It's not just a matter of its being ufs2, you also need to have soft-updates enabled for background file-checking. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Good telltale if it is ufs2 is the precense of a .snap directory in the root of the partition. fsck uses this to make a snapshot of the partition so that it can defer the fsck. And yes, could be your pass flag in fstab is set to 1, rather then 2. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Most of the time is spent doing a file system check on a 500GB USB drive with a single UFS partition. I noticed that my var, root, an dtmp partitions all have their checks deferred, which is the desirable behavior as it gets the server back up and running as soon as possible. Is there a way to have the file system check for the partition that resides on the USB drive follow this same behavior? Thanks in advance for any advice. This sounds like the pass column in your /etc/fstab file is wrong. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
