Kirk told me a month or so ago that he :intended to fix the vnode locking. Not that this is particularly important, :but people shouldn't get the idea that Kirk's involvement had anything to :do with core since it did not. : :-DG : :David Greenman Let me put it this way: You didn't bother to inform anyone else who might have reason to be interested until it came up as an offhand comment at USENIX. Perhaps you should consider not keeping such important events to yourself, eh? Frankly, I am rather miffed -- if I had known that Kirk had expressed an interest a month ago I would have been able to pool our interests earlier. Instead I've been working in a vacuum for a month because I didn't know that someone else was considering trying to solve the problem. This does not fill me with rosy feelings. -Matt Matthew Dillon :Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org :Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
