Message-ID: <1991Feb26.1046.1855@canrem.uucp> Date: 26 Feb 91 10:01:37 EST Reply-To: "glen lalonde" Distribution: comp Organization: Canada Remote Systems I attempted to do a 'nm' on the kernel image that I had, but it failed. After I investigated the problem, I think I have at least one good question. The header files show that 'read' takes an unsigned int for the number of bytes to read. Yet fs has a check "if (nbytes <0) return(EINVAL)" Thus if you try to read > 32767 bytes at once the read will fail. There is a comment a few lines above "only MM >32K at once". Why can't a normal user process read up to 64K at once? -- Canada Remote Systems. Toronto, Ontario NorthAmeriNet Host
