I'm not able to confirm this; the size of the arrays as near as I can tell is much smaller than this - less than 1K each total. >7) 48K statically allocated normally-unused matcd table `matcd_data' > (enough for 16 drives!). Is this in -current or -stable? I just looked at the result of compiling the matcd driver, and I can't confirm your results: [corbin:CORBINX] size matcd.o text data bss dec hex 10704 1328 6916 18948 4a04 Also, since the table you mentioned is uninitialized data, it should appear in the .bss in any case...this isn't a problem - we're only interested in the actual size of the binary. I must be missing something. -DG
