Not a stupid question at all. > What's been run on rump kernels? Maybe test suites, lang.interpreters, > popular servers? Pretty much everything :-) I'm only partly joking; Rump Kernels re-use unmodified NetBSD code which has been around for many years and is production quality. > > e.g. test suites (fsx), lang.interpreters (luajit), popular servers > (thttpd)? I've successfully used Rump Kernels in a bespoke software project for a client. They wanted to do custom mastering of UDF filesystems on USB flash disks. The requirements were for a bullet-proof GUI application, with a view to future portability to Windows systems and running as unprivileged as possible. Rump Kernels enabled me to re-use the production quality NetBSD UDF filesystem driver as is, and integration with the Qt GUI application was straightforward. The Rump Kernel was simply linked in as a library. Hope this helps, Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year. New Location. New Benefits.
