Angelo: Converting an existing ext2 filesystem to ext3 is pretty simple. Open up a terminal as root and type: tune2fs -j /dev/hda5 to set up the journalling. Now open up /etc/fstab in whatever editor, and edit the appropriate device(s) to show ext3 in place of ext2: dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 Exit and save. That's it. This _should_ stop the mandatory file checks. If it doesn't, you may have a problem. -- cmg
