[-- Attachment #1 --] Salve, I always thought that building a kernel with debug symbols would increase the kernel size dramatically. But if I understand things right the additioal "symbols" (code snippets?) are not in the kernel but in a different file which makes the kernel the same size like without debug=-g. Is there any reason to not build it with debug=-g? Also I thought debug kernels suffer from reduced performance. I also have DDB in my kernel and don't _feel_ any difference. So again, is there any reason not to put DDB into the kernel? Thanks, -Harry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/uCe2Bylq0S4AzzwRAksiAJ0Wg2nJrZJxuHWkCFwWAbxSaaCjPQCfTotQ +wi0yuSk9zxLGa7qwH4EZcU= =efSn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
