I have already talked with Jordan about this port. I plan to port Ext2fs to FreeBSD as ssoon as I get a little free time. > One drawback is the need to make ALL the BSD utilities (dump, restore, etc.) > play nice with ext2fs.

Well, Ext2fs comes with its own utilities (mkfs, fsck, tunefs, dumpfs, mklost+found, debugfs -- the filesystem debugger) so the BSD utilities should not need to be modified when Ext2fs is ported to FreeBSD. Oh, BTW, I have ported dump and restore (the 4.4BSD versions) to Ext2fs and they run fine. They are not public yet (there are in testing phase) but I should be able to make a public release next week. > Cpio and tar do not make a backup scheme. > > Bill > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Bill Pechter |Systems Administrator | > Ilex Systems |170 Patterson Ave | Shrewsbury, New Jersey 07702 > 908-532-2369 |pechter@sesd.ilex.com | pechter@stars.sed.monmouth.army.mil > Remy
