I think this pointer is related to the "mount early" and "mount late" mechanisms. The distinction can be made with the "late" option in /etc/fstab, and "boot time" ("mount early") is the opposite. ;-) > As I am not interested in using geli I looked in /etc/defaults/rc.conf > for an appropriate setting but could not find anything that could be > used.

A custom rc.d-style script would provide good contron over _when_ the mount operation should take place. If you want to mount something after normal system startup, you can use /etc/rc.local for scripting. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
