It caused the startup process to halt, dropping me to a shell prompt as it tried to fsck the volume. Wasn't happy proceeding until I fed the drive a disk. In my environment this is A Bad Thing; there may be a disk in there or not, I need the freaking server to come up and start running regardless. I checked my fstab, and the cdroms are listed thusly: /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,auto 0 0 /dev/acd1c /cdrom1 cd9660 ro,auto 0 0 Looking at the man page, the last column indicates the fsck type, and 0 is supposed to mean that the device doesn't need to be checked during startup. Am I doing something wrong, or is something broken? 4.6.2-STABLE, BTW. KeS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
