Note that this will not have the same performance as the older all-static setup, because each binary in /rescue is a crunchgen'ed combination of *all* the commands there. They're all hardlinked together. Eg: (332) # ls -l /bin/cp /rescue/cp -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 113372 Nov 16 02:29 /bin/cp* -r-xr-xr-x 131 root wheel 3807836 Nov 16 02:30 /rescue/cp* I have no idea what kind of a difference that would make, I'm just saying that it is different... :-) -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
