No. STABLE means STABLE API.




If you want stable code you run releases.  Between releases
stable can become unstable.  Think of stable as permanent
BETA code.  Changes have passed the first level of testing
in current which is permanent ALPHA code.



No, this is what it means now. [...]


Why do you say "No" if you mean "Yes, but in former times ..."?

No, just misinterpretation of which attribute of the system to which  
the word "stable" applies.




Do you really think I misinterpreted the meaning of -STABLE? *I* think 
most people misinterprete -STABLE because the first thing that comes to 
mind is runtime stability. The same issue exists in the GNU/Debian Linux 
world: Debian stable doesn't mean that the system run always rock-solid 
and works perfectly, but rather the state of software is stable, i.e. 
maintainers ensure 100% compatibility between updates.

Your best solution may be to use mtools (ports/emulators/mtools) rather

The only way to do this is to have all the other filesystems mounted

is cleared when a filesystem is mounted.  It will be set only if the
filesystem is cleanly unmounted.

unmounting a filesystem safely that doesn't exist anymore

2006-06-10 Thread Björn König

Hello,

I did a mistake: I unplugged my digital camera accidentally before I 
unmounted the filesystem. *doh* This happens very often, because I'm 
very scatterbrained. =) The kernel will panic and all filesystems remain 
unclean in any case now. I know that this is a well know issue and in 
past discussions you stated that this behaviour is intended and won't be 
changed ad hoc. I just want to know if somebody knows a workaround or 
small trick that prevents the other filesystems from being unclean on 
next boot-up.

Yes, the results are slightly better, even the support of amd64 appears

"Fatal trap 12" while debugging a 4.11 kernel with remote gdb

2005-06-28 Thread Björn König

Hello,

I'm trying to debug a FreeBSD 4.11 kernel that has been compiled with

makeoptions DEBUG=-g
options DDB

The remote machine is running FreeBSD 5.4 and I'm using devel/gdb6. I 
have no problems as long as I escape to the debugger after the kernel 
was loaded, but I like to trace something during the initialisation. I 
type 'boot -d', 'gdb' and 's' on the 4.11 machine and the following 
commands on the 5.4 machine:


(kgdb) s
Reply contains invalid hex digit 84
(kgdb) s
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint -1.
Error accessing memory address 0xc02f09a8: Input/output error.

At the same time of the second 'step' this happens with the 4.11 kernel:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address   = 0xf0010502
fault code  = supervisor read, page not present
intruction pointer  = 0x8:0xc02ed6b6
stack pointer   = 0x10:0xc045de3c

= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = Idle
interrupt mask  = net tty bio cam

Does anyone has a hint for me to prevent this?

correct value for LANG variable

2005-01-22 Thread Björn König
I am a bit confused. Neither de_DE.ISO-8859-1 nor
de_DE.ISO8859-1 work properly in all cases.
> setenv LANG de_DE.ISO8859-1
> echo abcdef uvwxyz | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
ABCDEF ÚWXYÝ]
> setenv LANG de_DE.ISO-8859-1
> echo abcdef uvwxyz | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
ABCDEF UVWXYZ
> perl
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
[lot of indignation about locale settings]
I am suspicious that de_DE.UTF-8 would work correct
with most software. Is it the only solution to don't
use localization currently at all or should it be my
ambition to fix this? What should be the correct
value? I would prefer the notation "ISO-8859-1", but
even the almighty perl does not.

Re: [5.3-STABLE] netstat doesn't show tcp sockets

It works fine for me. My world and kernel were compiled with 
"CPUTYPE?=p3" and "CFLAGS= -O -pipe".

Re: standard-supfile = stable-supfile with 5.3 ?

both have

And, eh, why is the filename "standard-supfile" and
why not the more obvious "current-supfile" ?
It only claims, but it doesn't bring you -CURRENT. That's the reason why 
it should not be renamed. The standard-supfile contains the standard tag 
of your release to keep it up to date. Maybe someone will change this 
sentence to 'This file contains all of the "CVSup collections" that make 
up the FreeBSD-stable source tree.' soon.
