Yes, this is a good point. The advantage I see in geom_mirror is that it fits into the GEOM framework and doesn't take a lot to set up. > If there's a good reason ccd(4) is harder to fix than geom_mirror, then > you might want to talk to phk about rewriting geom_ccd based on > geom_mirror.

I just wanted to play around and do something useful; furthermore I learned a real lot about GEOM internals. regards, le -- Lukas Ertl eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UNIX Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Vienna University Computer Center Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 University of Vienna http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
