No, it has not. In fact, it is only on PC like hardware that you can reliably share a disk between different mutually competitive operating systems. Most "unix-machines" don't have a concept of what you call partitions, and neither did BSD unix until 386BSD introduced it. Until then: One OS, one disk(-pack|-drive). -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
