And, anyhow, the swapper is my :> baby. We can probably remove the external user accessible /dev/drum :> but we aren't going to be messing with it any more then that. : :Cool, so you will kill /dev/drum then ? : :-- :Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member :phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop." If you implement a means to create unassociated (i.e. no major/minor number at all) devices, the swap device can be converted to one internally. We aren't going to get rid of the cdevsw structure, though. Creating totally custom I/O interfaces is never a good idea. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
