Hi, It seems to me there are 2 ways to discover the file system type from the mount structure. Both involve accessing the vfsconf substructure (mp->mnt_vfc). The first is a numeric identifier mp->mnt_vfc->vfc_typenum and the second is a string vfc_name, also in vfsconf. Which is the preferred way to identify the fs type? Some comments indicate that the vfc_typenum is deprecated, but for ops that require frequent identification a strcmp call will begin to be expensive. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
