Using Linux Kernel 2.2.19 Ext2 [Slackware 8.0], I notice that after making major changes or after a *crash* [due to numerous power outages here], at startup filesystem check I will get a "(3% non-contiguous)" message [percentages vary, but are small]. Then at next reboot and file system check it will have been fixed (I assume the absence of said message implies that). -- =ksandre= "Gold is the corpse of value." _CRYPTONOMICON_ by Neal Stephenson ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
