actually there is a flag that you can pass to mount to tell the
kernel not to go into block mode and to pass a signal back the the
process that the access failed ... that being under freebsd, i do
not know, however, if there is an equivalent option under linux.

its set up on my workstation at work, which is at work ...
so i could look at it tomorrow =)

yours,

kim
