BTW if Within a generic framework for "Instant Capacity on Demand" a strong case could be made for considering Virtualization as a sublayer in a solution stack. If you concur with this conception, then I could submit an outline for Dynamic Partitioning which would mesh with Virtualization. > you have a strong interest in virtualization I'd also encourage you to > participate in the use case on that subject (I'm not sure how much time > you can invest in OSDL/Hotplug SIG). > [...] > My activities would have to sync with the efforts by the Hotplug SIG in any event. Let me set up an outline for Dynamic Partitioning first and we can then judge how far this protrudes into the Hotplug domain. Cordially yours, Silvester Claassen P.S. I am currently not subscribed to the Hotplug mailing list.
