[illumos-gate] 15192 Convert smb(5) to mandoc -- Jason King <jason.brian.king⊙gc>

pmooney: Exchanged a few e-mails with the folks over at Linbit linbit.com/drbd in regards to getting a client written in rust to be used by propolis

yeah?

to my surprise they actually weren't immediately turned off, and actually excited

neat

Thanks for making that so pluggable

the block device backend stuff is designed to be modular

np

We use it for some stuff now, and to be able to just move the blk devices over in the future will be sweeet

use propolis, or drdb?

drbd, I imagine propolis will get ported over into smartos at somepoint as a brand

yeah, I'm not sure how that will look

or we grab some oxide racks to try too

I've contemplated a propolis-standalone which accepts args like c-bhyve

but it won't ever be a drop-in, since they emulate a somewhat different system

I think the devs from linbit appreciated the abstraction

I thought it was a hail marry lol

Do other VMMs do things like that?

things like what? pluggable io backends?

Yeas

the vmm userspace bits are generally structured like that

including qemu and c-bhyve

haven't seen those messages yet: paste.ec/paste/QwJwseTL#eHqt-Om4q3eoZaabuN8frC3aZ85akpDH4aLFdwAD49A

our survivability in low memory conditions is not that good.
