 Important note to freebsd-update(8) users:  Please be sure to follow the
 instructions in the EN-13:04.freebsd-update errata notice here before
 upgrading the system to 10.0-BETA3:

Additional note to freebsd-update(8) users:

It has been reported that /var/empty is removed from the system as part
of updating the system with freebsd-update(8).  Specifically, the
directory is removed after running 'freebsd-update install' to install
the userland updates (after the kernel updates are installed and
freebsd-update(8) prompts to reboot and run 'freebsd-update install'
a second time).

The cause is still not clear, but we are actively looking into the
cause.

One of the symptoms of this behavior is that daemons using /var/empty as
the home directory will not start after the userland updates are
installed.

A temporary workaround for this is to create /var/empty after the
userland updates have completed, but before the system is rebooted the
second time, for example:

# freebsd-update -r 10.0-BETA3 upgrade
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
# freebsd-update install
# mkdir /var/empty
# chflags schg /var/empty
# shutdown -r now

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused for anyone running into
this.

FreeBSD 10.0-BETA3 now available

2013-11-05 Thread Glen Barber
The third BETA build of the 10.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available
on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64 and
sparc64 architectures.

The image checksums follow at the end of this email.

ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images
are available here:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/

(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).

If you notice problems you can report them through the normal GNATS PR
system or here on the -current mailing list.

If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing
system, use the stable/10 branch.

Important note to freebsd-update(8) users:  Please be sure to follow the
instructions in the EN-13:04.freebsd-update errata notice here before
upgrading the system to 10.0-BETA3:

Changes between -BETA2 and -BETA3 include:

o Several small fixes for the amd64 minidump code.
o Add a 'pkg bootstrap' command which will bootstrap pkg(8) without
  forwarding any command to it after installation.
o Fix make(1) warning output with 'make delete-old' and 'make
  delete-old-libs'
o Add kernel side support for large TLB on BERI/CHERI.
o Fix compatibility function for old
  daily_status_security_${name}_enable variables.
o Add loader.conf(5) entries to import bootpool after boot when
  using full-disk encryption and ZFS.
o Switch the default mtree to nmtree our new NetBSD derived mtree.
o Remove the (unused) isf(4) driver.
o Separate WITHOUT_CLANG and WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC.
o Add atse(4), a driver for the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet
  MegaCore.
o Fix a deadlock when trying to power off a USB device.
o Support checking signature for pkg bootstrap from remote
  and for 'pkg add ./pkg.txz'
o Fix long-standing issue with incorrect radix mask calculation.
o Add support for using pkg+http://; for the PACKAGESITE.
o Add driver for POWER hypervisor interpartition ethernet.
o Fix panic in the tap driver when a tap and vmnet interface were
  created after each other.
o Update Emulex oce(4) driver to version 10.0.664.0.

Pre-installed virtual machine images for 10.0-BETA3 are also available
for amd64 and i386 architectures.

The images are located under the 'snapshots' directory on FTP, here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/10.0-BETA3/

The disk images are available in both QCOW2 and VMDK format.  The image
download size is approximately 136 MB, which decompress to a 20GB sparse
image.

The partition layout is:

- 512k - freebsd-boot GPT partition type (bootfs GPT label)
- 1GB  - freebsd-swap GPT partition type (swapfs GPT label)
- ~17GB - freebsd-ufs GPT partition type (rootfs GPT label)
