Rather than yet another non-standard option, how about using the heuristic that if a filesystem doesn't have to be fsck'ed, it's okay for the mount to fail? The theory being that a fs which must be fsck'ed is more critical than one which does not. Both the CDROM filesystems and the DOS filesystems fit this heuristic. Alternatively, if we must add an option, I like the OSF retry option previously mentioned. It's obviously general enough to be useful for other filesystem typess like nfs. Jeffrey
