I have no particular objection to adding the #define or renaming VM_TOTAL back to VM_METER, but I *WILL* point out that even without a name change the VM cnt structure has changed so often that for all intents and purposes the API has changed with or without the name change, on many occassions, and is likely to continue to change in the future. Because of this there isn't much point keeping name compatibility and unless you can point to some piece of third party software that is so adversely effected that the name must be changed back, I would not recommend changing it back. But if you want to do it, I will not stop you. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
