To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE seems to be broken since todays's cvsupdate Message-ID: <20020809212728.K970-100000@klima.physik.uni-mainz.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello out there. I did this morning AND in the later evening (last at 1800 CEST) a cvsupdate and did a make world, mergemaster and a new kernel like yesterday morning. After rebooting our SMP and UP servers the whole system remained into a unusuable state: network performance drops below a painful number, ping to other FreeBSD machines shows a lot of losses. ssh was not able - every ssh connect got a timeout. NIS/YP seems to be slow, also httpd and SAMBA: inaccessible! I saw in the last cvsupdate logs that many things in kernel and ypserver has been changed. After switching from SMP to UP on all machines the situation remained critical. Then I decided to change back via date tag in cvsupdatefile to 2002.08.06.19.00.00 and recompiled only the kernels - switched back to SMP enable on our SMP machines - and, voila, all things run well as expected. It seems to me that there is some 'buggy code' in the newest sources, but I do not know what. I also read in the mailing list that the next cvsupdates should be delayed for a week due to bad code? I offer no dmesg output or something else due to the fact STABLE seems to be in an instable 'mood' these days. If it is of interest, I will offer you our kernel configs and dmesg outputs.
