This document lists errata items for FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE, + “®” symbol.
This document lists errata items for FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE, containing significant information discovered after the release or too late in the release cycle to be otherwise included in the release documentation. This information includes security advisories, as well as news relating to the software or documentation that could affect its operation or usability. An up-to-date version of this document should always be consulted before installing this version of FreeBSD.
This errata document for FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE will be maintained until the release of FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE.
This errata document contains “late-breaking news” about FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE Before installing this version, it is important to consult this document to learn about any post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and fixed.
Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the “current errata” for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at https://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/, plus any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location.
Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of this document (as of the time of the snapshot).

FreeBSD/i386 installed on ZFS may crash during boot
when the ZFS pool mount is attempted while booting an
unmodified GENERIC kernel.
A system tunable has been added as of revision
r286584 to make the
kern.kstack_pages tunable configurable
without recompiling the kernel.
To mitigate system crashes with such configurations,
choose Escape to loader prompt in the
boot menu and enter the following lines from loader(8)
prompt, after an OK:
set kern.kstack_pages=4 boot
Add this line to
/boot/loader.conf for the change to
persist across reboots:
kern.kstack_pages=4
[2017-07-21] Due to a bug in earlier versions of clang(1) that is difficult to work around in the upgrade process, to upgrade the system from sources via buildworld to -CURRENT or 11.1-RELEASE, it is necessary to upgrade machines running 9.x to at least revision r286035, or machines running 10.x to revision r286033. Source-based upgrades from 10.3-RELEASE are not affected. This differs from the historical situation where one could generally upgrade from anywhere on earlier stable branches, so caution should be exercised.
[2017-07-25] FreeBSD/arm64 currently lacks EFI real-time clock (RTC) support, which may cause the system to boot with the wrong time set.
As a workaround, either enable ntpdate(8) or
include ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" in
rc.conf(5).
[2017-07-25] A late issue was discovered with FreeBSD/arm64 and "root on ZFS" installations where the root ZFS pool would fail to be located.
There currently is no workaround.
[2017-07-26] Note for those upgrading from 11.1-RC2 in VirtualBox:
If system panics were experienced when upgrading from
11.1-RC1 to 11.1-RC2, and the emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions{,-nox11}
port was built locally as a resolution, the port will either
need to be rebuilt when upgrading from 11.1-RC2 to
11.1-RELEASE, or reinstall the package from the pkg(8)
mirrors using either:
#pkg install -f virtualbox-ose-additions
or
#pkg install -f virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11
To ensure the system does not panic after rebooting into
the updated kernel, it is recommended to disable the
vboxguest service in rc.conf(5)
prior to rebooting the system if possible, or use
pkg(8) to forcefully reinstall the package.
Systems being upgraded from 11.1-RC1 and earlier and - 11.1-RC3 to 11.1-RELEASE should be unaffected.
This file, and other release-related documents, + 11.1-RC3 to 11.1-RELEASE should be unaffected.
[2017-07-27] The release notes erroneously state
+ revision r315330 was sponsored by Rubicon
+ Communications, LLC (Netgate), when in fact this work was
+ done by Hiroki Mori independently.
