Perhaps *devfs_timestamp_update* is a better name. thoughts? If something shorter is desired: devfs_ts_update might be ok, though I prefer the former. Let's not forget these are user visible system control knobs, not just code variables, though I do understand the desire to shorten them, and that we do have descriptions for them ... mostly :) koobs _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
