When I reverted to -stable, I had fsck come up with a long list of complaints about snapshot files which should have been deleted long ago. Probably they were caused by a failed background fsck under -current (I had an unexpected softupdates inconsistency on the partition due to a kernel panic, and background fsck would just wedge the entire machine when trying to deal with it). However, I don't know why they weren't dealt with by fsck under -current. Kris PGP signature

I've ben doing in since about the 2nd week of March, tracking -STABLE & -CURRENT daily (with a few exceptions; sometimes I couldn't build -CURRENT for as much as a day). >I've been away from freebsd for the last few months and have a fuzzy >recollection that something about the on-disk superblock structure >changed in -current earlier this summer (related to dirprefs?) and >fsck on -stable wouldn't be able to fsck a fs used by current. >Is that still a problem?

sharing disk between current and stable?
Is it safe to share a disk between -current and -stable these days? I've been away from freebsd for the last few months and have a fuzzy recollection that something about the on-disk superblock structure changed in -current earlier this summer (related to dirprefs?) and fsck on -stable wouldn't be able to fsck a fs used by current. Is that still a problem? Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
