Why does this matter? If the system uses NFS, then all bets are off. If the system contains a FreeBSD file system, thenit works. What other choice could there ever be?
about freebsd as an instance -but many networking
devices do use netbsd that way. For the most part, you
wouldn't want to create a file on such a system.
Read-only versus other options have absolutely no bearing on this problem. Unnamed posix semaphores work just fine in this case. I have built lots of FreeBSD systems on flash with no problems. This "fantasy" of a problem has no bearing on the issue I want to discuss.
I would argue that I am probably the only person in the entire universe who cares about named posix semaphores. Everyone else seems to just want to deal with unnamed seamphores and let it go at that. Therefore, I declare that named semaphores are my personal problem and when I achieve the solution I want, I will make it available and then you can decide if it matters to anyone else in the world.
Well if you come up with a good solution it is definitly a candidate for inclusion.
It'll be evaluated then..
