Catching up on source-changes, Apr to Sep 2009 (Updated)
I've been slacking with catching up on source-changes again,
and today I've found to get at it. Here's a bunch of
noteworthy changes that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhereso far:
- hppa: work for PA2.0 CPUs is under way on the nick-hppapmap branch
- Work for SMP-enabled NFS is in progress on the yamt-nfs-mp branch
- A read-only implementation of NiLFS, the New implementation of Logging
File System was imported. See http://www.nilfs.org/ for more information,
note that this is a new implementation, not a port of the Linux code.
- boothowto(9) now documents boot flags that are passed in from the
bootloader on various platforms. See also the kern.boothowto
sysctl.
- The /etc/rc framework was changed to be silent when requested via
the bootloader. Uses the kern.boothowto sysctl to determine what's
needed. Can also be set as "rc_silent=yes" in /etc/rc.conf, the
boot output can be found in /var/run/rc.log then.
- Sun's ZFS was imported and adjusted for NetBSD. Is there any
documentation for this???

src/gnu/dist was moved to src/external.

fashion, including stacks of file systems and storage drivers like
cgd(4), vnd(4)
