With a small disk being 20GB these days, chances are pretty good that
an ailing sector will not be read while still being recoverable by
the drive.
Diskcheck daemon will read disks in the background at a low rate and
that way give the diskdrive a chance to detect and correct soft read
errors before they become hard errors.

gigabit ethernet controller chip. This device is used on some
fiber optic gigE cards from SMC, D-Link and Addtron. Jumbograms and
TCP/IP checksum offload on receive are supported. Hardware VLAN
filtering is not, because it doesn't play well with our existing
VLAN code. Also add manual page.
There is a 4.x version of this driver available at
http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Level1/4.x if anyone feels adventurous
and wants to test it. I still need to do performance testing and
tuning with this device.
(For my next trick, I will make the 3Com 3cR990 sit up and beg.)
made the usage here incorrect.
Note that the change to install may cause other things to break, such as
the advice in src/etc/defaults/make.conf:
# Compare before install
#INSTALL=install -C
If users actually use this, any ${INSTALL} -d invocations in an installworld
will also fail.

despite the fact that most people want to set exactly the same settings
regardless of which card they have. It has been repeatidly suggested
that this configuration should be done via ifconfig. This patch
implements the required functionality in ifconfig and add support to the
wi and an drivers. It also provides partial, untested support for the
awi driver.

In the past 2 months or so, after rlogining into another host, the
environment has the geometry wrong. Peter suggested that this behavior
change was most likely caused by the PAM stuff that changed to run a proper
session with a forked child. And that for some reason the window size is
no longer being transferred via an OOB message on the socket.
This change fixes my problem and seems to be a good stopgap measure until
someone has time to ktrace/ktrace -i inetd to catch all the child processes
it spawns while doing an rlogin and change window size a few times to see
how far the change messages are getting.
At least some IBM drives support the Standby Condition Timer (i. e.
they allow for an automatic spindown).

one mode page definition, do people think that `The FreeBSD Project'

to avoid polluting sys.mk. This directive controls the addition of
compiler warning flags to CFLAGS in a relatively compiler-neutral manner.
The idea is that WARNS can be set in Makefile.inc or in individual
Makefiles as they become clean, to prevent the introduction of new
warnings in the code. -Werror is added by default
