Does any kernel supported by Debian supply the functionally needed for coreutils to implement this? I don't think so. In which case there isn't anything coreutils in Debian can do about it. Because GNU coreutils is portable to other systems and one of the developers works closely with Solaris I suggest that you post your suggestion in the upstream mailing list. It is possible this would get implemented in the upstream sources and then it would be available in Debian naturally when a kernel that would support it became available. bug-coreutils@gnu.org Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
