newbie questions on sizes...

1999-08-02 Thread Lou Langholtz
Hoping someone could easily answer some newbie questions for me: 1. The docs seem to encourage using caches of only 600MB or less. Is that just because it takes a while to prep a new cache or is there some technical problem using a cache a full 2GB large? 2. Does coda have support f

coda uses its own threads implementation???

1999-08-02 Thread Lou Langholtz
Sorry about this question, I imagine I've just missed some obvious pre-processor or makefile directive for this It seems like Coda uses its own threads implemention as seen in lib-src/mlwp/*. These files seem to be referenced as OLDLWP and there's nothing more than a macro define that I can f

Do we need the following for building a CODA kernel? pseudo-device vcoda 4 #coda minicache <-> venus comm. "options CODA" is OK in compiling the kernel. Do I need both of them if I am just running a CODA server? --- Lou On Wed, 5 Mar 2003, Jan Harkes wrote:

out of the box on FreeBSD 5. Part of this is > due to gcc 3.2 being more picky about C++ code than 2.95.x. Also, are the files under /usr/src/sys/coda being used for compiling the coda kernel module? They seem very old to me. The coda.h says it is release 3.1. So, I am wondering what the correct procedure of setting up a coda client is. --- Lou

stat.h in FBSD 5, the struct of stat has changed and it no longer has st_qspare in it. What can I do to get around with this? Thanks, --- Lou
