Yes, it will be the same. anay removable media (at least the ones that end up being mounted) will behave this way, AFAIK. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. > actually as far i know usb is intented to have hotswap devices. > anyway, i'm just a user, and hearing and advice: "don't do that" it > is VERY unprofessional I agree. However, this is the status quo right now, and has been for at least 4 years. There is no orher workaround - we (FreeBSD users) will have to live with this until developers who can fix this can free up enough time to do so. Note: am not blaming any developers for the sad state we're in - after all, this is a volunteer project. > i can understand that it can be difficult, i'm a programmer too, but > anyway just to sat don';t do that is not at least nice :) > > > > If you can't learn to live with this workaround, please do not use > > removable mass storage devices with FreeBSD. > > > > don't be so mean :) No mean-nesss was intended, just trying to tell you in very clear terms what the state of this problem is. Yes, it is harsh, but we will have to live with it for now. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
