Add debugging option to always read/write cylinder groups as full
sized blocks. To enable this option, use: `sysctl -w debug.bigcgs=1'. Add debugging option to disable background writes of cylinder groups. To enable this option, use: `sysctl -w debug.dobkgrdwrite=0'. These debugging options should be tried on systems that are panicing with corrupted cylinder group maps to see if it makes the problem go away. The set of panics in question are: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch ffs_nodealloccg: map corrupted ffs_nodealloccg: block not in map ffs_alloccg: map corrupted ffs_alloccg: block not in map ffs_alloccgblk: cyl groups corrupted ffs_alloccgblk: can't find blk in cyl ffs_checkblk: partially free fragment The following panics are less likely to be related to this problem, but might be helped by these debugging options: ffs_valloc: dup alloc ffs_blkfree: freeing free block ffs_blkfree: freeing free frag ffs_vfree: freeing free inode If you try these options, please report whether they helped reduce your bitmap corruption panics to Kirk McKusick at <mckusick@mckusick.com> and to Matt Dillon <dillon@earth.backplane.com>.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
