I have understood from all sides the union mount implementation was bad and buggy, so no problem with that. My question is: What are the options for a pretty complete OpenBSD boot-cd without layered mounts? (My question is not about an "incomplete" OpenBSD system with just firewall or other router functionality.) +++chefren Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from smtp17.wxs.nl ([195.121.5.205]) by po09.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.02 (built Oct 21 2004)) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 26 May 2005 07:28:59 +0200 (MEST) Received: from shear.ucar.edu (shear.ucar.edu [192.43.244.163]) by smtp17.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 26 May 2005 07:28:59 +0200 (CEST) Received: from openbsd.org (localhost.ucar.edu [127.0.0.1]) by shear.ucar.edu (8.13.3/8.13.4) with ESMTP id j4Q5Bk3p022048 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 25 May 2005 23:23:26 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.codefusionis.com (ns.codefusionis.com [208.33.29.188]) by shear.ucar.edu (8.13.3/8.13.3) with SMTP id j4Q5AW5e012924 for <misc@openbsd.org>; Wed, 25 May 2005 23:10:32 -0600 (MDT) Received: (qmail 2506 invoked by uid 1049); Thu, 26 May 2005 05:16:55 +0000 Received: from localhost ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by localhost with SMTP; Thu, 26 May 2005 05:16:55 +0000 Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 01:16:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Ted Unangst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: notice: layered mounts are gone Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: misc@openbsd.org Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Precedence: list X-Loop: misc@openbsd.org Original-recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] null and union mounts have been deleted. if you are using them and tracking current, you will have pain when you reboot. -- quit whining you haven't done anything wrong because frankly you haven't done much of anything Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from smtp18.wxs.nl ([195.121.5.206]) by po09.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.02 (built Oct 21 2004)) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 27 May 2005 02:00:26 +0200 (MEST) Received: from shear.ucar.edu (shear.ucar.edu [192.43.244.163]) by smtp18.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)) with ESMTP id <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 27 May 2005 02:00:26 +0200 (CEST) Received: from openbsd.org (localhost.ucar.edu [127.0.0.1]) by shear.ucar.edu (8.13.3/8.13.4) with ESMTP id j4QNaGu8010794; Thu, 26 May 2005 17:36:16 -0600 (MDT) Received: from wproxy.gmail.com (wproxy.gmail.com [64.233.184.199]) by shear.ucar.edu (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id j4QNWojL001469 for <misc@openbsd.org>; Thu, 26 May 2005 17:32:50 -0600 (MDT) Received: by wproxy.gmail.com with SMTP id 57so1234677wri for <misc@openbsd.org>; Thu, 26 May 2005 16:32:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.54.37.8 with SMTP id k8mr1244865wrk; Thu, 26 May 2005 16:32:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.54.72.4 with HTTP; Thu, 26 May 2005 16:32:45 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 17:32:45 -0600 From: Chris Kuethe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: notice: layered mounts are gone In-reply-to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: kami petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: misc@openbsd.org Reply-to: Chris Kuethe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-version: 1.0 X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by shear.ucar.edu id j4QNWpjL012057 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Precedence: list X-Loop: misc@openbsd.org DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=beta; d=gmail.com; h=received:message-id:date:from:reply-to:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; b=UhuFoEuMc4vvzCt92sSyhEMeeWnKvT6lER95CVU/kcuW0ZP3QvoGWPSWYJHWOMUg1PJCbRFicTqVdUCdfGHIoilqkmo/ELWdaqLDBzo+UjGqC6q7/bojKhBE2vlcugoXgxu+YAyfx0tHmx7P4/h9gmuonwswgj7OewGaD5FMMuI= References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Original-recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] On 5/26/05, kami petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > null and union mounts have been deleted. > > cool. why?
