--NjAZgGx+5kyWce/c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable At work, we have some machines we're setting up that have a fair amount of UFS2 "scratch space." While we would prefer to leave the file systems in question intact iff they are "clean," we do not want to run fsck(8) against them if they are not (because we expect that it would take too long); rather, we want to merely recreate them (with newfs(8)). While I might be able to hack something together by cribbing appropriate bits of fsck_ffs(8), I'm a great deal more comfortable cobbling up glue scripts and the like -- I don't fancy myself all that much of a C coder. Anyone know of a reasonable way to quickly determine whether or not a UFS2 file system is clean from the command line? Thanks! Peace, david --=20 David H.
