Firmware can be reprogrammed on devices from Hitachi, HP, IBM, Plextor,
Quantum, and Seagate. At least one device from each manufacturer has
been tested with some version of this code, and it has been used to
update thousands of drives so far.
The man page suggests having a backup of the drive's data, and the
operation must be confirmed, either interactively or on the command
line. (This is the same as the confirmation on the format command.)
This work is largely derived from fwprog.c by Andre Albsmeier.

CAM.
Desriptor sense is a new sense data format that originated in SPC-3. Among
other things, it allows for an 8-byte info field, which is necessary to
pass back block numbers larger than 4 bytes.
This change adds a number of new functions to scsi_all.c (and therefore
libcam) that abstract out most access to sense data.
This includes a bump of CAM_VERSION, because the CCB ABI has changed.
Userland programs that use the CAM pass(4) driver will need to be
recompiled.
camcontrol.c: Change uses of scsi_extract_sense() to use
scsi_extract_sense_len().
Use scsi_get_sks() instead of accessing sense key specific
data directly.
scsi_modes: Update the control mode page to the latest version (SPC-4).
scsi_cmds.c,
scsi_target.c: Change references to struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed. This should be changed to allow the
user to specify fixed or descriptor sense, and then use
scsi_set_sense_data() to build the sense data.
ps3cdrom.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of setting sense data
manually.
cam_periph.c: Use scsi_extract_sense_len() instead of using
scsi_extract_sense() or accessing sense data directly.
cam_ccb.h: Bump the CAM_VERSION from 0x15 to 0x16. The change of
struct scsi_sense_data from 32 to 252 bytes changes the
size of struct ccb_scsiio, but not the size of union ccb.
So the version must be bumped to prevent structure
mis-matches.
scsi_all.h: Lots of updated SCSI sense data and other structures.
Add function prototypes for the new sense data functions.
Take out the inline implementation of scsi_extract_sense().
It is now too large to put in a header file.
Add macros to calculate whether fields are present and
filled in fixed and descriptor sense data
scsi_all.c: In scsi_op_desc(), allow the user to pass in NULL inquiry
data, and we'll assume a direct access device in that case.
Changed the SCSI RESERVED sense key name and description
to COMPLETED, as it is now defined in the spec.
Change the error recovery action for a number of read errors
to prevent lots of retries when the drive has said that the
block isn't accessible. This speeds up reconstruction of
the block by any RAID software running on top of the drive
(e.g. ZFS).
In scsi_sense_desc(), allow for invalid sense key numbers.
This allows calling this routine without checking the input
values first.
Change scsi_error_action() to use scsi_extract_sense_len(),
and handle things when invalid asc/ascq values are
encountered.
Add a new routine, scsi_desc_iterate(), that will call the
supplied function for every descriptor in descriptor format
sense data.
Add scsi_set_sense_data(), and scsi_set_sense_data_va(),
which build descriptor and fixed format sense data. They
currently default to fixed format sense data.
Add a number of scsi_get_*() functions, which get different
types of sense data fields from either fixed or descriptor
format sense data, if the data is present.
Add a number of scsi_*_sbuf() functions, which print
formatted versions of various sense data fields. These
functions work for either fixed or descriptor sense.
Add a number of scsi_sense_*_sbuf() functions, which have a
standard calling interface and print the indicated field.
These functions take descriptors only.
Add scsi_sense_desc_sbuf(), which will print a formatted
version of the given sense descriptor.
Pull out a majority of the scsi_sense_sbuf() function and
put it into scsi_sense_only_sbuf(). This allows callers
that don't use struct ccb_scsiio to easily utilize the
printing routines. Revamp that function to handle
descriptor sense and use the new sense fetching and
printing routines.
Move scsi_extract_sense() into scsi_all.c, and implement it
in terms of the new function, scsi_extract_sense_len().
The _len() version takes a length (which should be the
sense length - residual) and can indicate which fields are
present and valid in the sense data.
Add a couple of new scsi_get_*() routines to get the sense
key, asc, and ascq only.
mly.c: Rename struct scsi_sense_data to struct
scsi_sense_data_fixed.
sbp_targ.c: Use the new sense fetching routines to get sense data
instead of accessing it directly.
sbp.c: Change the firewire/SCSI sense data transformation code to
use struct scsi_sense_data_fixed instead of struct
scsi_sense_data. This should be changed later to use
scsi_set_sense_data().
ciss.c: Calculate the sense residual properly. Use
scsi_get_sense_key() to fetch the sense key.
mps_sas.c,
mpt_cam.c: Set the sense residual properly.
iir.c: Use scsi_set_sense_data() instead of building sense data by

As of FreeBSD 6, devices can only be opened through devfs. These device
nodes don't have major and minor numbers anymore. The st_rdev field in
struct stat is simply based a copy of st_ino.
Simply display device numbers as hexadecimal, using "%#jx". This is
allowed by POSIX, since it explicitly states things like the following
(example taken from ls(1)):
"If the file is a character special or block special file, the
size of the file may be replaced with implementation-defined
information associated with the device in question."
This makes the output of these commands more compact. For example, ls(1)
now uses approximately four columns less. While there, simplify the
column length calculation from ls(1) by calling snprintf() with a NULL
buffer.
Don't be afraid; if needed one can still obtain individual major/minor
numbers using stat(1).

- A new per-interface knob IFF_ND6_NO_RADR and sysctl IPV6CTL_NO_RADR.
This controls if accepting a route in an RA message as the default route.
The default value for each interface can be set by net.inet6.ip6.no_radr.
The system wide default value is 0.
- A new sysctl: net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif. This controls if setting R-bit in
NA on RA accepting interfaces. The default is 0 (R-bit is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding).
Background:
IPv6 host/router model suggests a router sends an RA and a host accepts it for
router discovery. Because of that, KAME implementation does not allow
accepting RAs when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. Accepting RAs on a router can
make the routing table confused since it can change the default router
unintentionally.
However, in practice there are cases where we cannot distinguish a host from
a router clearly. For example, a customer edge router often works as a host
against the ISP, and as a router against the LAN at the same time. Another
example is a complex network configurations like an L2TP tunnel for IPv6
connection to Internet over an Ethernet link with another native IPv6 subnet.
In this case, the physical interface for the native IPv6 subnet works as a
host, and the pseudo-interface for L2TP works as the default IP forwarding
route.
Problem:
Disabling processing RA messages when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 and
accepting them when net.inet6.ip6.forward=0 cause the following practical
issues:
- A router cannot perform SLAAC. It becomes a problem if a box has
multiple interfaces and you want to use SLAAC on some of them, for
example. A customer edge router for IPv6 Internet access service
using an IPv6-over-IPv6 tunnel sometimes needs SLAAC on the
physical interface for administration purpose; updating firmware
and so on (link-local addresses can be used there, but GUAs by
SLAAC are often used for scalability).
- When a host has multiple IPv6 interfaces and it receives multiple RAs on
them, controlling the default route is difficult. Router preferences
defined in RFC 4191 works only when the routers on the links are
under your control.
Details of Implementation Changes:
Router Advertisement messages will be accepted even when
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. More precisely, the conditions are as
follow:
(ACCEPT_RTADV && !NO_RADR && !ip6.forwarding)
=> Normal RA processing on that interface. (as IPv6 host)
(ACCEPT_RTADV && (NO_RADR || ip6.forwarding))
=> Accept RA but add the router to the defroute list with
rtlifetime=0 unconditionally. This effectively prevents
from setting the received router address as the box's
default route.
(!ACCEPT_RTADV)
=> No RA processing on that interface.
ACCEPT_RTADV and NO_RADR are per-interface knob. In short, all interface
are classified as "RA-accepting" or not. An RA-accepting interface always
processes RA messages regardless of ip6.forwarding. The difference caused by
NO_RADR or ip6.forwarding is whether the RA source address is considered as
the default router or not.
R-bit in NA on the RA accepting interfaces is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding. While RFC 6204 W-1 rule (for CPE case) suggests
a router should disable the R-bit completely even when the box has
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1, I believe there is no technical reason with
doing so. This behavior can be set by a new sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif
(the default is 0).
Usage:

sending. What happens otherwise is that the sender splits all the
traffic into 32k chunks, while the receiver is waiting for the whole
packet. Then for a certain packet sizes, particularly 66607 bytes in
my case, the communication stucks to secondary is expecting to
read one chunk of 66607 bytes, while primary is sending two chunks
of 32768 bytes and third chunk of 1071. Probably due to TCP windowing
and buffering the final chunk gets stuck somewhere, so neither server
not client can make any progress.
This patch also protect from short reads, as according to the manual
page there are some cases when MSG_WAITALL can give less data than
expected.

partition offsets. If user requests specific alignment and
provider's stripesize is not zero, then use a least common multiple
from the stripesize and user specified value.
Also fix "gpart resize" implementation: do not try to align the partition
size, because the start offset may be not aligned. Instead align the
end offset and then calculate size. Also use stripesize and stripeoffset
for "gpart resize" command.
If compiled in for dual-stack use, test with feature_present(3)
to see if we should register the IPv4/IPv6 address family related
options.
In case there is no "inet" support we would love to go with the
usage() and make the address family mandatory (as it is for anything
but inet in theory). Unfortunately people are used to
ifconfig IF up/down
etc. as well, so use a fallback of "link". Adjust the man page
to reflect these minor details.
Improve error handling printing a warning in addition to the usage
telling that we do not know the given address family in two places.

16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
The rational is that most disks are now running with 4K
sectors. While they can (slowly) simulate 512-byte sectors
by doing a read-modify-write, it is desirable to avoid this
functionality. By raising the minimum filesystem allocation
to 4K, the filesystem will never trigger the small sector
emulation.
Also, the growth of disk sizes has lead us to double the
default block size about every ten years. The rise from 8K
to 16K blocks was done in 2001. So, by the 10-year metric,
the time has come for 32K blocks.

MBR, PC98, VTOC8, EBR schemes are doing that. For these schemes an
auto alignment feature (ie. gpart add -a alignment) would not work.
But it can work for GPT and BSD schemes. BSD scheme usualy is created
inside MBR, so we can use knowledge about offset of MBR partition to
calculate aligned values for BSD partitions.
Use "offset" attribute of the parent provider for better alignment.

that the following sequence:
ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex
ifconfig bge0 media 100baseTX
results in 100baseTX full-duplex to be set or that:
ifconfig bge0 media autoselect mediaopt flowcontrol
ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex
tries to set 1000baseT full-duplex with flowcontrol, which isn't suported
und thus fails while the following:
ifconfig re0 media 1000baseT mediaopt flowcontrol,full-duplex
ifconfig re0 media autoselect

because we need to do ioctl(2)s, which are not permitted in the capability
mode. What we do now is to chroot(2) to /var/empty, which restricts access
to file system name space and we drop privileges to hast user and hast
group.
This still allows to access to other name spaces, like list of processes,
network and sysvipc.
To address that, use jail(2) instead of chroot(2). Using jail(2) will restrict
access to process table, network (we use ip-less jails) and sysvipc (if
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed is turned off). This provides much better
separation.

that was built before ffs grew support for TRIM, your filesystem will have
plenty of free blocks that the flash chip doesn't know are free, so it
can't take advantage of them for wear leveling. Once you've upgraded your
kernel, you enable TRIM on the filesystem (tunefs -t enable), then run
fsck_ffs -E on it before mounting it.
I tested this patch by half-filling an mdconfig'ed filesystem image,
running fsck_ffs -E on it, then verifying that the contents were not
damaged by comparing them to a pristine copy using rsync's checksum
functionality. There is no reliable way to test it on real hardware.

NFS client (which I guess is no longer experimental). The fstype "newnfs"
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
changes, an updated mount_nfs(8) binary is needed for kernels built with
"options NFSCL" but not "options NFSCLIENT". Updated mount_nfs(8) and
mount(8) binaries are needed to do mounts for fstype "oldnfs".
The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use options
NFSCL and NFSD (the new client and server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
For kernels being used on diskless NFS root systems, "options NFSCL"
must be in the kernel config.

- We have two nodes connected and synchronized (local counters on both sides
are 0).
- We take secondary down and recreate it.
- Primary connects to it and starts synchronization (but local counters are
still 0).
- We switch the roles.
- Synchronization restarts but data is synchronized now from new primary
(because local counters are 0) that doesn't have new data yet.
This fix this issue we bump local counter on primary when we discover that
connected secondary was recreated and has no data yet.
