Re: Linux and DMAPI

[Timothy Sesow <tsesow@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the latest tarball at http://dvdvault.sourceforge.net is a
routine called "dmapid" that has a user-space implementation
of a DMAPI service routine, plus a copy of some example source
code from SGI.  Plus there is a "purgefile" program to poke holes
in files in the "migration" directory.  The most recent upload was last 
month.
The tricky parts of session management and event handling are in
the dmapid code.

Its been run against a kernel build from SGI's XFS baseline
(most recently on 2.6.24).  You will either have to go back to
a prior kernel build to get DMAPI included, or run a patch against
a current version of the LINUX kernel.
