HP-UX uses a similar scheme with /stand/vmunix (and /stand/system for tuned parameters). /stand is always an HFS (aka UFS) whereas all the other FS can be VxFS. Speaking of HP, their LVM system is cool. Now, that would be a nice addition to vinum (please don't look at me, I'm not a FS expert). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #70: Sat Feb 27 09:43:08 CET 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
