Having a Linux compatible procfs for Linux binaries has been on my TODO list for some time. I'm not currently working on that, though. I personally prefer a procfs implementation that doesn't need to be loaded as a module, but is part of the Linuxulator itself and also uses /proc as the mount point. Such an implementation is less confusing (ie doesn't generate a stream of questions of which the answer is: "load linux_procfs" :-). The expected infrastructural changes in the kernel to have the proper procfs implementation depending on the ABI also helps other emulators. Such an approach seems beneficial... Thoughts, ideas or other comments? -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
