Well, Terry's solution wouldn't work on my very trivial system. After all, I have two /usr, two /var, even two /. One of each is chosen when I boot current, and the other when I boot stable. If it can't handle even something that simple, what it can handle? Nothing. The only thing it can handle is mounting from the devices we already know, thus giving us absolutely nothing. I can't swap disks and install a new system, and them mount partitions of the old disk to grab the data. I can't put in a foreign hd to copy something. And I don't even want to think of shared disks. Terry is only interested in one thing: docking his notebook. Honestly, that could be solved with devd alone. _This_ really helps managing server enviroments. -- Daniel C.
