Alternatively, upgrade to system 6.0.4 or 6.0.5, as finders 6.1.4 and 6.1.5 work correctly with the DM without patching. I can mount and unmount SCSI partitions as I wish. The BIG problem is you will have to up the maximum number of files open at once, since the DM opens TWO files for each partition instead of one. ============================================================================= Steve Bollinger ____/| 909 Church St. Apt C \ o.O| Ann Arbor, Mi. 48104 =(_)= (313)-662-4073 -home (313)-763-3070 -work U billkatt@caen.engin.umich.edu -ACK ACK ACK ACK!
