Winston, Yes, that's essentially what we did with our file system on the Solaris boxes so it's backward compatible with the old AP-20s. Make sure you propagate that custom vfstab file when you build up a new box. Duc -- Duc M. Do Dow Corning Corp.

Will someone please comment on the validity of this procedure before I get so far into this hole that I can never dig myself out? Retarget /usr/local to /opt/ulocal a) cp -r /usr/local/* /opt/ulocal #Probably should have done "cp -R ..." b) Added line to /etc/vfstab --> "/opt/ulocal/ - /usr/local lofs - yes -" c) renamed /usr/local to /usr/local.orig d) mkdir /usr/local e) reboot The idea is to make /usr/local really refer to /opt/ulocal (where I have lots of space) Winston Jenks Technical Director, Cape Software, Inc. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service.
