It comes down to a decision you and/or your organization must make and that decision will be based on a risk/reward analysis.

Re: FreeBSD Stable production version.
While I participate in this philosophy, a very good point was made on this list that if everyone waits for x.1 , then x.1 will just be riddled with all the bugs that nobody (or only a select few) found in x.0 That is the point that decided me to get 9-STABLE for 2 of our new firewall boxes.

Re: FreeBSD Stable production version.
8.3 or 9.1. Using 9.0 when 9.1 is behind the corner is going backwards IMHO. or 9-STABLE if you want your system evolving up to release, which is nice because you can catch and solve all possible problems one at the time, and not be overwhelmed upgrading only to RELEASE. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/FreeBSD-Stable-production-version-tp5729696p5729739.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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

RE: reboot after panic : page fault for two consecutive days nowwith FreeBSD stable 7.0
I had a similar problem when I tried to use kgdb to diagnose a page fault. I found that it worked fine on another vmcore from the next crash - without any knowledge of the subject, I assume that sometimes when FreeBSD crashed it was unable to write a correct vmcore? Anyway, try it again with other vmcores; I did not specifically enable debugging in the kernel but still got a sensible trace.

FreeBSD STABLE, CURRENT and upgrading
Hi All, I am using FreeBSD since 5.2 RELEASE and I am now running 5.2.1 RELEASE. I upgraded between the two versions from scratch that means I backuped the main configuration files and directories (like home), deleted the old version, installed the new one and reconfigured the whole system. As I see 5.3 is now coming up so I want to avoid this procedure. I have read the handbook, the FAQs and Greg Lehey's book 'The complete FreeBSD'.But I am still quite unsure/confused about some aspects of FreeBSD philosophy. 1) CURRENT and STABLE As I read in the FAQS there are two main development branches: STABLE and CURRENT. At the moment the 4-STABLE is the STABLE-branch and the 5-CURRENT is the current brunch up to the point where it gets STABLE (I think it is 5.3). Then the CURRENT branch will change to 6? Is that right. Then FreeBSD would have two STABLE branches (4 and 5) so what will then be the difference between them? Or will the 4 branch be ended? So I am not quiet sure about this terminology. 2) Updating 5.2.1 As far as I understood there are three parts of the system that have to be upgraded: kernel userland ports So to do the first two ones I am going to use sysinstall (I use a slow internet connection so I have to by the CDs with binary collection). After userland and kernel have been upgraded I need to upgrade my prts/packages. Therefore I copy my binary packages (from the CDs) to /usr/ports/packages/All and first run portversion and then portupgrade -P Is this all for now? 3) Get the latest security patches/packages On the FreeBSD security page I have read about three security patches for the 5.2.1 RELAESE. They only affected the kernel. Running freebsd-update gave me a lot more security hints but for the packages. So am I right believing that the security patches only regard kernel and to get the latest package-updates I have to run freebsd-update? Or is there another possibility?

freebsd-stable packages on freebsd-release-4.9
I upgraded my ports tree with cvsup using . for the release so I would get the latest ports. pkg_add -r downloads packages from freebsd-release-4.9 and portupgrade -aPPR fails because it tries to download packages with version numbers matching the ports tree from the freebsd-release-4.9 directory. Compiling from ports give up to date software. I know that ports only supports freebsd-stable and freebsd- current, so is this what should be happening? Or should pkg_add -r be in synch with ports.

Yours is pointing to the freebsd-4.9 packages Building all of the packages is an enormous task and some mirrors stay closer than others. I use snapshots.jp.freebsd.org for somethings but my ports were updated more recently that snapshots were. I have an AMD-2400+ that is mostly used as a test machine and will rebuild them when I think it is time. Updating the 303 ports that I have installed required just over 12 hours of cpu time. If you have a computer that is faster than 2GHz, you can probably build from ports better than you can find a mirror to download from. When they upgraded KDE to version 3.2.1, I set PACKAGESITE to point to FruitSalad, the home of kde FreeBSD, and did a package update using the -P option. The update using portupgrade -puf was only 20% slower than the system using FruitSalad. A 3GHz machine would eliminate the difference. The download speed from FruitSalad varied all of the way from 8KB/s to 40+KB/s. I don't know what I would see on a really good connection with no interference.

bug in bootpd for FreeBSD-Stable ?

I even used fsck and check all the partitions to make sure they are clean. But still can't boot from it. fsck will not necessarily notify you if there are hardware read errors somewhere on the drive. It just makes sure the filesystem areas are consistent and readable, not the data. If you use dd to read the whole disk, say # dd if=/dev/ad1s1a of=/dev/null bs=128k and it completes successfully, then it might be not a hardware fault, but something else. I'm sorry to say, but recently I had a power failure and it damaged my 80G Seagate (and FreeBSD gives pretty much the same errors when attempting to access the damages sectors).

I know there's this message in /usr/src/UPDATING, which unfortunately does not clear up the matter for me. So let me recap what I believe to understand: For utilizing the advantages of this HyperThreading stuff for users, I need in the kernel configuration: optionsSMP# Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel optionsAPIC_IO# Symmetric (APIC) I/O Furthermore, I need to set machdep.hlt_logical_cpus to 0 (zero). How do I add this to the loader so that it is set to zero at every boot up? Should I simply add to my /boot/loader.conf a line like: machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 After that, I'm done with the hyperthreading? Thanks, Rob. PS: if you're in the mood, I would appreciate a few words on what this HyperThreading is about and what advantages I can expect.

Need help: HyperThreading-CPU + FreeBSD-Stable + Multi-threading
Hello, Recently I've got a new PC: P4 Titan 2.6 GHz. It says in the brochure that it has HyperThreading, which I think is somehow related to the HyperThread thing in the FreeBSD kernel, right? I know there's this message in /usr/src/UPDATING, which unfortunately does not clear up the matter for me. So let me recap what I believe to understand: For utilizing the advantages of this HyperThreading stuff for users, I need in the kernel configuration: optionsSMP# Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel optionsAPIC_IO# Symmetric (APIC) I/O Furthermore, I need to set machdep.hlt_logical_cpus to 0 (zero).

File System Limits on FreeBSD-stable
Hi all, What are the file system, file size limits for FreeBSD-stable? I understand that there is a 2TB file system limit, but what about the file size? I have a friend who cannot create a file over 2GB. Should he be able to? Does 5.x handle this differently?

I am not sure exactly what limit is for file size (among other things it depends on the block size used), but, just as for file system size, the limit is in the TB-range. It is most certainly possible to create files larger than 2GB. If your friend is unable to, he is doing something wrong.
