Its difficult or impossible to save the state of the kernel and restore the shadow copy. Its probably easier to save the state of a user program instead and restore it should the process dump core. Q to you:- what do you plan to do when saved copy of kernel contains information of a process that exited after copy was saved but before the kernel panic'ed required to be restored? regards -kamal _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
