How the experts do it? (kernel dev)

2005-04-04 Thread klowd9 -
I would like to setup a virtual machine for developing and debugging the kernel, perhaps with the possibility of debugging from the host os to the guest system. Which software would best suite this: vmware, bochs, qemu ? Keep in mind my host os will be FreeBSD 5.4. So whatever runs best on that.

iSCSI (revisited?)

2005-04-04 Thread Justin Bennett
All, I was wondering what people thought of iSCSI and FreeBSD. Is it a viable option for creating SANs? I want to move away from tape backups, and have numerous production FreeBSD machines that I need to back up data from. Any other ideas for a disk to disk backup solution that people have used
