Disable SCSI-Reservation at the driver level ?
Quoted 3 lines
And more. It's in fact one of the most blatant violations of the Linux 2.4 kernel copyrights. Don't expect support if you use such an illegal product.
really?
this is the first time i hear that ESX is an "illegal" product from the point of view of the kernel community.
afaik, the esx kernel (vmnix) is a completely different product and for example, the source of the linux drivers they have modified to run under ESX are made available for download, as GPL tells them to do.
what`s the problem here?
can you provide a link to some thread where this has been discussed? something to be resolved with the help of gpl-violations.org ?

If you don
t know VMware ESX - ESX is sort of its own operating system with Linux as a management console OS on top of a hypervisor (vmkernel),And more. It's in fact one of the most blatant violations of the Linux 2.4 kernel copyrights. Don't expect support if you use such an illegal product.

It's a modified linux kernel with hooks for a big binary module that takes over part of the control. It's rather hard to argue that it's not a derived work. Especially as they reuse various I/O subsystem of the kernel that has been parasited.

I haven't found any evidence that they are using enough code that gpl-violations.org has the right to defend.
