Coda _has_ worked fine on BSD for a long time. There was a change in NetBSD vfs locking rules for lookup recently (in 1.6 but not 1.5), and that introduced a problem in the coda code. With my fix, I think the NetBSD kernel code is OK - this is the only problem I've had that is kernel-related. I have not looked at the Darwin code; Coda worked fine (the kernel part) on FreeBSD 3.x, so it is probably either ok or reasonably easy to port. Someone will have to update the kernel code for the interface changes from the realms code. The changes aren't hard, though, unless one wants to have a kernel that supports both the old and the new way at the same time. I'm leaning towards options CODA_NOREALMS to get the old behavior.Received on 2003-03-28 17:07:16
