How's that ?? ;-) Rebooted. Works fine. It's now my formal recommendation: use "ext3,ext2" to specify the fstype for an ext3 partition in /etc/fstab. This will allow it to be mounted as ext3 if possible, or ext2 by non-ext3-aware kernels. (It's better than using 'auto' because it's more specific (less chance of unexpected results) and updatedb skips partitions whose type is listed as 'auto' in fstab.) good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
