Set rc_hotplug to you said automatic hotplugging; is that something else? !net.* to disable network hotplugging, and add net.lo back to the boot thanks Neil, speeds up the boot process a lot. May I ask where you got that? It's not in man rc.conf. mw

The only reason I brought up a desktop system is that I've found Ubuntu to be a very reliable distro for finding out which *kernel modules* are actually needed - because it does convenient automagic stuff and does it right. The fact that it's aligned around desktop users is of no significance here, but looking back, it would be easy to miss that bit. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

It was where you said I also find in general that rescue systems are not very good at these desktopy things, and automagic SD card hotplugging is very much something driven by desktop usage. This isn't about hotplugging or mounting the card, which is very desktopy, it stays in place,but hotplugging/autoloading the driver for the card slot. -- Neil Bothwick Everybody needs a little love sometime; stop hacking and fall in love! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Try by all means, I just think YMMV. Except Maxim doesn't want automatic hotplugging, he wants to mount the LV from init scripts. Going cuckoo here @!#. I said it was fixed. I uncommented the rc_hotplug line in rc.conf and rebooted and it worked! The volumes were found and mounted. Fantasia! Now I rebooted again having tried to shut of dhcpcd, using rc-update del net.lo because I'd rather do that manually, but not only do the volumes not mount, dhcpcd is still running and taking its own sweet time finding out there is no net service available at this location unless it involves a phone line. Guess you're right, I don't want hotplugging. Another strangeness: under init.d the two links depscan.sh and runscript.sh came up as broken(flashing red) when the volumes WERE mounted and now that they ARE NOT mounted the links are intact. Defies logic :-(
