FreeBSD-8.0 shortcomings
Here's a little list of problems encountered by me during 8-CURRENT (now 8.0-BETA3) usage.
Problem |
Status |
Notes |
Cannot use tar in i386 jail under adm64 kernel |
Fixed |
|
ipfw panic with gid checks |
Fixed |
|
ale(4) corrupts data unless rxcsum/txcsum are disabled |
Seems to be fixed |
Cannot reproduce it, at least |
Cannot mount NFS via UDP, umount NFS via TCP is buggy (hangs) |
umount seems to work |
|
UDF support lacks; cannot mount some images, others are mounted "partially" (not all files available) |
Still there |
|
mdconfig -l doesn't list md(4) devices when ran from plain user |
Still there |
|
usbhidctl doesn't work well with devices with multiple reports |
Still there |

UDF
There are images which FreeBSD cannot mount. Example: http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/d/b/ddb17dc1-a879-44dd-bd11-c0991d292ad7/6001.18000.080118-1840_x86fre_Server_en-us-KRMSFRE_EN_DVD.iso (1.8G). I've encountered other images that are mountable, but not files are visible after this (6G image, 3G du -s).
mdconfig
Since md(4) devices are anyway visible in /dev, so mdconfig -l should as well list them when ran from non-root. The best thing to do would be to store UID of user which created md(4) device, and only list his devices with mdconfig -l.
