Chris, You are correct about a converted, but not yet remounted filesystem. I was basing my response on an assumption that the system had been originally created with EXT3 (not upgraded from EXT2), and/or that the system had been rebooted at least once since the journalling was installed. Your "converted but not yet remounted" scenario was one I hadnt considered. Ken _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
