I have no words to describe how following that up with even more commits, despite the complaints, should be categorized. I don't understand while you haven't backed these commits out and I doubly do not understand why you continue to make further commits. And this isn't even counting the fact that you've done all of this without word-1 to group discussion-wise. I'm all for separating the I/O from the buffer cache, but forcing it into the tree as a done-deal when two other people are also actively working in the VFS/BIO subsystem is unjustifiable (in the extreme). -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
