Hi,

Can someone tell me why XFS-DMAPI deviates in the enum DM_EVEN_XXX
from the standard?

Thanks,
Manoj

>From the spec:

(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9657099/chap4.htm)

"
dm_eventtype_t

 REQUIREMENT

  This enumeration must contain at least the elements listed here. The DMAPI
  implementation may choose a different order for the elements. 
  
"

So as long as we have the events defined, it doesn't matter what
their value or order in the enum is. It's a very rubbery spec....

Cheers,

Dave.
