Yes its perfect for the job apart from: man mount_null THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK) AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET. This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious hackers can apply by sending mail to hackers@freebsd.org and announcing their intent to take it over. I actually tried it a few weeks ago and yes it did screw up files :-( (that was on stable - my current box is broken but checking CVS man page it looks like the warning still applies) But I'd be happy to hear it works on current! tonym To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
