(This amounts to storing relatively short symlinks in the inode so they're faster to dereference and don't use a fragment.) I have no idea whether or not FreeBSD has incorporated this code. We have. Stick `options FASTLINKS' in your kernel to enable these by default. Jordan -- Jordan K. Hubbard FreeBSD core team Electric Bivalves Anonymous On the net, no one can hear you scream.
