Hmm, why the 1 2 at the end? Why I just replied /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat vfat defaults was that I thought defaulting to 0 0 would be correct, under the assumption that a) dump only examines ext2 filesystems b) There is no (ie I don't have installed :-) ) a fsck.vfat command. Could David, or some other enlightened member explain this filesystem magic to me. I guess things are moving to fast for an old timer like me to keep up. sigh!! cheers Lawrence -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
