Okay, I probably made that sound a lot worse than it actually is. There is only one new fileformat in there (and it's documented). But I understand where your concern is coming from. > I think we need somebody to reconsider how we configure our filesystems > in the future, in order to avoid a confusion of config files whose > interrelationship users will have no chance of figuring out. Are you referring just to the (currently messy) disk config/attach/whatever order, or a more drastic overhaul of how we configure disk settings? I haven't worked with CCD, Vinum, or GBDE (yet), so I'm not sure if I'll be a good person to tackle it, but I'll certainly give it some thought though. Sounds like an interesting little challenge that I may just be able to find time for :) Cheers, /Johny -- Johny Mattsson - System Designer ,-. ,-. ,-.
