and don't forget about hammer_shrink !

if only i had more free time, i'd implement it...
all the building blocks are in the tree... but ENOTIME :-(

Can you please tell us the tweaks? Some of us  might want to use it.

Thanks,

I know that the NVIDIA driver works, but I did have to do some slight
tweaking with corecode on the IRC channel before I got it to fully
work.  This was with my GTS 250 and a while ago though on 2.4 ;)

Wish you the best of luck with this endeavor.

Hello!

I'm new to the DFBSD. (I subscribed today). I use DragonFly for
desktop and I'm satisfied with this system.There is only one thing
upsets me - nvidia driver for my GeForce GTX 260. I tried this rep
(git://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/~corecode/nvidia.git) to make FreeBSD's
drivers works under DFBSD and I tried to compile nouveau from
pkgsrc/wip. Neither one nor the other failed. Please let me know if
someone has successful experience of getting hardware acceleration in
DFBSD?

Hi Matt,

I have applied the patch
DragonFly x17.net.intra 2.8-RELEASE DragonFly v2.8.2.16.gfc7bf0-RELEASE 
#3: Sat Nov  6 13:31:53 CET 2010 
r...@x17.net.intra:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/XEON  i386


tested "hammering" the ufs -
and so far your patch solved the problem, great!


Regards Goetz

Excellent, that backtrace was very useful.

Here is an untested kernel source patch for you to try.  You do need
to compile up a kernel to test this.  A spinlock was being held
through a softupdates callback.  The problem only occurs when running
on UFS (and since most of us run on HAMMER we didn't notice).

How to expand HAMMER running under LVM?

2010-11-06 Thread elekktretterr
I mean some equivalent of growfs for HAMMER. Im aware of "hammer
volume-add /dev/diskname", but it seems kind of redundant with LVM since
it's supposed to manage the volumes on behalf of HAMMER. Lets say I have
an LVM volume to which i add a disk to expand it, how should i grow the
filesystem? via volume-add?

Maybe Im wrong.

thanks
Petr
