two questions about autofs on FBSD

2020-01-03 Thread Lee Damon
I am (reluctantly) replacing am-utils (amd) with autofs. To do this I need to replace a lot of functionality that I've had embedded for a very long time and which my users absolutely rely on. I have two (so far) questions that I need to solve before I can proceed with this process. Question 1 - On

I have four hosts all running 11.3-RELEASE-p5 on the same subnet. Yesterday I did the usual "freebsd-update fetch && freebsd-update install" on all four. They came back up fine but about 4 hours later one of them started reporting problems with ldap search. I poked at it a bit but it was strugglin

I have three old FBSD 10 boxes that I need to upgrade. Ordinarily I do this by building a new box with the latest OS then migrating services and data. Unfortunately I don't have that option this time, the upgrade has to happen in-place. My plan is to go from 10 to 11 then from 11 to 12. I was

In what was arguably a silly attempt I changed all IRQ interrupts to go to CPU0 and .. the host has stayed up through multiple attempts to crash it. I'm not calling it fixed yet but there appears to be hope. Right now I have a script -- /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cpuset.sh -- that's doing the work. This
