according to the mount manpage in stable: -f Causes everything to be done except for the actual system call; if it's not obvious, this ``fakes'' mounting the file system. This option is useful in conjunction with the -v flag to determine what the mount command is trying to do. It can also be used to add entries for devices that were mounted ear� lier with the -n option. that tells me that -f is just a simulation of the mount, it doesn't actually do anything. so it should be safe, but it shouldn't change the state of the filesystem. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
