I would not have remembered that on my own, but as soon as you said it I did :) An aside, I've always wondered about the selection of column names there, "diskname" and "diskdevice". Very /sbin/dump and whole-file-system centric. As an alternative, might "DLEtag" and "DataLocation" be more descriptive? And the pairing of host and DLEtag be known as the DLEname? Ahh, nevermind, it is just semantics. -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
