Re: [Pharo-project] [squeak-dev] Mac OS X VM (Squeak 3.8.20beta1U) issue
Ok, what I'm going to do here is push out a 3.8.21 later today. I will revert to the old behaviour, however this will have a info.plist flag that allows you choose the new mmap performance since it does gain a few hundred milliseconds of time on a launch. The new behaviour has I believe these two bugs which are show stoppers for general release. (a) Save image when image is on a NFS drive, does not work. VM locks up, image file is truncated. (b) Sporadic reports of image write failing when on local hard drive. I will retain the new behaviour for the iPhone VM since the saving is on the order of seconds.

Ok, well it seems there is a problem with mmap and mapping files on NFS drives under older versions of linux. So is the server involved linux?
Obviously I can see a 3.8.21 series VM being generated tomorrow..

I've posted a 3.8.21b1 to my experimental directory for testing. I can't quite yet post it for regular usage because I need to cross check any changes against the squeakvm.org SVN tree, however that site is dead at the moment, awaiting it's recovery... Still people can download and confirm the NFS lockup problem has gone away, and there are no sporadic write failures. On 15-Jan-09, at 11:55 AM, John M McIntosh wrote:
