I don't remember saying something like this, but I may have thought so for a while. Fact is that nobody knows under which circumstances disks are not unmounted cleanly. I *know* that when you fsck under linux, you get a clean disk at next reboot, and if you don't screw up, it stays clean. But when you fsck under Hurd during boot time, it does not end up clean. I am not sure what happens if you e2fsck under Hurd manually (forcing). > So I've made sure that sysvinit is NOT installed and I'm using the hurd > .deb version 19990725. I still have the problem. Not installing sysvinit is not a good idea either, because daemons are not started properly. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
