A reboot is OK, but since I don't have console access, single user mode is out of the question. I tried a "tunefs -n enable /" while logged in via SSH and it gave me the following, but it didn't work: tunefs: soft updates set tunefs: cannot open /dev/ad0s1a: Device busy Any help would be kindly appreciated..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Faxes delivered directly to any email address, new to mBox!
