I can't tell you why your system thinks the last mount time is in the future - other than your system clock is wrong, resetting, drifting radically ... ? This is the source of your problem, and you should investigate that before disabling the fsck at boot. Though, if you like, you can stop the messages (and stop benefiting from the automatic check) by editing /etc/fstab. The last column for the filesystems in question should be changed to 0 to stop the automatic checks. So, on mine, I would change /dev/dm-0 / xfs defaults 0 1 to /dev/dm-0 / xfs defaults 0 0 hth, Eli -- Eli Heady Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] 412-621-4303x122 SEEGRID Corporation _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
