who in the right mind would use the keyword REQ for describing successfull allocations? i think if this is really the case, it should be changed to SUCC and, if possible, REQ, describing the total number of requested allocations, should be added. just my 0.02$. thanks for clearing thinks up for me. unfortunately the vmstat(8) man page doesn't come with any description for the -z output. it would be nice to have sections for every vmstat mode, like in the procstat(1) man page. cheers. alex > > -- > wbr, > pluknet _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
