But that's what I tried to point out. As it is now, the trouble arises from the fact that you actually CAN read/write mount a read/only-floppy. No complaints from the mount command. However, you can't umount it anymore! So you're stuck and it is mounted for-ever! Unless, you take the floppy out, change it to read/write, put it back in the drive and do the umount again. Why does mount not check the read/write of the floppy? And if it doesn't, for some reason, why then all of a sudden umount does check for the read/write thing? Rob. PS: this is with FreeBSD 4.8
