Don't run it after the system has come up. This question seems to come up rather often. Should fsck refuse to start if it's being run on a mounted volume? Possibly with an error like "Please unmount /dev/ad?s1? before running fsck"? Or is there a reason why such behaviour would be undesirable? -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
