Well, /etc/mtab can indeed be wrong if someone wants to. However, /proc/mounts is always correct, I believe, because it's the kernel's view of what's mounted. P.S. Am I the only one who's been getting every message on this list twice, in the last couple of days, because of some specific computer reposting each message? (see the headers of the double messages to see what I meen. Learning from past mistakes I won't hint here who might be at fault). -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Jun 17 2003, 17 Sivan 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |All those who believe in psychokinesis, http://nadav.harel.org.il |raise my hand. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
