change templates to use https for manpage webservers
The manpage webserver now redirects to https.
The manpage web admin, kim, requested that the links to be changed
to https.
Webpages regenerated to use the new template URLs.
Note that some pages still have old URLs hardcoded without using
macros. These still can be fixed -- see
http://netbsd.org/developers/www.html#manpages for instructions.

<h1>Mounting an old FFSv1 file system warning</h1>
<div class="sect1">
<div class="titlepage"></div>
<div class="sect2">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="why"></a>Why do I get this warning?</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Sometimes when mounting a file system, the kernel will output
the following warning:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
root on wd0a dumps on wd0b
CGSIZE(fs) miscalculated by one - this file system may have been created by
an old (buggy) userland, see
http://www.NetBSD.org/docs/ffsv1badsuperblock.html
root file system type: ffs
</pre>
<p>
or an even more scary version:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
# mount /home
mount_ffs: /dev/raid2a on /home: incorrect super block
ERROR: cylinder group size mismatch: fs_cgsize = 0x4800, fs->fs_cgsize = 0x4000, CGSIZE(fs) = 0x4003
</pre>
<p>
which prevents using the disk completely.
</p>
<p>
This originally was suspected to happen when the file system has been created with a very
ancient newfs utility - the bug causing this mis-setup was fixed in revision 1.96
of src/sbin/newfs/mkfs.c, on January 11, 2006.
</p>
<p>
But later <a class="ulink" href="http://gnats.NetBSD.org/50070" target="_top">analysis</a>
resulted in a fix of the slightly over-eager sanity check done by the
kernel.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="action"></a>Is emergency action needed?</h3></div></div></div>
<p>If you get the first form and can still mount the file system: no,
you can just ignore the issue.
The second variant of the error prevents usage of the filesystem,
so you need to upgrade your kernel (see below).</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="longterm"></a>What is the (long term) recommended action to solve the issue?</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Assuming the affected file system is not actually of the ancient
(broken) variant created with a pre-2006 binary: install a newer
kernel. You should only see this message on some versions of
-current, so upgrading to a recent -current kernel (newer than
october 22, 2015) should fix it.
</p>
<p>
Otherwise:
back up all your data from this partition, use a modern newfs(8) to
recreate the filesystem and restore the data.
