A just question! :-) Well, let's say that my users have really no idea about what Unix is... (and I'm not at their office every day.) What this will be for is to make a backup every day on the external firewire disk and then take the disk home in case of burglary or fire. Very much like a tape backup but 20 times cheaper if you have a lot of data. In Linux (2.4.x kernel) and Windows it's possible to simply disconnect the drive and put it in a bag. I wanted to know if this is possible in FreeBSD as well. I suppose I could simply put a umount command after the backup is done as well. But it would be more "modern" to simply disconnect it if you know what I mean. >Mathias, > >why would you remove the drive before umounting it? > >Marc > > >
