The "md" driver I committed today is mostly a proof-of-concept thing which came out of a chat with Peter Wemm. It acts like a disk in all aspects, although it will be hard to boot from it :-) It will do very simple compression, in that a sector (512bytes) which is filled with the same

request for review, patch to specfs to fix EOF condition alignment with buffer

1999-09-21 Thread Internet MailSystem
This is a request for a review. This patch fixes a bug in specfs relating to dealing with the EOF condition of a block device. If the EOF occurs in the middle of a block, specfs was not properly calculating the truncation for the I/O. This problem was first found by Tor.

One question comes to mind: is there a way that the TSCs could become desynchronized somehow? Even though all CPUs run at the same frequency, isn't there a strong possibility for slight frequency deviation since we use crystal oscillation instead of a more accurate atomic breakdown for
