Mark, Someone just wrote a great article on 'Mounting Other Filesystems' here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/07/05/FreeBSD_Basics.html Very good site... By the way, is it okay to have a comma between your r and w? Most of the examples I have seen has those two characters together.

Good questions Bob. Since I have an ata system, now supported in FBSD 4.0, this would be the command line syntax before I modified /etc/fstab: mount_msdos /dev/afd0s4 /zip As I understand "s4" denotes the entire disk just like "c" does for hard drives (it didn't mount at all without it). I also mount to /zip obviously. Here's the line in /etc/fstab for your review: /dev/afd0s4 msdos /zip noauto,r,w 0 0 I agree that once mounted, the OS should not allow the disk to eject, but I can. This makes me wonder if it mounted correctly in the first place, but I can perform any file operation I want to once mounted. Needless to say, it doesn't recognize it when I eject a disk and put another one in.
