Re: concurrent sysctl implementation

Ed, Thanks :) I'll be implementing this as discussed over the next few months thanks for the technical detail I've been extremely busy with finals. I will write the list with my thoughts within the next week, sorry for the delay. =jt On May 8, 2009, at 17:41, Ed Schouten wrote: Hi,

Re: bootstrapping gnat GCC on amd64

Just an update. Finally managed to get the i386 -> amd64 compiler to compile gcc 4.4.0. It took a few Makefile patches as for some reason, cross compilation breaks gnatmake. About to try to get the amd64 compiler to compile itself and run the test suite. Added a system-freebsd_x86_64.ads profile

kthreads and sched_relinquish

Hi, I'm writing a FreeBSD kernel module and I think I really misunderstand something. My module spawns a thread, which should be running while the module is loaded.

How to invalidate NFS read cache?

Hello, sporadically, I observe a strange but serious problem in our large NFS environment. NFS servers are Linux and OS X with StorNext/Xsan cluster filesystems, NFS clients Linux and FreeBSD. NFS client A changes a file, but nfs client B (running on FreeBSD) does still see the old version.
