This is intentional. reiserfsck was never intended to be run automatically. The symlink is there to keep the startup scripts happy. Fixing this link would defeat the purpose of reiserfs and that is to have a journaling file system that does not require a fsck on boot up. If you have any corruption you should boot off a rescue disk and repair it by hand. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
