Thanks - this may be the most useful way to do this. But you're right - it's not exactly what I want ... provided that the critical filesystems are already clean (all I have are /, /var, and (bulk_data)) I wish it would just come up and say: "if they're clean, mount them and be happy. If they're not, just _don't mount them_. Just don't do anything. You've got your / and /var, so just be happy and wait for someone to manually bring up (bulk_data)" The reason this would work is that / and /var _always_ get foreground fsck'd before the system can go multi-user anyway ... so they are always safe ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?
