I run BOINC on one of my computers, and I need to suspend the BOINC processes ahead of the periodic tasks, and let them resume their work afterwards. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Fri Dec 18 16:29:49 2015 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2227A4C260 for <freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:29:49 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from lobo1@abv.bg) Received: from smtp-out.abv.bg (smtp-out.abv.bg [194.153.145.80]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3DD93144C for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:29:48 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from lobo1@abv.bg) Received: from nm21.abv.bg (mail91.ni.bg [192.168.151.140]) by smtp-out.abv.bg (Postfix) with ESMTP id 47FDE56EF0E for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:23:17 +0200 (EET) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; s=smtp-out; d=abv.bg; c=simple; q=dns; b=cq0vdgrO/5DWlrm0PaUisn3yCqxYITsyWVUI8MhARNNuBjzbcSQ+kDR6oZvMxru7w alquNnsP+YWaUgdugpyrSpKCLFE3H/NFCZnoQcQ4z1/kp8lsgRBesUL4SgH+dTaAJoG pZmZ7tz+tfPm55TZXB/U5+MR2E41aS5rNDQ7zbc= DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=simple/simple; d=abv.bg; s=smtp-out; t=1450455797; bh=d61e/+NVtwwWYsQOUCxfc2tK5vYJ/FbpLKbYFKpEINU=; h=Date:From:To:Message-ID:Subject:MIME-Version:Content-Type:DKIM; b=NVWTWq39fo3uHkKL3t1MBNyLZwIrwVNBkh+C3fwi2bs5vlE5WMvs7UH7HqlBC8hYm yxjPh5erS1AM9y5XprmMUX14x/3zZ5BevEA/0ulhi+VPnxTU3a5/RBdhuZQql9yzeZ fTFzFz44a1R3uLPCSzEn90QKKgpzOzZVRuxXk0OE= Received: from nm21.abv.bg (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by nm21.abv.bg (Postfix) with ESMTP id 118EC120139 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:23:17 +0200 (EET) Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 18:23:17 +0200 (EET) From: Georgi Manov <lobo1@abv.bg> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <1171783145.1510695.1450455797069.JavaMail.apache@nm21.abv.bg> Subject: Kernel compile error MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: AbvMail 3.0 X-Originating-IP: 31.24.216.150 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.20 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.20 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:29:49 -0000 Hello, I am very new to the BSD world(must say I've been loving it so far) and I am trying to compile my first kernel. After a long-long time of reading and configuring I hit on rocks and I can't go through. I already checked the forums, the mailing lists, the handbook and on google but I can't find anything about the issue I'm running into. So, I decided to put through question as advised in the handbook. In case you wonder why I've done this or that, and what's the purpose of this compile - it's entirely educational and experimental - all of the settings I've set I've checked with dmesg to make sure they exists(or don't exist). I'm not sure I'm allowed to attach files so, I've pasted the output here. I'm did a svnlite update . in /usr/src to make sure I'm using the latest version of the repo. Any help/guidance will be greatly appreciated. Here's my compilation error as a result of make buildkernel KERNCONF=KOPPARBERG /usr/src/sys/fs/devfs/devfs_vnops.c:67:26: error: static declaration of 'devfs_specops' follows non-static declaration static struct vop_vector devfs_specops; ^ /usr/src/sys/sys/vnode.h:824:26: note: previous definition is here extern struct vop_vector devfs_specops; ^ /usr/src/sys/fs/devfs/devfs_vnops.c:1767:26: error: static declaration of 'devfs_specops' follows non-static declaration static struct vop_vector devfs_specops = { ^ /usr/src/sys/sys/vnode.h:824:26: note: previous definition is here extern struct vop_vector devfs_specops; ^ 2 errors generated. *** Error code 1 Stop. make[2]: stopped in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KOPPARBERG *** Error code 1 Stop. make[1]: stopped in /usr/src *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/src and here's my kernel config file(minus top comments): cpu HAMMER ident KOPPARBERG #makeoptions DEBUG=-g # Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols #makeoptions WITH_CTF=1 # Run ctfconvert(1) for DTrace support options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET # InterNETworking options INET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options TCP_OFFLOAD # TCP offload options SCTP # Stream Control Transmission Protocol options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support #options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists #options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories #options UFS_GJOURNAL # Enable gjournal-based UFS journaling #options QUOTA # Enable disk quotas for UFS #options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device options NFSCL # New Network Filesystem Client options NFSD # New Network Filesystem Server options NFSLOCKD # Network Lock Manager options NFS_ROOT # NFS usable as /, requires NFSCL options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem #options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_PART_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. #options GEOM_RAID # Soft RAID functionality. options GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization #options COMPAT_FREEBSD32 # Compatible with i386 binaries #options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 #options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 #options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6 #options COMPAT_FREEBSD7 # Compatible with FreeBSD7 #options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI #options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support #options STACK # stack(9) support #options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory #options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues #options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128 # Prevent printf output being interspersed. options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev #options HWPMC_HOOKS # Necessary kernel hooks for hwpmc(4) options AUDIT # Security event auditing #options CAPABILITY_MODE # Capsicum capability mode #options CAPABILITIES # Capsicum capabilities options PROCDESC # Support for process descriptors options MAC # TrustedBSD MAC Framework #options KDTRACE_FRAME # Ensure frames are compiled in #options KDTRACE_HOOKS # Kernel DTrace hooks #options DDB_CTF # Kernel ELF linker loads CTF data options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel options RACCT # Resource accounting framework options RACCT_DEFAULT_TO_DISABLED # Set kern.racct.enable=0 by default options RCTL # Resource limits # Debugging support.

The P= OS pc being an older hardware system it uses the MBR (master boot record) f= ormate. Freebsd 10.x releases do not use that format any more. Try doing a = .iso cdrom install and this time do not take the hard drive default, instea= d select the MBR option. You can verify this as the cause by putting the 80= gb H.D. you all ready installed 10.2 on into a newer pc that is running 10.= 0 or newer and it will boot ok. If I remember correctly the 7.x series defa= ulted to the MBR formate. There is one got ya, the HD you installed 10.x on= is now formated with the new gpart boot formate. I do not know if the 10.x= bsdinstaller MBR option will identify the HD has the gpart formate and iss= ue the commands to delete that formate from the 80gb HD with 10.x installed= on it You can run this little simple script called gpart.nuke to prepare t= he HD for MBR install method. #! /bin/sh echo "What disk do you want" echo = "to wipe? For example - da1 :" read disk echo "OK, in 10 seconds I will des= troy all data on $disk!" echo "Press CTRL+C to abort!" sleep 10 diskinfo ${= disk} | while read disk sectorsize size sectors other do # Delete MBR and p= artition table. dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/${disk} bs=3D${sectorsize} coun= t=3D1 # Delete GEOM metadata. dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/${disk} bs=3D${se= ctorsize} oseek=3D`expr $sectors - 2` count=3D2 done Sorry for not inline posting, but I don't think I can do that on this mobil= e app. As I mentioned, the last time I attempted to install FreeBSD on this machin= e, I did use MBR partitioning. And this was on a hard drive that I had veri= fied had MBR partitions on it. Though thinking back, I'm not sure I did a gpart destroy on the drive first= , so the installer may have created a GPT container on it before I started.= I've not had a chance to do anything with this today and won't be able to = get back to it until tomorrow at the earliest and maybe not until next week= . My Windows PC that I was hooking the failed hard drives up to in order to c= heck the drives should have been able to initialize and reformat the hard d= rive, but it wouldn't do that, but it may be an issue with the IDE to USB a= dapter I was using. (That machine does recognize GPT and actually has Windo= ws installed that way.) I'm thinking the easiest thing to do is going to be to put the drive in ano= ther PC and install there and then put that drive into my POS. But feel free to offer other suggestions as I won't be able to get to this = very soon. -- John McDonnell mcdonnjd@pcam.org Sent from Outlook<http://taps.io/outlookmobile>; Mobile
