Depends on how much time instantaneous is for you. I haven't used fsck for quite some time, so I'm not sure anymore what it specifically does. I know that it's first supposed to check for directory consistency. Can it do that almost instantaneously? Maybe, but I would imagine that with the number of folders in a typical OS X system disk, that wouldn't be really instantaneously. But I've never seen fsck failing for any reason. That's from my experience from using NeXTStep since 1992... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fix n.,v.: What one does when a problem has been reported too many times to be ignored. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
