I thought the issue was that POSIX allowed you to make this change globally or per-filesystem, but not per-process: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/shell-discuss/2009-July/000868.html And you couldn't allow shrinking PIPE_BUF without breaking binary compatibility with apps compiled with the existing value, but could allow increasing it. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
