The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address
selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).
The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3,
the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484,

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.

utilities and related support files for manual pages, which were previously

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.)

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

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

- 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

At least in RELENG_7 this fixes some start problems for some programs

make it optional only for the start of jails (jail_parallell_start=YES

- The stop can not be done in the background, the system needs to wait

- 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

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.

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

- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export

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

top of ZVOLs. The problem is that rc.d/fsck runs before rc.d/zfs. The
latter makes ZVOLs to appear in /dev/. In such case rc.d/fsck cannot
find devfs entry and aborts. We cannot simply move rc.d/zfs before
rc.d/fsck, because we first want kern.hostid to be configured (by
rc.d/hostid). If we won't wait (hostid will be 0) we can reuse disks
which are in use by different systems (eg. in SAN/NAS environment).
We also cannot move rc.d/hostid before rc.d/fsck, because rc.d/hostid on
first system start stores generated kern.hostuuid in /etc/hostid file,
so it needs root file system to be mounted read-write.
The fix is to split rc.d/hostid so that rc.d/hostid (which will now run
before rc.d/fsck) only generates hostid and sets up sysctls, but doesn't
touch root file system and rc.d/hostid_save (which is run after
rc.d/root) and only creates /etc/hostid file.
With that in place, we can move ZVOL initialization to dedicated
rc.d/zvol script which runs before rc.d/fsck.

modularize it so that new transports can be created.
Add a transport for SATA
Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA
Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware.
Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max
I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated
from the value of MAXPHYS.
The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override
the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled
into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased
performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers.
ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are
accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated
via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to
their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire
stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further
details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and
possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available.
This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has
changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change
further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as
more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to
eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for
interesting topology and management options.
Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers,
though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports
specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support
the topologies and capabilities of these technologies.
The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is
meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it
grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also
allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without
jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI
driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works.
Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware
is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged.

and server. This replaces the RPC implementation of the NFS client and
server with the newer RPC implementation originally developed
(actually ported from the userland sunrpc code) to support the NFS
Lock Manager. I have tested this code extensively and I believe it is
stable and that performance is at least equal to the legacy RPC
implementation.
The NFS code currently contains support for both the new RPC
implementation and the older legacy implementation inherited from the
original NFS codebase. The default is to use the new implementation -
add the NFS_LEGACYRPC option to fall back to the old code. When I
merge this support back to RELENG_7, I will probably change this so
that users have to 'opt in' to get the new code.
To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or server, you must build a kernel
which includes the KGSSAPI option and the crypto device. On the
userland side, you must build at least a new libc, mountd, mount_nfs
and gssd. You must install new versions of /etc/rc.d/gssd and
/etc/rc.d/nfsd and add 'gssd_enable=YES' to /etc/rc.conf.
As long as gssd is running, you should be able to mount an NFS
filesystem from a server that requires RPCSEC_GSS authentication. The
mount itself can happen without any kerberos credentials but all
access to the filesystem will be denied unless the accessing user has
a valid ticket file in the standard place (/tmp/krb5cc_<uid>). There
is currently no support for situations where the ticket file is in a
different place, such as when the user logged in via SSH and has
delegated credentials from that login. This restriction is also
present in Solaris and Linux. In theory, we could improve this in
future, possibly using Brooks Davis' implementation of variant
symlinks.
Supporting RPCSEC_GSS on a server is nearly as simple. You must create
service creds for the server in the form 'nfs/<fqdn>@<REALM>' and
install them in /etc/krb5.keytab. The standard heimdal utility ktutil
makes this fairly easy. After the service creds have been created, you
can add a '-sec=krb5' option to /etc/exports and restart both mountd
and nfsd.
The only other difference an administrator should notice is that nfsd
doesn't fork to create service threads any more. In normal operation,
there will be two nfsd processes, one in userland waiting for TCP
connections and one in the kernel handling requests. The latter
process will create as many kthreads as required - these should be
visible via 'top -H'. The code has some support for varying the number
of service threads according to load but initially at least, nfsd uses
a fixed number of threads according to the value supplied to its '-n'
option.

As discussed with Robert Watson on the src-committers list, it is safer

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.
