All right, I'm back in action. :-) I got some ddm questions: + Do I need to copy out the data in the pointer arguments (all of which are names) for the _kern_validate_set_partition_{name,content_name,type}() functions? I can't really see any reason to other than truncating long names, but I was planning on returning B_NAME_TOO_LONG in those instances anyway. + Same question, but for the "parameters" parameter of _kern_validate_initialize_partition(). I'm guessing no. + Do we have a limit on the length of those parameter strings? I'm currently assuming no. -Tyler
