TODO items

Hi, While searching for round_page, I started reading the TODO list. I found what seems to be an older reference to switching to libio. Anyway, the actual point of this is to ask where the BFD exec server has been resurected or if it has been excised yet. James A. Morrison

vmstat cleanups

Hi, I noticed vmstat wasn't reporting the total amount of memory on my system. I'm not sure if it is the Hurd or Mach that is incorrectly counting memory some where, but I suspect it is Mach. Anyway, here is the patch. James A. Morrison 2002-06-16 James A. Morrison [EMAIL PROTECTED

Hi, I had noticed that ps and pptop would show the virtual size of some of my processes to be some large negative number, which seems wrong, so here is the patch I use to get only positive number for the resident size and the virtual size. James A. Morrison 2002-05-26 James A. Morrison

Comments about resident_size and virtual_size

Hi, It seems CMU expected task_basic_info.resident_size and task_basic_info.virtual_size to return the number of pages used, but it seems oskit-mach doesn't do that, gnumach probably returns the number of bytes used as well. James A. Morrison 2002-05-26 James A. Morrison [EMAIL PROTECTED

[patch] diskfs_create_protid

added an error_t to netfs_startup

Hi, This patch is cosmetic, but it helped me debug since I couldn't get gdb to print errno, where it would print error. Is this the better way to return the error? If yes, I will go through the rest of the hurd source looking for similar situations and fix them as well. 2002-03-9 James
