In NetBSD-current and NetBSD 1.0, there is an `async' option to mount(8) that will do that. i.e.: mount -o async /dev/... /mnt You can change an existing mount, too: mount -u -o async / I don't recommend this, but the option is there if you want it. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sun4c, mac68k, pc532, da30.
