i read the man pages for chflags (1,2) but couldn't determine the real purpose, so i ask... does "nodump" implies that when a fs is dumped, the file w/ this flag will not be dumped? if this flag is applied to a directory, would the contents of the directory be dumped, or not? what does it mean if file is "opaque" in a "union stack"? and "arch" ... no clue, no speculation, waiting enlightenment. -- so, do you like word games or scrabble? - parv To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
