There is no problem, you simply reached the maximal mount count or exceeded the time between checks. It is checking them every once in a while to make sure that they are OK. Read the manpage for tune2fs if you want to adjust these paramaters. > And if I install a new distro over this Mandrake 9.0 system, and format > /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda8, will the problems disappear? No, this is a feature not a bug. You could disable it, but I reccomend you don't. Set them to values with a large "least common multiple", probably by setting each partition to check after a diffrent, prime number of mounts. Try some of these values, with smaller values on smaller partitions. 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37 _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
