<p>This errata document contains “late-breaking news” about FreeBSD
|
|
7.3-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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are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 <a
|
|
href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/"
|
|
target="_top">http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/</a>, plus any sites which keep up-to-date
|
|
mirrors of this location.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of
|
|
this document (as of the time of the snapshot).</p>

<p>[20100402] The FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE Release Notes incorrectly mentioned that a <code

class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">ps</span>(1)</span></a> utility. It
|
|
should have been a <code class="OPTION">-d</code> flag. The correct entry is:</p>

<p>[20100330] The <tt class="FILENAME">libc</tt> of FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE has the <a

|
|
function but <tt class="FILENAME"><dirent.h></tt> header file does not contain the
|
|
function prototype. This could cause programs compiled on the system to crash on
|
|
platforms such as FreeBSD/amd64, where <tt class="LITERAL">sizeof(void *)</tt> is greater
|
|
than <tt class="LITERAL">sizeof(int)</tt>. This problem has been fixed in <a

href="http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/205265" target="_top">r205265 (RELENG_7)</a>.
|
|
An Errata Notice for 7.3-RELEASE is planned.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>[20100330] It turns out that the <tt class="FILENAME">zfsloader</tt> in 7.3-RELEASE, a
|
|
new boot loader similar to <a

href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+7.3-stable">
|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">loader</span>(8)</span></a> but it
|
|
supports ZFS, does not work properly. This problem has been fixed in <a

|
An Errata Notice for 7.3-RELEASE is planned.</p>

<p>[20100323] The FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE Release Notes incorrectly mentioned that the <a

|
|
<span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span class="REFENTRYTITLE">hwpmc</span>(4)</span></a> driver

has been added though this driver has already been added in 7.0-RELEASE. The changes in

7.3-RELEASE are that <a
