Not from the coreutils side, no. My assumption is that it's some sort of low-level system bug. But we haven't heard from the low-level guys (whom you probably should be talking to). > The simple > ls /media/USB_DISK >/dev/null; df /media/USB_DISK > example is not sufficient to get df to report something real. How about "ls /media/USB_DISK/no/such/file >/dev/null 2>&1"? The idea is to ask a question of the file system that requires that it actually be mounted. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
