That's called "caching". It does wonders for system responsiveness, but sucks at fast updates to files. If you're willing to wait while the system writes to the floppy, try... /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos noauto,user,sync 0 0 ...in /etc/fstab. I don't know if the "sync" options works with MSDOS filesys, but it's worth a try. Another option is the "sync" command, as in /bin/sync. However, it's a bit heavy-handed because it syncs all mounted partitions. It may be more convenient than unmount+mount. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q.
