Hi, getblk() tries to get a buffer with specified size of physical memory allocated to it. I got two questions about this routine: (1) The given size could be greater than the optimial size contained in the mount structure. The comment says "this happens on mount points". Why is the case? (2) If the buffer is in the core, we check for size inconsistancies. Why should this happen and why should we be conservative on metadata. Any help is appreciated. -------------------------------------------------- | Zhihui Zhang, http://cs.binghamton.edu/~zzhang | | Dept. of Computer Science, SUNY at Binghamton | -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
