Re: [fbsd] HEADS UP: FreeBSD 5.3, 5.4, 6.0 EoLs coming soon

Well, I suspect that most people with the resources to do what you ask have already moved on precisely because the EoL has been published. i.e., faced with that limited commitment, we had no choice but to (grudgingly and at the last minute) move on. I think the most likely path of success is, as y

fusefs, race-to-root

2007-02-10 Thread Paul Allen
Has anyone else observed that fusefs appears to suffer from the race-to-root problem that used to plague NFS prior to rev 1.39 of vfs_lookup.c? Paul ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman

Re: cc can't build 32-bit executables on amd64

2006-05-01 Thread Paul Allen
This was originally mentioned in amd64/76224 which was closed by obrien with the terse remark: "We don't yet support building 32-bit apps on a 64-bit system. We only barely support *running* them at this point." Really this deserves an errata mention at the very least. It just simply isn't intuit

Re: quota deadlock on 6.1-RC1

2006-05-05 Thread Paul Allen
One detail of this has to do with version numbering. The FreeBSD version number says a lot more about the userland than it does about the kernel per se. If we were to version the kernel arch, I think it would look more like this: '94 1.1.5.1 (Last Net/2) Version 0 Nov '94 2.0
