No offense, but this is really pretty ugly for something that I'd anticipate to be a *major* edge case. I've been building releases for years, for example, and I've yet to build one on a filesystem all by itself. I usually just cast around for some space on an existing (shared) fs and go to it, and I suspect that many others are the same way. :-) I'm not saying there shouldn't be a *hook* of some sort for doing "fast cleans", but the patches as they stand add way too much of a delta for only one very specific optimization. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
