According to Thomas T. Veldhouse: > the root slice as sync. I figured it was safer, and it wasn't that > important to me to have that particular slice on softupdates anyway. Beware of something that can be deadly for a "make installworld". When using SU, space freed by "rm" takes a bit more time to be taken into account and you can fill "/" or "/usr" up because the space recovered by "install" is not yet freed. It happened to me a few times for "/usr" and one time for "/". Having "/bin/sh" with a 0-byte size is not good for booting :-) -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #67: Tue Dec 29 20:24:02 CET 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
