Night before, in OpenBSD 3.3 on my laptop, tried
wiping everything out on my Sandisk compact flash
card, creating a new partition on it to use the whole
disk, & creating a ffs file system on it. Really screwed
it up, to say the least! Tonight, I learned how to use
disklabel to delete the old partition, recreate a new
partition, & then I ran newfs on it & created a new
ffs file system. Now I can use long file names, set
permissions, set ownerships, etc. First thing I did
was create a directory on the card for myself, the
primary user of the laptop, & tar/gunzip all my mail
to there, along with all my personal settings, espe-
cially those for gpg, pinepgp, mail, & ssh. Worked
like a charm! Thank you, Michael W. Lucas, for your
fine book on OpenBSD!
