somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the filesystem boot check depends on the sixth field of fstab's rows. From 'man fstab': The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. -- mathieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
