can anybody clue me in on why fsck on my server [yes, of course as root] seem to refuse to WRITE? we had a power out locally and i caught my UPS at the last second. i powered off my server to save the battery, etc, and a few minutes ago when i ran # fsck -y /var there were unresolved inconsistancies that fsck was not allowed to resolve. i tried to boot single use but the server (Dell 530) panicked. so finally, after deliberately crashing the box three times, fsck_ufs ran. i was able to ping outside. is there any way of scripting fsck *every* time i reboot this box? i just want to make abs certain that the filesystems are clean. ---didn't fscking used to be easier? tia, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.98a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org ethic
