Compressed vnd(4) handling tested
After being mostly offline for the weekend (/* no comment */),
I had some time to test the patch for vnd to handle
compressed files in cloop2 format, and also test it with
images made by a program written by Florian Stoehr to
compress
and uncompress images to/from cloop2 format. (I have Florian's
code after I sat over it a bit, doing a code walkthrough during a
past BSE meeting :).
Both parts worked really well - see my posting to
tech-kern and the discussion that resulted from it.
According to the patch's author, Cliff Wright, the vnd(4) patch
still has problems, and I hope to get an updated patch from him
soon, then either commit this myself or find someone to move this
into NetBSD (kernel/userland stuff is not really my work area :).
