Oh! AFAIK, it used to include 01_configfs.patch.
Perhaps, ckrm-f0.4-2614.tz has been updated since I downloaded it.

As you guess, the contents of ckrm-f0.4-2614-single.patch and
ckrm-f0.4-2614.tz are exactly the same thing. You don't need to apply
the patches in ckrm-f0.4-2614.tz after ckrm-f0.4-2614-single.patch
applied.

We welcome everybody who want to join the project.

If you are interested in writing a new resource controller,
the following document would help you. Although it hasn't
been updated for f-series CKRM, it is still useful.

http://ckrm.sourceforge.net/ckrm-controller-howto.txt

The numtasks controller, kernel/ckrm/ckrm_numtasks.c, is also
useful as a sample resource controller program, because
it is the simplest one.

Or if you are interested in using CKRM, we'd appreciate it if you
give us your comment, bug report, or anything else about CKRM and
its resource controllers.

Just one thing I wonder is why you don't use the latest patch
series against 2.6.15.

Hi MAEDA,

Thanks again.
No particular reason for not using 2.6.15 patch. Just I have the source code of 2.6.14 kernel at hand. Also I guess that to have initial understanding of CKRM functionality and code, I can just apply the patch for 2.6.14. Also anyways the kernel is going to move on like 2.6.15, 2.6.16 etc..right ?
Please let me know if I am wrong or miss something.

Also , first I plan to go in to the code of CKRM and understand how things are done. Then I will have confidence to contribute to the proj ect.

Thanks,
Rajaram.
