Use VFSs/VOPs instead. This isn't a big problem with passing string > from kernel to userland. .. (god knows when this'll get through, as I'm writing this email whilst waiting for a flight at Heathrow Airport..) I've been considering mapping the mount options into a string and having that passed down into VFS_MOUNT. However, the real solution right now is to make mount_$FSTYPE -p work. Then mount can just wrap mount_$FSTYPE, just like fsck / fsck_$FSTYPE does. The only thing preventing me from doing it right now is the lack of Copious Free Time(tm) :) -- Adrian Chadd "Programming is like sex: <adrian@freebsd.org> One mistake and you have to support for a lifetime." -- rec.humor.funny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
