Is it safe to have the links transcend the jail? It seems like that would require careful contemplation. It does seem like a good idea to be able to support boot -r (reconfigure) and the fairly beautiful ddi_* routines that are available in Solaris. -- Jack Rusher, Senior Engineer | mailto:jar@integratus.com Integratus, Inc. | http://www.integratus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
