See the man page for "newfs" for information on doing this, but fair warning: floppies are a little "unusual" (in limited capacity and removability), compared to the usual media for UNIX filesystems. Either difference is capable of contributing to "interesting" situations. You might also check recent archives of the list, where some discussion took place re: non-default newfs parameters. david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
