I consider the SMF upgrade file a bug. We're working to get rid of it, albeit more slowly than I'd like. Once there's a credible proposal, it'll unsurprisingly be discussed on smf-discuss before being brought before the ARC. And since this thread got here through an ARC-ish discussion, I'll also note that's why the SMF upgrade file isn't a public interface. liane -- Liane Praza, Solaris Kernel Development liane.praza at sun.com - http://blogs.sun.com/lianep
