May I attract your attention towards the bin/21017 PR (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=21017 for more details) about how mtree(1) fails to compare a file system against a database? I'm stuck in narrowing down what causes the problem and I wouldn't want to be the responsible developer trying to fix this bug with the little and confuse info provided so far. :) It's not that I didn't try to work things out. It's just that I fail to see what's going wrong ... :( Is anybody else using mtree in a similar way? Is somebody else experiencing this failure? Does anybody even know what conditions would "help" to cause the failure (this would be the best thing that could happen)? I apologize for crossposting to multiple lists, but I'm trying to reach the appropriate audience with the will to eliminate this bug. Please don't burden the lists and reply via PM instead, I will summarize and use the gained knowledge to help and solve the problem, of course. Or feel free to f'up to the PR directly when you think the info will be of general interest. This will keep the details in the audit trail and won't bother uninterested list members. Thank you for reading this and considering what would aid in solving the problem. Have a nice day! virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
