Alternative to mount_null? Take a hammer and hit your disk repeatedly with it and you might get the same results. Or maybe pull out memory sticks from your machine while it's running. Removing the cpu fan could work too. Sticking long needles under your knee might emulate the sensation. Etc. nullfs never worked. Anything else you experienced can be explained by luck or high resistance to kernel crashes and corrupted data. It's not coming back until it's safe. In the same way as rlogin is not coming back and we're not making xterm setuid root. Don't like it? Then OpenBSD is obviously not for you. //art
