Hi; The PictureCD mounted with the same command suggested by the mount_cd9660 page for PhotoCDs. I think the difference is that while Picture CDs use jpeg, the PhotoCDs use a Kodak proprietary format. I just learned that the netpbm distributed via Ibiblio has a PhotoCD converter available (it was

process checkpoint restore facility now in DragonFly BSD

2005-01-12 Thread Siddharth Aggarwal

I've promised Nate to port the functionality to FreeBSD. I'm busy doing some things with the FreeBSD port to Xen at the moment. Checkpointing a process is intrinsically messy for reasons beyond the obvious statefulness of TCP connections. Process state, particularly with regard to devices, is of

Thanks for your reply. I understand the complexity of checkpointing a process and I do agree that capturing the complete state of a system is really difficult. So my question is that if a subset of that functinality was to be implemented (e.g. not guaranteeing certain things to processes when the
