I wondered that too. Except as Darac pointed out the xfs file system implements a dynamic fsck and therefore you don't notice a separate fsck step at boot time. I ran XFS file systems for many years (a good file system) and one of the advantages of doing so is that it avoids the periodic fsck check. I have never seen it stall at mount time. I suspect that something else is the root cause of this problem. Bob
