Re: multiple links with single ln command
Thanks for all the ideas. They are very helpful. -S Brian O'Shea [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It can be done with a shell for-loop: $ mkdir a b c $ for dir in a b ; do (cd $dir ; ln -s ../c clink) ; done But this is technically not a single command, and it assumes that you are using the Bourne Shell (/bin/sh) or a Bourne-compatible shell (ksh, zsh, bash, etc.). If you are a csh or tcsh user, may God help you.

Re: freebsd 5.3, gmirror raid 1, PROBLEM
Hi, The machine won't boot from either drive connected as a master. I tried them one at a time. I'm guessing I'll have to boot from a CD but don't know the process. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe one of the drives just died on you. Try booting the system with one drive at a time connecting as a master (Primary on IDE1). Let us know how it goes.
