When I reboot to multi user mode I have to change it back. Someone must know where this comes from. Is this also the same reason I cannot write to my msdos slice even though it is mounted rw??? # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s2e /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s2f /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1 /win msdos rw 0 0 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 Just to add....here is the output of /sbin/mount /dev/ad0s2a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 5 async 147, reads: sync 233 async 8) /dev/ad0s2e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates, writes: sync 2 async 383, reads: sync 4980 async 50) /dev/ad0s2f on /var (ufs, local, writes: sync 161 async 328, reads: sync 66 async 14) /dev/ad0s1 on /win (msdos, local, reads: sync 1 async 0) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) I think there is a big conflict between what is in fstab and this output... I need to correct this. Thanks -wash To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
