I did an experiment - repeated adding and deleting rules in two processes, as fast as possible. I expected EBUSY from time to time, but I also received EINVAL indeterministically. It seems to me that when the PF ioctl() is called simultaneously by two processes, it sometimes retuns EINVAL, although it sould be possible to either complete the operation (parameters are correct), or return EBUSY. -- Martin Beran Senior Developer Trusted Network Solutions, a.s. mobil: +420 603 820 932 [ www.tns.cz ] _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
