So it is acceptable to come in and break existing functionality because you don't feel like finishing the job? I mean, come on, you had to do the work to change the code to make it break existing functionality. It would have been _less_ work to have left the code that respected minfree, etc. and kept the filenames the same as it is. IMO, it is unacceptable to come in and break stuff and then say it's not your problem to fix it. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
