Wrong. The issue I am raising is specific to 2.2. The SLICE code gets it right, and I am 100% behind committing to that for 3.0, providing we have a workable answer to the persistence question, and a resolution on the appropriate techniques for disk metainformation management. I was hoping that we could discuss that at the SFBUG last night. 8( -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
