So, how about > stat'ing /proc/mounts instead? I've seen this suggested several times. Have any of the people suggesting it actually _tried_ it? Hint: it doesn't do what you think. However, actually reading /proc/mounts is probably low enough overhead (since it will usually only be one block), and wouldn't touch the hard disk. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
