E.g., I'm thinking it might suffice to set WITH_OFED='yes' in src.conf and just rebuild select tools/libs. There appear to be things outside contrib/ofed and sys/modules that need to be rebuilt, but I wouldn't want to try and determine what they are on my own.

At present, freebsd-update will remove IB support if it updates the kernel, making it necessary to do another buildkernel following the updates. > > Certain other updates might necessitate a buildworld as well, which would also be nice to eliminate. > > Thanks, > > Jason > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-infiniband@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-infiniband > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-infiniband-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
