Haven't seen you doing that. > Probably your whole 10 YRS of working on FreeBSD was on a P-II or AMD K6 running a workstation in your basement, or who knows where. I contribute to this group and many other places as much as I can with my experience and if you should check the archives you'll find my name pop-up there many times. I also do other types of contributions to the FreeBSD foundation and other organizations that utilize FreeBSD. I didn't complain about the system reboots (did I?), there is definitely a problem with the system rebooting, but that is my job to resolve it (whether being hardware or FreeBSD itself) and YES FreeBSD does have its issues *BIG TIME* too. My post was regarding the whole concept of doing background fsck or foreground fsck if they both cause the machine not to be usable for the duration of the fsck. I do appreciate a lot of people who take the time to address questions on these mailings and the many more who post to various forums and message boards. However, I don't appreciate sarcasm and useless remarks especially if they were not intended to be humorous anyway. Anyhow thanks for the help and great support ! Tamouhhelp
