- Strange, I have updated to NetBSD1.1 and all my filesystems have been
- updated too.
- BFFS still works like a charm, you just can't write to the newer file
- systems without destroying them. (I did a "Snapshot all" once with all
- my Unix partitions mounted -- took more than half a day to get the
- damage fixed)
-
- Just make sure to get the latest Version of BFFS (I think it is 1.41)
- It is a read only version, so you are safe.
