    But only for one of the 2 machines that I upgrade with the same procedure.

    I don't get it! :-(

    I have 3 machines that play a role in this:
    * freebeast -- an SMP "build machine". It has a private mirror of the
      FreeBSD CVS repo, updated daily, and tracks RELENG_4 on a daily basis.

    * bunrab -- the machine I'm using to write this message.

    * janus -- another machine.

    The latter 2 machines are (for me) "production" machines; freebeast
    is not. The production machines do not build their own kernels (or
    much of anything else); those are built on freebeast.

    This morning, as I have for hundreds of previous occasions (every
    day for almost 3 years now), I updated /usr/src on freebeast, did
    the usual steps to build & install a snapshot of RELENG_4 as of the
    time of the CVS repo update, then rebooted.

    All was well.

    Then (as I have for 74 previous occasions), I built new kernels for
    each of bunrab & janus; no problems.

    Then for each of bunrab & janus, I logged in and issued

            sudo script /tmp/u

    Within "script," then, I issued a command alias that expanded to:

            mount -u -w /usr && mount -o ro {freebeast:,}/usr/src && \
            mount -o ro freebeast:/common/S1/obj /usr/obj && \
            cd /usr/src && whoami && mount && uname -a && date && \
            make installkernel && date && \
            rm -fr /usr/include.old && date && \
            mv /usr/include{,.old} && date && \
            mergemaster -p -u 0022 && date && \
            make installworld && date && \
             mergemaster -u 0022 -i && date && df -k

    as I have for the vast bulk of the previous 74 times.

    On bunrab, the process completed with no unusual phenomena:

    bunrab(4.10-S)[1] uname -a
    FreeBSD bunrab.catwhisker.org 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #74: Sun Aug 22 06:02:42 PDT 2004 root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S1/obj/usr/src/sys/BUNRAB i386
    bunrab(4.10-S)[2]

    On janus, I got:

    janus(4.10-S)[2]

    [end of log excerpt from janus]

    Now, I admit that janus:/etc/make.conf is a little different from the
    corresponding file on bunrab: In addition to specifying a different
    kernel image, the one on janus also specifies:

    NOPORTDOCS= true
    NO_SHAREDOCS= true
    NOGAMES= true
    NOINFO= true
    NO_OBJC= true

    (as well as its own SENDMAIL_MC).

    I tried taking the above NO* lines out of make.conf and re-trying the
    "make installkernel;" I got the same failure.

    I verified that /usr/share/mk/bsd.README was visible on janus (recall
    that /usr/src is a read-only NFS mount); it certainly didn't complain:

    janus(4.10-S)[2] ls -l /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.README
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 admin wheel 11267 Jul 19 2002 /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.README
    janus(4.10-S)[3]

    And same with /usr/share/mk.bsd.README:

    janus(4.10-S)[3] ls -l /usr/share/mk/bsd.README
    -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 11267 Aug 8 06:28 /usr/share/mk/bsd.README
    janus(4.10-S)[4]

    I tried adding some debug flags to the "make" invocation:

    At this point, I'm confused and stuck. The machine seems to be
    operating OK otherwise.

    I would appreciate any hints or clues for finding (and fixing) the cause
    of this error.

    Thanks,
    david

performance, as opposed to "bandwidth" or "latency."
