C’mon!
Not those VIFS as in Virtual InterFaces, like NetApp systems do. Leopard’s vifs is a rather dorky unix command, which is to be used to edit the /etc/fstab file.
DESCRIPTION
The vifs utility simply locks the fstab file before invoking an editor on it. This is important to
facilitate the modification of fstab by automated tools and system management software.
Always use vifs to edit fstab, instead of invoking an editor directly.
OK, so what is this command doing ?
sh-3.2# strings /usr/sbin/vifs
# Warning - this file should only be modified with vifs(8)
# Failure to do so is unsupported and may be destructive.
usage: vifs
need to run as root
/etc/fstab

Give me a freakin’ break. Is this how the Apple developers are spending the iPOD dollars ? If they are looking for work, let me send them a list of things to fix..
