shell script is the back end logic necessary for an installer. It
contains both query routines to allow a front-end installer to present
reasonable choices to the user and also action routines which allow
the front end installer to put a FreeBSD distribution onto a disk. It
supports installing onto the usual suspects, as well as advanced
features like Mirroring, ZFS, Encryprion and GPT labels.
While this is only the back-end of the installer, it can do unattended
scripted installations. In PC-BSD's world view, all installations are
scripted and all the front-end does is write the script. As such, it
is useful in its own right.
This has been extensively tested over the past several releases of
PC-BSD. However, differences between that environment and FreeBSD
suggest there will be a period of shake-out while those differences
are discovered and corrected.
A text-based front-end is in the works. For the GUI-based front-end,
you can use the PC-BSD distribution.

Features:
- configurable amount of days between scrubs (default value or per pool)
- do not scrub directly after pool creation (respects the configured
number of days between scrubs)
- do not scrub if a scrub is in progress
- tells how to see the status of the scrub
- tells how many days since the last scrub if it skips the scrubbing
- warns if a non-existent pool is specified explicitely
(default: no pools specified -> all currently imported pools are
handled)
- runs late in the periodic run to not slow down the other periodic daily
scripts

utilities and related support files for manual pages, which were previously
controlled by MAN. For POLA, the default depends on MAN, i.e., WITHOUT_MAN
implies WITHOUT_MAN_UTILS and WITH_MAN implies WITH_MAN_UTILS. This patch
is slightly improved by me from:
PR: misc/145212
FILESYSTEMS (the default early_late_divider):
1. Move sysctl to run first
2. Move as many BEFOREs to REQUIREs as possible.
3. Minor effect, move hostid_save from right before mdconfig to right
after.
A lot of the early scripts make use of sysctl one way or another so
running this first makes a lot of sense given that system-critical
values are often placed in sysctl.conf.
My original purpose for working on this was that while doing some
debugging on other stuff I noticed that the order of execution was
different in the first pass through the early scripts and the second.
In practice that doesn't matter because the scripts are not executed the
second time. However this _can_ result in problems if the difference in
the rcorder moves a script from the late section to the early section in
the second pass (which would mean the script would not get executed).
So, I wanted to make the order of execution of the scripts in the early
section more deterministic.
In the course of debugging the ordering problems I noticed that moving
the BEFOREs to REQUIREs prevented the changes in order from the first
pass to the second pass without having to make any substantial changes.
(Of course it's no secret that I think BEFORE should be avoided as much
as possible, but this is a good example of why.)

wlan interfaces) from being automatically reloaded via devd shutdown
event handlers.
- Revert part of my previous changes to call ifn_stop on subinterfaces
when an interface is detached. It is better to destroy the interfaces
first so that an 'ifconfig foo0.blah down' doesn't result in ifconfig
auto-loading if_foo.ko. The ifconfig command will not be invoked if
foo0.blah is gone when ifn_stop() is called. Furthermore, it is not
necessary to explicitly invoke ifn_stop() after the subinterface is
destroyed as devd will already do that.
- Pass -n to ifconfig when destroying interfaces so that destroying a
cloned interface does not kldload any drivers.

named_chrootdir IS set, named-checkconf fails because it

variable that includes "-t $named_chrootdir" as needed.
Notice of the bug and suggested direction for the fix from [1].
Using required_files for named.conf is overkill ever since
I added the named-checkconf call, so rather than update the
logic to handle the case described above, remove it. This
also handles the case where named_chroot_autoupdate IS set
but the symlink doesn't exist yet.

proper device_t so it faked the devctl event to appear like one, this is now a
notify which allows more information to be passed.
We notify for both the device attach/detach and for each usb interface. A devd
rule can now match on the interface properties, including composite devices
which may have a uvideo interface and also usound and possibly uhid too.
An example to match a umass device with a scsi subclass and BBB protocol would be
notify 100 {
match "system" "USB";
match "subsystem" "INTERFACE";
match "type" "ATTACH";
match "intclass" "0x08";
match "intsubclass" "0x06";
match "intprotocol" "0x50";
action ...
};
The old attach devctl event has been retained for the moment to make merging to
8.1 easier. This was never compatible with 7.x or earlier due to the ugen regex
change needed.

and ipv6_ifconfig_<interface> options have already been deprecated,
these changes do not alter that.
With these changes any value set for ipv6_enable will emit a
warning. In order to avoid a POLA violation for the deprecation
of the option ipv6_enable=NO will still disable configuration
for all interfaces other than lo0. ipv6_enable=YES will not have
any effect, but will emit an additional warning. Support and
warnings for this option will be removed in FreeBSD 10.x.
Consistent with the current code, in order for IPv6 to be configured
on an interface (other than lo0) an ifconfig_<interface>_ipv6
option will have to be added to /etc/rc.conf[.local].
1. Clean up and minor optimizations for the following functions:
ifconfig_up (the ipv6 elements)
ipv6if
ipv6_autoconfif
get_if_var
_ifconfig_getargs
The cleanups generally were to move the "easy" tests earlier in the
functions, and consolidate duplicate code.
2. Stop overloading ipv6_prefer with the ability to disable IPv6
configuration.
3. Remove noafif() which was only ever called from ipv6_autoconfif.
Instead, simplify and integrate the tests into that function, and
convert the test to use is_wired_interface() instead of listing
wireless interfaces explicitly.
4. Integrate backwards compatibility for ipv6_ifconfig_<interface>
into _ifconfig_getargs. This dramatically simplifies the code in
all of the callers, and avoids a lot of other code duplication.
5. In rc.d/netoptions, add code for an ipv6_privacy option to use
RFC 4193 style pseudo-random addresses (this is what windows does
by default, FYI).
6. Add support for the [NO]RTADV options in ifconfig_getargs() and
ipv6_autoconfif(). In the latter, include support for the explicit
addition of [-]accept_rtadv in ifconfig_<interface>_ipv6 as is done
in the current code.
7. In rc.d/netif add a warning if $ipv6_enable is set, and remove
the set_rcvar_obsolete for it. Also remove the latter from
rc.d/ip6addrctl.
8. In /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
Add an example for RTADV configuration.
Set ipv6_network_interfaces to AUTO.
Switch ipv6_prefer to YES. If ipv6_enable is not set this will have
no effect.
Add a default for ipv6_privacy (NO).
9. Document all of this in rc.conf.5.
still exists as a zombie. The 'kill -0' test in this function can
therefore return true even if the process isn't actually running.
This could lead to wait_for_pids() printing an endless string of the
pid number until the zombie finally exits.
Solve this problem by moving the sleep up to after the 'kill -0' test, but
only after we've run through the function once already. In the common case
(only one pid in the list) this will always do the right thing. On the rare
occasion that there is more than one pid in the list this will sleep 1
second per zombie process which will allow that process, and any other
in the list a chance to exit.
While I'm here, local'ize the variables that this function uses.
Just comment out the atrun line instead of completely removing it. It is
not a bad idea to leave it as a reference in case someone decides to
install atrun by hand afterwards.
- Remove dosansi, pc and pc3. I suspect nobody ever needs these.
- Add vt100, screen and xterm-color.
This file is now probably more than sufficient in most cases, even for
common use outside single user mode, where people just use the console
driver, a graphical terminal emulator and a terminal multiplexer.
Right now we have a termcap.small in the tree, but we don't install it.
If we do install this file by default, it is more likely for
applications to work in single user mode.
I am not entirely happy with the contents of this file. In my opinion we
should remove the `dosansi', `pc' and `pc3' entries and replace them
with `vt100' in case someone uses a serial console.
The file does already have entries for `cons25' and `xterm', which is
used most often.

At least in RELENG_7 this fixes some start problems for some programs
from the ports. It is also more correct, as a jail shall not expect
input (interactivity) from the jail-host.
Revert the current behavior of starting jails in the background and
make it optional only for the start of jails (jail_parallell_start=YES
in rc.conf):
- The stop can not be done in the background, the system needs to wait
until everything is stopped correctly before it can reboot or power
down.
- The start should not be done in parallel by default, this not only
breaks POLA for people comming from RELENG_x, it may also break a
dependency chain with other scripts in the jail-host, which need to
do some stuff after the jails are up and running (e.g. hardlinking
a mysql socket from one jail into another one).

HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.
