With some common sense tweaks, a G4 450Mhz is a very

Now, I''m not big on microkernels, but a pure virtual machine abstraction is at least not the distateful academic mental masturbation that we saw in the 80''s. --- end --- Cheers, James Scott Purveyor of Non-distasteful Academic Mental Masturbation ----------...

Hi, recently we (oVirt) have started discussing whether the way virt-v2v handles import from OVA files is good. And I would be interested in ideas how it can be improved. It is likely somebody already gave some thought to this problem. TL;DR: Extracting the OVA before import is a problem for large VMs (in sizes of TBs). Can we change something to prevent the extraction and work directly over

...eady use it for writing windows drivers and it works really really well. I want to change it though because: 1) It knows only IA-32(e) and IA-64. Right now I only target IA-32e (x64) but I'd like my system to be portable. (Actually I also target a Windows, software only target. My system is a microkernel and runs most stuff in user space. Hardware is 100% abstracted in a shared library that links with the kernel. The abstraction is so good I can have a software HAL.DLL, besides the IA-32 bare metal HAL.DLL and link it *with the same kernel binary* that runs on bare hardware and run the OS as softwa...

...e trivial. I asked Kevin if there is a way to get qemu to access a disk image at an offset within another file, but there is no such feature at the moment. It's possible with `losetup', but that requires root :-( (At this point I would normally grumble about how easy this would be with a microkernel, but I won't do that now.) David Gilbert suggested looking at qemu-nbd which has an --offset option, allowing a particular offset with another file to be accessed. If we wanted to do it entirely within virt-v2v, I think this would be the way to go - the complex logic could be hidden inside v2v...

I'm need to run a rsync server on a Quad 2.8Ghz , 1Gb RAM, 1Terabyte of disk.. Dell 725N - it's a storage, NAS type box running W2K, RAID 5 etc.. A real beast.. :-) The Unix guys want to backup their boxes to this beast using rsync clients. It would seem that Windows Services for Unix (WSU) is the key.. Current version gives me a fully compliant POSIX environment, not reliant on

Hi Bjarke, > * Provide an efficient runtime implementation that does not > depend on reading the DWARF EH information. why? The DWARF EH info encodes two things: (1) how to restore registers; and (2) matching rules for exception objects, and what to do with them. You will need something along the lines of (1) if you unwind out of the middle of functions. As for (2), if you

Hi, I want to support the unwind instruction on x86. Specifically I want to: * Provide an efficient runtime implementation that does not depend on reading the DWARF EH information. * It should be self hosted, meaning the runtime is static linked in. I want to use it kernel mode. * Unwinding should be a read-only operation regarding the stack, so I can create a stack dump in the

Puppet Labs is really thrilled to announce, in conjunction with EMC, our new open source bare metal provisioning tool: Razor. Razor is next generation provisioning software that handles bare metal hardware and virtual server provisioning with inventory discovery and tagging, rule-based policy management, and extensible broker plugin integration. It integrates closely with Puppet and Facter. The
