How many times have you implemented persistence?
Zero. Does that prove anything? Well, my blatant statement probably deserved such a reply. :-) I don't want to go into details here. It's just various issues you mentioned yourself, together with my own considerations: It turns out that implementing persistence in the "real world", with persistance barriers to the non-persistent core and to the outer world, you have to deal with many issues you hoped to avoid and that wouldn't exist in a perfect all-persistent world. I'm not claiming persistence is bad. It may be very well that the total amount of problems to solve in a persistent system turns out to be smaller than in the opposite case. Yet it seems to, must be roughly of a similar order. Just wanted to point out that persistence is not a magic silver bullet solving many hard problems for free. -antrik- _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
