GEOM operates on byte offsets in order to be able to accomodate non 2^n sector sizes (CD's for instance). Rather than hardcode the size as uint64_t, and rather than introduce yet a bloody typedef, I chose to use off_t for the offsets. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
