Here's a trick that can help out, if you're running commands, especially as root and things aren't working out, try running 'dmesg' after the command to see if the kernel complained about anything. I'm 99% sure that you'd see: WARNING: R/W mount of /dev/wd3s1e denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck Near the end of the kernel log, you'll find a lot of other situations where this can really help. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
