Volume Poll Interval = 30; # hopefully 30 minutes Close on Poll = yes; Maximum Open Wait = 1080; # hopefully 18 hours The explanation for using OfflineOnUmount is principally a negative and provides no guidance for a positive use. I have yet to find an explanation of 'TIME' but I have figured out that using something like '3d' means three days but am uncomfortable with the use of an integer by itself as it gives the feeling of being vague. -- Craig White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
