I checked dmesg and you're right. In fact, the warning message was pointing to all my partitions including /cdrom. So I ran fsck and it reported back that the filesystem was still dirty and to re-run fsck, so I did, and kept getting the same results. I read the man pages for fsck and ran fsck -p and fsck -f, not sure which one was most appropriate, but the file system is still 'dirty'. What should I try next to 'clean' the 'dirty' filesystem? -- Chip www.wiegand.org ***** Visit my web site - Alternative Operating Systems - MS Windows isn't the only OS in town.
