Work is currently underway in porting Sun's DTrace to FreeBSD. This work is well advanced in the P4 repository and snapshots are available from cvsup10.freebsd.org. Refer to the -current archives for more details. I don't know how LTT and DTrace compare or how portable LTT is. It seems very unlikely that any kernel tracing tool would make it into ports since tracing a running kernel requires the trace code to be very carefully integrated into the kernel. This virtually mandates that much of the tracing framework be part of the src/sys tree. --=20 Peter Jeremy --E13BgyNx05feLLmH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEpOM7/opHv/APuIcRAnlIAJ4poSGY5ZU9FydzEFKEDwvUnOUm8ACgpG7b 4xv6tET1yEWcgMucENrX8TM= =zEE+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --E13BgyNx05feLLmH--
