So we can have (pseudo)-code like this: if (QueryVariableInfo says enough space) pstore saves log as new record else we consider over-write options to re-use an existing record, or just drop this one That looks like a good solution - platforms that provide enough non-volatile memory for multiple records make use of it for better diagnosis. Those that don't have available memory don't get to test their "what do we do when we run out of space" code. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
