To: current@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 15:50:16 +0200 (MET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 911 Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, i wonder if some form of pageable memory is available (or will be, or can be done with relatively little effort) to pieces of the lower half of the kernel. The reason is, the PGM implementation i am working on might need to work with really huge windows (megabytes) and on the sender side it is not unlikely to have to store a whole file whatever its size is. I suppose sendfile() might have to deal with a similar problem ? cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
