Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 19:07:41 -0400 From: "David E. Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am wading through the portalfs and nullfs source, but I am desperately lost. I would love to be able to find out who would be willing to help out with questions. I feel I would be spamming far too many people by just sending to -hackers. Some of the topics I am curious about are general fs-style questions, what the various vop/vfs calls do. Also I would like to know how to setup a shared memory segment between kernel and user space (as matt dillon suggested). Finally I would like to know how the buffer-cache interacts with the filesystem layer.
