SCSI_DELAY in the code didn't change between 9.1[1] and 9.0[2] neither did it in the configuration for the GENERIC kernels[3][4]. On both occasions (9.0 and 9.1) I used the GENERIC kernels and I didn't change this setting. I will give it a try as soon as I can, but it still seems a little strange to me that this process takes longer in 9.1 for no apparent reason Thanks.

Re: Suddenly Seeing Clamav Errors After MailScanner Update
Hi Tim, Double check what user clamd is run as, and what permissions your mail spool have. Somewhere along the line your mail spool locked out clamd The lstat system call's man page says `execute (search) permission is required on all of the directories in path that lead to the file.` Also, don't just go "chmoding -R 777"!

FreeBSD's sh(1) knows (because "[" is a built-in) that when you quote a parameter, that it is not (even if the value begins with "-") not an operator. So doing things like: foo=-gt if [ "$foo" = "" ]; then or foo=-gt if [ -z "$foo" ]; then or if [ ! "$foo" ]; then or even the following (flipping the conditional): if [ "$foo" != "" ]; then if [ -n "$foo" ]; then if [ "$foo" ]; then All work as expected.

Suddenly Seeing Clamav Errors After MailScanner Update
I am working on a FBSD 9.1-STABLE mail machine that's been working fine. After upgrading to MailScanner 4.84.5_3, we are now suddenly seeing like this: Clamd::ERROR:: UNKNOWN CLAMD RETURN ./lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR :: /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/68340 Any ideas what might cause this? I have fallen back to the previous MailScanner.conf file wherein the problem does NOT seem to happen. But, after diffing old and new config files I cannot see where anything relevant to this might have changed.

I may be one of the few people left who use x11-toolkits/open-motif on
the FreeBSD desktop, but be that as it may, there is a bug that needs
to be fixed in the /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/files/ directory.
In May 2013 this directory included this file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3487 May 2 13:08 extra-dix_events.c
I upgraded my ports on a nearly identical system on May 23 and
again on June 5th of 2013:
unix% ll /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/files/
total 40
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Jun 5 11:20 .

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 551 May 23 12:19 pkg-install.in
The lack of the extra-dix_events.c patch file caused using my three
button USB mouse with x11-toolkits/open-motif to fail. Note: all ports
were rebuilt on Jun 5th after running "svn update /usr/ports" from within
/usr/ports.
Once the mouse failed, all I could do was CTRL-ALT-BS and revert to
virtual terminals - not a very good desktop substitute.
It turns out that the last patch segment of extra-dix_events.c was omitted
(along with the entire patch file itself):
@@ -3632,7 +3583,8 @@ CheckPassiveGrabsOnWindow(
{
FixUpEventFromWindow(device, xE, grab->window, None, TRUE);
- TryClientEvents(rClient(grab), device, xE, count, mask,
+ TryClientEvents(rClient(grab), device, xE, count,
+GetEventFilter(device, xE),
GetEventFilter(device, xE), grab);
}
The lack of this last patch segment was the cause of my problems with mwm
(part of the x11-toolkits/open-motif port) but it did not impact other
window managers such as FVWM which may be why this patch was overlooked.

Re: With fresh 9.1 install, bash completion no longer expands "$HOME"
Re: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2013-June/251607.html This has nothing to do with FreeBSD 9.0 vs. 9.1 other than the fact that the package on 9.0 is older than 9.1. Instead, this has everything to do with the difference between bash versions you're using. Remember: packages and ports 99% of the time are third-party software (in this case GNU), and therefore any changes in behaviour between versions are entirely independent of FreeBSD. The feature you like from bash 4.1 was removed in some manner of speaking in bash 4.2. This prompted a user to complain -- please read the thread (not just the post) in full, because you will see there are others who *do not* like this behaviour: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-02/msg00274.html In bash 4.2.29 -- which is technically "patch 029 for bash 4.2" -- the feature you desire got moved into a shopt feature called "direxpand", with the default being disabled. Because bash 4.3 is not out yet, you will not find any mention of this in the official bash CHANGES file at this time. Instead, you will find the answer in the official bash42-029 patch itself (read the top): ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2-patches/bash42-029 If you do not like this default, or feel strongly about this whole thing and want to discuss it, the GNU bug-bash mailing list is the place: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ To enable direxpand, use "shopt -s direxpand".

With fresh 9.1 install, bash completion no longer expands "$HOME"
On my 9.0-based machines, if I typed $HOME[tab] when typing a command in bash, the $HOME would be overwritten by the actual path to my home directory (the value of $HOME) and tab completion would work as expected. After a fresh 9.1 install, this does not work as well. $HOME is still detected by completion, but it is not expanded after pressing tab (this does not matter to me), but also an extra space is inserted after tab. For example, if I have a directory named src under my home directory, and my working directory is an unrelated directory, and I type cd $HOME/sr[tab]: Under 9.0: cd /home/dcaldwell/src/[cursor] Under 9.1: cd $HOME/src [cursor] So under 9.1 I lose the slash and see a space instead, essentially, which renders this not very useful. If I use ~ rather than $HOME, it works correctly under both. Obviously I could probably learn to type ~ rather than $HOME but it would be a hard habit to break after years. :) For bash (and for most software) I am using binary packages from the -release distribution, so my 9.0 machines have 4.1.11 and my 9.1 machines have 4.2.37. I don't know enough about all the moving parts to know where to start tracking this down, so can someone point me in the right direction? (Unless there's an known problem or change I'm missing.) I can't figure out where completion is configured in bash outside the /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ directory, which incidentally on my 9.1 setup contains: $ ls /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/ dbus-bash-completion.sh*gdbus-bash-completion.sh* gsettings-bash-completion.sh* Thanks, -- David Caldwell http://www.davidpcaldwell.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
