If it were up to me, I'd rather keep it in. I get sick of thunking my documentation database just to figure out what RPM drive X runs at for OS'es I use (and will still use in the future) that consider the value relevant. disklabel -r X is much easier than bothering NFS and a db thunk. If something needs to be done, make a note in the disklabel manpage. Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
