Careful with the order of those commands. You are *NOT* allowed to fsck a filesystem that has been mounted as read-write. You also missed an invocation of adjkerntz, which is pretty much mandatory for getting the timestamps of files right. The correct thing to do, would be (comments in parentheses): # adjkerntz -i (adjust kernel time) # fsck -p (check all filesystems) # mount -u / (mount root fs as read-write) # mount -a (mount all other filesystems) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
