I think it's normal. The messages may vary with the driver/kernel. On kernel 3.8.3-LFS-7.3, I have: [ 3.580354] EXT3-fs (sda16): recovery required on readonly filesystem [ 3.580494] EXT3-fs (sda16): write access will be enabled during recovery [ 5.769971] EXT3-fs (sda16): recovery complete [ 5.770128] EXT3-fs (sda16): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode but not the INFO part of the statement. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
