cool... thanks for that little tidbit about adding sync to fstab. However, how do I fix it now w/o a restart?<br clear="all"><div>:-)~MIKE~(-:</div>

<br>
</div>Don't remove a disk without umounting the filesystems that live there. If you<br>
do that, you could cause filesystem corruption. This is because writes are<br>
not necessarily done synchronously, so if you unplug a disk without umounting<br>
it, it might have have half of a file written. You could add "sync" to the<br>
fstab line, which will make all writes synchronous, but that'll make the disk<br>
slower.<br>
