QA ramping up...

Sorry for the cross-post, but I expect that this will have multiple audiences. Based on a lot of messages traveling in the -stable mailing list, we're once again looking at putting together some volunteers to do QA on the upcoming 3.4 release, as well as working on testing new features and rep

Test code...

Anyone have any suggestions (or feel like writing) code to exercise the following subsystems? - Virtual Memory - The threads library - mmap() and friends We want to try to bang on them a little more for 3.4 than we have in the past. -Brian To Unsubscri

writing to an mmap()'ed region requires read access?

1999-11-30 Thread Brian J. McGovern
I was just playing with mmap() really for the first time, and I noticed something a bit odd. When you mmap() a file for writing, it also appears to require that you give it read permissions, else it dies on a signal 10. Any reason for this? (I'm using 3.3-STABLE (11/30/99) with the following progr

Hey, guys. I went a slightly different route than playing with the numlock key to get FreeBSD running. The problem seems to really be the -P (probe the keyboard) boot option, and it setting -D and -h when it doesn't find it. My "workaround" was to make boot floppies, and edit boot.conf to remove

Just an FYI. I don't know if this is a bug or not, so I'll let others decide On a 7/17 -STABLE snapshot, I'm running an Athlon 700 w/640MB of RAM (1x512MB + 1x128MB). I've got X going, and I'm running cvsup, etc. I'm down to 165MB of Free memory (as reported by top). The strange thing is the

All, I've done some hacking on bootparamd to support multiple subnets (along with applying some patches to allow some Sun-specific behavior) that I'm using for jumpstarting Solaris/Sparc boxes across a boatload of small subnets. The most obvious change is adding a -R parameter, th
