Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG is there a way to perhaps mount_union over devfs to keep symlinks and such? also, is there a way to preserve permission changes between reboots? maybe a script that would do it based on a file... libdisk is still broken with DEVFS/SLICE, barfs on: ioctl: : Inappropriate ioctl for device failed on IOCTL disk = /dev/rwd0 errno = 25 (i added some debugging stuff to the code) disklabel is also b0rked, will not write out to the disk. (not being sarcastic) i know DEVFS is quite new, but is it expected to be used? or is it something akin to kernfs? thanks, Alfred Perlstein - Programmer, HotJobs Inc. - www.hotjobs.com -- There are operating systems, and then there's FreeBSD. -- http://www.freebsd.org/ 3.0-current To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
