Anyone know knows what JFS is or other interesting nooks and crannies of unix ought to be experianced enough to lookup an answer to thier question beforehand. If you did a search you'd see this question comes up every other day or so and sometimes even more often. If you're asking, you ought to know. It'd be nice if all unsubscribed/just-subscribed people got an email back saying: "hey have you searched here? if you can't find an answer for your question that wasn't answered _3 days ago_ please resend to i_really_got_a_question@freebsd.org, or subscribe" :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
