I'm glad to see interest in accessing ext2! But I'll admit this list is a bit more than I can follow, usually. I would like to throw in, ext3 should be Linux standard this summer or fall with the release of stable 2.4.0 Linux kernel. The big highlight (besides being very different) being a journaling feature, allowing quick recovery from events like power failure. In the mean time, I'll be tuning my BSD skills, but since I'm a newbie, could someone recommend a lower volume and less technical list? I know nothing of BSD's filesystem, or similar hurtles, please respond directly if appropriate. TIA, // George -- +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ GEORGE GEORGALIS .
