If we panic again shortly after boot (say, within 30 seconds), any core
dump we wrote out may be lost on reboot. In this situation, we really
want to keep that core file, as it may be the only way to have the issue
resolved. Call sync(8) after writing out the core file and running
crashinfo(8), in the hope that these will not be lost if we panic
again. sync(8) is only called in the case where there is a core dump
to be written out, so won't be called during normal boots.

Newly-configured systems should use $cloned_interfaces.
- Call clone_{up,down}() and ifnet_rename() in rc.d/netif {start,stop}.
ifnet_rename() now accepts an interface name list as its argument.
- Add rc.d/netif clear. The "clear" subcommand is basically equivalent to
"stop" but it does not call clone_down().
- Add "ifname:sticky" keyword into $cloned_interfaces. If :sticky is
specified, the interface will not be destroyed in rc.d/netif stop.
- Add cloned_interfaces_sticky={YES,NO}. This variable globally sets
:sticky keyword above for all interfaces. The default value is NO.
When cloned_interfaces_sticky=YES, :nosticky keyword can be used to
override it on per interface basis.
device names "md" or "md[0-9]*" and a "file" option are specified in
/etc/fstab like this:
md none swap sw,file=/swap.bin 0 0
- Add GBDE/GELI encrypted swap space specification support, which
rc.d/encswap supported. The /etc/fstab lines are like the following:
/dev/ada1p1.bde none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ada1p2.eli none swap sw 0 0
.eli devices accepts aalgo, ealgo, keylen, and sectorsize as options.
swapctl(8) can understand an encrypted device in the command line
like this:
# swapctl -a /dev/ada2p1.bde
- "-L" flag is added to support "late" option to defer swapon until
rc.d/mountlate runs.
- rc.d script change:
rc.d/encswap -> removed
rc.d/addswap -> just display a warning message if $swapfile is defined
rc.d/swap1 -> renamed to rc.d/swap
rc.d/swaplate -> newly added to support "late" option
These changes alleviate a race condition between device creation/removal
and swapon/swapoff.

Not only this is a bit cleaner, it allows multiple instances of hostapd to be
running on the system host, useful for simultaneous dual-band WiFi.
This is similar to ifconfig_wlanX="WPA" but it uses /etc/hostapd-wlanX.conf.
Compatibility with hostapd_enable=YES/NO was kept.

route_bar="-net 192.168.1.0/24 -gateway 192.168.0.2"
At boot time, all of the static routes are installed as before.
The differences are:
- "/etc/rc.d/netif start/stop <if>" now configures static routes
with :<if> if any.
- "/etc/rc.d/routing start/stop <af> <if>" works as well. <af> cannot be
omitted when <if> is specified, but a keyword "any" or "all" can be used
for <af> and <if>.

There are three situations where the sysctl script is called:
1. "start", very early
2. "lastload", near the end of rc
3. "reload", at admin request while the system is booted

An argument could be made that we should print a (more informative) warning

already print a

Do this per jail started, not per address. This will allow DAD to complete

trying to start before the IPv6 address was available to use and thus
erroring and failing to start.

the usage, but the only risk here is that a warning will be printed
about directory given as device.
- Update usage of -C option.
- When clearing dump header from the given device there is also no need to
provide dump directory, although additional arguments for -c were not
documented.
- Document that -v can be used with -c and that list of devices can be given.

systems are fully "ready to go".
'FILESYSTEMS' states: "This is a dummy dependency, for services which
require file systems to be mounted before starting." However, we have
'var' which is was run after 'FILESYSTEMS' and can mount /var if it
already isn't mounted. Furthermore, several scripts cannot use /var
until 'cleanvar' has done its thing. Thus "FILESYSTEMS" hasn't really
meant all critical file systems are fully usable.

* The kernel is more likely to be unique than /bin/ls (but no need to

* Change ordering to give larger variance across reboots to reduce

seems a typo.
