Given the recent (and ongoing) discussion about the so-called "FreeBSD BIOS", which has obvious HA implications, I'm wondering if there are enough people working on or interested in HA aspects of FreeBSD to begin a project. This would presumably include such things as: - Fairness-based scheduling - Warm (or hot) standby. - Warm (or progressive) restart. - Process replication or virtual synchrony. - Reduced boot time or rommable FreeBSD. - etc. as would take advantage of other ongoing things like the RAID stuff, LFS or journaled file-systems, etc. Not that I want to or would be competant to lead such a project, but I am working in that area, so I wanted to ping potential collaborators. -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
