hi all, i'm trying to move from freebsd to nanobsd on my server.. so i have a ro partition.. but there are few times i have to upgrade my binary files on this bsd server, so i need to change my ro partition to a rw one during upgrade phase.. via googling, i found out that i can use "mount -u" on the mentioned device, and then after doing whatsoever needed, when i restart my server the ro permission will be back via applying old fstab.. i tested this method and it was ok for my need :) but i have no idea what kind of effects it may have on my server.. i couldn't find anything but suggestions about not to use this so often.. and i really need to know why?? cause my bsd server is not allowed to be missed almost at all.. i think that because this -u option is just increasing my permissions in this case, there won't be a danger for my server. is that true?! really waiting for your points on this case. special thanks in advance, takCoder
