Only it did fix the errors. dunno... strange. This isn't succicient as whem going MUM -> SUM the file systems will stay mounted. To be sure, _start_ the system in SUM 8select the proper item from the boot menu, or use "boot -s" at the loader prompt). In this mode, only / will be mounted ro, all other partitions won't be mounted and can therefore be checked AND modified. Of course, you can also boot the system from a live system CD and issue the fsck commands from there, using the device names instead of the mountpoints. After successfully repairing the partitions, they will be marked clean. At next system startup, there won't be a long fsck run. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
