You can do the same with > other fs's: ...and happily shoot yourself in the foot this way. :) <personal_experience effect=fade out> I had pretty weird experiences into mounting multiple root directories (!). I have a crappy 486 which has an equally crappy IDE controller which can't grok my 3.2G HD. The loader couldn't boot the kernel from the drive. I had to keep another very crappy 250M HD with a duplicate of the / filesystem and a very special kernel that mounted its root from the other drive, since the kernel could recognize the drive correctly. Without DMA, of course. :) But it works. My point here is that I had a lot of fun in totally scrapping my system by doing a spurious mount /. No reboot(1) or halt(1) available... ;) C-A-Del! </personal_experience effect=fade in> Anyways... Another OT question.. Is any MFC planned for devfs? I'm getting jealous of -current (running -stable). ;) Thanks, A. -- La sémantique est la gravité de l'abstraction.
