Wait -- auto only works if the module has already been loaded? It doesn't work if the module is available (but not loaded)? I hadn't realized that, but it could explain a number of weirdnesses I've had with auto. Annoying, though. What about if you put the type in /etc/filesystems, but don't have the module loaded? -- monique Ask smart questions, get good answers: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
