Hello BSDaemons!
I have two machines: "Source-code" machine, and a "non-Source" machine.
Trying to do a "make installworld"
from "non-Source" machine,
using the '/usr/src' and '/usr/obj' directories on the "Source" machine.
I encounter an error.

HOW I ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE UPDATE
-----------------------------------
"Source code" machine is running 2.2.8-Stable as of 99-01-09,
with rebuilt kernel.
#pwd
/usr/src
#make buildworld (This seems OK)
#make installworld (This seems OK)
"Non-source" machine is running 2.2.7-Stable as of 99-11-09.
#mount (source machine hostname):/usr/src /usr/src
#mount (source machine hostname):/usr/obj /usr/obj
(These seeem to be OK)
#pwd
/usr/src
#make installworld
(some things seem to install OK)
(error)
Also tried:
#make reinstall
(same trouble as 'installworld')
----------------
PREVIOUS SUCCESS
----------------
I was able to do this in November (which is how I upgraded the non-source
machine from 2.2.6-Release to 2.2.7-Stable).
Any direction, suggestions, or comments are welcome.

Within a few minutes of this posting I started reading thru my "-Current" mailing list,
and saw a similar question posted there (regarding -Current, not -Stable).
What I did a few weeks ago on my "source code" machine was to set
NOPROFILE=true
as recommended in one of the on-line FreeBSD tutorials.
I understand what this does, and what 'profiling libraries' are.
However I did not set that also on my 'non-source' machine.
This problem, and solution were discussed on the -Current Mailing List.
I changed my (non-source)/etc/make.conf to read
NOPROFILE=true
and it my 'make installworld' is running fine right now.
I should have thought more about the name 'libalias_p.a' (_p as in 'profiling'),
and may have remembered the 'NOPROFILE' change that I made earlier to the 'source machine'.
I regret any inconvenience that my question has caused.
I appreciate the excellent quality of FreeBSD, and the friendly cooperative spirit of
many FreeBSDers. I hope to contribute to the FreeBSD effort in the future.

On a non-SMP P5 or later system RDTSC is a cheap and accurate
alternative. [The problem on SMP systems is that the TSCs aren't
synchronised so you need to know which CPU you are on to use it].
On 3.x, both microtime() and nanotime() will use RDTSC (and not
perform any ISA bus cycles) if a working TSC is found, SMP is not
defined and either it isn't an APM BIOS, or APM isn't compiled into
the kernel. The actual clock being used, together with the lowest
level overhead of calling it, is reported by default during boot, eg
'Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz cost 2376 ns'
On 2.x, microtime() will use RDTSC if support for 586/686 is compiled
in and a working TSC is found.

Note that the TSC can't be relied upon, even if no APM BIOS was found.
The default timecounter code in current can detect when the assumptions
it's making about the progression of time are faulty, but Poul didn't
want to make the compensation for this (which it can also make) either
the default or automatic. Talk to him about that.

I apologize for exaggerating. It's more like FreeBSD-2.1.

Well... currently, Dave Mills has stated that they aren't maintaining
xntpd any longer; any updates are through patches they've accepted,
but have not necessarily done testing on. ntpd-4.0.91 appears
sufficiently stable that they're going to make it into ntpd-4.1 and an
official 'release' pretty soon.

Any help ?

Hello, Mike,
About a month ago you wrote the above mentioned message.
I could not get it loading from the second slice of the same disk
in the configuration where two different versions of FreeBSD reside on
one hard drive on different slices.
I think I might be missing something.
Let me also ask you what you meant by talking about having the bootstrap
"on both slices".
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the bootstrap is installed
on a disk, and not per slice.
Another question - how do you specify in the /etc/boot.config -
which slice to boot up from ?
Thanks,
Igor

Let's put it this way. Their version of xntpd is much better supported

Well it's too late to do anything with 2.2-Stable. Therefore
contrib'ifying the release of ntpd for 3.something would be the way to
go at this point.

Hello,
I have asked approx. the same question one month ago (and I don't have
the messages)
There were two interesting answers (one was from Gerg Lehey)

Hi
I am tinkering with "make release" and it gives up on the
following command
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 FAQ*.html
/R/stage/trees/doc/usr/share/doc/ru/FAQ
After a bit of digging I see that
/R/stage/trees/doc/usr/share/doc/ru does not exist, it seems
that this is why the command fails.
I have followed FAQ 13.2 and have sec-all sec-eBones src-secure
src-crypto ports-all www doc-all in my supfile. I am using
RELEASETAG=RELENG_2_2.
Any suggestions?

I was trying to add a user named '2grnflcn' to my system via
/stand/sysinstall and was given the error that this user already exists.
I checked with vipw to make sure I wasn't being absent minded, and the
user is not there. If there is a valid reason this account can't exist,
then sysinstall needs to give a more informative response.
My system was updated prior to compile on:
FreeBSD shadows.ghostwheel.com 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #9: Sun Jan
10 10:43:20 PST 1999
merlin@shadows.ghostwheel.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SHADOWS i386
A manual useradd worked correctly with the same information.

Hi,
I installed FreeBSD 3.0 on /dev/wd0s1 and did a "disklabel -B /dev/wd0s1"
for the new bootloader. Then I installed 2.2.8 also on /dev/wd0s2
(because I encountered a lot of "cannot make makefiles errors" while
compiline ports which use imake, like xv and xpaint, installing 2.2.8
solves this problem, anyone?)
For default loading the kernel from the 2.2.8 partition I specified in
/boot/boot.conf on the 3.0 partition this:
set rootdev=disk2s2a:
set currdev=disk2s2a:
Maybe you have another disk number, but check this maualy by breaking the
boot process, the prompt shows the current disk number.

The error is somewhere in pw(8) - from a quick point of view it
seems as if pw will assume that a user with a loginname starting
with a digit has that UID, so in your case pw (which is called by
sysinstall) found that the user you specified already existed and
had the the UID 2.
This clearly is a bug, you might file a PR on this topic.
I'll have a closer look at pw tomorrow (unless I see somebody
having fixed it by then).

Subject: scsiformat timeout
Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG
I'm having a problem with scsiformat in 2.2.8-release.
/sbin/scsiformat is an sh script that issues the command:
scsi -s 28800 -f $RAW -c "4 0 0 0 0 0"
where $RAW is something like /dev/rsd1.ctl. The problem seems to be
that 28800 seconds (8 hours) is too long. Between 2.2.7 and 2.2.8,
this number was bumped up from 14400 in response to PR 7803 which
complained that 14400 was too small and cited an example disk that
takes >4 hours to format.
Anyway, when I run scsiformat on a zip100 disk (scsi drive), the
command returns immediately with this message:
# scsiformat -q -w sd1
IOMEGA
ZIP 100
E.11
This will destroy all data on this drive!
Hit return to continue, or INTR (^C) to abort:
Formatting... this may take a while.
SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl: Command accepted.
return status 1 (Command Timeout) after 28800000 msCommand out (6 of 6):
04 00 00 00 00 00
No sense sent.
#
And this appears on the console (when I get out of X windows):
sd1(ahc0:3:0): SCB 0x0 - timed out in command phase,
SCSISIGI == 0x84 SEQADDR = 0x48 SCSISEQ = 0x12
SSTAT0 = 0x7 SSTAT1 = 0x2
sd1(ahc0:3:0): abort message in message buffer
sd1(ahc0:3:0): SCB 0 - Abort completed
sd1(ahc0:3:0): no longer in timeout
I tried running scsi directly and fiddled with the -s (timeout) parameter.
Turns out that any number greater than 22000 produces the above error
and anything smaller than 21000 works fine (takes about 9 min to format).
Now, this is no tragedy because I can always run scsi directly or edit
the scsiformat script on my system. But I am wondering just what is
the problem.
Is 28800 really too large, or does it work on some systems?
Does this vary by controller or disk? Don't blame the zip disk; I get
the same error with my old Seagate ST31200N (1 gig, from June 94).
I have a PPro 166, ASUS 440FX mobo and Adaptec 2940-UW controller
(about 2 years old). Nothing special in the kernel:
controller ahc0
controller scbus0
device sd0
device cd0
options SCSI_DELAY=3

Cisco seems to think that FreeBSD supports ethernet trunking, where
multiple fxp cards in the machine connect to multiple 100BaseT ports on
the switch and all appear as 1 "port" at 100/200/300/400 MB/s.
Is this actually supported in stable? If so how do you set it up?
Carl.

I did get it slightly wrong though, It was a magazine, Asia-Pacific Data
Communications, December 1998 issue, page 64/65, that says both Intel and
Phobos make cards with Fast Etherchannel support that is supported under
FreeBSD.
The Cisco website above only mentions Phobos and FreeBSD, but the Phobos
website just says 'email for other operating systems'.

Hrm. Maybe they're confused. I believe Intel has drivers for the EtherExpress
Pro 100 series that support EtherChannel, but I don't know of native FreeBSD
support.

That smells like they support EtherChannel on their 4 port card with a custom
driver, but I could be wrong.

See ftp://ftp.flirble.org/pub/unix/hacks/FreeBSD/mpath. This work is
still in progress; one thing that would be good for this would be
doing packet output to the least-loaded interface, instead of via the
current round-robin method.

I haven't seen anything recently from Phobos; I'd hope that Kevin Van
Maren can comment more on this. Certainly I understood that Phobos
intended their Phobos Link code to run on FreeBSD. Whether it's
available or not yet I'm not sure.

Rebuild the entire libc and do 'make install'.

If you want to find out for sure, email chris.bodily@phobos.com, and
tell him I sent you. More announcments from Phobos are certain to
appear in the next few months, some of which will be FreeBSD related.

Hi,
Several months ago I noticed that when I telneted to my FreeBSD machine,
telnetd responded normally, but then kick me off just prior to getting a
logic prompt. I've looked into the problem on and off, but didn't
really understand what was going on. Since I didn't see anything in the
mail archives on this problem, I figured I had configured something
incorrectly. Finally, I got desperate and did a new installed
2.2.8-STABLE from the CDs. The telnet problem was still there, so I dug
into it. I guessed that my /etc/issue file was too long and
experimented with a test file. I found that the /etc/issue file must
contain no more than 1011 bytes for telnetd to work. telnetd sort of
works when /etc/issue contains 1012 bytes but generates alot of ptyflush
char errors. If the /etc/issue files contains more than 1012 bytes,
telnetd kicks out just before giving a login prompt. I briefly looked
at the source for telnetd, but didn't see anything obvious. This
problem does not exist in 3.0-RELEASE, and I haven't done a diff between
telnetd.c in 2.2.8 and 3.0 to see what is different in handling the if
capability. But having gotten this far, I thought I'd inform the list.

Perhaps the wrong forum for this, but I'm not a subscriber to
freebsd-bugs.
The manual page for setpgid(2) is wrong. It claims the target process
must either be a child of the invoker OR have the same effective
user-id.
That is wrong. If the target is not a child of the process, setpgid(2)
will return ESRCH (see kern_prot.c).
I believe the manual is correct and the kernel code is wrong. Frequently
in industrial situations, an "area controller" process on a particular
CPU will spawn a number of sub-processes that perform various tasks
such as control special devices. One of the tasks of the "area
controller" is to reap its children and re-spawn them should they
unexpectedly abort.
So far no problem. However, in a situation where the "area controller"
aborts and is restarted (usually manually), it may want to reclaim its
original children to the process group so it can once again reap
the SIGCHLD signals. To do so it must insert the children into
its new process group via setpgrp. No can do.
Comments?

I've been working on some code that does a non-blocking socket connect().
According to the manpage and Stevens's UNP 2nd Ed., connect() should
return EINPROGRESS if the connection isn't able to be established
immediately. -stable returns EAGAIN instead. EAGAIN appears to be an
invalid return value for connect(). This problem doesn't appear to exist
under -current.
Is this the sort of thing that is likely to get fixed in the 2.2.x branch
at this point, or is this too insignificant to fix now?
Thanks,
Jason

The 2.2.x branch is escentially dead. I suppose someone might commit a
security fix of some sort, but no further releases will be made from it.

I have a GDB manual from 1989 (version 3.4) that I generated in a
prior lifetime. I set out to do the same thing for the version of
GDB (4.16) that is part of FreeBSD. This is on a 2.2.8-Stable system.
I successfully built TeX and MetaFont. I built dvips. I built
Ghostscript and integrated it with my printer spooler.
I generated "refcard.ps" from the distributed "refcard.dvi" and
printed it.
So, emboldened, I went to /usr/src/contrib/gdb/gdb/doc to try to
make the manual. However, it was clear from the existance of
"Makefile.in" and "configure.in" without their matching files that
"configure" had not been run for this build. Apparently not
necessary for a "make world". However, a "./configure" from
/usr/src/contrib/gdb fails. First being unable to locate a "install-sh".
If I copy one of those into its path from some other GNU directory
it then fails with a missing "config.sub" file.
Should the -stable tree be able to build GNU documentation from any of
the subdirectories?
What steps should I take to generate a current GDB manual?
