It's not only the clean flag. There might be other bogus messages resulting out of applying fsck to a live file system (incorrenct block counts for example). So running it is just a thing for hackers and experienced admins, while it will confuse many people who are new to the concepts of a unix file system. Perhaps the best solution would be to have a knob for turning it on. I remember some Perl script called jkh who wanted to revamp all those /etc/*ly scripts some day. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
