Hello guys, [Cc-ing the list just for the sake of the archives, so that people could see what the resolution of the case was.] Thanks for trying to help me while I was busy sleeping... here I am again. As suggested, I looked at my fstab, although I do not remember fiddling with it in a long time. (In fact, the last time was when I installed my second disk into the system some time at the end of last year.) And sure as hell, there it was: next to /dev/ad1s1a there was *no* dump number and *no* pass no. Not zeros, but nothing, nada, nichts. This, of course, explains a lot of things... after putting the correct values in there, fsck worked. But I have no idea how/why the numbers got deleted... and then why it worked before? Thanks all the same, things seem to work out A OK right now. :-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
