Sorry to butt in, but I used to be a filesystem developer in a previous life, working on archive storage for things like medical and financial data. Pet peeve: WORM is Write *Once* , not Write *Only* "Write only" storage is easy and fast - just throw things at /dev/null and they can never be altered (or read back). -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "We're the technical experts.
