It will? ben@strontium:~$ ls /modules/e* zsh: no matches found: /modules/e* It can try. :-) I've been wondering for a while why there's not ext2fs module, when most other filesystems are available as modules. I don't think this is caused by my system being stale either; I've just cvsupped, and there's nothing in /sys/modules for ext2fs: root@magnesium:/usr/local/etc/cvsup# ls /usr/cvs/src/sys/modules/e* zsh: no matches found: /usr/cvs/src/sys/modules/e* An oversight, or something else? -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
