Thank you very much for this change! Finally I can get rid of my local patch from a while ago: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.geom/3776/focus=3802 Your solution is clearly superior while providing the same end result. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
