I didn't do the fstab stuff, since it was dropped from the RFC2307 code. It's pretty trivial, actually, if you want it, but the schema for it is draft, not RFC'ed. In general, I made some code that took N schema entries and mapped them to N C structures. That's why I said it was better than the Linux code. 8-). > > 8-) 8-). > > 8P How about the "millions of files" backend? I haven't doen the backend. I've done some investigation, though, and have a .mk file that kicks out .so's as a first run at kicking out a schema subtree responsibility vs. .so mechanism. The backend isn't completed, though. I think moving BSD to one database is a better bet, for the long haul, but I could revisit the code, as necessary?
