Needless to say, I want this backed out, as it was not approved at all. Judging by the message, he probably removed the Pfile case. However, he didn't pay attention to my proposition first.

You lose the "access from userland to the last reference of an unlinked file" that file could provide, but that could be obtained in other ways. > > DES > -- > Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@flood.ping.uio.no > > -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
