This patch scares me a little. FASTCLEAN should at a minimum be set to some value, like "NEWFS" (and probably something a bit more descriptive) before it goes around re-making file systems. I would hate to see my file system wiped out just because I have the "FASTCLEAN" environment variable set for some other application, and didn't intend for "make release" to use it. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mpp.pro-ns.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
