If that is solved, then we can avoid one reboot. I have used a hacked test/test.c with a function named eaccess() since this problem first bit me. I sometimes boot old kernels that don't have eaccess(2). Current kernels from 2 years ago still mostly work with current userlands apart from this. (Many sysctls and things like ps don't work. More interestingly, soft updates causes panics when a file is removed.) Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
