compat directory
It may be a stupid question but my FreeBSD-8.2 system lacks a /compat directory. Is this normal? does it get installed through some kind of software package? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It is created by sysinstall. /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/install.c around line 860: Mkdir(/usr/compat); vsystem(ln -s usr/compat /compat); So it should be there when you've been using sysinstall for system installation. If you've used a different tool (or no tool), it may be the reason why it is missing. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you've used a different tool (or no tool), it may be the reason why it is missing. I installed a ZFS on root system using the known scripts. So the symlink is not created ;-) Thanks for the info. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
