To: current@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 04:22:19 -0500 (EST) From: "John S. Dyson" Reply-To: dyson@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG FYI, I am making good progress, finding lots of "good" (relatively minor, but can cause sporadic) problems in both NFS (getpages, putpages) and with our UFS getpages code. Also, I have a prelim fix for the MS_INVALIDATE problem alluded to by Ron Minnich. New things include more dynamic sensing of sequential fault behavior (the hooks have been there for a few years, but just haven't implemented them until now.) That has come virtually for free as a result of desperately needed cleanups in ffs_getpages. I expect my commits to happen on Fri night, and I would appreciate help in testing the changes. I will have "tested" them, but there is nothing like verifying proper behavior on a real system. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
