    restart fstab in FreeBSD

    estart fstab
    Hello all, I am wanting to know a way to restart the drive mountings. When I edit the fstab file I have to reboot for the changes to take effect?

    Is there a command to restart the drive mounting process?

    P.S: i think if i do sudo mount -a, this will should do the trick, however, when i did this it gave me an error message saying, permission denied"[tcp] operations:/var/log/ehds/combinedServerLogs: Permission denied"
    all the permissions for the mount folders are set to true.

    P.S 2:# in case you guys need more info here you go. Please help as i am completly stuck!

    and

    usage: fdisk [-BIaipstu] [-b bootcode] [-1234] [disk]
    fdisk -f configfile [-itv] [disk]

    devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
    /dev/da0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
    operations:/usr/guests/src on /usr/src (nfs)
    /dev/da1s1d on /clients (ufs, local, soft-updates)
    operations:/usr/ports on /usr/ports (nfs)
    Thanks

    Sorry, but I'm not sure what's going on. Try posting to the FreeBSD mailing lists.
