We have many servers using carp and it increases the complexity of installs and (binary) upgrades when you have to build a custom kernel only for this functionality. The kernel size increase is small and the benefits are (IMHO) worthwhile. >How-To-Repeat: device carp is not in the GENERIC kernel and it is very difficult to make a module to add this support via kld >Fix: Please consider adding "device carp" to the GENERIC kernel. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
