No, there isn't. However, most of the supposedly unique features of AdvFS are available with FreeBSD. As far as I recall, the ones that aren't supported are: - "never" needing an fsck after a crash - graphical user interface for administration - undelete Many features attributed to AdvFS by its documentation are supported in FreeBSD by system components other than the filesystem. - Lowell Gilbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
