Re: Updated to latest master and have a problem
My bad, I was using ad4s1a for root, then found its actually ad4s1d. Ive booted now and im trying to get kdm/Xorg to start. Any ideas? It gives me IO Error in XOpenDisplay. Petr
Updated to latest master and have a problem
Hi all, Ive updated my machine to the latest master to try devfs. Ive run buildworld,installworld,buildkernel,installkernel and make upgrade and then restarted and I get the mountroot prompt saying this: hammer_mount: volume /dev/ad4s1b has an invalid header Root mount failed: 79 mountroot> What did i do wrong and what can I do to fix this? Was I supposed to rm /dev before running make upgrade or something like that? Petr

Re: PF on dragonflybsd
The biggest difference, apart from our PF being fairly old, is that keep state is not the default. But we have a directive to set the default (I think OpenBSD doesn't). So in a DragonFly pf.conf you would say (near the top): set keep-policy keep state (pickups) And then keep state would be the default. pickups is a DragonFly directive which I don't know if OpenBSD picked up or not (heh). It fixes the problem of rebooting the router box running PF causing all TCP connections going through the router to drop. Without it keep state on the TCP connections will throw existing connections away because it doesn't see the SYNs or know the TCP window size. DragonFly's PF also has a fair-share scheduler (which I wrote). -Matt

I do not think the ksplice concept will work well in practice, except for very simple patch sets which involve only minor code changes. OS modifications often involve adjusting structures and it is not possible to splice a structural change into a running kernel. Because of this I think it is going to be more trouble then its worth. -Matt Matthew Dillon
