the stack to the heap to work around a problem on ia64. Now, roughly
16 months and two compiler updates later, it isn't an issue anymore
in the sense that putting a 1M buffer on the stack just works and we
don't actually need to work around anything anymore.
However, since there's no advantage or need to put the buffer on the
stack (again), this change merely removes the XXX comment describing
that there's an explicit reason for the heap allocation. Hence, this
change is a functional no-op.

filesystem that is checked in background. Create the snapshot in this
directory rather than in the root. There are two benefits:
1) For terabyte-sized filesystems, the snapshot may require many
minutes to build. Although the filesystem will not be suspended
during most of the snapshot build, the snapshot file itself is
locked during the entire snapshot build period. Thus, if it is
accessed during the period that it is being built, the process
trying to access it will block holding its containing directory
locked. If the snapshot is in the root, the root will lock and
the system will come to a halt until the snapshot finishes. By
putting the snapshot in a subdirectory, it is out of the likely
path of any process traversing through the root and hence much
less likely to cause a lock race to the root.
2) The dump program is usually run by a non-root user running with
operator group privilege. Such a user is typically not permitted
to create files in the root of a filesystem. By having a directory
in group operator with group write access available, such a user
will be able to create a snapshot there. Having the dump program
create its snapshot in a subdirectory below the root will benefit
from point (1) as well.

and the logic for setting them according to the partition size.
Instead, unspecified filesystem values are left at 0 so that newfs
will use its own defaults. It just caused confusion to have the
defaults duplicated in two different places.

Skinny is the protocol used by Cisco IP phones to talk to Cisco Call
Managers. With this code, one can use a Cisco IP phone behind a FreeBSD
NAT gateway.
Currently, having the Call Manager behind the NAT gateway is not supported.
More information on enabling Skinny support in libalias, natd, and ppp
can be found in those applications' manpages.

of do_cmd() broke things, because this function assumes that a socklen_t
is large enough to hold a pointer.
A real solution to this problem would be a rewrite of do_cmd() to
treat the optlen parameter consistently and not use it to carry
a pointer or integer dependent on the context.
The immediate purpose for this option is to use it in rc.d so that we
can make savecore behavior conditional.

statically linked than dynamically + sizeof(libstdc++). Additionally,
devd doesn't use get*by*() which is one of the main motivations for
dynamically linking your root partition anyway.
WITH_DYNAMICROOT, which will toggle the generation of dynamically-linked
binaries for installation in /bin and /sbin. It is currently off,
meaning that /bin and /sbin are still statically linked by default.
If something goes wrong (which I hope doesn't), this is what /rescue is
all about. Please do not try to use WITH_DYNAMICROOT and NO_RESCUE to
save space or some other equally silly reason. If you do and end up
having problems, you have been warned.
Update ffsinfo(8) to use new UFS2 support in the growfs(8) debugging
functions. Largely consists of renaming fields and types to be aware
of the UFS1/UFS2 distinction, relying on libufs(3) to open and sanity
check the device/file/label accessed.
Since libufs(3) now handles label/UFS interactions, remove -L argument.
Note: when submitted, this patch had substantial style changes. I've
attempted to remove the restyling from the patch to separate the
functional and style changes.
