The system is free to detach any dip that's not needed (e.g., by periodically attempting to unload things). It may have become not needed because of direct administrator action, or simply as a side effect of what the running processes on the system are doing (e.g., what devices they happen to have open). -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
