You probably want to use the soft updates "snapshot" mechanism to take a frozen snapshot of the filesystem state and then run your checksumming/fingerprinting scan on that. At that point it's obviously going to be divergent with the ongoing state of the filesystem if that filesystem is active, but such is generally true of any monitoring mechanism, you just want to make sure that the state doesn't change under you as you're trying to derive your "base delta" state. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
