Also, ckuethe@ showed me some interesting things can be done with disklabel UID's with scripted auto-mounting. Lastly, some esata enclosures can be very dodgy, particularly if they are powered by USB (typically a "Y" dongle taking two powered USB ports on the system so the disk has enough power to run properly). You should do a *lot* of testing before trusting any esata setup. jcr -- The OpenBSD Journal - http://www.undeadly.org
