 I'm doing the build in AFS using arla, which is not absolutely stable

Why are these files readonly? make world is _supposed_ to write to the
files under /usr/obj. I'm not sure what you mean by readonly, either - if
this is something arla (I don't know what that is either, but I guess it's
related to AFS :) is doing then it sounds like a problem with arla..

Re: how can i ...? what with ipfw?

 Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],
 
   1.  How  can  i  see what namely was changed in files after CVSup is done?
 I can seen at log CVSup, but can see only what files was changed:

Subscribe to the cvs-all mailing list for a description of the changes are
they take place (you could set up procmail to filter out non-stable
commits - see the archives for how to do this). Alternatively, use the
cvsweb interface to the CVS archives on www.freebsd.org.

 2. What happying with ipfw?
 after change rc.firewall, sh rc.firewall, on console i see:
 
 dn_rule_delete, r 0xc09e6e30, default 0xc09e6eb0, 0 matches

This sounds like broken binary compatability - are your kernel and ipfw
binary in sync (i.e. have you built a new kernel and done a make world
with sources of the same date)? ISTR that binary compatability was broken
(and documented as such) between 3.2 and 3.3 or so, you should check the
release notes and UPDATING file each time you update to catch these.

 I just got a kernel panic while telnetted into my machine.  I didn't have
 the console plugged in, and i missed the panic message.  Is there anywhere
 I can get the message?  (I tried dmesg, but that didn't have it).

Unless you have your machine configured to dump state on panic, no. See
the handbook for how to set it up - it's a useful (almost essential)
diagnostic aid.

 That seems odd to me.  My roommate and I share the same cable modem.  We
 are not proxied as each of us have a distinct, and static IP.  @Home

 additional computers.
 The modem is a Mot. Cybersurfer Wave.

Both times I set up cable modems on unix, they had a single IP.  The power
cycle rule applied for the single-IP config on the old (big) motorola, and
the new (small) motorola on Comcast cable system in Baltimore County, MD,
and to the system in Norfolk VA.  

In both cases, we set up a BSD machine with two ethernet cards.  One
connected to teh cable modem directly, the other connected to the LAN (LAN
side is 100mbit too).  The unix machine took on the real IP, and the
100mbit network was configured with NATD (illegally for @home, but who
cares).

No.  There is no limit on how much memory can be allocated via mmap().

There will soon be a resource limit to help determine which process(es) 
to kill when a machine runs out of swap, and someone was working on a
per-user (rather then per-process) overall memory use resource-limit, but
neither yet exists .

Thanks for the response.  Do you imagine that this would be integrated into
stable, or would this be a 4.x branch change only.

More on the crashes already mentioned.

1999-10-04 Thread David Gilbert

In reference to the two crash dumps I've posted, the most interesting
thing about them is that a non-debug kernel seems to be stable on the
box.  I can't really explain why, but we tried all kinds of things --- 
changing hardware... even exchanging whole guts of machines and those
two examples of crashes persisted.

Then in a fit of despairation, I recompiled the kernel w/o debug
symbols and so far (touch wood) the machine has been stable.

Now... the machine has 256M of memory ... so I wouldn't expect that
kernel size *should* be an issue, but something is not right here.

Dave.
