RE: Disk scheduling in FreeBSD

2003-02-28 Thread Paul Robinson
FWIW, Although the original anticipatory scheduler prototype was made for FreeBSD, it cannot be used in the base system, unless reimplemented, due to the license. I wonder if the Linux guys redid it or simply didn't notice. The option of configuring it for runtime is welcome, I think.

kern/40611 linux compatibility fix

2003-02-28 Thread Matthew Seaman
Dear Hackers, Is there any chance that the patch given in kern/40611 could be committed to the 4-STABLE tree? It has the desirable effect of making eg. the linux-sun-jdk14 port usable as a non-root user. This would appear to my untutored eye to be a sub-set of the differences already existing
