Subject: [uml-devel] /dev/anon without /dev/anon ?
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 10:02:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1076598155.20064.12.camel@wopr.tektonic.net> (raw)
Hi,
I had tried out the /dev/anon patch on a host server, success wasn't too
good. It crashed after a few hours of running. This was without
ubd=mmap passed to the UML's. Unfortunately I do not have any sort of
OOPs.
Now the interesting part, I rebooted with the previous kernel so it does
not have the /dev/anon kernel patch. The /dev/anon device still exists
and the UML's are using it!
My primary question now is, is this a "bad thing" to do? Would there be
any significant performance problems to just let it run this way?
Shouldn't the UML kernel check to make sure that /dev/anon kernel
support is indeed there?
Thanks,
Matt
