Depends on what you mean by "my root directory". If you mean what you said, you'd be in deep trouble at your next reboot. If you mean "the home directory for the root user", then it won't matter much -- it won't be there in single-user mode on reboot, but that's not likely to impact you. -- Greg Black To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
