I don't understand either. Have you checked /var/log/syslog for drive errors and installed smartmontools and checked that too? Something caused all these errors. Do subsequent reboots work fine? What about a shutdown -rF when a fsck is forced, are there any errors? Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
