InfoTrend-based TOYOU RAID Controller: stop respond when two hosts issue command at the same time

| Kernel

It seems that if one host is fsck’ing and the other is trying to boot, then the controller will halt. I’m so tired and sick about this!

New DragonFly/Net/Open/FreeBSD CVSup mirror

| Kernel

I have set up a mirror for the major BSD software, especially DragonFly/Free/Open/NetBSD and KAME at my personal server, tarsier.delphij.net for about two weeks. Today I have annouced that on kernel@dfly and Liam Foy has added it to the official download list.

Some cvsweb and other related site is ongoing. I’m very pleased that I can support BSD related software, no matter joining their development, or providing mirrors for wider spread.

NetBSD gots impressive result in their system call result

| Kernel

A post on tech-kern has suggested that NetBSD has better performance on several aspects. I think FreeBSD should take some of their ideas. What’s more, I believe it’s more important to have something that is unique in FreeBSD, not doing what’s the equivalent because “Solaris have this” :-)

FreeBSD RELENG_4 opens again

| Kernel

It’s now consered as a legacy branch like RELENG_2_2 and RELENG_3. Future commits to RELENG_4 no longer needs re@’s approval, but only those committed to RELENG_4_11 (with re@’s approval, of course) will go to 4.11-RELEASE. 4.11-RELEASE will be the final 4-STABLE release and it will be a errata release.

NetBSD 2.0 RELEASE released

| Kernel

Finally NetBSD has released their 2.0-RELEASE, which is a significant progress of the NetBSD development.

NetBSD is widely known as the most portable operating system in the world. It currently supports fifty four different system architectures, all from a single source tree, and is always being ported to more. NetBSD 2.0 continues the long tradition with major improvements in file system and memory management performance, major security enhancements, and support for many new platforms and peripherals.

FreeBSD 4.x VM subsystem still has bug after patch

I have ported Matt’s patch to 4-STABLE however Matthew Seaman reports that there is still panic, while different, after the patch and I believe I should port Matt’s VM post-morti diagnostic tools to HEAD.

Finally got GNOME running at full speed

| Kernel

I have been suffered by the speed of GNOME because it usually gets “jitter”.

It seems that marcus@ have the same problem. I have tried HZ=100 but it seems that nothing was changed. Then I have disabled ACPI and it seems the issue was worked around.

What happend in ACPI, so? Still under investigate.
