On this whole thread of "DANGER IN SCSI-LAND" about reconnecting downed devices.
WHY CAN'T LINUX SUPPORT HOT-PLUGGABLE SYSTEMS EASILY?
That sound right? Prolly not... But, nonetheless hot-pluggable (able to add/remove devices while powered up) type systems exist and are in use.
Can linux support these things? It's prolly worth it in server-land..
These are systems _DESIGNED_ to have components added and removed on-the-fly.
I've REALLY had enough of all the warnings against it.. I just have ONE warning: Just because hot-pluggable SCSI exists doesn't mean you have it. Make sure before you play... If you don't have hotpluggable, blowups happen.
Will that do?
------------- end of SCSI-comments.
Any suggestions on how to virtualize >256 virtual terminals? (graphics-testing code needs + ppp + ... fills up fast!) ... [suggestions on how to code?] Or none, as the case may be. I CAN live with this (but second computer going online to handle overload on development machine)....
[and can anyone tell me if there's a way that I can run both SAMBA and smbfs at the same time? Now that 2.1.43 finally SUPPORTS _WORKING_ smbfs, I've discovered that it don't play nice with samba [latest beta - don't ask me which version].
... now bored enough to trace pppd and find out WHY it don't work in 2.1.43.... [sigh]. Gotta be a reason (prolly 'cause I'm running glibc-2.0.4). Is anyone else using this?
Ciao! - Teunis
