I've never had this happen. I haven't seen a filesystem get unmounted cleanly then come up and say theres problems unless theres a hardware problem(which I have encountered on Asus A7A266, filesystem curroption would be complete and immediate upon unmount). You could instruct the journal to replay entries if needed, but other then that theres probably not a whole lot to do. if the filesystem was not unmounted cleanly the journal check would run and replay any entries that were missed. if it was, I can't see how the system would know there was any problems on the filesystem because it was unmounted cleanly. The journal check is not a full filesystem check though, not in the 'traditional' sense. It is supposed to accomplish the same end result, just in a different manor, I don't think it goes through all files and directories on the disk to check them. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
