Thanks. I had looked at that a few times and thought it needed updated, but I think it hadn't reached my pain threshold yet[1], so I hadn't yet posted about it. Glad it reached someone's pain threshold. =:^) --- [1] Pain threshold: Or more like, I was always doing something else at the time, which is probably everybody else's excuse too. But by contrast it can be noted that I posted right away when I noticed the mkfs.btrfs manpage totally lost raid1 mode with one update, because I use it, regardless of what else I was doing. I guess that must have hit my pain threshold... -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
