help with getting kernel/userland back in sync

Hi Folks, I recently upgraded a 4.4 system to 4.5. I followed the Upgrade Guide, not using sysmerge. The upgrade went more-or-less ok. After that, I wanted to install the five patches on the 4.5 errata page. I copied src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz (for v4.5) from a mirror, unpacked them in /usr/src,

log rotation

Hi Folks, I use syslog-ng, for which newsyslog seemed to have a few shortcomings. Also, I didn't like the way newsyslog processes each file to be rotated individually, sending a signal to syslogd each time, instead of doing all the rotations, and then sending a single signal. yeah, I read that s

[off topic] proliant DL380 G2 with LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-2

Hi Folks, this is a bit off-topic, I know. I've got a Compaq (HP) ProLiant DL380 G2, which has an on-board Compaq Smart Array RAID controller. Unfortunately, the Smart Array (SA) 5i is not (yet) supported by bioctl(4). Thus I procured an LSI-Logic MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 controller and stuck it in.
