Hi,
I got a machine running 6.2 right now, which is being replaced. And
since SMP performance is much better on 7.x I'd like to go with 7.0
(and many ppl have indeed verified that it works good on this box,
HP DL360 G5)...
But, now when I start to setup the machine, I recalled that i've
patched the 6.2 box with the freebsd mijail patch (http://www.digitaldaemon.com/FreeBSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_6.2-STABLE-mijail.patch
).
However, I cannot find anywhere about FreeBSD 7 and a similar
patch. A quick look at the patch vs the 7.x source tells me it
won't apply cleanly, but from what I've seen quickly, it could
maybe be done. The differences I've seen doesn't look too advanced,
but then again, I'm not a kernel developer...
So, I'd like to know if anyone considered this on 7.x, or if anyone
can tell me immediately that this wont work or will be LOTS of
work, or just some patch line adjusting? Ie, how big are the
changes from 6.x to 7.x in these sections?
I had planned to have a patch for multiv4/v6 jails last month but
it's not
yet publicly available. I have sent it off to some people for review.
In case the above is a successor of pjd's multi-ip v4 jail patch I can
give you a plain forward port to a FreeBSD 7 system (which might have
possible locking issues I have never experienced).
All depends on how quickly you need it.
Hello, thanks for your answer.
Yep, the patch i've been using on 6 looks very much like pjd's (http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/mijail5.patch
). Are you using this Fbsd7-port, or do you have any idea if anyone
does/how much it have been tested?
I have no need for IPv6 right now, so if nothing else, I'd be glad to
test the 7-port of pjd's to see if it works. That sounds kindof what I
thought to do so.. :)
Thank you!
