Steve and Eric, Thanks for the quick responses. The reason I ask is,
we are developing a "drive mini plant" here in mfg to build
customer disks for the McKinley (Linux IA64) systems. We want to
try and use as much of the same code/processes that we use in our current
drive mini plants for building IRIX drives. One of the main tools used
to transfer images to the IRIX disks is xfs_copy. It's great
because it FAST! and we can copy multiple targets at the same
time. Did I mention that it is FAST! ;)
We have a disk build process in place for the McKinley disks, but it
uses a dump/restore mechanism. It only allows us to build one disk
at a time and it's is very, very slow.
Steve, I understand the irix threading primitives limitation.
Does that pretty much rule out *any* chance of xfs_copy running
on a Linux platform??
Thanks again!,
Jim
