A very good hint. Didn't I mention it? No? Bad idea. Background concept: The fsck utility does changes to the file system when repairing it, and the kind of these changes implies that the file system is not mounted, so there's no unexpected interruption by maybe a write operation from a program. That's what downtime is good for - letting fsck doing its job well. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
