You only worked around the previous breakage of vfs sysctls for the
statically configured case. The dynamically configured case was more
fundamentally broken (sysctls

Yes, the default kernel format was changed to ELF on Jan., 6th. 3.0-RELEASE

I fixed this a while back to use sysctlbyname, as it should have been
done. Bruce subsequently backed it out (bad idea, IMO).
You should file a PR or otherwise petition b...@freebsd.org to un-revert
his change.

I update 3-Stable nearly weekly, and have been experiencing the same problem
for quite a while now. NFS imports, on the client side appear to be losing
data. When this occurs, I see .nfs78969 files on the server side. The
program on the client side always freezes (top reports it's STAT as 'D').
Your bug fix is in my queue.

I've noticed that as I'm constantly syncing my /usr/ports directory and
upgrading programs, the old packages stay there. If I pkg_delete them and
there's an unchanged file that exists in both the update and the original then
tat gets deleted too. Any way of cleanly removing old packages? Inciden

Ya, I found those by doing a search inside the TI site. The

They can do that with or without an spl if they don't lock things properly

I support this. It was the intention of sysctlbyname() to minimize the
use of "well-known-OIDs" as much as possible.

Anyone care to look at LINT and GENERIC and in particular at the ppc0 line?
GENERIC lists ppc0 as a device, LINT as a controller.

accepted, but I don't thin
