On a dual SMP AMD 1.9ghz box I'm seeing the vim port somehow corrupt patched files. I really don't have the time or energy to backtrack -current to figure out when or why this started happening. At first I thought it had to deal with pipes, but afaik the vim port doesn't patch files, it just does this: /usr/bin/patch -d /vol/share/ports/editors/vim/work/vim61/ --forward --quiet -E -p0 < $i for each patchfile in the port.

If I had to guess, I would say that it was probably anywhere in the file, and that it had to do with copy-on-write handling with a read-then-write that was split between CPUs. Unfortunately, -current SMP won't run on my ASUS dual P90 any more, so I'm limited to educated guesses. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-smp Fri Aug 23 3:27:12 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5D23037B400; Fri, 23 Aug 2002 03:27:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mgw1-out.MEIway.com (mgw1.meiway.com [212.73.210.75]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8529843E3B; Fri, 23 Aug 2002 03:27:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from LConrad@Go2France.com) Received: from VirusGate.MEIway.com (virus-gate.meiway.com [212.73.210.91]) by mgw1-out.MEIway.com (Postfix Relay Hub) with ESMTP id B17B9EF69E; Fri, 23 Aug 2002 12:17:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: from localhost (localhost.meiway.com [127.0.0.1]) by VirusGate.MEIway.com (Postfix) with SMTP id 3634D5D009; Fri, 23 Aug 2002 12:30:54 +0200 (CEST) Received: from mail.Go2France.com (ms1.meiway.com [212.73.210.73]) by VirusGate.MEIway.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id B85AB5D008; Fri, 23 Aug 2002 12:30:48 +0200 (CEST) Received: from LenConrad.Go2France.com [32.102.132.214] by mail.Go2France.com with ESMTP (SMTPD32-6.06) id AF4E288E019E; Fri, 23 Aug 2002 12:32:46 +0200 Message-Id: <5.1.0.14.2.20020823051720.0ce4c008@mail.Go2France.com> X-Sender: LConrad@Go2France.com@mail.Go2France.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.1 Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 05:26:56 -0500 To: Freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, Freebsd-smp@freebsd.org From: Len Conrad Subject: supermicro boards for SMP Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org One of my clients has or is considering these Supermicro boards for FreeBSD: SUPER P4DLR SUPER P4DC6+ SUPER P4DP8-G2 as built into these boxes: http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer6022L-6.htm http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer6022C.htm http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer6022P-8.htm 1.

No specific experience with those boards, but smp for FreeBSD has worked on everything I've thrown at it.

FRANK LANGA. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. Tel No: Your country Intl. access code + 8821652098236 email : franklanga@rediffmail.com Dear Sir/Madam SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE. Please permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trust worthy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. My name is COL. FRANK LANGA of the Democratic Republic of Congo and one of the close aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace. Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in my country, I and some of my colleagues were instructed by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms and ammunition worth of Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel group. We were then given this money privately by the then President, LAURENT KABILA, without the knowledge of other Cabinet Members. But when President Kabila was killed in a bloody shoot-out by one of his bodyguards a day before we were schedule to travel out of Congo, We immediately decided to put the funds into a private security company here in Congo for safe keeping. The security of the said amount is presently being threatened here following the arrest and seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava (One of the aides to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military Personnel from our same tribe, by the new President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the son of late President Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila. In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who can assist us to move this money out of my country as the beneficiary. WE have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' here to move the fund under Diplomatic Cover to a security company in Europe in your name. This is to ensure that the Diplomatic Baggage is marked ''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance. Our inability to move this money out of Congo all this while stems from our lack of trust of our supposed good friends (western countries) who suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Kabila, immediately after his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, the information We gathered from an associate who has worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us that with your sincere assistance, this transaction will be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks. The said money is a state fund and therefore requires a total confidentiality. We would please need you to stand on our behalf as the beneficiary of this fund in Europe. This is because we are under restricted movement and watch and hence we want to be very careful in order not to lose this fund which we have worked so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist us to move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email addresses, Tel/Fax nos. above with your telephone, fax number and personal information to enable us discuss the modalities and what will be your share (percentage) for assisting us. Please note that There are no RISKS involved in this Deal as everyone's Security is Guaranteed if we follow the required guidelines. I will hence furnish you with further details of this Deal as soon as I am assured of your Sincere interest to assist us. I must use this opportunity and medium to implore you to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily confidential, Whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response. Thank you and God Bless. Best Regards COL. FRANK LANGA (RTD). f_langa22@yahoo.co.uk N\B.
