(who's the guy with the big head?) - who will do it? (who's the guy with the big balls?) - how far do the vfs stacks of freebsd and linux or irix differ? afaik, irix has a lot of vm intergration with their fs layer, freebsd also /k -- > Hackers do it with fewer instructions. http://www.webmonster.de http://www.apache.de http://www.splatterworld.de (NIC-HDL KR433/KR11-RIPE) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
