The only way to get the permissions correct is to mount the RAM slice without '-p' and '-w' and then chown/chmod them afterwords. Try the following: 1. substitute `mfs' in fstab with `foo' 2. ln -s /bin/echo /sbin/mount_foo 3. mount /MIMEDefang ... hmmz man fstab: : Each file system is described on a separate line; fields on each line are : separated by tabs or spaces. Hope this will help.
