What's the ramifications of doing so? It appears everything is still working as normal. How would I run fsck on my root partition, it gets mounted at boot up automatically of course. And as for the other partitions that are automounted by fstab, should I comment out the lines to mount them and then reboot? There must be a better way, I always heard, read, and seen that the only time one needs to reboot bsd is for hardware changes. -- Chip www.wiegand.org ***** Visit my web site - Alternative Operating Systems - MS Windows isn't the only OS in town.
