Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG well, about an hour ago I enabled softupdates on my vaio, rebooted and was going to test how long it took to compile a kernel. I got sidetracked playing with usb and seeing what happened when I ran strings on the ugen0 device that my usb floppy apparently connects to, and lo and behold the machine rebooted in the middle of the compile. now this didn't surprise me as I really had no business diddling the device in such a fashion, but I was crossing my fingers to see what the fsck would look like. not a single error. it just works absolutely perfectly! :) thank you, thank you, thank you for existing freebsd! -chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
