Any FS that shares code with an existing FS will not flush out the full list of problems associated with writing a new FS in the context of a FreeBSD system. For that reason, any UFS based system, including but not limited to FFS, LFS, EXT2FS, etc., is probably not a good example to use for an educational project. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
