Make sure the sixth field in your /etc/fstab is set to 0(zero) or empty for removable media. From 'man 5 fstab' The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) pro gram to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be speci fied with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not pre sent or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
