Thanks to James Hastings, this release supports the emmc drive on my HP Stream 14. I'm also seeing improved stability on the AMD2200G/amdgpu system.

Best discussed in a separate thread, but the "TL;DR" is:
|
|
|||
First try failed for a PIBKAC issue.
But I decided to do an upgrade a second time, hoping not to re-install and went very well and quick. Nice one can do that if necessary. |
|
|||
I installed amd64 6.7 from scratch in order to convert the root filesystem from ufs to ufs2.
ufs2 is y2k38 ready and seems faster then ufs. And an old bug from 6.1 is still here where /etc/rc hangs on "ttyflags -a". This happens only some of the time but when it hangs, the system must be powered off. It seems to be triggered by a pci serial card which shows up in dmesg as: com4 at puc0 port 0 apic 5 int 18: st16650, 32 byte fifo Apparently this uses both a tty04 and a cua04 device. The "ttyflags -a" command of /etc/rc hangs on the tty04 entry of /etc/ttys. And a simple fix is to comment out the tty04 line... I'm looking at the ttyflags.c code to try and narrow down the bug. Next, I'm going to do an i386 install and upgrade again from ufs to ufs2.

UFS2? I thought it's FFS2. Am I missing something?

How do you know if you have ffs or ffs2? I checked the fstab file after a fresh install and it says ffs. The reason I am not sure about this, is because I read something where it said ff2 is for drives bigger than 1TB, while my drives are 500GB.

IIRC dumpfs(8) may show it to you.

I usually wait at least a week before upgrading, This time I made the mistake of doing it early. Upgrading the base system was not a problem, but upgrading third-party packages is a nightmare. I have only been able to upgrade a tiny number in two days. Every mirror I try starts well, but after downloading a few items things grind to a halt. pkg_add waits doing nothing until I abort with ctrl-c. Occasionally returning

I used 'sysupgrade' for my first time, and was very impressed at how easy it was, compared to the old methods, everything went smoothly. Thanks
