> That's right, thank you! But why this simple detail isn't in the manpage?? I agree it's not crystal clear there, but somehow it's mentioned. The manpages says that vnconfig "configures and enables vnode pseudo disk devices", and that "the first form of the command will associate the special file with the regular file allowing the latter to be accessed as though it were a disk." To my understanding, it's saying that you need to both configure and then enable the special <-> regular files "link", thus you should both "unconfigure" and disable that when finished. But once again, it does not clearly states that you *should* unconfigure it after finished using the device. Fred -- "All parts should go together without forcing.
