Thank you very much for the report.  Somehow I missed Toomas'es report on the
mailing list.

It looks like I should have done more investigation on the state of devfs in
stable/8 before MFC-ing the change.  There are several earlier big commits that
have not been MFC-ed.
So, now I can either revert the MFC and be done with it.
Or we can try to investigate the crash and see if it's easy to fix it.

Do you guys have crashdumps from the panic?


Hi Andriy,

After some fiddling about, I've obtained a crashdump of this panic :

Obviously, I can't do anything with the vmcore without the matching kernel (and
perhaps modules).  Also, kgdb and libkvm.so from the matching system can be 
needed.

Perhaps you could try examining the devfs_rule_run frame to give a start?
Like listing the source code line and examining all local variables.

Thank you.



Hi Andriy,

Unless I'm doing something wrong, there doesn't appear to be any useful 
information contained in the frame other than source line.


kgdb script is available at http://goo.gl/ZS8Mjj

I'll try merging r211847 as you suggested and will report back.

Jase.

Hi Andriy,

I've merged that change, rebuilt the kernel and that appears to have 
resolved the panic. Jails are now starting up correctly with devfs rules 
being successfully applied.


Thanks very much!

Hi,

/etc/profile is the system wide profile for sh shell. So, should you 
need to do this for all sh scripts ( including /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ 
scripts), simply add a PATH line to /etc/profile, eg:


PATH=/foo/bar:/bar/baz:$PATH; export PATH

or

PATH=$PATH:/foo/bar:/bar/baz; export PATH

depending on whether you want your additional directories to be searched 
before or after the default path.

Hi,

I think you misunderstand - 7.1-PRERELEASE is just the name [1] which

Anyone has any idea what i am doing wrong here ... this same mechanism
has worked flawlessly on several other systems (although they were not
RELENG_7_0) ?


1) Remove the space after the word CPUTYPE, e.g.:

CPUTYPE?=core2

You can put a tab after the = if you want, e.g.:

CPUTYPE?=   core2

2) According to some very old mail I have (will dig it up if you want),
Core2Duo users should be using CPUTYPE?=nocona.
  
This should be fixed long time ago. core2 is alias for nocona but the 
idea is users to

be ready when additional optimization for core2 are added.

If you install amd64 then you need nocona if you install i386 you will need 
presscot.
Or use core2 and FreeBSD itself looks at the arch and use nocona or presscot.

That?s what I understand from what I read on the net


1) It's prescott, not presscot.

2) You can use nocona on both i386 and amd64 -- I speak from
experience.  I'm referring to RELENG_7 by the way; I don't think
nocona is recognised by the base system gcc on RELENG_6.



nocona is definitely supported by base gcc in RELENG_6_3 and is listed 
in the gcc manpage :


   nocona
   Improved version of Intel Pentium4 CPU with 64-bit 
   extensions, MMX, SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 instruction set 
support.


I have it in my /etc/make.conf for 6.3-REL/amd64 and it works a charm.

Ah, I see John has described why in the PR.

As the hid collection test doesn't seem to be working fully, what would 
be the downside of testing the descriptor directly but removing the 
SubClass test, as the spec defines only two available values - 1 for 
using Boot Protocol and 2 for Unknown.


As we can't test for a SubClass of 0 (due to the reason you mention 
above), removing the SubClass test will reintroduce full support for 
mice that report as not using boot protocol (such as the various Razor 
mice).

(when the new port came I did a portupgrade, forgot to kill  restart
fetchmail, when I did so a day or so later it just dumped core), and
I'm trying to pin down exactly what is going wrong. As part of that I
want to try to go back to the old fetchmail and try it *fully knowing
that it has vulnerabilities*.  Which appears to be either obscure,
difficult or impossible.

Long enough without peer review.   Leaders don't post flame bait.

  - Below _Not_ personal criticism of any individual.  -
Ideas of Automatic peer review, rotations etc are used by clubs,
companies,  governments. I'm not aware if FreeBSD has adopted them yet.
  - Reviews detects burn out, raised frequency of agression  attitudes etc.
Sabaticals, holidays etc are good for volunteers too, not just employees.
  - Core are now elected by commiters, but when I suggested elections
way back, it was flamed on high, so peer review could happen too.
  - 7 day suspensions for flamers could also help, unless they apologise 
within eg 48 hours to list (not necessarily recipient) for abuse of list.


The problem's not even really list abuse, but that tolerating
spurious alienating agression (by list or private mail) over years
from a tiny minority will have reduced code etc received in consequence
from numerous others deterred.  We have no employing boss to knocks
heads, just the opposite, a few whose periodic implicit challenge
is: Tolerate my periodic agression or I'll take my toys  leave.
Perhaps most wouldn't leave.  If they did, we'd still survive,
FreeBSD even survived when John (swap) Dyson very unfortunately got
deterred  left, probably no threatened skill loss would be harder
to replace.



No disrespect intended, but I think you need to obtain a sense of humour.

Hi,

I'm curious - do you have any empirical evidence to support this?

A trawl of a few vulnerabilty databases would suggest your comment is 
not entirely accurate.


NVD NIST [1] shows 4 entries for vsftpd (latest 2005-12)  , 1 for 
pureftpd (latest 2004-08)


SecurityFocus [2] shows 1 entry for vsftpd (latest 2004-05), 2 for 
pureftpd (latest 2004-07)


ISS X-Force [3] shows entries 3 for vsftpd (latest 2004-05), for 1 
pureftpd (latest 2004-07)

Jase.

Hello,

You should be using the IA-64 version of FreeBSD as these are Intel 
chips and nor AMD chips?
FreeBSD 5.4 IA-64 is for the Intel EM64T/Xeon/Itainium CPU's, FreeBSD 
5.4 AMD64 is for the AMD 64/x2/Opteron/FX CPU's.


You will have more luck using the IA-64 release, I am not sure if you 
can cvsup the source and rebuild the IA-64 version so you might have to do a
fresh install, and since you have backups of your databases it should 
not take you longer than 1hour to get it all running smoothly again.


Kind regards,
Jayton Garnett



Hiyas,

This is incorrect. The IA-64 builds are for Intel Itanium and Itanium-2 
processors only [1]. The AMD64 builds are the correct ones to use for 
both AMD64 and Intel EM64T processors when 64-bit support is required [2].

Jase Thew.
