Instead, it's an mdconfig, disklabel, newfs and mount wrapper. I think it's counter-intuitive and doesn't fit in with the rest of the mount_* programs. That's what I was getting at in my original message. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
