Bug#740920: Installers fails to create ufs on disk during installation (arch: kfreebsd-amd64)
Hi, Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (2014-03-06): Past blockers: debian-installer-utils eglibc Current blockers: linux (ftbfs already uploaded, needs builds + aging). ufsutils Current nice-to-have: l10n updates for a bunch of d-i packages. (I may be forgetting things, just a quick brain dump.) I think next week should be OK as far as linux and l10n stuff are concerned. So if you can get ufsutils fixed by then, that would be nice. Baring new blockers, I should be uploading d-i before 2014-03-14. all of that happened, except for s/14/16/; assuming nothing breaks when building images: feel free to switch to userland 10 whenever you feel it's ready, and to commit stuff in debian-installer's master branch. I'll try to give advance warnings next time I try to freeze stuff for a d-i release. I just felt it was the time and things were mostly converging, so I tried to get that done ASAP before some pieces start moving again. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I'm a bit wary of doing that on sunday afternoon, so assuming everyone's ok with that, I'll upload userland 10 next friday. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#740920: Installers fails to create ufs on disk during installation (arch: kfreebsd-amd64)
Package: debian-installer Version: 20140208 X-Debbugs-CC: debian-...@lists.debian.org Using the weekly build kfreebsd-amd64 XFCE ISO, it is impossible to install the current Testing distribution. I tried it both within Virtualbox on a Linux machine and within a Hyper-V VM on Windows. The installer proceeds normally (apart from the two incorect ioctl warning that can be ignored and are also present in the working stable installer) until the file system is created on the disk. Then it just displays the error message that the creation failed. 0x20C88DFB.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hopefully BSD folks will handle that. That's #737580, which is fixed in 10.0-2 (experimental). I'm still waiting for feedback before uploading FreeBSD 10 userland to sid. If I don't receive any I could still upload it, but Steven said he wanted to test some things first. I'd prefer if he has a chance to do it. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Robert Millan r...@debian.org (2014-03-06): That's #737580, which is fixed in 10.0-2 (experimental). Looking at 05_wipe_otherfs.patch in both versions, it looks like v9 could easily be fixed in the same way? If so, why not do that? Staying at kfreebsd 9 for the jessie alpha 1 images looks like a nice idea (even more so if they also manage to create UFS file systems), so that there's a reference image to check possible regressions (when switching to kfreebsd 10) against.

There's a list here of things to test, if anyone else can help: I don't have time to test more stuff, but maybe I can trim the list down a bit: * mkfs.ufs (which seemed broken yesterday in jessie d-i images with 9.2 kernel?) I've tested this (after rebuilding d-i with ufsutils-udeb 10.0). * DHCP Tested, too. Works fine here (notwithstanding #740509 which was in 9.2 already). * if the netmask from the DHCP lease is properly set [I suspect I was seeing an issue in ifupdown however] Sorry, didn't check this one. * in case this change has any relevance, rebuild the zfs components, and see if `/sbin/zpool iostat -v 2` output is fixed; I was seeing read speeds appear under the write column, and only zeroes in the read speed column. I haven't found time to update zfsutils, so unless someone else can help that would be left out for now. Means less testing to do ;-) -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Fine with me, though I got no time to take care of 9.x branch. I barely keep up with 10.0-related work...
