That might work fine for a managed cluster, but it wouldn't be a good fit if you ever wanted to support something like a laptop in disconnected operation, or if you ever want to restore the same snapshot more than once. There may also be some practical userspace issues making pids that large. I also hate bloating types and making them sparse just for the hell of it. It is seriously demoralizing to do a ps and see 7011827128432950176177290 staring back at you. :) -- Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
