You could have found it out by refering to "man mount". :-) > but i have no idea what kind of effects it may have on my server.. i > couldn't find anything but suggestions about not to use this so often.. and > i really need to know why?? cause my bsd server is not allowed to be missed > almost at all.. > > i think that because this -u option is just increasing my permissions in > this case, there won't be a danger for my server. is that true?! There are _few_ side effects that _may_ apply when using the -u option. From the manual: The -u flag indicates that the status of an already mounted file system should be changed. Any of the options discussed above (the -o option) may be changed; also a file system can be changed from read-only to read-write or vice versa. An attempt to change from read-write to read-only will fail if any files on the file system are currently open for writing unless the -f flag is also specified. The set of options is determined by applying the options specified in the argument to -o and finally applying the -r or -w option. So I'd say you should always take care that write operations are finished properly (and so brought to an end). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
