Whether I run fsck manually or if I run it automagically at boot via rc (which happens every reboot), it fails. As I'm not at console, I can't tell whether the same things happen if the box is physically taken down. and fsck'd in single user mode. The better part of the question is, could this be the RAID card throwing out false errors due to not having complete support for 5.3-R?, as it says that it only supports the 4.x series.

Your fstab is OK.

I don't exactly understand the problem. When you boot fsck will run automatically if the system did not correctly shut down. This is done *before* disks are mounted rw, so there's no way you will see the "(NO WRITE)" message.

If system was not correctly shut down, fsck will run, and it *will* (and should) slow down system boot process.

So, is it the problem that fsck is running *every* time you boot? Or is it that you get this "(NO WRITE)" message when you run it manually?
