This is one of the reasons that I only ever use MS-DOS-formatted floppies: there's no need to mount them, and all the mucking around that that entails. I just use mtools to talk to them. Perhaps mtools, or a similar toolset that knew how to read and write off-line FFS filesystems, could be hooked to run as mountable file system, amd/nfs-style. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
