I was doing some work copying the 8.3 srvd local for rm and noticed some stuff
1) There is 28 Meg of .unstripped programs. It might be prudent (especially
if the amount of unstripped programs for debugging will grow) to make a
seperate section of the srvd in subvolume for these files. This way we don't
need to replicate the unstripped versions of things all over, but they are
available in an 'obvious' place if needed.
2) What is the criteria for things in .deleted? I thought it was because long
running programs (like emacs, zwgc, etc) tended to die when the binaries
changed out from under them. If that is the case why are the lp* commands
there? They are not exactly 'persistant' commands and in the case of lpq and
lprm there is no danger of losing data if they crash.
