Doh!

I didn't edit the subject line before forwarding this out!

Sorry!

Does anyone know of anything which uses the c_spare field of the
u_spcl.s_spcl structure, which is declared under
/usr/include/protocols/dumprestore.h? We have some local mods which give
us 128 extra bytes per inode to deal with, and want to be able to dump
them. The c_spare field is defined as:

int32_t c_spare[32];        /* reserved for future uses */

and so it would be perfect! Unless something else has come along and used
this field. :-(

Has it?

Take care,

Bill
