gnumach, task based TSS

2006-01-08 Thread Alfred M\. Szmidt
This I assume is related to the `gnumach, task based IO ports'. Explanation behind the changes, why etc are needed. I haven't looked at the patch yet. 2006-01-02 Samuel Thibault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * iopl.c (iopl_emulate): TSS is now task-based. Fix TSS and locking accordingly

Re: fs translators and fsck [Was: init scripts don't fsck extra partitions]

2005-12-30 Thread Alfred M\. Szmidt
The action of mounting a fs is intricated with the action of checking it beforehand, that's what I'd like to express in some way. Fstab does that on usual unices. The hurdish way of mounting is rather setting a translator, so I'd rather see checking being done at translator setting
