Debugging symbols with nasm

2003-08-15 Thread Vladimir Ciobanu
I'm not sure whether this is the best list to post to, but it's my first guess. I'm using nasm to compile some code I wrote. The developer-handbook suggests I use "-f elf", so that's what I did. Then I linked it with ld. The program works as expected, but I can't debug it with gdb; it reports

Swapfiles should always be preallocated, never sparse. There are two major reasons for this: First, if the target filesystem fills up all hell will break lose. The kernel uses swap space too, remember, it won't be just user programs that will start crashing (think UAREA). Se

specifying RAM size at boot?

2003-08-15 Thread Daniel Ellard
I am experimenting with the relationship between RAM size and various file system performance characteristics. I've got a machine with a large amount of RAM; what I want is to be able to tell FreeBSD to only use a fraction of it, so I can pretend the machine has various different amounts of RAM.

Mount point mode after mount_mfs(8)

2003-08-15 Thread Yar Tikhiy
Hi folks, As some of you could have noticed, mount_mfs(8) in STABLE will leave the mount point mode 1777, which is not always desired. Doing chmod(1) on it just after mount_mfs(8) isn't elegant due to a race. There is a PR open on the issue -- bin/54897. I've got a patch (see below) that adds a
