I think mount -a will only try to mount filesystems that are not already mounted. -a, --all Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab. [...] remount Attempt to remount an already-mounted filesystem. This is commonly used to change the mount flags for a filesystem, especially to make a readonly filesystem writeable. > At this point I have that just "happy to be walking away" > feeling about the whole incident. +1 :-) Glad to hear you survived.. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator Melbourne Bioinformatics - The University of Melbourne Email: sam...@unimelb.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
