This is only an issue legacy systems, systems that have had their disks be installed on faster systems and systems which have been cloned from older systems (dump | restore). There's something to be said about an O/S that doesn't need to be re-imaged every hardware/software upgrade or migration. It's also an issue for systems which have a small local root/ramdisk, and mount /usr via NFS. I managed a setup like this (not FreeBSD) once. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <cy.schub...@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <c...@freebsd.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
