Ummm..... maybe... I think on that system I had disabled disckcheckd, but it's an excellent suggestion for me to check. With respect to diskcheckd, which in general is a neat tool to have around, I think it might be better if it did: open seek read close rather than leaving a disk open anyway. The difference between problems with an open as opposed to problems with a read are worth noting anyway. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
