Why do I have to cd to a new device before it mounts? Is there some way of getting ride of this? It happens to me when my harddrive mounts using binddrivers, all of the partitions are not mounted until I 'cd' to them. Eric A. Duesing

You just have to use them somehow. The first dir, or file transfer, etc, activates it, unless it's a SCSI hard drive under OS 2.0 where it automounts. -Joseph Hillenburg UUCP: ...iuvax!valnet!joseph ARPA: valnet!joseph@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu INET: joseph@valnet.UUCP
