One thing I would like to do in order to achieve this is to use a MFS filesystem for things like /var. Now to the question: Is there any way to initialize a MFS filesystem from a imagefile? I would like to have the /var-filesystem structure in a imagefile and then mount a MFS filesystem which initializes from this imagefile. I have read about how to do the oposite in the man-page, that is keep a imagefile in sync whith a MFS filesystem when the filesystem is unmounted, so I thought it should be possibly to initialize from a imagefile too.. -- Patrik Sundberg - email: ps@raditex.se - PGP: finger ps@raditex.se ---> telefon: 08-636 59 39 - mobiltelefon: 070-760 22 40 <--- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
