Add 'ro' to the 'options' portion of the applicable line. To do as you suggest, I have to log out hda6 and reboot into hda8, otherwise mount won't umount hda6 because it's busy. Won't the reboot worse the damage? Thanks. Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
