Hi,
This is experiences from an upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2.
I know MBR USB keydisk boot worked on 6.0. This is an attempt to
upgrade to 6.2 with UEFI.
A potential error source I have is that that I'm also switching boot
medium from SATA to NVME. NVME as boot medium does not affect the

Hi Stuart, thanks a lot for responding -
The most relevant followup question is probably the one about
why not using boot.conf would work out, at the bottom.

Hi Stuart,
Thanks a lot for your response. I guess you made a point that for any few-users
usecase the default configuration is fine alrady really. If relevant some

Do you see any typical pf.conf or sysctl settings to tweak/speedup
NAT/networking stack throughput?
(On USB2 dongles, sigh.
Current speed is quite OK actually, a client with good hardware would get up to
70mbps through the NAT. I was still curious to know if there are any obvious

Kevin, the simpler answer here is, don't buy Intel (nor AMD).
https://danluu.com/cpu-bugs/ shares some insights here - with respect to low
quality, an Intel ex-employee sums up the low quality as "you have no idea",
and that among other things, Intel "appears to be cutting back on validation

Christoph,
The first thing I see when looking at your report, is that your USB devices
were plugged in via USB3 (XHCI).
Please recompile your kernel with XHCI_DEBUG, and share the debug output here
(and with mpi@) when you have it, when the error happened next time. Ok?

Guys, this is not an OpenBSD thread, so misc@OpenBSD.org is not an appropriate
forum for it. Please do not continue with this thread here.
Hi,
Can I specify the location of core dumps?
So like, a general variant of the kern.nosuidcoredump=2 sysctl.
Having them in /var/crash/ could be a useful way to track crashes in any
programs, maybe.
Ideally I'd like to provide a template string or via other option specify so

Any comments on the security of using X in OpenBSD would be much appreciated,
when running X with machdep.allowaperture=0 , or higher.
This is with background of the general buzz that X is terribly unsecure and
anyone security-minded not even should touch it with a stick, e.g. a userland X

Hi!
Just to get this one clarified, could anyone else give a try for if X driven by
WSFB (that's EFIFB of UEFI) can do screen rotation?
So the steps are, UEFI-boot OpenBSD 6.1 AMD64, use this /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "wsfb"
EndSection

Hi John,

Hi!
Following up on the previous thread on rotating the screen, I tried to rotate
the screen in X.
The first thing i must mention is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf , which was needed as X

Section "Device"

Driver "wsfb"

(Sorry typo, this should read "How do I instruct BOOTX64 to boot from sr0a:/bsd
?", however sr0a:/bsd was spelled correctly above so it was clear enough
already.)

Hi,
Can I rotate the screenbuffer +90, -90, 180 degrees?
Some computers and displays have hardware output prerotated, which needs to be
corrected on the OS level. In all cases X has whole-screen rotation support I
think.
Thanks,

Hi!
Crypto softraid is supported on GPT/UEFI boot and not just on BIOS/MBR boot,
right?
It's supposed to work exactly the same way, just out of the box, the boot code
will ask for typed password or keydisk, right?
Thanks,

Hi!
Any plans for multiqueueing in the disk/fs subsystem?
At least in the current absence of multiqueueing, my benchmarks (made on
/dev/rsd0c) show that 16KB-aligned 16KB accesses are the fastest on the SSD:s I
tested (recent Samsung SATA & NVME).

Dear misc@,
The standard way to install crypto is to go with the "(S)hell" option at boot.
In the MBR days it would be "fdisk -i sd0", now should be with the GPT option
on so "fdisk -ig sd0".
Doing this, importantly, no "EFI Sys" partition is created.
Am I supposed to know how to add that one,
Hi Alex,
Probably the most sensitive spot will be implementing proper Mali chip graphics
support for X.
See this post: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-arm&m=150069580728434&w=2 .
As I understand it, someone implemented an unaccelerated, blob-free graphics
driver for the Mali.
