There was a discussion about LFS on -hackers and someone posted this URL (haven't got round to checking it yet myself):- ftp://ftp.scis.org/pub/lfs/ There's a good discussion of LFS and lots of other internals stuff in "Unix Internals (The New Frontiers)" by Valhalia. No doubt the new 4.4BSD edition of the daemon book will have something as well. > I'm concerned with the stability of my system!

Perhaps when 2.2 is released... Anyway, the freebsd-fs mailing list is probably the place to watch for file-system developments. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
