Actually, you need to look at where the error message is generated, which will tell you that it's running out of the things returned by "witness_get". Then increase the compile time constant that controls them, and you won't run out any more. In theory, the only thing that will suffer from this is that some things will not be "witnessed" correctly, which means that you could have any of the problems witness ordinarily catches for you, but not know about them. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
