When I did, I got the following message -- Superblock last write time is in the future Fix(y)? I said fix and it came back saying the volume was clean. I then rebooted normally and it still ran an fsck. So, I went back and booted from the rescue disk again, ran another e2fsck, and got that same message about the superblock last write time being in the future. I again fixed it, rebooted, and it still runs an fsck. Really strange. Greg Wallace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
