Portable vkernel (emulator)

Hi, IMHO, Hammer is the killer-feature of DragonFly, too sad that I can't use it on another system until it gets ported. I'd of course love to run a native DragonFly on my laptop (I'm planning to do soon), but there is still some unsupported hardware etc. So instead of porting Hammer to other

Hammer on-the-move

Hi, I think it shouldn't be too hard to switch a hammer master into a slave and a slave to a master, isn't it? The reason why I'd love to do that is the following: At home, I'd like to access my files from the central file-server. This is even much faster than doing the same via a slow laptop

I did another bsdtalk interview. If you can get through my stuttering :-) I think I droned on a bit and it is highly technical, and mostly about HAMMER, so here it is! http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com -Matt

Creating lots of files on Hammer

Hi, I wrote a script that generates 1 million files in one directory on the hammer filesystem. The first 100k are created very quickly, then it starts to get less predictive. It stops completely after creating 836k files. I can still ping the machine, but I can't ssh into it any more. It's a
