That's a silly idea. Either the FS should fly as a kernel module as submitted or else forget it. A port exists in user-land NOT kernel-land. The VFS/VNODE interface changes from RELEASE to RELEASE. This would mean that the port would need to be upgraded for each release of FreeBSD. >Andrew Tanenbaum spells his name "Tanenbaum", not "Tannenbaum", >no matter how dearly you might like to see him dressed up as >a Christmas tree; I apologize to Andrew Tanenbaum for misspelling his name; I meant no disrespect to him and I will correct the error in the appropriate places. Thank-you for pointing that out to me; however, the remark that you made that I want to see him dressed up as a Christmas tree, seems a little desparate to me: Is that the extent of your criticism of this submittal? >next time, you may want to post the patch on the web and just provide >a URL in the PR rather than the entire patch. 30,000-line PRs aren't >much fun. Firstly, I posted the question in question@freebsd.org. It was suggested to me (by more than one response) that I should submit the diff as a PR. Secondly, It says in the handbook to submit large code as a PR. Thirdly, You, Dag-Erling Smorgrav, don't have to read the PR!
