FBSD complaints about a dirty /tmp filesystem (/mnt is not on a separate fs) so / cannot be mounted R/W and the system boot in single mode. If i do a 'mount -f -orw /' then a ^D, the system goes in normal mode and i can work as usual... Obviously, i've done multiple fsck on /, but the pb remains... It seems FBSD "remember" that i have mounted my / partition on /mnt to fix the pb i've had with my junk 4-Current trial. What could be the reason of this and how to fix it ? (/ is using softupdates). Thanks in advance. -- --------------------------------------------------------- Éric Jacoboni « No sport, cigars! » (W.
