I always just run fsck /dev/blah Let if figure out the fs itself. As for external drives, no I would not ask it to fsck those since most likely they are not set to mount automatically at boot. Those you can easily fsck before mounting them. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
