Yesterday a new version of NetBSD was tagged in CVS. NetBSD-current 4.99.73 was tagged as netbsd-5 - next stable version. There are still some bugs to fix, but generally it is stable. One problem, which hits me on NetBSD-current/amd64 is the performance of the WAPBL - journal for FFS. There are some patches for that: PR 39564. But I haven’t that problem much on NetBSD-current/i386. Speaking of which, I’ve updated to newest current on a laptop to find it is 5.

I was on “Bieszczadzkie Anioły” festival, on which I could see “Stare Dobre Małżeństwo” band from close and have met a couple of peoples. But, like all good things, it is over now :-( For consolation I have that: gallery. Enjoy viewing! ;-)

I have added today new disk for home partition. Until now everything was placed on one 10GB disk with the system. Now myrkr have second disk 500GB, which is used entirely by /home. Adding was easy as that commands: fdisk -u wd1 disklabel -e wd1 newfs -O2 wd1e And adding to fstab, that’s all. I have used FFS because LFS is still considered experimental and unstable. Now I can move my main repository of files to myrkr and can turn off kashyyyk so that I can be more green.

Tonight I have just configured new machine with NetBSD to become my new gateway. And now it is. Most features are already done (http, mysql, ipv6, shell). Only thing to configure is ejabberd and openvpn, which I’m using privately. So - here it is: myrkr> uname -srm NetBSD 4.0_STABLE i386 Hereis dmesg from that machine. PS: I just love PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS, which send you mail with content of MESSAGE file of the package.

Today I have setup IPv6 on my home LAN. Now I can connect to websites, which use IPv6 with my unique address from my laptop. Most work was done on a Linux router, on client it was only one command: sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1 That’s all. On Linux (router) except for setup tunnel to tunnelbroker it’s only matter of configuring and running radvd. And of course, reconfigure some daemons to listen on IPv6.
