Sequent Dynix did have conditional symbolic links (as I indicated in my original
message). However, I did not encounter Dynix until around 1989 or 90, but was
familiar with conditional symbolic links from two Pyramid 90x's I installed in
the summer of 94. I cannot comment on the namei hack menti

I upgraded from 3.4-STABLE to 4.0-STABLE, and -- for the most part --
the upgrade (done via source) went well.
I've managed to get most things working, with the exception of lpt0.
Previously, everything was detected fine:

Hello All,
i've been looking at ``mount_xxx'' code and have noticed "strange" thing.
all ``mount_xxx'' utilities have common part of code, like

if (vfsload("xxx"))

In general: No.
If your c-files compile without *any* "#include ",
then it could be possible.

Hi Guys,
My system hangs. I know how to take core dumps and start debugging if it
is panicing. But the system hangs, then I cant do anything. The only thing
I can do is reset or power off and on.
What I would like to know is how to handle hangs. I guess that panic and
hangs are different.

Hi Dennis,
I can see that you disagree with some of the design decisions that have been
made. However, your tone makes that people will not listen to what you say,
but hammer into your person instead.
