I'm running 6.2-RELEASE, and I am wondering if using nullfs w/ rw is safe in a production environment? My impression is that ro nullfs is ok, but not rw. Is this still the case? Regards, Rong-En Fan

Granted, I don't do a heavy amount of writing to the mount point but I haven't seen any issues with it whatsoever. -Proto
