Not really knowing what this was I went and read http://www.mckusick.com/softdep. Clever and interesting however this doc seemed to pertain to theory only. I performed a little browse on the mailing list and found nothing very relevent on softupdates ie. semantics. I checked /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs and their was a softupdates readme that just covers tunefs (enabling soft updates) and a URL which offered more theory. So, just how would I create this snapshot? > - Jordan > > Paul Halliday ============================================================================ Don't underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
