Tel Aviv, Israel (August 4, 2002 1am)

The openMosix Project has announced the port of openMosix to
version 2.4.19 has been released.

Other changes include:

  • Adding Robert Love’s memory-overcommit protection patch, making
    openMosix much more stable because now a single node can no longer
    over-commit memory. Significantly improved balancer to yield much
    higher throughput.
  • Reduced kernel latencies further.
  • Fixed several bugs in oMFS and load balancer.
  • DFSA is now turned on when oMFS is selected.
  • RPMs made more universal.
  • Auto-discovery added, /etc/openmosix.map no longer needed
    (user-space tools v.0.2.4). New implementation of tune (user-space
    tools v.0.2.4).

RPMs and Source can be downloaded from the SF files section.
