3550 - 12.1(22)EA1 - multiple-fs

Hi,

Recently upgraded a 3550 to 12.1(22)EA1 and I see new file in the flash
called "multiple-fs" which causes config oscillation.
Any idea what it's for, and how to stop it from causing changes (beside
filtering the line) ?

can you 'more' the file? i dont know what it is. does the size change
or just the date?

asp, can we re-visit the time/space filtering? maybe we can come up with
some regexes to make file names that we want unfiltered and filter the
time and size from the remaining.

I should mention 2 more things:
1. I am running rancid 2.2.2
2. I currently use a custom changes to ShowFlash routine that filters
following files on Catalyst devices:
/config\.te?xt|vlan\.dat|snmpengineid|private-config/

So I guess this is no new problem, only new file :(
I guess I should add it to the list.

Tell me if there is smarter solution.

Thanks
