Personally, I think it would be a doable project if someone wanted to have a go at it - to allow a filesystem to be grown or shrunk on a cylinder-by-cylinder basis. The only real complexity occurs when you are shrinking a filesystem - you have to locate the inodes & indirect blocks associated with allocated data blocks in the cylinder you are trying to remove in order to move the blocks. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
