Perhaps you > can give me a TODO list that I can include at the top of kern_blob.c? oh, I can add a couple that will help what jlemon wants: fd <-> kblob (so you can read from disk directly into your kblob) userland <-> kblob (so you can read parts of the data into userland) all of these need to support offsets so you can read/write to any place in the kblob... then I think everyone would be happy, no? (unless they decide that I can't say anything useful and immediately attack me for saying something) -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 408 975 9651 Cu Networking "Thank God I'm an atheist, that'd just be confusing." -- cmc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
