Hello.

well, I'm aware of that, but it doesn't matter. As long as I do not use
a broken or commented out module, it is all right.

I was a little bit surprised having options already set I never set in
the usual config file named after the host's name or GENERIC.

And for FBSD 10.0/amd64, it has been started to use a VFS-option for
loading thread safe filesystems.

Regards,
Oliver
