Note the OP's use of the word "snapshot". I think he is right!

However, I do think snapshots could be used for exactly this. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
