Ah, ok. I think I understand how it works.. BTW., does the 2GB limit for files still apply for ext2 (mounted on FreeBSD, obviously)? I think I encountered this on 5.2.1 when ext2 was commented out from the kernel Makefile (as module) and marked as "broken" but I needed it (this was when I also encountered that "won't clean buffers" problem in the same way as the OP.) mkb. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
