Besides the > fact that I dislike this, I decided against the NetBSD way of Isn't it time, anyway, to fix this? This legacy dates from long time ago; e.g. the log message in the kernel code which declares the ffs module (it reads: `` Call ffs ``ufs'' for the benefit of poor, confused user-land programs. '') dates to September '94. Are there any arguments against changing the filesystem type name to 'ffs' in the kernel and in the userland? If not, I'll volunteer to find all kernel/userland uses I can and provide a diff. -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
