That did solve the problem. However, I'm confused. Upon reboot, the system checks to see if file systems were properly dismounted and is supposed to do an fsck. Since those don't show up in messages, I can't verify this, but I'm pretty certain it must have thought it was clean, which it wasn't. (One reason I'm pretty certain is the time involved when run manually as you suggested). The file system in question was mounted below "/". Does the system only auto-check file systems mounted at "/"? > Your swap configuration is also mostly likely silly. If you need > more performance, that's not the way to do it. Can you explain or point me to an explanation for this comment? It looks to me like what's shown in the EXAMPLES section of "man fstab". Thanks, Gary
