If by "direct access" you mean opening the disk for writing, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, fsck does use direct access. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only possible way to write to a disk in securelevel 2 is by mounting it and modifying the filesystem on it. And you can't fix a filesystem without a more direct way of accessing it. > > Cheers, > > Gábor Kövesdán - James Cook [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
