In fact, I was hoping to get away with fewer states an object can be in and to simplify the state machine. For example, I don't really see a need for fourteen different subdisk states. Of course, you had a reason for putting them in, and if we want to be really clever, we probably need them. But IMHO some states and state changes are not very intuitive from a user perspective. But I'll have a closer look at it. cheers, le -- Lukas Ertl http://homepage.univie.ac.at/l.ertl/ le@FreeBSD.org http://people.freebsd.org/~le/
