sorry, should have been more specific with a patch. but i dont have the sources anywhere near at the moment. i meant mount_vnd(8): # Example for automatically configuring a vnd device on startup echo "configuring vnd devices:" mount /dev/svnd0c - fsck -p /dev/svnd0a + fsck -p /dev/rsvnd0a mount /mnt -f -- i left my body to science but i'm afraid they turned it down.
