That way I can keep all the src files opened in gedit or bluefish, this is pretty convenient. Only one minor thing: No file corruption should be possible, if the root-fs is ZFS (no matter if on SXCE or OSyyyy.mm), because ZFS is a transactional file system, not simply a journal fs where it can always happen, that the log cannot be rolled back. So it should be save from file corruption itself (except for boot_archive related interruptions if that is currently being re-created while the crash happens). Even on single disk configs. -- %martin _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
