I'm open to reason. I seem to recall that this page, http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html, says to use 'auto'. I have to trust their opinion there... (btw, the page/server seems to be misconfigured at the moment... I'm getting a 'Forbidden' message) > Specify what you want. If you get it, great, if you don't, fix the > problem. In this case, the ext3 developers are correct. It *does* work correctly in this case. Regards Hall
