Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I need to set aside memory for data. Assuming these kind of buffer is needed, I would like some feed back on the best way to do this. Thanks in advance. 1) set aside memory the kernel does not know about and manage it yourself; a) Issues -- how the hell do I manage/access it? 2) somehow dedicate memory that the kernel knows about with a daemon that never gets swapped? Is that possible with FreeBSD, I assume it is. a) Issues -- how do I keep it from getting swapped? -- Scott Smyth, Senior Developer R&D (770) 446-1332 ssmyth@realminfo.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
