Thinking about it some more: for v6, I wouldn't use a packetized pipe at all (due to the unnecessary extra buffer consumption.) Instead just put the message size in the header and read a large chunk, which may end up being more than one packet and may end up with a partial packet at the end. *This is okay*, because there is only one reader, and any additional data needed will be gotten the next time around the loop. -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
