DragonFlyBSD on SATA: Not so success

| *nix and Win32 Kernel

So I finally tried DragonFly on one of our test servers (not my desktop :-). It seems that DragonFly still have some issues with the SATA devices. I am trying to fix it, maybe by porting some good FreeBSD ATAng code.

DragonFly has gave us some good examples that how a user-friendly operating system should, and some different way on designing a MP-capable architecture. Thanks, Matt!

InfoTrend-based TOYOU RAID Controller: stop respond when two hosts issue command at the same time

It seems that if one host is fsck’ing and the other is trying to boot, then the controller will halt. I’m so tired and sick about this!

New DragonFly/Net/Open/FreeBSD CVSup mirror

| *nix and Win32 Kernel

I have set up a mirror for the major BSD software, especially DragonFly/Free/Open/NetBSD and KAME at my personal server, tarsier.delphij.net for about two weeks. Today I have annouced that on kernel@dfly and Liam Foy has added it to the official download list.

Some cvsweb and other related site is ongoing. I’m very pleased that I can support BSD related software, no matter joining their development, or providing mirrors for wider spread.

NetBSD gots impressive result in their system call result

| *nix and Win32 Kernel

A post on tech-kern has suggested that NetBSD has better performance on several aspects. I think FreeBSD should take some of their ideas. What’s more, I believe it’s more important to have something that is unique in FreeBSD, not doing what’s the equivalent because “Solaris have this” :-)

It’s now consered as a legacy branch like RELENG_2_2 and RELENG_3. Future commits to RELENG_4 no longer needs re@’s approval, but only those committed to RELENG_4_11 (with re@’s approval, of course) will go to 4.11-RELEASE. 4.11-RELEASE will be the final 4-STABLE release and it will be a errata release.

NetBSD 2.0 RELEASE released

| *nix and Win32 Kernel

Finally NetBSD has released their 2.0-RELEASE, which is a significant progress of the NetBSD development.

NetBSD is widely known as the most portable operating system in the world. It currently supports fifty four different system architectures, all from a single source tree, and is always being ported to more. NetBSD 2.0 continues the long tradition with major improvements in file system and memory management performance, major security enhancements, and support for many new platforms and peripherals.
