One major missing piece is all the GEOM stuff for making it behave as a disk drive to mount filesystems on. Is this really missing, or did whoever grabbed it for our 6.1 port just get too early a version? If it is missing, is this something that's worth back-offering to the FreeBSD community? -- Andrew Duane Juniper Networks 978-589-0551 10 Technology Park Dr aduane@juniper.net Westford, MA 01886-3418 =20
