Oops, yes sorry about that. I believe there was some kind of power glink, but I fsck'ed -f many times, and the drive is a Quantum, I even used the -c option to check for bad blocks, and it said zero bad blocks, since I did this from a rescue disc with all partitions unmounted, I wonder if it did not write something to some file telling fsck for bootup that it was actually repaired or something? I am not sure how that works. I hope it is not the drive, it is a Quantum :( On Saturday 15 September 2001 08:49 am, so spoke etharp: > are you the "by the way " subjuct line? helps when following a thread if > the subject line is not changed to much. where the file systems mounted > when you last fsked them? could be time to purchase a new ....hard drive? > mother board?
