Actually, I was thinking that rewriting the initial file checks in such a way that it first tries to do them without swap, if it fails it'll then query about starting swap (with a x-second timeout, defaulting to yes). Negative answer will result in a failure (and then init dropping into 'single user' mode)--where positive will just swapon -a, then run fsck again. Since 99% of the time it probably wont be an issue, I think this is probably the best solution (and simplest)... and it doesn't involve hacking anything other than the startup stuff. -Brandon Gillespie --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: tB1F0MgonsIEjAtl49U1N6s5J+y3tqhh iQA/AwUBNs19rkv5XoQiMgn6EQLipQCgtYFRujfgU9jMPZpP24u7Ni+nMZIAoMWR RhlrTlkYfUd7I6Tbi8WSAdsq =RJCh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
