Yeah! I'll be writing a blog post about it soon but ... that's basically it. Turns out they're still maintained and pretty amazing for moving things around on UFS. oh nice please post the link here when it's up I was able to collapse 4 filesystems down to one and also encrypt the base system really easily...and quickly! i'd like to read it Yeah will do. Plan to write it this weekend. :) wow nice :) Yeah I was planning to have to spend a whole day doing it but it took ... maybe 30 minutes? rad
