I am still interested in the subject and hope to one day find enough free time to actually create something usable. Adfs was an experiment and it showed that it couldn't be done the way I wanted it. It was supposed to be rsync assisted by kqueue file events to detect changes but, among other things, change detection isn't a very demanding part of rsyncing files. In short, rsync in cron would do much better. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
