Better yet, don't mount it at all, if you can avoid it. (You can't avoid it for the root file system unless you IPL a starter kernel and initrd.) Just fsck the file system while it is unmounted.

You mounted read/write. Never fsck a mounted filesystem, or one that is mounted read-write. Next time, mount / read-only: mount -o remount,ro / . Then do a fsck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
