X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:45:11 -0000 My Thinkpad got instable, and I haven't figured out yet whether it's hardware, FreeBSD's RELENG_6 kernel or X11/DRI. Anyway... I always go through a foreground fsck, no matter whether the thing paniced or had a powercycle, or how long it has been up. I have softupdates activated but I must be missing something. I badly need background fsck. We are talking a 1.3 GHz, a 5400 rpm P-ATA notebook harddrive with a 150 GB filesystem here :-/ Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer http://www.cons.org/cracauer/ FreeBSD - where you want to go, today. http://www.freebsd.org/
