I tried this out on my 7300, but I have no idea what the correct answer is. At least there aren't any nul's or soh's. Here's the output for a few of my partitions: $ ./ofpath /dev/sdc6 /bandit/gc/53c94/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6 $ ./ofpath /dev/sda5 /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:5 $ ./ofpath /dev/sdb3 /bandit/gc/mesh/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3 /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are internal drives, while /dev/sdc is an external (ran out of room inside...), so maybe that's why it has a different looking ofpath? -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
