panic while removing files in FreeBSD 9.2

freebsd_crash

if you occured server panic on FreeBSD 9.2 using journaled soft updates you probably had not clean shutdown and there is some inconsistency (though filesystem is clean) – for better stability disable journaled soft updates:

boot into single mode and after full fsck do:

# tunefs -j disable /dev/filesystem
# reboot

or if you want to using journaled soft updates do manual fsck in single user mode without using journal

 # USE JOURNAL? [yn] n

then the server panics should not appear to the next unclean shutdown…

cannot ping from jail in FreeBSD 9.2

if you obtain:

ping: socket: Operation not permitted

although:

 security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1

is set in /etc/sysctl.conf
you should add an option in the rc.conf

jail_yourjailname_parameters="allow.raw_sockets=1"

or add this option in /etc/jail.conf if you are using new configuration scheme added in FreeBSD 9.1 – see man jail.conf
