You'll find kernel debugging is faster and easier than ever." yeah, thanks for notifying me ... I've been monitoring the kprobes project for some time now, and it really is interesting, especially as the code required for each arch is very small > maybe that could be _real_ useful for the vserver project ? :-) yeah, it probably could, especially for hunting down nasty stuff on a real system ... do you have any specific kernel debugging case in mind here? thanks again, Herbert > [0]: > http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-kprobes.html?ca=dgr-lnxw04Kprobe > > -- > > regards, > Georges Toth _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
