Swap Warning Message?

Updated 9.1 to 9 stable on an old PII with 256 MB of memory.
(FreeBSD runs fine on this machine).  After updating have
been getting the following warning on startup:

warning: total configured swap (524288 pages) exceeds maximum recommended
amount (497056 pages).
warning: increase kern.maxswzone or reduce amount of swap space.

I allocated 2.0 GB of swap when I installed.  This was not a problem
in the past. 

Should I ignore this warning or do I need to do something?

em2: watchdog timeout -- resetting

Hello, I have a server pfsense in bridge mode to function as transparent
FW, the problem is that once I connect the pfsense between my router core
and my core switch catalyst a few seconds begin to appear several messages
like these:

em2: watchdog timeout - resetting
em2: watchdog timeout - resetting
em2: watchdog timeout - resetting
em2: watchdog timeout - resetting

And the connection falls back repeatedly and indefinitely.
Searching on google did some tweaks:

hw.em.rxd = "4096"
hw.em.txd = "4096"
hw.em.tx_int_delay = "250"
hw.em.rx_int_delay = "250"
hw.em.tx_abs_int_delay = "250"
hw.em.rx_abs_int_delay = "250"
hw.em.enable_msix = "0"
hw.em.msix_queues = "2"
hw.em.rx_process_limit = "-1"
hw.em.fc_setting = "0"
hw.em.num_queues = 1

I tried several variations, but also without success.

My infrastructure:

(7301 cisco router) ------ em1 (pfsense bridge0) em2 ------ sw core cisco

OpenSSH in -STABLE

Hi. Are there any plans to get OpenSSH 6.2 in 9-STABLE? I'd like to
check out the new AES-GCM stuff without going to -CURRENT on this
system. If there are no plans, is there a possibility? Thanks

Unexpected reboot/crash on 8.2-RELEASE.

I had an unexpected reboot of my Dell R610 today around 2:05-06pm today.
I do not know if it crashed or if it was power cycled.

This machine is running:
FreeBSD gunsight1.neutralgood.org 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #1: Thu Dec  8 21:58:59 UTC 2011    
root <at> :/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

It's a stock 8.2-RELEASE kernel except I had to tweak it near the top of
vfs_mountroot() to delay before attempting to mount the root filesystem.
(Without my tweak it attempts to mount root before the USB drive is finished
getting attached.)

The dmesg shows this at the reboot:
mfi0: 24272 (422106527s/0x0020/info) - Patrol Read complete
mfi0: 24273 (422172000s/0x0020/info) - Patrol Read started 
mfi0: 24318 (422192750s/0x0020/info) - Patrol Read complete
mfi0: 24319 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware initialization started (PCI ID 0060/1000/1f0c/1028)
mfi0: 24320 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 1.22.12-0952
mfi0: 24321 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware initialization started (PCI ID 0060/1000/1f0c/1028)
mfi0: 24322 (boot + 3s/0x0020/info) - Firmware version 1.22.12-0952

Does this mean the machine did not lose power? I ask because my datacenter
had some sort of power incident and I'm not sure if the server lost power
or not. But if the kernel message buffer from before the incident is still
present then the machine never lost power, correct? The datacenter's power
incident I'm told happened somewhere around the time of the reboot so I
have to ask.

It looks like I didn't have dumps enabled. That's ... not helpful.

Is there a library issue between 9.0 and 9.1 -ThreadRuneLocale ?

Cannot update my ports.  Run portsnap followed by
portmaster -a and various ports will not update.
Keep getting error msg of 
Undefined symbol: "_ThreadRuneLocale"
This happens for instance in updating to png-1.5.15 or
to freetype2.

Are there library issues between 9.0 and 9.1?
I am running 9.0-stable on an i386

Last time I updated was in March and that went well.

Do I need to uninstall all my ports and start over?
Do I need to move up to 9.1?

Command line not responding

Running 9.0-Stable on an i386.

Whenever I type a command at the prompt I get
the output

/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.9: Undefined symbol "_ThreadRuneLocale"

and nothing else - the command will not run. Just the
above output.  Commands like "ls" and "exit" work, but not much
else.  This happends whether I am logged in a user or as root.
Cannot even halt the system from the command line.

Started to happen after trying to update the freetype2 port.
Got an error msg while updating libXft-2.1.14.  From that point
on I cannot use  the command line.

I have no idea what to try.  Any suggestions.

Re: revision higher than 250508 breaks webcam support

'ola!

Cool, you've nailed it down to a specific revision.

Can you create a PR (www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html) with all of this information?

Hans/USB folk - here's an interesting problem. The original email is below.

===

Sorry, for waiting this long to post this problem, I thought it would
be dealt with this week, but since it wasn't better to report it now.
I hope this is the right mailing list for this particular problem.

I am running FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE and using Logitech Webcam C525. I it's
not listed amongst the supported hardware, but it was working
perfectly until the updates that came this Sunday, 2013-05-12.

The problem I'm getting is this:

I keep getting this error message from the kernel, if I'm using
9.1-STABLE r250707

still mbuf leak in 9.0 / 9.1?

Hi list,
since we activated 10gbe on ixgbe cards + jumbo frames(9k) on 9.0 and now on 9.1 we recognize that after a
random period of time, sometimes a week, sometimes only a day, the
system doesn't send any packets out. The phenomenon is that you can't login via ssh, nfs and istgt is not
operative. Yet you can login on the console and execute commands.
A clean shutdown isn't possible though. It hangs after vnode cleaning, normally you would see detaching of
usb devices here, or other devices maybe? 
I've read the other post on this ML about mbuf leak in the arp handling code in if_ether.c line 558. We don't
see any of those notices in dmesg so I don't think that glebius fix would apply for us.
I'm collecting system and memory information every hour. 

Script looks like this.
less /etc/periodic/hourly/100.report-memory.sh 
#!/bin/sh

reporttimestamp=`date +%d-%m-%Y-%H-%M`
reportname=${reporttimestamp}.txt

cd /root/memory-mon

top -b > $reportname
echo "" >> $reportname
vmstat -m >> $reportname
echo "" >> $reportname
vmstat -z >> $reportname
echo "" >> $reportname
netstat -Q >> $reportname
echo "" >> $reportname
netstat -n -x >> $reportname

   KDE, and Xfce, bringing FreeBSD to Cubieboard and Hackberry boards,
   development of ARM and AMD GPU support, improving performance of
   UFS/FFS and callouts, and introducing a multipath TCP implementation
   for the network stack.
