Strange. I have not really seen this behaviouron RHEL3. I have a few

reboot (that too because initializing theRAID controllers takes time).
Well, I dont have FC3 installed right now in my
lab to simulate this scenario. FC4 however boots
very fast. fsck doesn't exceed a second on a hard
reboot (where / partition is about 33 GB). So, I
must be wrong in my assumption about *most*
distributions today :-)
Just that I remember waiting at the fsck's progress
bar on previous versions of FC (and RH9) and on
Slackware 10.1 with ext3 filesystem after a hard
reboot.
Yet, I still recommend having separate partitions
for most top-level directories on a desktop
(as suggested by others and myself in this thread)
for other benefits.
