This is especially true of those > filesystems that make up the "root". I don't see what the problem is. I am perfectly content with having my root file system on UFS2 on a pair of mirror disks. Considering the amount of work which would be required to allow FreeBSD to boot from ZFS (which you apparently do not appreciate), I perfectly understand Pawel's choice. Remember that unlike Sun, we do not make the hardware our OS runs on, nor do we write the firmware for it. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
