You are most likely running the ext3 filesystem (which in theory doesn't need to fsck as often) The box will run cleanly most of the time without a fsck on an unclean shutdown. I do run fsck manually every so often just in case, but in general you shouldn't need to. I haven't read much at all about ext3 so ymmv. I do know that with other journaled filesystems I've used (XFS, waffle) you never need to fsck (or wacky in the case of waffle) unless something is "real broke" - andrew -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
