I remeber being a newbie and getting burned by the need to explicitly turn a line 'off' in my /etc/ttys file instead of simply deleting it. This fixes it using a trivial mark then collect sweep. Can a couple people take a look? I'd like to get it into 4.0 because it seems to follow POLA better.

f VFS functionality, that although somewhat trivial, it would break third party filesystem KLDs and the work would touch every single filesystem. You can avoid it by hacking at the netexport stuff, but it gets kinda ugly afaik. It is a shame that no one who's begged for locks has come forward, I have no good test env for stressing the code, and I'd be nice to get some preliminary feedback on its stability. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
