Convenience for the hackers who really hack is one of the most persuasive arguments on any subject in the project. GRUB is great for multiboot support and nothing else is so great. Other things are better in other ways and not so great for multiboot support. Can't you pass the module

serverboot is still handy if you're not using GRUB, but e.g. mkmbimage with netboot or mklinuximage or suchlike (to have only one thing to paste in there). Your arument about not removing serverboot is to have only one thing to paste? Please, you can do better. If that was the case we co

2002-12-17 Thread Alfred M. Szmidt
Is anyone using serverboot anymore? If not, then it could maybe be removed. Also, is there a reason to keep bsdfsck, defpager and libtreefs around? About libtreefs I'm a bit unsure, since it might be useful. But I doubt this since it hasn't been touched since 1996 (there is not even a ChangeLog)

Unionfs, looking up links and translators

2002-12-17 Thread Moritz Schulte
Hi, I was thinking about what unionfs should do with symbolic links and translators on the underlying filesystems; i think if unionfs's _S_dir_lookup would return retry names in that case, that would be reasonable. It would create some problems if unionfs would simply use file_name_lookup (wi
