Local means that the fs originates on the local machine. I think you should be able to call getvfsbyname() and check the flags in the resulting vfsconf struct for VFCF_SYNTHETIC, but I'm not sure how reliable that is. I'm pretty sure devfs is ok, but procfs might not be? Good luck. -- Chad David davidc@acns.ab.ca ACNS Inc.
