If you are correct and it can be done at the filesystem level, then maybe you don't even have to write a whole new one. I recall reading about the new ReiserFS 4 being modular, maybe you could just write a plugin. -jmc On Fri, 17 Sep 2004 09:06:18 -0700 "Fargusson.Alan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

To do this, you need to enable PROXY ARP on VM TCP/IP. Check the VM list archive http://listserv.uark.edu/archives/vmesa-l.html for posts from Alan Altmark on PROXY ARP for intelligent explanations. -Original Message- From: Doug Griswold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 17, 2004 1

No, it's the routers between you and the VM system. Unless that last router has a static route in it to pass the packet to the VM system, it will try to do an arp. When it gets no reply, it will drop the packet. This is because the IP address is in the same subnet as the router's NIC, so it will

It occurs to me that since the filesystem is what actually controls the buffer cache that one could write a filesystem for Linux on VM that ignores the buffer cache and does logical IOCS. Or maybe you need a DASD driver that does logical IOCS. The filesystem would probably need to do something

Yes. Look at the example in chapter 7 of the PerfKit documentation on using action routines when a message matches a template, or in the session on setting thresholds. The action routine can do pretty much anything. PerfKit makes a really nice scrolling console manager. Almost as cool as VM:Operat

This has nothing to do with the "everything is a file" philosophy. It has to do with the fact that most *ix systems don't have a layer below them to do buffering. Actually even when you do the overhead of calling down to the driver for every write would kill some systems. Think about a progra

We are finally going to install Linux on top of VM but we have run into a small communication problem. We can't seem to get communications out of the Mainframe. I can ping VM from the Suse installer and I can ping myself. We are using a CTC connection. This should be a fairly easy problem to fi
