The bugfixes were largely in the area of snapshot handling, and so can be picked out of the CVS logs largely on the file ffs_snapshot.c. Most were for resource or locking deadlock issues.=20 Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects robert@fledge.watson.org Network Associates Laboratories To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
