Freeze when running freebsd-update
I've run into a totally reproducible freeze in 9.0. There are a number of variables involved, but I'm able to reproduce this freeze 100% of the time. I'm installing very small servers in a Xen HVM virtualization environment. Each instance has 128M memory and 4G of disk space. There is 384M of swap encrypted using geli_swap_flags="-d -l 256 -s 4096". The rest of the disk space is encrypted with "geli init -b -v -a hmac/sha256 -l 256 -s 4096 /dev/ada0p4". After I've installed a VPS in this way, I run the freebsd-update fetch command and it freezes at: Applying patches... I've been trying to diagnose the problem by running top and watching what happens during this stage. I noticed the following: 1) the box runs out of physical memory at this stage (totally expected, that's why there is sufficient swap space). 2) All the processes except 2 sleep: 31 processes: 1 running, 29 sleeping, 1 waiting 3) the box is responsive to hitting enter at the console (it produces another login: prompt) 4) sshd is asleep, so I can't ssh into the box 5) if I try to login to the console, it lets me enter a username then locks up totally, it does not present me with a password: prompt. 6) it has not run out of swap, nowhere close: Mem: 54M Active, 9524K Inact, 41M Wired, 24K Cache, 21M Buf, 32K Free Swap: 384M Total, 6452K Used, 378M Free, 1% Inuse 7) the moment it runs out of physical memory it begins being unresponsive Any idea what might be going on here? ___ 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"
llvm/clang 3.1
Hi! Today was upadate for llvm and clang 3.1. My system is FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3. I update the system with pormaster and llvm was updated to 3.1 but clang shows clang version 3.0 (branches/release_30 142614) 20111021 I installed lang/clang which is 3.1 and I have it in /usr/local/bin: clang version 3.1 (branches/release_31) Target: i386-portbld-freebsd9.0 In /etc/make.conf I have: CC=clang CXX=clang++ CPP=clang-cpp Today I try to build with /usr/local/bin/clang which is 3.1 and it works for graphics/opengtl but it didn't work for multimedia/cuse4bsd-kmod 0.1.24 and than I change back as I wrote above in make.conf and everythink works and I rebuilt opengtl whith clang 3.0 and it works. Is it important just update llvm to 3.1 on FreeBSD 9.0 Rel;ease, please? Do I need to pkg_delete lang/clang? Thank in advance.

Go to: http://www.freebsd.org/ and study the handbook. It has complete sections on getting ISO files and doing the installation. By the way, you will not want Linux files for a FreeBSD install. FreeBSD is not Linux. It is BSD UNIX. Although it does have a Lunix compatibility mode and libraries, it is a completely different thing with somewhat different philosophy and quite a different structure from Lunix. jerry > ___ > 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-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It was DNS ... I have copied a resolv.conf into the jails for future use, but did not enable NAT from the start. The issue disappeared when I commented out the nameserver entries and switched NAT off again, i.e., I could login using ssh in a matter of seconds, not minutes. Now to the followup: Why does ssh and emacs! require DNS for entirely local connections or just to be started? Anyway, thanks for that hint, cheers, -- Christopher TZ: GMT + 2h signature.asc Description: PGP signature
sysinstall diskPartitionEditor Question
Hi All,
I'd like to set the offset/starting cylinder in install.cfg so that
partitions begin on appropriate boundaries. The applicable section of
install.cfg looks like the following. My assumption is that I need to
make the changes in the "partition" section. Is this correct? Is the
format of this value the same as a typical fdisk config file?
### Begin install.cfg snippet
disk=\${disk}
partition=all
bootManager=standard
diskPartitionEditor
# root
\${disk}s1-1=ufs 12582912 /
# swap
\${disk}s1-2=swap ${swap} none
# tmp
\${disk}s1-3=ufs 2097152 /tmp 1
# 2 GB var
\${disk}s1-4=ufs 4194304 /var 1
# 2 GB home
\${disk}s1-5=ufs 4194304 /home 1
diskLabelEditor
### End snippet

Take care

Wine-fbsd64 updated to 1.5.7 (32bit Wine for 64bit FreeBSD)
Hi, Packages [1] for wine-fbsd64-1.5.7 have been uploaded to mediafire [2]. The packages for FreeBSD 10 use the pkgng* [3] format. There are many reports that wine does not work with a clang compiled world (help in fixing this problem is appreciated as it affects quite a few users). The patch [4] for nVidia users is now included in the package and is run on installation (if the relevant files are accessible). Please read the installation messages for further information. Regards, David [1] MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd8/wine-fbsd64-1.5.7,1.tbz) = 0178e90ad6cdcdf61d22324c8ccdeab5 MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd9/wine-fbsd64-1.5.7,1.txz) = c658144284981dbc1543365f7d644534 MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd10/wine-fbsd64-1.5.7,1.txz) = 921a5a114cc4feb75446ff491168dca5 [2] http://www.mediafire.com/wine_fbsd64 [3] http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng [4] The patch is located at /usr/local/share/wine/patch-nvidia.sh * pkgng support for nVidia patching should be working properly and using a mixed mode between pkgng and pkg also works signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
