The system doesn't care if /dev/da0c for example, is removable or not when the mount or umount commands are issued. All it knows is to use the driver specified for /dev/da0c. The drive might care if it is removable media, but the system pretty much doesn't care. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
