2007-03-20 | * Scan /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe for roots to prevent the kernel | Eelco Dolstra | |
modules for the running kernel from being garbage-collected. Idem for /proc/sys/kernel/fbsplash. | |||
2006-09-20 | * Hide warnings about a missing "lsof" (NIX-54). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-07-21 | * Don't try to do DNS lookups. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-07-19 | * Added a tool to find additional roots for the garbage collector, | Eelco Dolstra | |
such as open files, current directories, mmaped files, etc. This is inherently unportable, but it's easy to adapt this script to other platforms. Currently we call `lsof' and try to read various bits in /proc/NNN. The goal is to prevent the garbage collector from removing store paths that are no longer reachable from a permanent root but that are still in use (for instance, after the user has done "nix-env -e" on a running program). |
