I was just thinking though. do you know of a Live CD that has XFS utilities on it? From what I've seen, I've had to install XFS utilities after installing the OS, which I don't think one can do with a live CD. I can look, but if you know of one, that would probably save some digging. thanks, Eli _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
