Re: Stability of netbsd-10 on real hardware?



I've managed to get netbsd-10 installed running under qemu-system-m68k,
which emulates a Apple Macintosh Quadra 800. Building a few random things
and running some random stuff, I've tripped over a bunch of little stability
issues, and I'm wondering if these are as a result of the emulation, netbsd,
or perhaps compilers. MacOS 8.1 seems stable, although I'd imagine that
netbsd stresses the emulation far more. I've seen internet breadcrumbs
saying that Linux is also stable.

I'm not running with these:

options MAXDSIZE=268435456
options DIAGNOSTIC
options DEBUG
options LOCKDEBUG

I'm running NetBSD 10.0_BETA from 1-Jan-2023 with a GENERIC kernel with DJMEMCMAX and MAC68K_MEMSIZE=264 on a Quadra 650 with 264 megs of memory.

I haven't seen anything that looks like any sort of intermittent issues, and the system has built lots of packages:

https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/m68k/10.0_2022Q4/All/

This includes zstd, but I haven't tried cmake and friends yet.

What's the date of tree from which your NetBSD was built?

John
