FreeBSD Status Report January-March, 2010
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report Introduction This report covers FreeBSD related projects between January and March 2010. Being the first of the four reports planned for 2010 with 46 entries, it shows a good progress of the FreeBSD Project and proves that our committers are keeping up with the latest trends in the OS development. During this period, a new minor version of FreeBSD, 7.3-RELEASE, has been released, while the release process for 8.1-RELEASE is soon to begin and is planned to be released later this summer. Thanks to all the reporters for their excellent work! We hope you enjoy the reading. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between April and June 2010 is July 15th, 2010. __ Google Summer of Code * Google Summer of Code 2010 Projects * Chromium web browser * Clang replacing GCC in the base system * EFI support for FreeBSD/i386 * mfsBSD * Modular Congestion Control * NAND Flash framework for embedded FreeBSD * Out of Tree Toolchain * PC-BSD PC-SysInstall Backend * The tbemd branch * webcamd FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Bugbusting Team * Release Engineering Team * The FreeBSD Foundation Network Infrastructure * (Virtual) Network Stack resource cleanup * 802.11n support * Atheros AR9285 support * Enhancing the FreeBSD TCP Implementation * Experimental NFS subsystem (NFSv4) * ipfw and dummynet enhancements * net80211 rate control framework * TCP/UDP connection groups Kernel * CAM-based ATA implementation * Dynamic Ticks in FreeBSD * geom_sched * IPv6 without legacy IP kernel * Multichannel playback in HDA sound driver (snd_hda) * Rewrite of FreeBSD read/write path using vnode page * SUJ: Journaled Softupdates * ZFS Documentation * The FreeBSD German Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Hungarian Documentation Project Userland Programs * FreeBSD port for libunwind * LDAP support in base system Architectures * FreeBSD/arm port for TI DaVinci * FreeBSD/ia64 * FreeBSD/mips on D-Link DIR-320 * FreeBSD/powerpc * FreeBSD/powerpc64 port * FreeBSD/sparc64 Ports * Portmaster * Ports Collection * QAT Miscellaneous * BSDCan 2010 -- The BSD Conference * meetBSD 2010 -- The BSD Conference __ (Virtual) Network Stack resource cleanup Contact: Bjoern A. Zeeb b...@freebsd.org In February work was done to address resource leaks in the (virtual) network stack, especially on teardown. During that time also multiple general run-time problems and leaks were identified and fixed including leaked ipfw tables on module unload, routing entries leaked, in case of interfaces going away, as well as leaked link-layer entries in interaction with flowtable and timers. For virtual network stacks resources are are no longer allocated multiple times or freed upon teardown for eventhandlers, IP and upper level layers, like TCP syncache and host cache, flowtable, and especially radix/routing table memory. In addition epair(4) was enhanced and debugging was improved. This work was sponsored by ISPsystem. Open tasks: 1. Merge the remaining patches. 2. Work on a better teardown model and get to the point where we can free UMA zones without keeping pages for type stability and timers around. __ 802.11n support Contact: Rui Paulo rpa...@freebsd.org 802.11n support in the Atheros driver is being worked on. Right now it can do AMPDU RX in software and we are working on TX AMPDU. The code lives in a private Perforce branch, but some bits of it are already committed to HEAD. This work is being sponsored by iXsystems, inc. __ Atheros AR9285 support Contact: Rui Paulo rpa...@freebsd.org Atheros AR9285 support was added to FreeBSD HEAD and 8-STABLE. There are still some issues but in general it works fine. __ BSDCan 2010 -- The BSD Conference URL: http://www.BSDCan.org/2010/ URL: http://www.BSDCan.org/2010/schedule/ Contact: BSDCan Information i...@bsdcan.org BSDCan, a BSD conference held in Ottawa, Canada, has quickly established itself as the technical conference for people working on and with 4.4BSD based operating systems and related projects.

Re: Options for redundant storage cluster?
On Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:40:19 -0600 (CST), Robert Bonomi For the illiterati, like myself, _what_ does committed to head mean? head is a synonym for -CURRENT. You can read more about this topic in our great handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html What it basically means, is that the code hit the source tree of the development branch, which allows it to be publicly available for other developers and early adopters. After the code in head is considered stable, it gets merged to the -stable branches (8.x, 7.x) and will be part of the next release which will be cut from the given branch (like 8.2 or 7.4). -- Kind regards Daniel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FreeBSD Status Reports April - September, 2009
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report Introduction This report covers FreeBSD related projects between April and September 2009. During that time a lot of work has been done on wide variety of projects, including the Google Summer of Code projects. The BSDCan conference was held in Ottawa, CA, in May. The EuroBSDCon conference was held in Cambridge, UK, in September. Both events were very successful. A new major version of FreeBSD, 8.0 is to be released soon. If you are wondering what's new in this long-awaited release, read Ivan Voras' excellent summary. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy the reading.

We had a total of 17 successful projects. Some GSoC code will be shipping with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE and others will be integrated into future releases. The FreeBSD GSoC admin team would like to thank Google and our students and mentors of another great year! __ BSD# Project URL: http://code.google.com/p/bsd-sharp/ URL: http://www.mono-project.org/ Contact: Romain Tartičre rom...@blogreen.org The BSD# Project is devoted to porting the Mono .NET framework and applications to the FreeBSD operating system. During the past year, the BSD# Team continued to track the Mono development and the lang/mono port have almost always been up-to-date (we however had to skip mono-2.2 because of some regression issues in this release). Most of our patches have been merged in the mono trunk upstream, and should be included in the upcoming mono-2.6 release. In the meantime, a few more .NET related ports have been updated or added to the FreeBSD ports tree. These ports include: * www/xsp and www/mod_mono that make it possible to use FreeBSD for hosting ASP.NET application; * lang/boo, a CLI-targeted programming language similar to Python; * lang/mono-basic, the Visual Basic .NET Framework for Mono; * devel/monodevelop, an Integrated Development Environment for .NET; * and much more... Open tasks: 1. Test mono ports and send feedback (we are especially interested in tests where NOPORTDOCS / WITH_DEBUG is enabled). 2. Port the mono-debugger to FreeBSD. 3. Build a debug live-image of FreeBSD so that Mono hackers without a FreeBSD box can help us fixing bugs more efficiently. __ BSD-licensed iconv (Summer of Code 2009) URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/G%C3%A1borSoC2009 Contact: Gábor Kövesdán ga...@freebsd.org The code has been extracted from
Re: best FBSD version for commercial use.
Nerius Landys wrote: My 2 cents, as far as I know 7.1 will be maintained longer than 7.2 according to the freebsd.org website. That is, security fixes will be rolled out for 7.1 a while after 7.2 reaches End Of Life. That made me decide to go with 7.1 when I had to make the switch from 7.0 a few months ago. 8.0 was not out at that time. I don't think that is correct. There must be something unclear there. http://security.freebsd.org/ Near the bottom of the page mentioned above, there is a table. RELENG_7_1 EoL is January 31, 2011, RELENG_7_2 EoL is May 31, 2010 according to the chart. That is a difference of 8 months. All of these seems to be correct, but it needs a little note. The last version from the X-STABLE branch gets the Extended lifetime support. 7.2 is definitely not the latest release from the stable/7 branch, and that is the reason why it has shorter support life time. There, however, will be at least 7.3 which will potentially get longer support. And upgrading to 7.3 from 7.2 will surely not be a big deal. If you read the mentioned web page more carefully, you will see the following paragraph: Extended Selected releases (normally every second release plus the last release from each -STABLE branch) will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release, and for sufficient additional time (if needed) to ensure that there is a newer Extended release for at least 3 months before the older Extended release expires. -- S pozdravom / Best regards Daniel Gerzo, FreeBSD committer ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I am not sure if it is a temporary problem or or permanent one. The docsnap.sk.FreeBSD.org (as well as ftp.sk and cvsup.sk) server is currently offline due to some problems after its update.

Hello guys, I have noticed today that I have another problem possibly related to this issue. I am running lighttpd+php-cgi in a jail on a 7.0-STABLE system as of Thu Aug 21 10:59:02 CEST 2008. The problem seems to be that lighttpd stops serving the pages, however I haven't had time to dig into this any more closer, but I have found out that there's a lot of connections to the lighty when it seems to be dead. May be it does not close the connections properly?? The only common thing here is that that this jail is serving a page where a lot of image uploading happens.

gmirror on slice
Hello people,
I'm trying to set up a gmirror on two slices, but I am stuck
somewhere. I am unable to find out what is wrong. Here's what I have
done so far:
I have 2 disks in the box. I have created 2 slices on both of them
(ad{4,6}s1 and ad{4,6}s2) through sysinstall. (btw,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=72895cat= is really
annoying, lucky I had a remote console :-))
Now I want to initialize gmirror on slice 1:
ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted.
ha-db1# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
kern.geom.debugflags: 0 - 16
ha-db1# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4s1
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad4s1: Operation not permitted.
for additional information, I am including the following:
ha-db1# fdisk -vp ad4
# /dev/ad4
g c1453521 h16 s63
p 1 0xa5 63 72340632
a 1
p 2 0xa5 72340695 1392803370
ha-db1# disklabel /dev/ad4s1
# /dev/ad4s1:
8 partitions:
#size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 104857604.2BSD 2048 16384 8
b: 25165824 1048576 swap
c: 723406320unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit
d: 25165824 262144004.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
e: 20960408 513802244.2BSD 2048 16384 28528
Any ideas will be much appreciated.

Or there is also utility called nextboot(8). the reason is that i am trying to keep my kernel up to date, but my understanding is that it could be done only with the original kernel, right? or i am mistaken... as to kernel.safe, there is no this directory by default (even boot manual has option for kernel safe). i am wondering where the kernel.safe is... kernel.safe does not exist by default. Giorgos's kernel.safe directory is only a copy of kernel which simply works for him and he is certainly sure it does. Of course, you can keep as much kernels as you want in your /boot directory (well, depends on how much of the free space you have on root partition :-)) and you can name them let's say kernel-06-03-20 and so on.

Hi questions, Enrique Ayesta Perojo,

It seems like bruteforceblocker is running, since you can see
messages in your auth.log. this is good. could you please provide
me info, which version of openssh are you using, so I can debug? I
have som reports, that my bruteforceblocker does not work with
older versions of openssh, since it uses little bit different
format of warnings, so my regexps does not apply. Also, please send
here the format of those messages.
Thank you.
This is the version:
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 FreeBSD-20040419, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
It's a FreeBSD 5.4-p7 box, and here there are some of the messages
at /var/log/auth.log:
Oct 6 18:29:26 fatboy sshd[28472]: Illegal user jack from 63.67.26.114

from 10.200.62.201 port 44241 ssh2
yeah, that's what I thought it will be ;-)
OpenSSH = 3.8 uses little bit different warning messages. You have
two ways how to make your BruteForceBlocker to work with your
instllation.
1) Update your OpenSSH to 4.2, you can find the port in the
security/openssh-portable (you can use -DOPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE
option) Note, that this one I prefer more.
2) Modify the source code of the BruteForceBlocker, so that my regexps
will match your warnings, modify lines 58-60, for example change:
Failed password.*from ((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}) port
to
Failed unknown for illegal user.*from ((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}) port
or
Invalid user.*from ((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})
to
Illegal user.*from ((?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3})
Thanks again
No problem, you are welcome. Let me know if it works.

Re[2]: 5.4 Installation Problems on Dell GX280 - Fatal trap 12
Hello SHands, Wednesday, June 22, 2005, 12:37:57 AM, you thinks about: I've had a nightmare trying to get 5.4 (also tried 5.3) to work on a Dell GX280 - which had exactly the same problem. In the end, I ended up using a serial link to get the install done and then got inetd setup so that I could troubleshoot over the network. This didn't help long term as the keyboard didn't work once I'd restarted after finishing the install. I stumbled on this script which seemed to do the trick: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-October/022771 .html I used telnet to get at rc.conf - but there probably are other better ways. It seems a shame that Dell (and other manufacturers) are phasing out old 'legacy' hardware like the good ol' PS/2 ports. It's just a good job that they didn't kill the serial port on this particular machine!
