Hello,
Seems to me like I have a lot of potentially silly questions lately..
Anyway:
This is something I just noticed. Maybe it's nothing, but I wonder anyway:

I mount my win2k harddisks (2 partitions) as msdos/fat32 filesystems in 
/mnt/win2k and /mnt/win2kdata (both rw).

here's the output of 'ls /mnt':
total 23
drwxr-xr-x   5 root  wheel  -      512 Nov  1 23:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel  -      512 Oct 24 02:03 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  -      512 Feb  5  2001 floppy/
drwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  arch  4096 Jan  1  1980 win2k/
drwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  arch 16384 Jan  1  1980 win2kdata/
 				       ^^^^^^^^^^^^	
When I unmount win2k and win2kdata ls shows the following:
total 5
drwxr-xr-x   5 root  wheel  - 512 Nov  1 23:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel  - 512 Oct 24 02:03 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  - 512 Feb  5  2001 floppy/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  - 512 Nov  1 23:19 win2k/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  - 512 Nov  1 23:19 win2kdata/
				  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Same happens when I mount a floppy with msdos fs. It doesn't matter
btw if the partitions are mounted via fstab or manually.

So what's the deal with that? I'm sure I am missing something, would 
someone be so kind as to explain it to me? I can't set any permissions
on the mounted filesystems either...

Has it something to do with the 'arch' flag? I can't remove that flag 
either.

buh.

Thanks and regards
