I still don't like dynamic disk names. It's not a show-stopper by any stretch, but if you move disks around, (not uncommon on development machines) it's a pain. And while you're correct about the boot/fsck issues, adding a renumbering in /etc/fstab to my restart sequence isn't doing anything to get the machine back up quickly (or reliably). Anyway, enough of this -- I have config files to go hardwire :-) --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
