Hi, I was reading the release note for FreeBSD 6.0 (kernel parts), and found some things that might concern us:

I don't track glibc developement very closely. Does this affect us? > Recomputing the summary information for ?dirty?

The prior behavior can be restored by setting the > vfs.ffs.compute_summary_at_mount sysctl variable to a non-zero value. I don't think we have this "background fsck" feature in our init scripts (is this related to UFS snapshotting?). Is this a problem? Should we implement it or just set that sysctl to 1 to bring back the old behavior? -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
