Hi! Wouldn't it be possible to add the mosix functionalities (www.mosix.org) in the kernel on the RedHat distributions? Mosix allows clustering and transparent process distribution over a cluster of machines on a network. It would be nice to have during the RedHat installation process the choice between for instance: Normal Kernel or Kernel + Mosix SMP Kernel or SMP Kernel + Mosix Best regards Daniel Tourde
We are seriously looking at Mosix, and it's a very good candidate for inclusion in _a_ future version. The timing on when that will be is unknown, it also depends on how the debate between the Mosix people and Linus is going.
OK. Thanks for your answer. That would be a great feature indeed. I don't know the nature of the debate between Linus Torvalds and the Mosix people but i do think Mosix is a good thing. _a_future version? 7.2? 8.0? 17.5?... :) Daniel
I know this bug is over a year old, but I wonder if the idea of integrating openMosix is still being considered. I installed the 2.4.19-based openMosix kernels on a few machines here and everything went fine, but that means I've backed out tons of useful Red Hat kernel mods like rmap and the updated IDE drivers.
probably won't happen unless it goes into the upstream kernel.
