Ditto here. :-) I had quit complaining about this for a while, even though my DVD drive hadn't been working for quite some time. Didn't want to be a constant nuisance. :-) Glad to see the fix is in. :-) -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "In Unix veritas" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I've used a similar data structure for a special-purpose allocator before, and it had extremely low allocation time overhead--- basically a few memory references for every level of the tree in the common case. Unless for some strange reason it pessimizes processes with a small number of file descriptors significantly, it would be really great to have this in the tree! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It doesn't seem to make a noticeable impact on execution time for processes with small numbers of descriptors. It's probably swamped by the overhead of mode switches, locking, and filesystem operations. What makes uneasy is the amount of extra memory it consumes when processes have a small number of descriptors: (32**2)/8 = 128 bytes (when int is 32 bits), or (64**2)/8 = 512 bytes (when int is 64 bits). I've been thinking of switching to a flat bitmap for small fd tables, possibly just using a single "int", or falling back to the old way of scanning fd_ofiles directly. Once I decide what to do about that and find someone to test my latest patch on a 64-bit machine, I'll commit it.

"-p" seems unlikely, since the display is literally shutoff. The monitor goes into a power-save mode, so it appears that as soon as sysinstall touches whatever devices it touches, the onboard video stops generating output. I've also tried a serial console, which seems to fail the same way. There is simply no output to the serial console after sysinstall starts, and the machine appears to be hung. So, this was with 5.0 and 5.1. I will have to try 5.2 and see if it has the same problem. No one has contacted me about my PR, or even given me any suggestions about more debugging info that I can gather, so unless this gets fixed by chance, I suspect that 5.x is just going to orphan a significant number of machines. Which is a shame, since 5.x would be clearly superior on a quad Xeon machine than 4.9-RELEASE. > Eric Tom ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
