On my 2.2-960501-SNAP system here, just listing some of the files on my DOS slice will cause all my FreeBSD partitions to become ruined well beyond my ability to repair. Maybe a bug in the -SNAP code I didn't hear about. Ditto for me as well with the June 2.2 snap. MTBF was a little under an hour :-( Floppies, of course, mount finely. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk Rob
