I believe there are two instances of the UFS code created in this case... I don't believe it's a variant compilation of a single shared set of code. If I'm wrong, then the #ifdef's are a bug, just as #ifdef XSERVER in the console driver was a bug. > I saw a freeze for last week's kernel while testing this, but it seemed > to be a vfs problem. ddb kept working and showed that the mount list was > circular or something like that.

Which, of course, is *supposed* to work... 8-(. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
