I know, that's why I suggested it. The joke is that those three are all unplayable on AMD's drivers.

Suspicious Dish posted:Nope. It's a journaling system (that's why it's called the journal), so it's entirely possible to recover from corrupted binary logs. And it is checksummed. And cryptographically verified. it isn't, though? looking at the spec which I'm not going to link or quote because I'm phone posting, only one of the record types has a hash, records are variable length and they don't have magic numbers, which means if you lose a chunk in the middle of the journal, the journal parser can't resynchronize and interpret the records after the damage

Notorious b.s.d. posted:the solaris equivalent of cgroups, "process contracts," takes care of this so you're saying that instead of using the existing PID 1 orphaned process reaping functionality of the Linux kernel, systemd should have implemented an entirely new orphaned process reaping system in the Linux kernel

imagine your system service activation and monitoring system was arbitrarily complicated while simultaneously not capable of guaranteeing the service actually activated or monitoring that the service hasn't died on you unexpectedly

to be fair, valgrind requires annotations on all system calls and ioctls to determine which parameters are in, out or in/out.
