Re: Clustering FreeBSD

What am I doing wrong? Given a diameter of appr. 7cm, I'd come at appr 0.7Mach. Does that mean that within a few years my machine will go KABOOM when booting? Mark -- Nice testing in little China...

Have you read the section on kernel debugging in the handbook? Yep, done that kind of stuff before, but never on non-crashing kernels :-( Problem is I want to get at the stacks of various running processes, and the syscalls they are making. I started using the vinum gdb macros, which got me a bit further, though not yet enough, I'm afraid. Mark -- Nice testing in little China...

Re: open ref counts in CAM and vn

VMWare: porting kernel modules to FreeBSD
Hi there, I had a look recently at the code for one of the kernel modules that VMWare requires (driver-only.tar), and it looks like something that should be portable to FreeBSD, although there is some messy stuff in it (assembly that seems to be using Linux specific stuff, brrr..) But anyway: it looks feasable. Is anyone already working on this, or are some people interested in helping with this? As far as I can see, the linux emulation is good enough to run the vmware program, all you need to do is implement /dev/vmmon and /dev/vmnet, given the fact that the code is written really unportable, so there is some rewriting to be done. Then with the KLD's vmmon,vmnet and linux you should be able to run vmware.

Right now they are working mostly on the Linux stuff where it is OS sensitive. However, it would be appreciated if somebody wanted to work on the FreeBSD specific code. I think that for my purpose it might be interesting, but taking way too long to become productive enough. I'm one of the big group of You must run Outlook! And I can probably arrange for the license, so no problem with using VMWare if possible.
