the current maximum buffer limit of fetch(1) actually is around 1G. i think 1M is not enough, because if people are pulling data over fast lines they'll have almost constant disk writes. how about 100M then? ;) on the other hand why have a maximum limit? if people want to have a buffer of 100 gigabyte why shouldn't they? it's their decision actually. so maybe the maximum buffer check should just be left out and the only limitation will be that expand_number() can't handle anything that won't fit into uint64_t. cheers. alex > > DES > -- > Dag-Erling Smørgrav - [email protected] -- a13x _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
