'2' is in this case the wrong option. man fstab tells you: <quote> The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to deter- mine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. </quote> so write '0' instead of '2' as the last field in /etc/fstab and you won't get any automatic fscks on these mountpoints/partitions. cu, ms -- n: Michael Schiansky (geek / nerd / dd) e: michael@schiansky.de e: ms@its.ms m: +49 163 49 33 688
