Oh, I just crash my system by pressing power-cyle . The first time around I had all "1" on my fstab and it took 1 minute and 30 seconds however I left out a 500mb partition. And as I pointed out even with the extra 500 MB partition my last fsck took less time than my first one so I have to assume that some parallization is taking place. Cheers, Amancio
