That depends on what this implies. :) Does it mean that when giving M_NOWAIT there's a chance it may fail more often than the old zone allocator? Meaning does M_NOWAIT mean "only allocate from cache" or do you do close to the same thing that the zone allocator does except in a more flexible manner? Sorry if the question is niave, I'm not extremely familiar with the previous and current code. -- -Alfred Perlstein [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
