From 62b3c18cd949658adf9712ba32fedee3f7cf5855 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bmah Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 15:20:50 +0000 Subject: MFR50: Synchronize the content of the errata file with RELENG_5_0. article.sgml 1.9.2.4 At this point, the errata file on HEAD should contain the same content as for RELENG_5_0, but be compatible with the SGML entities and other infrastructure on HEAD. We can now add content here and it will appear as post-release errata. --- release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/errata/article.sgml | 66 +++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 62 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'release/doc') diff --git a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/errata/article.sgml b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/errata/article.sgml index 8d17106..2b953ab 100644 --- a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/errata/article.sgml +++ b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/errata/article.sgml @@ -88,11 +88,69 @@ Security Advisories - + + No active security advisories. + - - System Update Information - + + Late-Breaking News + + The &man.geom.4;-based disk partitioning code in the kernel + will not allow an open partition to be overwritten. This + usually prevents the use of disklabel -B to + update the boot blocks on a disk because the + a partition overlaps the space where the boot + blocks are stored. A suggested workaround is to boot from an + alternate disk, a CDROM, or a fixit floppy. + + When using disk media with sector sizes larger than 512 + bytes (for instance, &man.gbde.4; encrypted disks), the + &man.dump.8; program fails to respect the larger sector size and + cannot dump the partition. One possible workaround is to copy + the entire file system in raw format and dump the copy. It is, + for instance, possible to dump a file system stored in a regular + file: + + &prompt.root; dd if=/dev/ad0s1d.bde of=/junk/ad0.dd bs=1m +&prompt.root; dump 0f - /junk/ad0.dd | ... + + A simpler workaround is to use &man.tar.1; or &man.cpio.1; + to make backup copies. + + Hangs have been reported during &os; 5.0 snapshot + installations when installing to &man.mly.4;-supported RAID + arrays, in hardware configurations that appear to work fine + under &os; 4.7-RELEASE. + + NETNCP and nwfs appear to be as-yet unadapted for KSE, and + hence not working. + + During installation, the &man.iir.4; controller appears to + probe correctly, but finds no disk devices. + + &man.truss.1; appears to contain a race condition during the + start-up of debugging, which can result in &man.truss.1; failing + to attach to the process before it exists. The symptom is that + &man.truss.1; reports that it cannot open the &man.procfs.5; + node supporting the process being debugged. A bug also appears + to exist wherein &man.truss.1; will hang if &man.execve.2; + returns ENOENT A further race appears to + exist in which &man.truss.1; will return PIOCWAIT: + Input/output error occasionally on startup. The fix + for this sufficiently changes process execution handling that it + has been deferred until after 5.0. + + Some bugs have been reported in &man.sysinstall.8; disk + partitioning. One observed problem on the i386 is that + &man.sysinstall.8; cannot recalculate the free space left on a + disk after changing the type of an FDISK-type partition. + + In some case, documentation (such as the FAQ or Handbook) + has not been updated to take into account &os; &release.current; + features. Examples of areas where documentation is still + needed include &man.gbde.8; and the new fast + IPsec implementation. + -- cgit v1.1
