Re: less and vi fail on file whose name begins with +

Yes, that works, as does "less ./+DESC".

Somehow I thought I had successfully done "less +CONTENTS" successfully before, 
but I must have preceded filename by path.

Less and vi failing when used directly on filename beginning with + is also 
true for Linux, I checked on Slackware 13.0.

Thanks to you and others for helpful responses.

8.2 ->8.3 regression on disk writes

2012-07-16 Thread Michael Ross

Hello,

using 8.2 the machine runs fine,
using 8.3 or higher, not so much.

In laymans terms,
if I do "too many" writes/time just once, the machine can't do any disk  
access for a couple of hours.


As in: What's already running stays running, no crashes or anything,
but as soon as I need to read from disk (login, start program not cached  
in memory from previous run),

I'm all out of luck.
I killed the testing ftp-transfer about 15 seconds after the transfer  
speed dropped,

now I'm waiting for 10+ minutes for ``top'' to start.


I can install ports and kernels and world fine,
but "ezjail-admin install" or transferring a few GB of files from another  
machine sends it to limbo.


The next step would likely be to go through the kernel changes between 8.2  
and 8.3 to narrow it down,

I'd appreciate pointers as to what kernel changes to look out for,
or other suggestions on what to do.

Verbose dmesg: http://gurder.ross.cx/misc/dmesg.txt

TIA,

Michael


Postscript: That's the same problem I wrote about in "Trouble with gmirror  
and device ada",
turns out using gmirror just makes the problem appear much faster as  
opposed to eventually.

You have some strangeness there:

I see:

"real memory  = 17179869184 (16384 MB)"
"avail memory = 2050920448 (1955 MB)"

So even though you have 16GB ram your only using 2GB of it which
will likely cause slowness under ZFS including disabling prefetch

"ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default if less than 4GB of
RAM is present; to enable, add "vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0" to
/boot/loader.conf."

Is this a VM or something?

   Regards
   Steve

Graphics Performance with the new KMS Driver...

2012-07-16 Thread Pierre-Luc Drouin
Hi,

I just installed FreeBSD 9-stable on a new desktop machine equipped with an
i3 2120 CPU (HD Graphics 2000). I compiled xorg with WITH_NEW_XORG=true and
WITH_KMS=true, following the instructions on
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU . Xorg seems to be running without
crashing and I have confirmed that direct rendering is enabled using
glxinfo, which is great. However, I only get about 9 fps with GLPlanet and
I can't play (non-HD) Youtube videos fullscreen on a 1080p monitor without
severe noticeable hangs. I was wondering if it is normal to observe this
not so great performance. I could not do a direct comparison on the same
machine unfortunately, but I get a drastically better graphics performance
with GLPlanet from my laptop running Gentoo and equipped with an i7 2860QM
CPU (HD Graphics 3000). I get a frame rate of about 60 fps fullscreen on a
1080p monitor with that laptop.

So basically I would be interested to know:
-Is it normal to obtain that kind of performance from these i3 CPUs when
running FreeBSD?
-How does the graphics performance compare between Linux and FreeBSD with
the new KMS driver?

Thanks!

MFC for ZFS fix?

2012-07-16 Thread Chris Lee
I've been seeing a panic on my FreeBSD/ZFS server (running 9-STABLE
built on 6/28), where the relevant line appears to be:

avl_find() succeeded inside avl_add()

I found a patch pjd committed to trunk (r230454), which apparently was
supposed to be MFC'd a week later, but it doesn't appear to be in
FreeBSD 9-STABLE yet. I rebuilt my kernel with this patch applied and
the server has been fairly stable for over 24h now, and the things I
was doing that caused it to kernel panic previously are now working
fine. The filesystems were created with 'zfs recv' from an older
OpenSolaris installation.

Any chance this might make it into FreeBSD for 9.1?

The MFC process...

2012-07-16 Thread Trent Nelson

There are currently no automated MFC systems in place, correct?  I.e. the
onus is completely on the developer that made the change to head to merge
back to stable?  Do the RELENG team do anything in particular to check
that changes for MFC actually make it back to stable?

Reason for asking, I noticed a bit of disparity between dev/isp between
head and stable/9:

% svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible \
 svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/isp \
 svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9/sys/dev/isp
r227126
r227548
r228914
r237210
r237537
r237544
r238486

I'm currently running a local tree with those revs merged in manually
(simply via `svn merge svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/isp .` in
/usr/src/sys/dev/isp), but it'd be nice to get them into 9.1, as they're
all past their recommend soak time (except for that last one, which is a
typo fix).

Anyway, that got me thinking about the MFC process, especially leading up
to another release, hence this e-mail.  What's the preferred way for
non-committers to bring outstanding MFCs to the attention of committers?

Regards,

Trent.

We are currently in a code freeze for 9.1 so no unapproved MFCs may be
committed.

FreeBSD 9.1-BETA1 Available...

2012-07-16 Thread Ken Smith

The first test build of the 9.1-RELEASE release cycle is now available
on the FTP servers for amd64, i386, powerpc64, and sparc64.  The
MD5/SHA256 checksums are at the bottom of this message.  The ISO images
and, for architectures, that support it, the memory stick images are
available here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/

(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).

We hope this will be the only BETA build, to be followed by two Release
Candidate builds and then the release itself.  The original schedule is
available here:

  http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html

but we're a bit behind schedule already.  I'll adjust the schedule
within the next couple of days.

If you notice any problems you can report them through the normal Gnats
PR system or here on the -stable mailing list.

If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to do a source-based
update of an existing system the branch tag to use is "RELENG_9".
If you would like to use SVN instead use "stable/9".  Note that if you
do an update that way the system will call itself "9.1-PRERELEASE".

Sounds like a "what-hasn't-been-MFC'd-back-to-stable-yet" script could be
quite useful, then ;-)

Thanks for the info.

Of interest to me: if it could be limited to just the commits I made

helpful.

On a general note: be careful with any level of automation with this
script though. Sometimes there are good reasons that a commit wasn't
MFCed.
