I forgot to mention before that I got some feedback that removing these macros affects portability to other platforms (BSD specifically). I don't really seek to do that, and would like to keep it so that XFS *can* port to other platforms. Here we just face a trade-off between preserving support for other environments (especially those not under active development) and keeping the leading edge of development clean, free to evolve, and unencumbered by external requirements. I acknowledge that by accepting these I'm leaning toward progress of XFS despite its effect on portability non-Linux environments (or even older Linux kernels). -Alex _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
