This is a list of open issues that need to be resolved for FreeBSD
5.1. If you have any updates for this list, please e-mail
re@FreeBSD.org.
Issue | Status | Responsible | Description |
ipfw/ipfw2 alignment issues on alpha/sparc64 |
In progress |
&a.luigi; |
There are reports of alignment problems with ipfw and/or ipfw2
on 64-bit platforms (specifically alpha and sparc64). |
ia64 stability |
-- |
-- |
&a.kris; reports high instability of 5.0-CURRENT on ia64
machines, such as the pluto* machines. These problems need to be
fixed in order to get a successful package build. |
MAC Framework devfs path fixes |
In progress |
&a.rwatson; |
&a.green; has submitted patches to improve the consistency
of the pathnames passed into the MAC Framework devfs labeling
entry points. These patches need to be thoroughly reviewed
and tested, then merged. |
Panic on load/unload a kernel module for a driver already
statically linked into the kernel. |
Patch approved |
&a.mux; |
If a network device driver, possibly any driver, is linked
into the kernel and then loaded and unloaded as a module,
the kernel will panic. This has been observed with both
if_dc and if_fxp. |
rtld-elf thread-safety |
patch submitted |
&a.kan; |
Update the run-time link editor (rtld) thread-safe with
libpthread. |
rpc.lockd(8) stability |
In progress |
&a.rwatson; |
rpc.lockd(8) client-side and server-side NFS locking appears to
have a number of serious bugs which prevent NFS locking from working
properly in a number of common scenarios. These bugs must be
resolved to ship 5.1-RELEASE. Work is underway to classify and
track the bugs. |
data corruption reports |
In progress |
&a.peter;, &a.bmilekic; |
There have been reports of memory/data corruption on some systems;
one working hypothesis is that this corresponds to an undocumented
bug in a particular line of Intel and AMD processors, but it's
unclear whether current work-arounds are correcting or masking the
problem. Patches are being circulated to test this hypothesis,
but developers are encouraged to be on the lookout for possible
data corruption bugs. |
Issue | Status | Responsible | Description |
Fresh ACPI-CA import |
-- |
-- |
The 20030228 vendor sources have been imported. Further testing is
appreciated. |
PAE support for i386 |
-- |
-- |
PAE support allows the use of up to 64GB of RAM on Pentium Pro and above
systems. Virtual addresses are still constrained to 32-bits. |
if_wi problems on Lucent hardware |
-- |
-- |
The recently upgraded if_wi driver is more tuned to Prism hardware
than to Lucent hardware, resulting in system lockups and poor performance
when using Lucent hardware. These problems are believed to be fixed
but more testing is welcome. |
UFS2 as installation, newfs default |
-- |
&a.rwatson; |
For 5.1-RELEASE, the default file system type for newly created
file systems is UFS2 rather than UFS1. newfs(8) and sysinstall(8)
have been updated to use this new default. Testing to make sure all
goes well after the change (committed on April 20, 2003) is
vital. |
NSSwitch support |
-- |
&a.nectar; |
Support for pluggable directory services using NSS, including
adaptations of current directory services (local databases, NIS),
and support for new services (LDAP, Active Directory, etc).
This change has been committed, and requires broader testing. |
Spurious alpha panics |
-- |
-- |
&a.kris; reports that he has seen several unique panics on the
alpha machines, but since gdb -k doesn't work on alpha I haven't
been able to get more than a DDB traceback. No-one has looked
into them. |
