Hi, I updated the copy of the link management document on the UV page. I cleaned up the introduction, added some information on SMF, and incorporated a few comments on section three. The document is at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/clearview/uv/link_id_management.pdf If you could take a look, it would be appreciated. I have two questions about the SMF portion that I'm especially curious to hear people's thoughts on: 1 - Is the table of link properties correct? Is this everything we need to persist for Vanity Naming? Do I have too much in there? I realize others might want to persist more information, so I plan to implement the SMF interface in a way that we can easily grow the table. 2 - I didn't write about a refresh method. I wasn't too sure what to do here. I could have it restart devfsadmd, but I don't think that would be wise. The reason is that the system would lose temporary mappings stored in devfsadmd which the kernel might also have stored in its data structures. We could do this, but then we would need a way for devfsadmd to inform the kernel that it restarted, and then it needs to purge certain mappings. Thoughts? thanks, Dan
