types of MAC overheads such as preambles, link level retransmissions
and more.
Note- this commit changes the userland/kernel ABI for pipes
(but not for ordinary firewall rules) so you need to rebuild
kernel and /sbin/ipfw to use dummynet features.
Please check the manpage for details on the new feature.
The MFC would be trivial but it breaks the ABI, so it will
be postponed until after 7.2 is released.
Interested users are welcome to apply the patch manually
to their RELENG_7 tree.

look at each nibble. This makes it so we make

if a entry is not route add -net xxx/bits then we should use
the addr (xxx) to establish the number of bits by looking at
the first non-zero bit. So if we enter
route add -net 10.1.1.0 10.1.3.5
this is the same as doing
route add -net 10.1.1.0/24
Since the 8th bit (zero counting) is set to 1 we set bits
to 32-8.
Users can of course still use the /x to change this behavior
or in cases where the network is in the trailing part
of the address, a "netmask" argument can be supplied to
override what is established from the interpretation of the
address itself. e.g:
route add -net 10.1.1.8 -netmask 0xff00ffff
should overide and place the proper CIDR mask in place.

Not only did these two drivers depend on IFF_NEEDSGIANT, they were
broken 7 months ago during the MPSAFE TTY import. if_ppp(4) has been
replaced by ppp(8). There is no replacement for if_sl(4).
If we see regressions in for example the ports tree, we should just use
__FreeBSD_version 800045 to check whether if_ppp(4) and if_sl(4) are
present. Version 800045 is used to denote the import of MPSAFE TTY.
Discussed with: rwatson, but also rwatson's IFF_NEEDSGIANT emails on the
lists.
The work have been under testing and fixing since then, and it is mature enough
to be put into HEAD for further testing.
A lot have changed in this time, and here are the most important:
- Gvinum now uses one single workerthread instead of one thread for each
volume and each plex. The reason for this is that the previous scheme was
very complex, and was the cause of many of the bugs discovered in gvinum.
Instead, gvinum now uses one worker thread with an event queue, quite
similar to what used in gmirror.
- The rebuild/grow/initialize/parity check routines no longer runs in
separate threads, but are run as regular I/O requests with special flags.
This made it easier to support mounted growing and parity rebuild.
- Support for growing striped and raid5-plexes, meaning that one can extend the
volumes for these plex types in addition to the concat type. Also works while
the volume is mounted.
- Implementation of many of the missing commands from the old vinum:
attach/detach, start (was partially implemented), stop (was partially
implemented), concat, mirror, stripe, raid5 (shortcuts for creating volumes
with one plex of these organizations).
- The parity check and rebuild no longer goes between userland/kernel, meaning
that the gvinum command will not stay and wait forever for the rebuild to
finish. You can instead watch the status with the list command.
- Many problems with gvinum have been reported since 5.x, and some has been hard
to fix due to the complicated architecture. Hopefully, it should be more
stable and better handle edge cases that previously made gvinum crash.
- Failed drives no longer disappears entirely, but now leave behind a dummy
drive that makes sure the original state is not forgotten in case the system
is rebooted between drive failures/swaps.
- Update manpage to reflect new commands and extend it with some examples.

an alternative program to be used for mounting a file system.
Ideally, all file systems
should be converted to pass string arguments to nmount(), so that
/sbin/mount can handle them. However, certain file systems such as FUSE have
not done this, and want to have their own userland mount programs.
For example, to mount an NTFS file system with the FUSE NTFS driver:
mount -t ntfs -o mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/acd0 /mnt
or via an fstab entry:
/dev/acd0 /mnt ntfs ro,noauto,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0
