In rc.conf I have enabled fsck_y_enable=3D"YES" to allow unattended fsck fixes after improper shutdown but I have noticed there are some problems remaining as shown by a read only fsck. Does the above switch not fix all problems or is it the case the fsck bootup script only does partial tests? Can I do a full fsck test and fix on a remote machine without needing a local tech to boot the machine in single user mode? Thanks Chris
