No need to put it in rc.boot. After running that command, reboot and type tune2fs -l /dev/hdXX where XX is your partition. You will see what I mean. >PS I believe the "-C" above should be lower-case, as in "-c". >At least that's what the patch page showed... maybe they're >equivalents. Sorry. Typo. It is indeed -c. >From man tune2fs : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -c max-mount-counts adjust the maximal mounts count between two filesystem checks. -i interval-between-checks[d|m|w] adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w in weeks. A value of zero will dis? able the timedependent checking. -C mount-count set the number of times the filesystem has been mounted. -l list the contents of the filesystem superblock. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warm Regards -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rajesh Fowkar [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kurtarkar Nagari,Bldg-C,T4, http://rajesh.computers.webjump.com Santacruz,Ponda-Goa-403401-INDIA Powered By : Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 R-3 Kernel 2.4.7(with ext3),Mutt 1.3.19i,IceWM "Silence is the true friend that never betrays." - Confucious ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
