: No, you have not over looked anything. There is a fundemental problem : that makes this very hard to do. Can you say BIG_INDIAN vs LITTLE_INDIAN. : : I thought so.... I was hoping this wasn't going to rear its ugly head.... : > Baring functional code, anybody have any ideas on how to procede? : : Major reworking of the ufs layer to do INDIAN conversion based on : volume label magic values. Can you say slow ufs after you do this? Well, I could do it and make it a compile time option, so that if I needed this, I could do it. I could also have it be ufs-big or something like that for the Sun cdroms. That way there'd be a second copy of the binary code, but only one source and my system disk would be slow so I could access the odd cdrom. Yuck. Warner
