As I mentioned earlier I remember it working during the 5.3 era on Stable, at some point it worked. I even remember removing my CD-Rom drive from my Thinkpad without running atacontrol detach. The system just took it and the drive just continued working after I put it back in. Anyway, is there a way to convince the kernel that removable devices are NFS mounts? I suppose there'd be an additional layer required that clusters file operations to consistent atomic operations similar to NFS. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
