By all means, geom_vol_ffs was basically a prototype for me. It worked well enough for my needs. I chose the slicer api because it made more sense to me at the time. There weren't any docs when I was writing geom_vol_ffs and all the other modules seemed to use the slicer api. In fact, feel free to rip the whole thing apart. But don't change struct ffs, that was painful. -gordon --IMjqdzrDRly81ofr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAmZDuRu2t9DV9ZfsRApdZAKDLICV8hSo5AMYx9AasMvJyCr+IlACeO4r2 N1MDs3LeiDkAf/xlneuAxpY= =XJO+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --IMjqdzrDRly81ofr--
