Hmm, I think this doesn't quite work. Suppose the buffer has wrapped but only a few new entries are logged (so that there are zero'd entries at the end of the larger buffer). In this case that things like 'ktrdump' and 'show ktr' will only show events from the start of the buffer up to the index and will miss the old events after the current index. (They walk the buffer backwards and stop at the first "empty" entry.) -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ 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"
