Re: Numerous hard hangs on TWO different ASUS P4T-E w/P4 1.6G

A search on this failed to produce any close result. All critical patches to 4.5 mentioning system crashes found on the Errata section of www.freebsd.org have been applied, at least all the ones relevant to a machine with no shell users. Kernel is non-SMP. I experienced the same symptoms from a cvsup from april 28th, a box which had ran without fail for 8 months hung hard within 24 hours. I cvsup'd again on may 4th, and the box has ran fine since then. This box is also running IMP, with apache and postgres, and also handles a fair bit of email each day. Configuration: [full dmesg snipped] We do not have a single piece of hardware (barring legacy isa stuff like serial ports) in common.

Viewpoint on 4.6RC4
My only request is that we get to test these applications and have some of them become the default applications in the base system: 1. NTP 4.1.1a 2. Sendmail 8.12.4 3. tar 1.13.25 or whatever is the most updated 'stable' version. 4. GCC 2.95.3 3.1 selections in GUI (whatever is the most reliable) 5. OpenSSH 3.2.3 and OpenSSL 0.9.6c/d 6. Samba 2.2.4 7. Nvidia recent drivers (test these with Xfree86 4.2.x) on Quadro/geforce boards I just notice that this was some of the current issues we are having besides the basic/advanced base system testing. Some of this was already done but listed here for reference. I know FreeBSD isn't intended to be a Solaris 9 for the free world (or is it?!?) and I know we all have problems with hardware issues (the most common). Is there an easier way to put all our issues together in a simple doc to compile the information needed to make improvements for the 4.6 release?!?

Except for Sendmail where kill `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid` is needed because sendmail's command line options are on the 2nd line. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] = The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

What I'm getting at is the log entry for 2 hours in the past being added in the middle of the present. Is this a bug or a feature? Your timezone is +0200, correct? It is almost certainly a timezone issue. I had such problems running postfix chrooted in /var/spool/postfix. Usually, if you have a /etc/localtime file, you should also have the same file in /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime, otherwise your time will be all screwed up. Same for /etc/wall_cmos_clock. I sure looks like you have your smtp program chrooted while smtpd is not, or the other way around. A.

Re: Safe to use -j with 'make release' (stable) ?
If memory serves me right, Matthew Dillon wrote: Does anyone know if it is safe to use -j with 'make release' for -stable? As of 4.4, the answer was no (because Murray listed that as future work in his release engineering article). However, I've used WORLD_FLAGS in src/release/Makefile to parallelize at least part of the process on recent 4-STABLE. Bruce.
