[20130613] The vtnet(4) network interface driver displays the following message upon configuration when using QEMU 1.4.1 and later:
vtnet0: error setting host MAC filter table
This message is harmless when the interface has only one MAC address. The patch for this issue is filed to a PR kern/178955.
[20130609] There is incompatibility in jail(8)
configuration because the jail(8) utility and
rc.d/jail script has been changed. More
specifically, the following sysctl(8) variables cannot be
used to set the default parameters for jails:
security.jail.mount_zfs_allowed security.jail.mount_procfs_allowed security.jail.mount_nullfs_allowed security.jail.mount_devfs_allowed security.jail.mount_allowed security.jail.chflags_allowed security.jail.allow_raw_sockets security.jail.sysvipc_allowed security.jail.socket_unixiproute_only security.jail.set_hostname_allowed
These could be set by manually using sysctl(8) utility, the sysctl.conf(5) file, or for some of them the following variables in rc.conf(5):
jail_set_hostname_allow="yes" jail_socket_unixiproute_only="yes" jail_sysvipc_allow="yes"
These parameters must now be specified in
jail_parameters (or
jail_
for per-jail configuration) in rc.conf(5). For
example:jailname_parameters
jail_parameters="allow.sysvipc allow.raw_sockets"
The valid keywords are the following. For more detail, see jail(8) manual page.
allow.set_hostname allow.sysvipc allow.raw_sockets allow.chflags allow.mount allow.mount.devfs allow.mount.nullfs allow.mount.procfs allow.mount.zfs allow.quotas allow.socket_af
[20130608] FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE no longer supports FreeBSD CVS
repository. Some documents mistakenly refer to
RELENG_8_4_0_RELEASE as CVS tag for the release and
RELENG_8_4 as CVS branch tag for the
8.4-RELEASE security branch. However, FreeBSD Project no longer
supports FreeBSD CVS repository and 8.4-RELEASE has been released by
using FreeBSD subversion repository instead.
RELENG_8_4 corresponds to
svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/releng/8.4, and
RELENG_8_4_0_RELEASE corresponds to
svn://svn.FreeBSD.org/base/release/8.4.0.
Please note that FreeBSD source tree for 8.4-RELEASE and its security
branch cannot be updated by using official CVSup servers.
[20130607] (removed about a bge(4) network interface driver issue because it was incorrect)
[20130606] The fxp(4) network interface driver may not
work well with the dhclient(8) utility. More specifically,
if the /etc/rc.conf has the following
line:
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"
to activate a DHCP client to configure the network interface, the following notification messages are displayed and the dhclient(8) utility keeps trying to initialize the network interface forever.
kernel: fxp0: link state changed to UP kernel: fxp0: link state changed to DOWN
A patch to fix this issue will be released as an Errata Notice.
[20130606] As described in FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE Release Notes,
FreeBSD ZFS subsystem has been updated to support feature flags for
ZFS pools. However, the default version number of a newly
created ZFS pool is still 28.
This is because FreeBSD 9.0 and 9.1 do not support the feature
flags. This means ZFS pools with feature flag support cannot be
used on FreeBSD 9.0 and 9.1. An 8.X system with v28 ZFS pools can
be upgraded to 9.X with no problem. Note that zfs(8)
send and receive commands
do not work between pools with different versions. Once a ZFS
pool is upgraded from v28, there is no way to upgrade the system
to FreeBSD 9.0 and 9.1. FreeBSD 9.2 and later will support ZFS pools
with feature flags.
To create a ZFS pool with feature flag support, use the
zpool(8) create command and then the
zpool(8) upgrade command.
