My memory is a little uncertain, and I can't find a solid reference, but I think you can use "xfs_repair -n" in place of xfs_check, without making any changes to the FS, and xfs_repair is less memory intensive. I'd be pretty worried operating a file system that had grown beyond the limits of what the FS check utility can handle. --peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
