Take a look at closefrom(2). portalfs is rather buggy and not mpsafe (at least not marked as such). The latter makes it scheduled for removal - see: http://wiki.freebsd.org/NONMPSAFE_DEORBIT_VFS With that being said, if you really need portalfs, I would go with reimplementation from scratch using fuse (perhaps available already). -- Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik gmail.com> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
