pucdata.c addition
Can someone please add the following definition to pucdata.c? { 0x1415, 0x950a, 0x131f, 0x2032, "SIIG Cyber Serial Dual PCI 16C850 (20x family)", DEFAULT_RCLK * 10, PUC_PORT_4S, 0x10, 0, 8, }, The card is identified as a SIIG CyberSerial Dual (2 ports) is expandable to 4 ports and registers four uart devices with FreeBSD (even without the expansion chip). The chipset is by Oxford Semicondutor (OX16PCI954). The card has a non-standard clock. Thanks.

current status of digi driver
While attempting to upgrade our comm servers from 7.4-RELEASE to 8.2-RELEASE, I discovered that the digi driver didn't make the grade. I searched the archives and found discussions in August 2008 concerning drivers that were disconnected for lack of MPSAFEness. The threads continued right up to the point where it was agreed that the drivers shouldn't be allowed to halt/delay the MPSAFE switch in 8.0-RELEASE. It appears that there was also agreement that (at least) some of the drivers, digi included, would be converted soon after 8.0-RELEASE. The pre-MPSAFE code appears to be included in the most recent -STABLE and -CURRENT, but doesn't get built. The HARDWARE.TXT still includes digi among supported multiport serial device drivers. Is there any plan to bring digi forward? We have about 55 modem ports over ten 8-port Xr cards (PCI) that connect remote sites via dial-up. These work perfectly with 7.4-RELEASE. We would like to see them work perfectly with 8.x-RELEASE or 9.x-RELEASE. I have time and hardware to test with and can help as needed.

missing perl module (p5-Sys-Filesystem) for amd64
This appears to be a problem only in 9.0-current and 9.0-beta1. The perl module p5-Sys-Filesystem appears in i386 but not in amd64. It is part of our automated installation.

new dialog/libdialog testing
Having some time to test 9.0-CURRENT with the new dialog command has uncovered only one major omission (for us): prgbox/dialog_prgbox. This is used in most (if not all) of our installation/management scripts. Was prgbox omitted for any particular reason? I realize that change is inevitable. Is there a better approach to running a program in a window? We like many of the new features presented, but are wary of problems down the road due to the omission of prgrbox. I notice that sysinstall uses dialog_prgbox in 8.1-RELEASE. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

12.0-CURRENT VM image won't mount USB flash drive
Beginning with 12.0-CURRENT VM image: FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20180118-r328126.vmdk.xz and continuing with 12.0-CURRENT VM image: FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20180125-r328383.vmdk.xz when a USB flash drive is present via the attached USB 3.0 controller the console hangs for 10-12 minutes during boot and then emits the error messages seen in the attachment. The UFS filesystem on the USB flash drive cannot be mounted. If the USB flash drive is connected via the attached USB 2.0 controller, everything is good. This problem is not manifested in any 10.4-STABLE or 11.1-STABLE VM images. The host system is CentOS EL7 7.1708. VirtualBox version is 5.2.6. The USB 3.0 controller uses a VIA chipset. System is for test purposes only, so it is easy to try anything that might help resolve this problem. Thanks.

13.0-CURRENT oddity in output of dialog(1)
In 13.0-CURRENT, dialog(1) fills lines shorter than the box width with something other than the background color. In an xterm session, the fill is white. In a console session, the fill is black. This appears to be a regression in the dialog(1) utility not seen in previous (11.2-RELEASE and 12.0-RELEASE) releases.

AUTOFS and NFS not playing together nicely
At the risk of being dubbed insane, here goes: On five FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9 production servers autofs(5) is enabled and working as advertised. On the same servers nfs v3 clients are also fat, dumb and happy. On a test server where autofs(5) is also enabled and working well, I am testing nfs v3 (later v4) server. Strange things are happening. When nfs mountd(8) is running, the autofs(5) auto-mount (via automountd) function seems to work, but the autofs(5) auto-unmount (via autounmountd) never occurs. Without nfs mountd(8), when the filesystem /disc is auto-mounted (via autoumountd), the mount(8) command shows status of (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates, auto-mounted) for the auto-mounted filesystem and after the autofs(5) timeout period (600 seconds) the filesystem is auto-unmounted (via autounmountd). No problem. With nfs mountd(8) the mount(8) command shows (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates). The auto-mounted filesystem is never (a long, long time) unmounted. Big problem. Without nfs mountd(8) running, the mount(8) command "mount -o automounted /dev/ada0p8 /disc" mounts the filesystem and the mount(8) command shows (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates, automounted) for the manually mounted filesystem and after the autofs(5) timeout period (600 seconds) the filesystem is auto-unmounted even though it was not mounted automatically. No problem. With nfs mountd(8), the mount(8) command "mount -o automounted /dev/ada0p8 /disc" mounts the filesystem but the mount(8) command shows (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates) and after the timeout period (600 seconds) the filesystem is remains mounted. Big problem. It appears that nfs mountd(8) is interferring with the mount(8) command's -o option processing but admittedly that is just a very weak SWAG. I have adequate hardware (real and virtual) to do any testing that may be suggested. Most days there is no time constraint either. The /etc/auto_master file is two lines: 1:/net -hosts -nobrowse,nosuid(original) 2:/-/etc/autofs/auto_disc The /etc/autofs/auto_disc file is one line: 1:/disc -fstype=ufs :/dev/ada0p8 Once again, everything works well when nfs mountd(8) is not present in the system.

Analysis(feeble): This Compact Flash card does not support multi-sector transfers required to boot. 5.1-CURRENT is compensating for this effect and continues. 4.9-RC4 punts (returning an error to the BIOS?). The recent delay of 4.9-RELEASE may indicate that there is some small window in which to obtain a fix for this problem in a "STABLE" release (before 5.2).
