Re: /etc/defaults (Was: Re: Out of file descriptors ??)

1999-06-27 Thread Brian W. Buchanan
A nice semi-solution to this problem of having to copy lines from defaults/rc.conf would be a good curses-based rc.conf configuration tool. It could read in a definition file (or this information could be embedded into comments in defaults/rc.conf), present a list of configuration knobs and thei

stale FS getpages?

1999-09-05 Thread Brian W. Buchanan
I just noticed 34 consecutive "/kernel: vnode_pager: *** WARNING *** stale FS getpages" logged over the course of about 3.5 minutes. This was from yesterday, so I'm not sure what triggered it. Any insight into what this means? I'm running current built 8/31. -- Brian Buchanan

mount(2) broken?

1999-12-04 Thread Brian W. Buchanan
After an unfortunate hard reboot today, the system fscked everything and then barfed attempting to mount /, claiming it to be unclean. I dropped to single-user mode and proceeded to re-fsck / and then tried to mount it again to no avail. Rebooting didn't help things either. # fsck -p /dev/wd0s1

New sound driver and Linux games

1999-12-18 Thread Brian W. Buchanan
The new sound driver (I'm using pcm0 and sbc0) seems to break a lot of Linux-centric games. Quake2, Q3Test, and snes9x (built from ports) all have choppy, looping sound, and sometimes die with SIGSEGV or SIGBUS soon after starting up. Other programs that use sound, like mpg123, work fine. Everyt

Post-egcs switch console problems

I just cvsupped a few hours ago and rebuild world and the kernel. After the build, I noticed that my CD-ROM drives no longer worked, corrected the kernel config file to use wcd0 instead of acd0, and while I was at it, updated the bootloader config as per the instructions in /usr/src/sys/boot/READM
