You might need it for adding raid array devices and such. But if it's not mounted the static /dev is hidden so you have to jump through hoops to add them.

Then it wouldn't be necessary. -Olaf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
