Hi, This is probably simple, but google doesn't have much on it.
If, on a FAT filesystem, I do: #mkfifo pipe I get "mkfifo: pipe: Invalid Argument" If I cd up to / and try again: #mkfifo pipe #ls -L pipe* prw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Apr 17 09:15 pipe I'm guessing pipes can't be made on FAT systems, but why not? And where is the source for mkfifo so that I could make it less cryptic? According to whence it's in /sbin but ls /usr/src/sbin | grep mk only shows "mknod". -Nick
