Actually, the existing behavior is rather horrible. If you forget to specify ro for a read-only floppy, mount will succeed, but the kernel will keep complaining.

Which, sometimes, requires use of duct tape... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
