I'm just tuning up my driver now to catch up to the "recent" interface changes. While there, I went to add a ref count for my driver managed M_EXT clusters. However, m_extadd() does not take a parameter for assignment into mp->m_ext.ref_cnt Eg, I cannot call m_extadd() if I want to use my own refcounter. Is there any chance this could be fixed? O/w, I'll have to avoid calling m_extadd().. Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
