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.

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

By misinterpreting some data, I thought that getty wouldn't apply any
baud rate to the syscons devices, but it uses the default entry instead.
This means that the baud rate is set to 1200. This isn't too bad, except
when using canonical mode. Make it use 9600 baud by default.
MFC after: 1 week
Devices that don't implement param() (which means they don't support
hardware parameters such as flow control, baud rate) hardcode the baud
rate to TTYDEF_SPEED. This means the buffer size cannot be configured,
which is a little inconvenient when using canonical mode with big lines
of input, etc.
Make it adjustable, but do clamp it between B50 and B115200 to prevent
awkward buffer sizes. Remove the baud rate assignment from
/etc/gettytab. Trust the kernel to fill in a proper value.

employ a more generic solution, and use it in the individual rc.d scripts

1. Add check_startmsgs() to rc.subr.
2. In the rc.d scripts that use rc_quiet (and rc.subr) substitute
variations of [ -z "$rc_quiet" ] with check_startmsgs
3. In savecore add a trailing '.' to the end of the message to make it
more consistent with other scripts.
4. In newsyslog remove a : before the terminal '.' since we do not expect
there to be anything printed out in between to make it more consistent.
5. In the following scripts change "quotes" to 'quotes' where no variables
exist in the message: savecore pf newsyslog
6. In the following scripts substitute if/then/fi for the simpler (and
more consistent) check_startmsgs &&: faith stf
7. In the following scripts separate the "Starting foo:" from the terminal
'.' to make them more consistent: moused hostname pf
8. In nfsclient move the message to its own line to avoid a style bug
9. In pf rc_quiet does not apply to the _stop method, so remove the
test there.
10. In motd add 'quotes' around the terminal '.' for consistency
for each address family. Replace AF_static() with static_AF() for

re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility. From
UPDATING:
1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.
Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases.
$ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
they are obsolete.
2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and/or
"inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.
If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility.
3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6
functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
using ifconfig(8) like:
ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled
If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
IPv6-preferred.
The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.
4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8)
scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
(State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).

network_ipv6->rc.d/netif integration:
- $ipv6_enable is now obsolete. Instead, IPv6 is enabled by
default if the kernel supports it, and $ipv6_network_interfaces
is "none" by default. If you want to use IPv6, define
$ipv6_network_interfaces and $ifconfig_xxx_ipv6.
An interface which is in $network_interfaces and not in
$ipv6_network_interfaces will be marked as "inet6
-auto_linklocal ifdisabled" (see ifconfig(8)).
- $ipv6_ifconfig_xxx is renamed to ifconfig_xxx_ipv6 for
consistency with other address families. The old variables
still work but can be removed in the future. Note that
ipv6_ifconfig_xxx="..." should be replaced with
ifconfig_xxx_ipv6="inet6 ...".
- Receiving ICMPv6 Router Advertisement is not automatically
enabled even if there is no manual configuration of IPv6 in
rc.conf. If you want it, define
ifconfig_xxx_ipv6="inet6 ... accept_rtadv".
- The rc.d/ip6addrctl now chooses address selection policy based
on $ipv6_prefer, not $ipv6_enable. The default is
ipv6_prefer=NO.
