Time	Event
6:09p	FreeBSD SoC I've signed up to mentor a FreeBSD SoC project again this year. I'm most interested in sponsoring the following projects: 1) Improved schedgraph support. 2) User-space lock profiling tool 3) Improved VM tree structures 4) SMP safing Giant protected filesystems. Maybe others. I know schedgraph and the user-space lock profiling may not sound as glamorous but they have the potential to have the biggest long-term impact on performance. Please email jeff at freebsd.org if you'd like to discuss these further. The official list of project ideas is here: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/summerofcode.html (2 Comments | Comment on this)
9:41p	MyISAM performance is terrible in FreeBSD 7.0 due to the user-space pthread_rwlock implementation. Just a word of warning if you intend to deploy a database server based on 7.0. I am certain we will have this fixed in 7.1. It will most likely be in CURRENT in a week or two. (9 Comments | Comment on this)
