Chad Yeah, snapshots are FS-wide. If you make one once a day it's almost the same as a FS VMS feature. No, VM creates a new version of a file for each edit. So you would have to create a snapshot after each edit, so you only get 20 edits. And using the versioned files is not easy or intuitive since you have to play around with a new FS for each one, the snapshot.

Re: Undelete for UFS2?
It most certainly is. If you are using vim, them you can set patchmode This will keep the original version of a file(for example rc.conf.org) :help patchmode will tell you more. This saved me quite a few times after I screwed up a configuration file and didn't remember how to get it back again...

Re: Undelete for UFS2?
Lastly surely someone has implemented a trash folder mechanism for
freebsd... what is it called so I can look up how to install it?
maybe something like:
mkdir ~/.trash
alias rm 'mv -iv \!* ~/.trash/'
The problem with that solution is that when you move to a new system,
you assume that your files will go to trash and then OH NO
Better to do something like:
alias del 'mv -iv \!* ~/.trash/'
and get in the habit of using 'del'
Or maybe a script called 'del' in your path that looks like (I use
this one):
#!/bin/sh
DATESUFFIX=`date -u +%Y-%m-%d--%H.%M.%S` # All files deleted at the
same time need the same serial
LOCATION=${HOME}/.Trash
if [ \! -d ${LOCATION} ]; then
echo Creating $LOCATION...2
mkdir ${LOCATION}
chmod 700 ${LOCATION}
fi
if [ \! -z $SUDO_USER ]; then
THE_USER=$SUDO_USER
else
THE_USER=$USER
fi
for each in $@; do
if [ -e $each ]; then
NEWFILE=${LOCATION}/`echo $each | tr / _`.${DATESUFFIX}
echo -n $each '-' ${NEWFILE}
mv $each ${NEWFILE}
chown -R $THE_USER ${NEWFILE}
echo .
else
echo \$each\ was not found 2
fi
done
if [ \! -z $PS1 ] || [ \! -z $PROMPT ]; then
printf Your trash can has %s and %s inodes\n `du -hcd0
$LOCATION 2/dev/null | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}'` `find $LOCATION|
wc -l`
fi
