So, not being a programmer, I shamelessly copied the relevant part of the script in /etc/init.d/boot.localfs to check the status of the filesystem and fsck it if needed. I actually put my backup script together back during 8.2, so I used the code for then. When 9.3 started automounting, I changed to always umount first, then fsck, then mount and backup. With 10.2, I needed to tweak it some to umount by the dev rather than mountpoint, but other than that it has worked very well. > Thanks much for clarification > > No problem. No use in struggling to solved what has already been solved. :-)
