I thought that 'c' is for the whole space used by BSD and 'd' is for : the whole space on the disk. If I'm right, than it should be better not : to use these partitions as filesystems... And right you are, never ever ever (or at least until we eliminate the overloaded d partition) use partition c or d for a files system, it will cause you headaches to no end! Shoot, I read the original posting a few days ago and never noticed that the person was using partition c, whoops... :-) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@agora.rain.com Accurate Automation Company All opinions belong to me and my company!
