Possibly, when /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is run one of the things it does is remount the root filesystem using the regular mount command. I don't know for sure but it may use /etc/fstab at that point (ie with the -o remount option) depending on how it's implimented. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
