Many doubt its usefulness in detecting errors before it is too late. It thinks 40% of my disks are bad (which I don't). I've turned it off, I know many that have. I would like to remove it from the base system and put it in ports. I really don't see what justifies keeping it in /usr/src. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
