> (ufs is unix filesystems, isn't it ?) On the few occasions when I've seen it expanded (usually in Sun documentation - my impression is that the name came to BSD from Sun), the U has been expanded to User.
However, regardless of the expansion, the name has come to refer to what is perhaps more properly called FFS, and I think using the "ufs" name as part of something that is filesystem-independent is a mistake. If nothing else, it will confuse humans. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
