This should fix a bunch of weird issues with 3rd party NIC drivers. Most NICs use deserialized drivers and indicate packets using the NdisMIndicatePacket function. I'm fairly sure every modern NIC driver will display a similar problem to http://www.reactos.org/paste/index.php/9607/ and http://www.reactos.org/paste/index.php/9608/ where the driver eventually depletes its packet pool then quits sending and receiving packets. It also causes a leak of non-paged pool since we leak the buffers attached to the packet descriptor. The VirtIO NetKVM driver seems to have a particularly small packet queue (256 RX) and dies very early. I'd be interested to see what kind of uptime you guys can get with a 3rd party NIC driver now. I'm going to do some testing here in VirtualBox with a PRO/1000 to see how much data I can send/receive without problems. Regards, Cameron

HDD Geometry switch

Is the new geometry backward-compatible? If i recreate the partitions, will they be visible when i regress test revisions before 54511? -- With best regards Caemyr

Hi, due to connectivity issues with our servers in Sweden, I've taken our rbuild debug buildslave & our KVM testbot offline. This doesn't affect ISOs storage for the moment. Regards, Pierre

I see this and I LMFAO! co_IntSendMessageNoWait(Window->head.h, WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING, 0, (LPARAM) WinPos); co_IntSendMessageNoWait(WinPos.hwnd, WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED, 0, (LPARAM) &WinPos); There is more too! Amazing! Please tell me this is not wrong!!!! James

Re: [ros-dev] New harddisk geometry
by Love Nystrom 25 Nov '11

Hi People, I'm back after my ordeal in Europe and finally got an inet line.. But now I've over 300 mails from the list to wade through.. Ugh. It's gonna take some time to get up to speed. Hi Eric, That's all fine, it's just an educated choice of disk parameters as I see it. But anyway, all disk handling software (drivers etc) should honor whatever disk parameters you write in the boot record when you format the partition, and whatever geometry you write in the MBR when the disk gets partitioned, whether it's this or that. Just in case someone forgot ;) Best Regards Love > From: Eric Kohl <eric.kohl(a)t-online.de> > To: ReactOS Development List <ros-dev(a)reactos.org> > Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:17:40 +0100 > Subject: [ros-dev] Announcement: New harddisk geometry next weekend > Hi! > > I plan to change the standard harddisk geometry from the old 32 sectors and 64 heads geometry to the > new 63 sectors and 255 heads geometry next weekend.

The old code was "&LunExtension->MiniportLunExtension", which seems to make more sense.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [jgardou] 54462: [RTL] - explicitly truncate some values, so it doesn't count as an error for compiler/MSVC runtime checker
by Timo Kreuzer 24 Nov '11

That doesn't make much sense. Whats the point of the LOWORD() macro, if not truncating it ? Fix the macro if its broken.

Announcement: New harddisk geometry next weekend
by Eric Kohl 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hi! I plan to change the standard harddisk geometry from the old 32 sectors and 64 heads geometry to the new 63 sectors and 255 heads geometry next weekend. The old disk geometry was used up to Windows NT4 and the new geometry is used since Windows 2000. So I guess it is time for ReactOS to make this change too. ;-) This should improve the compatiibility with other OSs because every modern OS uses the new disk geometry. Please note that you must delete and re-create all partitions on your virtual harddisk in order to get a clean partition table when the new disk geomerty is in use. Regards, Eric
