If you want to get rid of the reboot loop, set: background_fsck="NO" Then it will either come up, or ask for help if anything fails. If you absolutely want the server to come up, you can set this fsck_y_enable="YES" Assuming you're in the habit of answering "yes" to fsck's questions, this will do it automatically in case of problems. (Both settings are for /etc/rc.conf, of course) CU, Sec -- One of the strongest advantages of plain-text email is that people cannot use the typesetting features they want. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
