I'm afraid currently not, at least on IA32, space is pretty tight. I hope to be able to recover some by dropping tunefs again, now that newfs can handle setting the softupdates flag. But that still needs to be done (and it's not that easy since sysinstall apparently offers to tunefs a filesystem when not running as init, too -- but it could hope to find tunefs in the regular filesystem tree then). Both reset and rescan basically share the same (minimal) code set, that's why i left "reset" in even though it's certainly less needed. devlist adds a good part of further code (like handling /dev/passN) plus probably a number of constant strings. > This question is triggered by me just overwriting the wrong disk > on my Alpha during a RC test :-/ That reminds me: could you test it in a "make release" on the Alpha? -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
