Best way to completely test (non-SMART) drive in NetBSD ?

2024-08-17 Thread vom513
So to be clear, this is vintage hardware, SCSI, and spinning rust. I suppose I could dd random write the entire rdev, reboot, and dd read the entire rdev into /dev/null and watch for device errors ? Is there anything more succinct ? Something in pkgsrc that would be fairly agnostic ? Thanks.

Program giving bus error - but no core dump - best way to gather diag info ?

2024-07-29 Thread vom513
Hello all, I’m fighting with ghostscript on sparc. gs gives a bus error but no core dump. I used ktruss and got the output and got it into a human readable text file. I was wondering though - anything else/better I could do to capture info from this ? I’m planning on opening a bug with the up

10.0 ipv6 "autohost" behavior

2023-11-13 Thread vom513
Hello all, So back a while I had tried out a 10.0 snapshot (before the recent RC1). I noticed that IPv6 didn’t work as it had been for me on 9.3 for example. I was going to post a message/question but never got around it. After installing 10.0 RC1 on a system yesterday, I now see a warning at

Thanks Greg - this certainly helps. A related question if I could… So say instead of using the pkgsrc tarballs I did a CVS clone (checkout ? I’m more familiar with git). Then I build a couple of packages. At some point after this I want to refresh from CVS - is there some top level “make clea

Hello all, A few disclaimers up front: - This is no way intended to be anything negative against NetBSD devs. I 100% appreciate all the hard work in the project. Just trying to understand and “do the right thing” in terms of my systems. - I come from the linux world (don’t shoot !) - so I’m m

Who to contact with a question about netbsd.org mail servers ?

2023-03-26 Thread vom513
Perhaps not the mail servers proper, but rather however/whatever sends out mail from the GNATS PR system. Seems like it will “spoof” the from as myself on some replies ? My DMARC settings for my domain reject this as intended. I would guess other folks would be missing mail as well (or at l
