Yeah. Peter Wemm posted (while he was doing his 4.4 Lite2 merge on current) that when he did the stuff on mount, that this would break any one not running a real recent kernel. This happens fairly often in current, so was in itself unremarkable, but when he did that, I asked him specifically about the smp kernel, and he agreed this would knock out anyone running smp from also doing current. I'm too busy to do what's needed myself, which is a merge of code from the current tree to the smp tree (which is maintained separately, in a completely different cvs tree), but until that gets done, forget about running both smp and current simultaneously. One point: smp is now runnable. When it gets updated, well, it won't be runnable during that time (wasn't last time). In order for you to get smp running again, you're going to have to check out a tree dated before the Lite-2 merge, and do a make world on that. Or maybe just live with the old mount binaries, I don't know how good an idea that would be. I won't have time to do the merge until summer, I hope smp doesn't have to wait until then. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
