Hi all, If you have 'device em' in you customized kernel config file, you will need to add following line: device ig_hal If you have 'dev/netif/em' in your MODULES_OVERRIDE (/etc/make.conf), you will have to add: dev/netif/ig_hal to MODULES_OVERRIDE Best Regards, sephe -- Live Free or Die

It's listed on the Downloads page on the DragonFly website now too. I'll add FTP access when I can get to it. Speaking of mirrors in Russia, there is no internet in the Asian part of Russia, let alone any mirrors, so it's a bit strange that Russian mirrors are still listed in the Asian section of the mirrors page. :) C.
Hammer question
I am very intrigued with the HAMMER filesystem. I am a heavy Linux user and at work we use Linux exclusively. I was curious how hammer manages dynamic inodes. On ext3 we pre create inodes which is a fixed amount. How is hammer doing this? Sorry if this is a newbie question. I asked the same question on ext3 list and no response there. TIA

Inode numbers are 64 bit quantities (well, actually 2^63 bits... the positive 64 bit integer space only). Inode numbers in HAMMER cannot be reused for the life of the filesystem. This allows HAMMER to track mirroring (and ultimately cluster) operations regardless of how long mirroring targets are offline. -Matt Matthew Dillon dil...@backplane.com
Re: Hammer question
Thankyou. I will start dust of my CS books to start looking into Btrees.

I was always taught that Asia was the continent from Ukraine on westwards, but that was back when Czechoslovakia and the USSR still existed. Should we remove the by-continent distinctions?
