It is not necessary to run rm -rf both before and after, it would suffice only doing it after the chflags invocation. But it is much faster doing chflags -R on an almost empty directory tree than on one with lots of files in it. If the rm -rf was only done after, all files in the tree would be visited twice; once by chflags and once by rm, this way most files are only looked at once. So, it is not necessary, but it is a bit more efficient. > Are we need /var/empty with schg flag? It is not *needed*. The schg flags is there to make sure that sysadmins realize that /var/empty *really* is supposed to be empty. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
