Re: The eventual fate of BLOCK devices.

scribed, too. While I were at it, I sent a "which" command to the majordomo, and the result did not list me as a member of freebsd-announce and freebsd-security- notifications. When I tried to re-subscribe, it told me that I am already subscribed... Seems like majordomo is major buggy

Re: gcc optimizer in -current system ...

r the Athlon, and I found out that gcc does a pretty poor job. :-( Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in writing compilers, and I don't dare to touch the gcc source code. After all, the compiler is one of the most critical parts of the system. Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizs

Re: gcc optimizer in -current system ...

is traditionally buggy. I wouldn't trust a system compiled with anything more than -O (especially on production servers). The higher optimization levels don't provide much of a speed improvement anyway, sometimes they make the code even slower. YMMV. Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme
