If I reboot, I *may* loose the firewall completely, depending on what the drive does. The only safe thing is to build another firewall before rebooting the current firewall (then see if fsck will fix it)....... Either way, once I build a new firewall, I'm going to copy it to CF and be done with these old ide drives......... thx James -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
