New mergemaster behavior - comparing CVS $Id too

2000-11-06 Thread Peter Pentchev

Hello, I recently moved to using devfs and now if_tap seems unusable. Although the module is loaded, it doesn't show up in /dev or as an interface. From a quick comparison with if_tun it seems that this is 'expected' behaviour although I'm not a specialist with devfs. Is this so? If yes, is

I've been using Solaris a lot lately, and I've noticed that in e.g. top's output, it has a distinct CPU state called "iowait", which seems to be a pretty good indicator of how I/O-bound a system is. Is there any reason that FreeBSD doesn't have such a state? "iostat" also seems a lot less
