Someone once mentioned that this is due to not using the correct device, although I'm not sure it's that simple. But then if you think that's bad how about nfs. mount a filesystem off any other freebsd machine and then unplug that freebsd machine, you can't unmount that remote system without going through hell - or a power cycle. > > Carnage!! Takes the entire fs mechanism down, i.e. mount hangs, > umount hangs, aaarrrrgggghhh!) Same for nfs. It's not as bad as M$ Windows which can't do anything while formatting a floppy, but it's pretty bad. (Perhaps I have more gripes with FreeBSD than I realised!) Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
