I know that it says beforehand to be careful of doing a newfs, and indeed I knew very well that I didn't want to newfs, but somehow (I assume because I accidentally hit "t" when setting my /usr mointpoint) I managed to newfs my /usr anyway. Extra confirmations are annoying, but since a newfs is not something you're likely to do much, I think the check is worth the annoyance. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
