There's no such thing. <...> > Someone else probably better understands what "auto" in fstab is > supposed to do. The "auto/noauto" option is used to tell `mount -a` if the filesystem should be mounted automatically. The typical line for a CD/DVD device that isn't needed at boot is something like: /dev/device /mountpoint cd9660 ro,noauto > P.S. Can someone comment on why the "rw" option is better > here than "ro"? It's not, you should use "ro" for CD/DVD drives. The mounted filesystems on these drives can't be written to even if the media itself is writeable. In FreeBSD, CD/DVD writing is done by writing directly to the device. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
