Check that you don't have any automount processes running, NFS server is down, and no other open files. You can also try remounting /home as ro then fsck'ing the device. E.g.: mount -o remount,ro /mnt/home -- The Digital Hermit Unix and Linux Solutions http://www.digitalhermit.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]
