I recall my very first finding in Glusterfs: Linux lets you use a mutex without calling pthread_mutex_init() first. That broke on NetBSD, as expected. Fixing this kind of issues is interesting beyond NetBSD support, since you cannot take for granted that an unspecified behavior will not be altered in the future. That said, I am fine if you let NetBSD run without fixing the underlying issue, but you have been warned :-) -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
