Hi Pekka -- It looks like the build/configuration how-to at https://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem/dist/files/RAMster/HOWTO-v5-120214 is out-of-date and I need to fix some things in it. I'll post a link to it after I update it. > Can we move parts of the network protocol under > net/ramster or something? Ramster is built on top of kernel sockets. Both that networking part and the configuration part of the ramster code are heavily leveraged from ocfs2 and I suspect there is a lot of similarity to gfs code as well. In the code for both of those filesystems I think the network and configuration code lives in the same directory with the file system, so that was the model I was following. I'm OK with placing it wherever kernel developers want to put it, as long as the reason is not NIMBY-ness. [1] My preference is to keep all the parts together, at least for the review phase, but if there is a consensus that it belongs someplace else, I will be happy to move it.
