Colinux c’est fort, en effet il s’agit du tout premier projet gratuit et open-source permettant de faire tourner Linux sur un système Microsoft Windows. Concrètement il s’agit d’un portage du noyau linux, permettant de se dispenser de logiciel tel que VMware.
Filesystem:
– New: cofs rename allows to overwrite files with ReadOnly attrib.
– New: cofs supports flat file modes « rwx » for owner. Mount option
« noattrib » disables these attribute mapping for older compatibility.

– Bug #2013435: cobd supports read-only files now.
– Bug #2152550: cofs atime and mtime was swapped on time set.
– Bug #2176188: File sync wrong on cofs, command after mv/rename fails.

– Bug #1396539: Fixing the « eth0: duplicate address detected! ».
New filter rule for ndis-bridge and pcap-bridge is:
« (ether dst MAC) or (multicast and not ether src MAC) »
– Bug #2055697: Crashing SLiRP under heavy usage ktorrent. (Shai Vaingast)
– Bug #2357494,#2365031: ndis-bridge was not working with PPPoE, AoE

– Add PG_co_host_mapped, save many OS switching times: speed up coLinux.
– New: /proc/colinux/stats show counts of OS switches.
– unionfs-2.2.4 added as module. (Marwan Al-Sabbagh)
