Re: What are the ideal ranges for kern.ipc.shm*?

After much searching, it would appear to be related to the kern.ipc.shm* values. $ cat /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt4-gui/pkg-message Qt paint engine makes common use of shared memory. To avoid MIT-SHM errors (i.e., blank windows), you probably need to raise shared memory limits in loader.conf(5). The following should be safe values for the KDE Plasma Desktop: kern.ipc.shmall=32768 kern.ipc.shmmni=1024 kern.ipc.shmseg=1024 -- Alberto Villa, FreeBSD committer avi...@freebsd.org http://people.FreeBSD.org/~avilla ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Comment out sbp driver from GENERIC
Hello! It has been reported several times that some motherboards have issues at boot with sbp driver loaded. To hide the problem, the driver was removed from GENERIC in 8-STABLE, but it was left in -CURRENT and it is now going into 9-STABLE. Please, apply the workaround to 9-STABLE also! http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revisionrevision=199112 -- Alberto Villa, FreeBSD committer avi...@freebsd.org http://people.FreeBSD.org/~avilla ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: gptzfsboot and RELENG_7

Is this not the case? I have a 7.2-STABLE built on May 30 and I do not have gptzfsboot in my /boot, only gptboot. I didn't make any changes to the stock Makefiles and used GENERIC kernel config. Do I need to adjust some options for gptzfsboot to get built? no, it's /boot/loader from 8-current which is needed (the one shared on this list works perfectly for me) to build your system with zfs boot support just add LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes to /etc/make.conf -- Alberto Villa villa.albe...@gmail.com ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
