I am wondering if there is a way to prevent a pkg from being updated.
For example, i want to build a port with custom options that the pkgng
repos will not support, and therefore
when I run pkg update && pkg upgrade I do not want it to upgrade my
custom package. I cant find any way to do this

It seems that linker_preload checks a module for being a duplicate module only
if the module has MDT_VERSION.
This is probably designed to allow different version of the same module to
co-exist (for some definition of co-exist)?
But, OTOH, this doesn't work well if the module is version-less

it is easy to see that VM settings are not fine for MODERN hardware.
We have gigabytes, not megabytes of RAM, hard disks can be efficient only
if average I/O size is in order of megabyte or so, not tens of kB.
In spite of having gigabytes of RAM, sometimes we DO NEED swapping.

hi
I have two questions:
1) is kmem_alloc_wait() expensive operation? I believe it's not
very cheap looking at the code but I want confirmation
2) is there a support for memory pools in FreeBSD?
to give you a little background why I am asking this. In NetBSD Andrew Doran

Hi,
Sorry for jumping in here, but I've seen several people
talking about that "5 seconds to reboot" thing ...
Are you aware that a standard FreeBSD kernel also takes
just 5 seconds to reboot within qemu? And that's even
when _not_ using the kqemu accelerator module.
I've used qemu a lot for deb

We use vkernel's for development and debugging. Pretty much everything
except hardware device driver development can be done using a vkernel...
Does that include trying to get rid

One interesting side-effect of having a vkernel so easily accessible
is that it opens up kernel development to normal programmers. More
