
year 2000 date, day, and leap year sequences exactly.

If it says somthing to the effect of "in order to redistribute this, these are the conditions you must follow", that's not necessarily a contract. You don't have any obligations, unless you want the right to distribute it. However, if it's a "click here to accept" in order to download something, then thats closer to a contract as it's getting you to accept obligations regardless of whether you distribute it or not. This covers things like "no commercial use" and so on. You can generally only impose restrictions on *usage* via some sort of contract. The GPL is very much the former. You can pretty much do whatever you damn well please with it and have absolutely no obligations. But to get the right to distribute the copyrighted code (or derivatives), then the license spells out the conditions under which you can distribute it. The BSD license is similar - you don't have any obligations unless you want to distribute it.
