Solaris 10 zones / jails
Just picked this announcement up from /.: http://groups.google.com/groups? selm=c1j796%2424c%241%40news1nwk.SFbay.Sun.COMoe=UTF-8output=gplain Apparently, it is conceptually similiar to FreeBSD jails, but has slightly more advanced configuration management. Maybe some incentive for an enterprising hacker to move our implementation forward in that respect as well...

Re: Zones
I meant is there something in Linux akin in *functionality* to the zones of FreeBSD? So, in Linux, the name might not be zones but the functionality should be the same as the zones of FreeBSD. To answer this question, one should know what zones in FreeBSD are, quite well. So, for example, zone allocation is really fast because large memory is pre-allocated and is kept as a linked list of free elements, and you cannot really free a zone to the system till all elements of that zone are free etc.(I dont know a lot about zones myself, otherwise I wouldnt need to ask this question). Something in Linux which achives the same result... And I think there are a few people(who were) involved in Linux development on this list, so I posted it here.

Re: Zones
It really isn't a question of beneath their dignity, it's just not what the mailing list is for. People who are interested in answering easy questions read -questions. People hwo are interested in discussing technical issues read -hackers. While there is a certain amount of overlap, you're more likely to get a better answer asking people who are interested in answering questions. ==ml PS: If I had any idea what a zone in Linux was, I would have just answered the question.

Re: Zones
[Replies have been pointed to -chat.] Michael Lucas [EMAIL PROTECTED] types: People who are interested in answering easy questions read -questions. Um - people who are interested in helping others by answering questions read -question. Not all the questions on -questions are easy. Not all of them have answers. People who are interested in discussing technical issues read -hackers. While there is a certain amount of overlap, you're more likely to get a better answer asking people who are interested in answering questions. That's certainly right. If you ask a question properly, the worst case on -questions is that you'll be pointed to another list - -scsi and -multimedia are good examples, or -hackers for some - where people who are more likely to know the answer hang out. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
