Will this break things? XFS needs atomic 64 bit operations. To emulate them on 32 bit systems we need the cmpxchg8b instruction. Old CPUs don't offer this instruction. So we would have to emulate cmpxchg8b too. For now UML does not have a cmpxchg8b emulation because this would be quite hacky to realize it in pure user mode. -- Thanks, //richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
