a root file system for network booting, etc. Right now, we mount UFS from an

<h2>Libprocstat and libnetstat</h2>

<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a

href="mailto:rwatson@FreeBSD.org">&a.rwatson;</a></p>
|
||||
<p>Create, similar to libmemstat, wrapper libraries to support monitoring and
|
||||
management applications to avoid direct use of kvm. Three parts to the
|
||||
project: for each of the above, add kernel support to export data in a less
|
||||
ABI-sensitive way using sysctl, write a library to present the information
|
||||
in an extensible way to applications, and update applications to use the
|
||||
library instead of reaching directly into kernel memory / consuming sysctls.
|
||||
The goal is to allow the kernel implementation to change without breaking
|
||||
applications and requiring them to be recompiled, and to allow monitoring
|
||||
functions to be extended without breaking applications. This should also
|
||||
facilitate writing new classes of monitoring and profiling tools.</p>

|
||||
<p>Instead of installing using install, mkdir, mtree, etc, directly construct
|
||||
a tarball. This would allow creating install distributions without root
|
||||
access, as setuid etc would never hit the local disk. This would require
|
||||
some retrofitting of our installation mechanisms.</p>
