Check forced' then something like '17.1% non-contiguous' then a long delay. Then one of two things, either a message saying 'errors fixed' or a forced reboot. What does it mean 'without being checked' Does the boot process expect a filesystem check, in this case e2fsck? Why should their be errors. I shut the machine like this '#shutdown -h(or -r) now' Everything is unmounted and the machine turns off without a glitch that I''m aware of. How can I run e2fsck on the drives *before* they are mounted, if that is what is required here? Maxim
