I'm no REAL ADMIN - but I have a FreeBSD server box for my home LAN:

Anyway : I was new to FreeBSD - and had just about set it up EXACTLY as wanted; after much tinkering! I was then trying to update my fstab to include my floppy drive. Unfortunately, I did the stupid thing of "echo"ing the details in, sorta like:
Code:
echo /dev/fd0.1440 msdos /floppy rw,noauto 0 0 > /etc/fstab

Experts - can you spot the mistake? Yep, only 1 '>' - so when I rebooted, no drives mounted- ARRRGGGHHHH!

Fortunately, I inserted the boot "fixit" cd and edited the file after mounting the correct partition! My heart has NEVER beated so fast!

PTHREAD_DETACH(3)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						 PTHREAD_DETACH(3)

NAME
pthread_detach - detach a thread SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_detach(pthread_t thread); Compile and link with -pthread. DESCRIPTION
The pthread_detach() function marks the thread identified by thread as detached. When a detached thread terminates, its resources are automatically released back to the system without the need for another thread to join with the terminated thread. Attempting to detach an already detached thread results in unspecified behavior. RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_detach() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number. ERRORS
EINVAL thread is not a joinable thread. ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found. CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001. NOTES
Once a thread has been detached, it can't be joined with pthread_join(3) or be made joinable again. A new thread can be created in a detached state using pthread_attr_setdetachstate(3) to set the detached attribute of the attr argument of pthread_create(3). The detached attribute merely determines the behavior of the system when the thread terminates; it does not prevent the thread from being terminated if the process terminates using exit(3) (or equivalently, if the main thread returns). Either pthread_join(3) or pthread_detach() should be called for each thread that an application creates, so that system resources for the thread can be released. (But note that the resources of all threads are freed when the process terminates.) EXAMPLE
The following statement detaches the calling thread: pthread_detach(pthread_self()); SEE ALSO
pthread_attr_setdetachstate(3), pthread_cancel(3), pthread_create(3), pthread_exit(3), pthread_join(3), pthreads(7) COLOPHON
