They act like a file system (because they are a file system), they can be backed by a file system or whatever you wish (i've got both memory servers and file system servers) and they allow processes to create shared, private data to support such things as a clipboard. You don't need to write a special daemon, you just need to get private name spaces working on freebsd. I have a first piece in the v9fs file system, which is a memory file system but which is intended to support private name spaces in the future. Note that private name spaces work just fine over a network. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
