Hi, friends. I love DragonFly, I do. Well done. Question about
checkpointing.
There's a bit of a catch-22 when using sys_checkpoint(). The file
descriptor which is passed into sys_checkpoint is serialized along
with everything else. So, when I go to resume, I have to be sure
the file resides at the same path where it was created.
This poses a problem for compressing the file, which I had been
hoping to do. Any one know of a way to keep the fd from being
serialized? The only way I can think of to get around this is to
alter elf_getfiles in the kernel to ignore files which can't be
reloaded.
