I've recently added a second hard-drive (40Gb) to my computer. It's partitioned into 4 partitions (128Mb swap + 20 + 10 + 10), and I had added the following lines to /etc/fstab: /dev/hdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /b ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb3 /c ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb4 /d ext2 defaults 1 2 Quite often, during the filesystem check at boot time, I get messages about b, c, and d being a "filesystem with errors" (and less frequently "not cleanly unmounted"). I usually end up having to run fsck manually. Can anyone suggest where the problem might lie? I'm running RH6.0 on a PII/333. Here's a portion of the /var/log/messages file Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39 Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfcf0-0xfcf7, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:DMA Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfcf8-0xfcff, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: hda: FUJITSU MPC3032AT, ATA DISK drive Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: hdb: SAMSUNG SV4084D, ATA DISK drive Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: hda: FUJITSU MPC3032AT, 3093MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=838/120/63 Dec 27 18:23:19 mandar kernel: hdb: SAMSUNG SV4084D, 38928MB w/444kB Cache, CHS=4962/255/63 Thanks very much, Mandar. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
