This may give an indication of when fsck will run again. Will have to do some research as to what kernel or init parameters enables fsck to run when it detects disk errors. I do recall this use to happen to me whenever my system was improperly shutdown. Just need to find what triggers it. -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/ mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
