This would just be the git target. I may be oversimplifying this in my mind I worry that if something bad happens to mirror-master/avalon right at a release, it would cause a headache. To eliminate that future headache, we'd need either a bunch more hosts or more DNS flexibility.
Re: HAMMER and bad disk sectors
:Do you think it might be useful to have a bad block table? It may take :days for a new hard drive to arrive, and sometimes the only choice is to :keep the box running for the time being. : :Petr I don't think it would be useful. Even with UFS/FFS the bad block handling has mostly been removed over the years. A bad block tends to be a precursor to a dead disk, if the system is important you need to replace the disk immediately and not try to baby it along. If the bad block happens to appear in the middle of file data the filesystem might survive but if it appears anywhere else that can spell doom. Basically trying to implement a bad block handling feature in the filesystem to cover all the possible cases where a bad block can interfere with an operation is (almost) an exercise in futility. It takes a lot of man-hours, it is hard to test to make sure it actually works as advertised, and there are tons of possible situations and cases. It just isn't worth the effort in my view. -Matt Matthew Dillon
Re: Avalon maintainance update
I'd rather not change the DNS, it could create confusion for the mirrors. And it will probably confuse the hell out of crater and pkgbox64 too. -Matt

Is it worth changing the DNS for git.dragonflybsd.org, temporarily? That way nothing confuses the mirrors, but 'make src-update' and friends work.
Avalon maintainance update
Avalon will be down all of this week for maintainance. It is getting a new storage subsystem. We expect to be able to get it back into a rack mid-next-week or so. In the mean the time the mirrors have a snapshot of the recent bulk builds and the src and pkgsrc repos can be accessed from the master site, crater.dragonflybsd.org. Our other mirrors will likely be a bit out of date on src and pkgsrc as they typically mirrored from avalon. -Matt Matthew Dillon

Based on 'pkg_info -L xdm' - looks like: /usr/pkg/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession is the one ? I've built & installed - but have actually never configured on modular X / pkgsrc - let us know if so! cheers, - Chris
