Re: CVS commit: src/sys/fs/union
My vote would be to remove [unionfs]; it doesn't work and the only reason it was ever brought in had to do with alleged locking improvements. Is anyone using it? I used to make heavy use of unionfs, and I had no problems. (That was on a uniprocessor machine several years ago.) I sometimes used five layers: a base set of sources; a unionfs layer for third party changes; a unionfs layer for my own changes; a unionfs layer for the obj directories; and a final unionfs layer for files created or changed at build time. For example, I could easily blow away all the build products but keep the obj directories, by unmounting the top layer unionfs, removing the files in its backing store, and then re-mounting it. Today, I'd use a smarter revision control system instead of the unionfs layers to manage the source files, but I might still want a unionfs layer to isolate changes made at build time. I have not used unionfs in the past few years, but it would be a pity to lose this functionality. --apb (Alan Barrett)

Do you mean `union'? `unionfs' was imported 2008/02/18 and was never enabled in any kernel config. -- Juergen Hannken-Illjes - hann...@eis.cs.tu-bs.de - TU Braunschweig (Germany)

Re: CVS commit: src
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It doesn't have to be ELF, I do it now on x86 for splash images. From /boot I load a .png, .jpg, or .bmp and add it to the module list but mark it as BI_MODULE_IMAGE (instead of BI_MODULE_ELF). I can then grab the blob from the kernel -- see arch/x86/x86/x86_machdep.c:module_init_md() On Wed, 23 Nov 2011, Thor Lancelot Simon wrote: Can't make one of those without an ELF toolchain, right?
