Folks;
Today Sun BIG ADMIN website posted an article by Lynne Thompson entitled
"What's New in Patching "
See http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/sundocs/articles/patch-wn.jsp
Could somebody here elaborate more on the following statement....
".........Now, deferred-activation patching uses the loopback file
system (lofs) to ensure the stability of the running system. When a
patch is applied to the running system, the lofs preserves stability
during the patching process. These large kernel patches have always
required a reboot, but now the required reboot activates the changes
made by the lofs."..
It's a bit confusing......especially the part about "lofs preserves
stability during the patching process"....
Warmest Regards
