Re: HAMMER update 23-Mar-08
It's not really in the HAMMER design any more, primarily because HAMMER's volume model seems to work fine as-is. Ultimately something like ANVIL (a block storage manager) would prove beneficial to the project but it would be treated as a separate project. HAMMER's redundancy model is going to be baesd around replication and clustering. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com>

HAMMER update 23-Mar-08
Here's an update on the HAMMER work! Current status: * Passes all standard filesystem stress tests and buildworld will run with a HAMMER /usr/obj. Large histories are able to accumulate without effecting performance. * Pruning and reblocking code is in and partially tested, but now needs more stringent testing. * Full historical access appears to be working but needs testing. Note that a sync is still needed to flush dirty cached data prior ...

Re: HAMMER update 23-Mar-08
Hi Matt, That's good to know things are going so well. Got a question. If memory serves me right, initially there was also going to be a thing called ANVIL, I can't remember what it was supposed to do and whether its still in your design. Could you elaborate a little? Thanks, Petr

Re: Jail uname spoofing / misc
If you don't need a jail to spoof uname, as others posted, you can installworld into a chroot and build everything you want there using Joerg's spiffy pbulk. That's what I'm doing on pkgbox now; I can hand you my somewhat terse notes if you want. It would be relatively easy to set up the configuration you're talking about.

Re: Jail uname spoofing / misc
cheers - I guess I thought incorrectly that something 'special' was needed to get the uname to change .. have been using the legacy bulks in chroots / jails (for 'same os' builds) as I haven't quite migrated to pbulk yet .. thanks for the help offer - I'll ask if I run into trouble.
