If it works for you then i guess it is not problematic. One thing you cannot do with the above is delete files which are in the lower filesystem (not that the current rc.diskless1 does, but in principle you might want to do this). the solution currently in rc.diskless1 actually does a merge of 2-3 different filesystems, so between the mounts you have to populate /conf/etc as well. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
