[Openmosix-devel] alpha version of user area tools for 2.6

[David S. O. <ir...@or...>]

  Hello!


   Here is an alpha version of user area tools for 2.6.

http://www.orcero.org/irbis/openmosix/userland.html

  THIS VERSION IS INTEED TO 2.6 DEVELOPERS. IF YOU USE 2.4 KERNELS, PLEASE 
STAY WITH THE OFFICIAL that can be downloaded from oM official site.

  This version is intended to take feedback of the oM developers.

  I am working on this version, and I will continue working on it, so do 
not worry if there is some things does not work.

  The philosophy has been to take an old, stable version of userland tools 
and to modify the moslib library to allow a transparent migration to 2.4 
clusters to 2.6 clusters in the future, and to allow to the cluster 
sysadms to use their administration scripts on new 2.6 clusters.

  The most of the documentation, the scripts and the know-how will stay 
similar.

  I do know that 2.4 clusters will stay a long time; that is why I think 
that compatibility is important. This will allow developers, system 
administrators and documentators not to maintain two differents code 
lines.

  If your patch/feature is not included in these tools, do not worry (yet), 
because this means nothing. As far as the basic functionality works, the 
patchs will be added.

  The development will continue slow (I am making this on my little free 
time); but at a constant rithm. It is expected to have all working (with 
node registering, cluster management and migration) for summer.


  Yours:

David Santo Orcero
