I've got to disgree with this one. I'm doing porting work. I yank out all of the directories except /usr/ports itself, using mk.conf. I then also make another partition /usr/ports/mystuff umount /usr/ports/mystuff umount /usr/ports newfs /usr/ports, etc. remount /usr/ports, mkdir /usr/ports/mystuff, remount /usr/ports/mystuff tar xzvf ports.tar.gz into /usr/ports and I can continue on working, without having lost any work I'm still examining. Working with retail equipment at home for a normal desktop. 16 OK Power often fails or hardware fails. Working on a server. Power almost never fails, nor the hardware. At home I run built-in HD, USB flash and USB HD. 16 is no problem with three HD's. I can ro lots of stuff and I need to. I'm not doing any porting at home, only on server hardware. Too tired of reliability issues at home. That's just what I(me)thinks. |-} There be-is-are some very good, cheap, rugged and waterproof USB HD's out there. Very portable(s). Bye, Chris
