I have never seen this, neither with clang-compiled nor gcc-compiled
systems. Can you please verify if it still occurs if you build your
system with gcc? If you don't want (or can) rebuild the whole system,
you can try to rebuild just your kernel with gcc, and see if the
problems disappear.
Originally I
thought the problem was with specific programs, then I narrowed it down
to file I/O, and now I've narrowed it down to open() with O_TRUNC.
Without O_TRUNC there seems to be no issues whatsoever. With O_TRUNC on
open() it fails with that 'Unknown error: -512' every other time you
run
the program. Common issues, portsnap is affected, making it impossible
to fetch/extract ports. As well as redirecting output in shells eg
`echo
'hi'> test` fails every other try. You have the same issue with text
editors like `edit` where it fails every other save. There are no
issues
with `echo 'hi'>> test` as there is no O_TRUNC, it only seems to be an
O_TRUNC error.
I have been running clang-compiled systems for a long time now, and have
never seen this. It works fine here, I cannot reproduce any of your
examples.
Do you build with any special settings in make.conf or src.conf,
particularly modified CFLAGS or COPTFLAGS? What is your architecture,
i386 or amd64? Any other non-standard configuration or environment
settings?
Dimitry,
I will try to build with gcc sometime today. I might as well try out a
different filesystem too.
I have no special settings besides CPUTYPE?=native, but there was
someone with a similar error who did not specify a cpu type when
building, so I know that isn't a problem. Arch is amd64, no other
nonstandard configuration.

I just did a clang build with CPUTYPE?=native and the unknown error
issue has seemed to calm down a large amount. I still occasionally get
it, but given multiple attempts at say compiling software, it will move
on and all will be well. It is for sure not happening every other
O_TRUNC, but it is still happening. Depending on system configuration,
this still could cause some major issues for people. I'll keep my eye
out and see what changes and try to figure out how to duplicate the
issue on the new rev.
