Fellow Beowulfers,
I have yet to hear a compelling argument about why any of them should
go into the standard kernel -- let alone a particular one or
a duck of a
compromise.
The Scyld system is based on BProc -- which requires only a
1K patch to
the kernel. This patch adds 339 net lines to the kernel, and
changes 38
existing lines.
The Scyld 2-kernel-monte kernel inplace reboot facility is a 600-line
module which doesn't require any patches whatsoever.
Compare this total volume to the thousands of lines of patches that
RedHat or VA add to their kernel RPMS before shipping. I just
don't see
the value in fighting about what clustering should 'mean' or picking
winners when it's just not a real problem.
Scyld is shipping a for-real commercial product based on BProc and
2-kernel-Monte and our better-than-stock implementation of LFS and and
we're not losing any sleep over this issue.
I think we should instead focus our collective will on removing things
from the kernel. For years, projects like ALSA, pcmcia-cs, and VMware
have done an outstanding job sans 'inclusion' and we should more
frequently have the courage to do the same. RedHat and other
linux vendors
have demonstrated ably that they know how to build and package systems
that draw together these components in an essentially reasonable way.
Regards,
Dan Ridge
