If there | were going to be many anguished folks that had to go through | it, I would have played out all the senarios and made sure | they worked. The point of doing this change now was to fix | problems with UFS2 before most people had deployed it. From | here on out, I promise not to introduce major breakage :-) Ah, yes, programmers' promises; made a few of those myself (always eat crow early while it's still warm). Well, hopefully the destruction of one of my easily replacable partitions provides a window into taking care of the magic number failure for whomever has responsibility for fsck --and serves as a warning for the few who may have deployed UFS2. One of the prices of running in the fast lane is the occasional speed bump. Nothing ventured; nothing gained. However, I will wait another week to convert the rest of the file systems to UFS2 ... then again, maybe not! -- "We have met the enemy and he is us." --Walt Kelly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
