I'm not sure what would cause this, but it can happen if the init scripts try to close down the root partition before all the processes have died. If you have a process that won't die, this can happen. But it doesn't really hurt anything, since the files are in a pretty clean state anyway. > (B) "/dev/hda3 has reached maximum mount count, check forced..." This just means exactly what it says. Every so often, a filesystem gets checked, whether it needs it or not. > (C) "12345 blocks not contiguous (4.3 %)...." Tells you how many of your files are not contiguous on the disk. 4.3% is a very good percentage. > Does Linux need 'defrag' as DOS/WINDOWS ?????? A defrag exists for Linux but you don't need to use it. The Linux kernel keeps the filesystems pretty defragmented as it is. If you split /usr and /home off on separate partitions, it stays even more defragmented. > During the boot process, I ALWAYS obtain the following message too: > > (D) "SIOCADDRT: invalid argument" This usually means that a device, probably a network card, had a problem with the configuration. If everything seems to be working correctly, ignore it.
