I ran headlong into the use case for O_CLOFORK and got into a locking
debate over it.
The actual use case involves squashing a thread race between two
threads. If a file is opened for write in one thread with O_CLOEXEC
while another thread calls fork(), a race condition can happen where

Has anybody tried the USB floppy disk driver in awhile? I just did to
read an old disk, and I couldn't read a single byte.
I started thinking maybe the hardware's bad, but dd didn't raise en

screen from kernel log.

No response. I suppose I must be doing something wrong ...

From: Joshua Hudson
The Minix v3 filesystem and kernel driver have no actual dependency on files
being less than 2GB in size; however the kernel does not allow creating a
file of 2GB or larger on a Minix v3 filesystem. I was able to remove the pseudo-
dependency easily by changing one line of
Is there an executable file format that can specify things like where
the stack ends up?
Yes, I really do care. I want to put the stack at the top of virtual
address space rather than randomized.

All right, I'll see what I can come up with. This is quite a tall order.
1. A mechanism for creating virtual network interfaces
2. A mechanism for restricting binding to certain network interfaces
3. A mechanism for binding certain network interfaces.
4. The jail code itself

I had been wanting this functionality myself, but for some reason it never found
its way into the stock kernel. I looked around, started coding,
looked some more,
coded some more, looked some more until I found this:

I suppose the reason it wasn't applied is lack

Thinks for trying. I finally found the problem myself.
There is some incompatability between syslinux 2.10 and kernel 2.6.10
Using lilo on the first floppy fixed the problem

I am trying to install linux on a laptop that cannot boot from cdrom.
I got a stripped-down kernel to boot from floppy, ran lspci to get
the hardware information.
I then reconfigured and rebuilt the kernel for the image.
I built this kernel from stock 2.6.10 from www.kernel.org.
