Well yes, but if you're paranoid (like me) when using writable, removable drives, you'd also use that. ;) Wala lang, nakasanayan lang na gumamit ng sync command kasi dati mga coumter na ginagamit ko walang UPS, kaya kung may important na kailangan ma-write kaagad sa hard disk, sync kaagad kasi baka mag-brown-out. ;) > I can't reproduce the errors right now, but they were pertaining to the > device numbers.

Well, like dido said, it's probably just a problem of the kernel module is still looking for the drive. Maybe you want to do a 'sync && umount && modprobe -r <kernel module>' instead. ;) -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
