Re: Some improvements to rm(1)

At a first thought, it seems to raise more questions than it resolves. I was cleaning up a system a year ago and I had an rm -rf traverse into a production NFS mountpoint.. oops. I only realized it when it was taking longer than I expected so I stopped it to investigate. Had to restore a bunch of data from backups. Thank you for proposing the patch, I hope it gets committed.

We're starting to use SSDs for boot drives in our freebsd boxes. We'd like to have /var on a memory backed FS, but losing the package database on every reboot is troublesome.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but this is something that I've been looking for for a long time as well.

Re: Problem with jails after upgrading to 6.1-STABLE

chmod features: +RW?
Hey, I searched the archives, but haven't seen anything regarding this. I am interested in a feature addition to chmod for the equivalent of +X (Add x bit only if it's a dir), except for read and write (R and W?). I'm not sure how useful W would be - but R would be quite useful for allowing the reading and traversing of dirs without giving read permission to the contents of the dirs. I know you can do this with a find - that's what I've done in the past. I'm just wondering if this have been discussed, if it's a horrible idea, etc. If it's a good idea, I'll gladly write a patch - just let me know who to send it to. If this is the wrong mailing list, let me know that too. thanks, dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
