What do you think?? Ric Certainly if it were mounted when writing to the underlying raw device I would expect that would really confuse the kernel about the mount point. If it were mounted read-only that would be the best case. But if the file system were trying to update structures then I would expect that would corrupt the iso image written to the raw device. Hopefully it wouldn't boot as opposed to booting but having strange errors later. Bob
