Only if you have them defined in /etc/fstab The FreeBSD sysinstall writes the ones it creates in to the /etc/fstab file, but if you create others you have to put entries there for the ones you create - or always do the mounts by hand. > If I have information in /usr/info.

Are you trying to mount from one machine to another? For that, study up on NFS mounting. If they are both on the same machine, only one is running. The other would just have stuff sitting on it. You need to study mount(8) and fstab(5) and related things. ////jerry > > -- > Best Regards, Denis. > >
