[hopeful facial expression] :-) I think you can manipulate those features somewhat from FreeBSD with tunefs, but I don't know how. Alexander Viro said something about this on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. In Deja, I would do a search in CUBFM for Alexander Viro and ext2fs. I kinda wish Viro would read this list, as he seems to be an expert on areas common to both FreeBSD and Linux. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
