If I wait a long time after the last access to the device, I think gam gives up on monitoring it, but that may link to other things like the number of directories it monitors. Wish there was some way to tell gam to just let go of a device/directory wot eh unmount would always work. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
