I agree with the device vote. Also, if the interface to the vlan devices
are similar enough to ethernet that the bonding driver can easily
incorperate them, then you can get bonded (a.k.a. redundant) trunks for
cheap. This would lead to linux becoming a more robust router in practice.

Your analogy is flawed.
You state that "the kernel is the equivalent of an application", when
compared to user-space application/library relationships.
The flaw in this analogy is, a library does 'require! and use'
routines provided by the application. The library provides methods
and services

Hi,
I have been having problems using rename system call
on vfat file systems. I have looked at the kernel code
and tried everything I could do to figure out what

Hi,
I hope that I post this at the right place. There was
