If i try and use, anything with a lot of characters or, ideally, random data--then i get a core dump before the password input for creating the lock file. i am cuerous if the -f function is known to be stable or not? I have tried this with an updated 5_3 and from an install cd of 5.4-beta1. both provide the same results. Would the fact that this is an SMP system effect it? (i have tried it with SMP builtinto the kernel and without SMP, again, same results) this is my input, and it'll crash just after i enter this: gbde init /dev/ad0s3d -i -f /file/namehere "I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus doing something very stupid, and I decided to go ahead anyway." -MST3k
