|
<p>Deficiencies in the current automounter, amd(8), are a
|
|
recurring problem reported by many FreeBSD users. A new
|
|
automounter is being developed to address these concerns.
|
|
|
|
The automounter is a cleanroom implementation of
|
|
functionality available in most other Unix systems, using
|
|
proper kernel support implemented via an autofs filesystem.
|
|
The automounter supports a standard map format, and will
|
|
integrate with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
|
|
(LDAP) service.
|
|
|
|
The code is ready to use - it has been committed to 11-CURRENT
|
|
and 10-STABLE, and will ship as part of 10.1-RELEASE. There
|
|
is ongoing work on improving performance and fixing possible
|
|
bugs.

Building on the new in-kernel iSCSI target and initiator stack
|
|
released in FreeBSD 10.0, Chelsio Communications has begun
|
|
developing an offload interface to take advantage of the
|
|
hardware offload capabilities of Chelsio T4 and T5 10 and 40
|
|
gigabit Ethernet adapters.
|
|
|
|
The code implements hardware PDU offload for both target and
|
|
initiator. The iSCSI stack has been modified to provide
|
|
hardware-independent offload API, allowing offload drivers to
|
|
be loaded as kernel modules, and to provide mechanisms for the
|
|
system administrator to configure this feature. The project
|
|
is entering a testing phase. The code will be released under
|
|
the BSD license and is expected to be completed later in the
|
|
year and ship in FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE.
