This allows = me to survive a newfs on a partition if I have to without having to hack = my /etc/fstab. I have a large /tmp partition at times, and it gets = newfs'd if there's a bad problem...

I haven't looked to see how hard it is to add, hopefully I will get some = time to look RSN and it shouldn't be too difficult. FWIW the above shell snippet is found in a post [sys]install shell = script I used for 6.x and later so it has had a bit of testing. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
