That's why you can't read it directly.
Are there plans to bump the default up from 8? I'm honestly torn on this topic whenever I install a new system. On the one hand I like having a lot of discrete mountpoints to control potential usage. On the other hand with drive space being so inexpensive I sometimes wonder if I need to bother and can get away with very few mountpoints. On very large disks (or arrays that appear as a single disk) I have to create multiple slices in order to get more than 8 mountpoints. Its an extra hoop to jump through. -steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
